MANY QUEER INVENTIONS
Uncle Sans Patent Office Is Working
Overtime on Some Unheard-of
Novelties.

Uncle Sans idea factory (othen
wise known as the patent office) is
working overtime It's output has
never been SO great as at present, and
some of the novelties 1t is turning out
in the way of brain products are both
valuable and interesting.
Take, for example, the bubble hat"
which is so new that 1t has not yet
had a chance to become fashionable.
In the top of this article of feminine
headgear (Which may be made of any
pattern that is most becoming) is
placed cup-shaped receptacle par.
TALLY filled with Il soap and water So
lution-the very stuff, In fact, for
making soap bubbles.
The cup is connected by con-
cealed rubber tube with a little metal
cylinder which is conveniently hidden
In some part Of the dress. The cylin-
der contains hydrogen gas under pres.
sure. A push with the thumb on a
piston opens a valve and allows some
OF the gas to escape through the tube,
with, the result that a soap bubble
forms In the cup and rises into the air.
VI much more extended useful
ness, however, are the artificial eye
lashes" which lady of Ottawa has
recently patented in this country.
An Ohio man Is the originator OF
the rubber warship. He thinks that
our hghting vessels would be much
more efficient If they were built OF
rubber instead of steel Just imag-
Inc. The new battleship Caoutchouc

The latter at once opens fire at short
range. The first shot misses; the
second strikes the Caoutchouc square

stack. the cooks galley and all the
captains official bric.a-brac.

named.
