AS, Poultry Appliance is the official
designation OF this unique method of
treating the hen. The inventor declares
it is specially adapted to breaking up or
reducing to minimum the practice OF
egg picking so prevalent among domestic
fowls, and another object is that a device
of this character may be SO constructed
as to be arranged without nest.
There are a number of drawings of
other unique patents one can see in this
division. One of the most peculiar is a
foot warmer, patent for which was is
sued in February. 1877. The title given
this apparatus is Pedal Calorificator'
and the idea is to warm the feet by
means of two rubber tubes running down
each leg to the foot, and one tube running
from the center of the body to the mouth.

The wearer OF this masterpiece of in
genuity Is supposed to breathe into the
mouthpiece. and according to the patenfee
the breath will keep the feet warm.

Many other curious and unique patents

are revealed upon further search Of the
records One III particular is where
patent was granted on a certain device
whereby two railway trains can meet
on a single track, one passing over the
top OF the other while the other train
keeps right on going underneath. Ac-
cording to the patentee. trains cannot
only meet and r s. one over the other.
but fast train may ;.leet the slow train
and Immediately proceed to climb right
up over the slow train. take the track in
front and keep on going. This almost
miraculous feat is expected to be accom-
plished by means of tracks on the tops
of all trains, the fronts and ends Of
trains to be constructed on the order of
wedge point in front and back. When
one train meets another it will only be
necessary for the engine and cars to
CLIMB over the engine and cars of the
train going in the opposite direction.
There are ingenious means provided so
the engine will not attempt to bore I'M
derneath instead Of overhead.
Another interesting patent was granted
TO a man who had been troubled with
cold weather. This man proceeded to get
a patent on foot and body warmer with
furnace directly In front OF the abdo-
men, and pipes running from the furnace
TO the head and feet with kettle OF
top of the head. The claim Is made that
1T would only he necessary to start the
furnace and the furnace you'd do the

curious nests and eggs. Here the boy Will
find the nest of the chimney sparrow, tne

sight OF the nest of the tiny house wren

reason for all that work was because the
wren does not like a large home: prt
desires a snug cavity. and if her CHOSEN
place is too large she proceeds to MAKE
it smaller The eggs III this case are
altogether wonderful. Side by side are
an egg of the hunlming bird and one OF
the aepyornis, which. the card says. Is

roe of his story books. These two are
the largest and smallest eggs in the

that of the humming bird. But there arc

Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought.
That appointment took place about
nine years ago, and represented the crys-
utilization of many years thought and
planning. When DIR. Langley died in
l9N6 the ''childr' rs room had already
become place of joy to his little fiiends,
and today it is even morc popular. The
general plan of the collection and the ar
rangement has remained practically the
same as when first completed by DR..
Langley.
The first step to be taken in the prep
aration Of such a room as DIR. LangleI
wanted was the choosing Of the room
1t must not be too large. for then II
would contain so many things that the
child would become discouraged at the
first glance. For that reason the room
directly opposite the main entrance was
thought to be appropriate. Inc next
thing was TO remodel il SO as 10 make
it a fitting receptacle for the treasures 1t
was TO hold. The windows were altered.
in order to admit all the light possible
and change the atmosphere attendant
upon the general run of museum rooms
into one of light and spaciousness. This
accomplished, there yet remained the
decoration. With what result this was
accomplished 6 only too we'll known TO
The little visitors of the room, who feel
a friendly interest in the gayiy colored

sky spaces through which the birds look
down upon their human friends. This
same effect is carried on outside we'll
as inside, that is. In summer for the WIN
dows look out upon the broad grounds,
showing the green OF the trees and grass
and the blue of the sky, and admitting
the CHEEKY notes of the song birds.

DR.. Langley so carefully selected, the
children will frankly admit that they are
