THERMos AND HISTORY.
The Norwich Bottle Would Have
ChaaNNd the Map of the World.

Inspired by the present Thermos
campaigns contributor submits the
following thoughts on The1mos and
history:
In the 90 years since Napoleon made
his disastrous retreat from Moscow
the world has seen marvellous progress
in inventions and-not least-Thermos
bottles have come into use since that
eventful march, which cost the lives
Of major portion of the emperor's
'grande arnie."
Had Napoleon possessed a supply
OF Thermos bottles, similar to those
that soon will be turned out in Nor
witch by the gross, he probably would
nave saved the lives of thousands of
his troops. The Russians had laid

invaders q Cuba would have been
spared the ravages of disease and
much untold suffering could they have
carried a supply of food and drinka-
0les IN Thermos bottles.
But not alone to warfare does the
Thermos bottle lend its succor. The
arts Of peace are blessed by its pres
ence. The warm potion or cooling
draught may save the life of the in
