New Electric Fly Swatter.
Herschell Colyar, of Visalia, Cal., is the inventor of a new fly killer that is guaranteed to get the best of them. The “killer” is a small apparatus composed of a number of wires. It can be hung any place and connected with the “juice,” and when Mr. Fly touches any of said wires, he quickly falls dead.
A barber shop is fitted up with one of them, and it seems to be doing remarkable work.
It is said that some of the largest companies in the country have been working on such an apparatus for[Pg 60] years, and finally had declared that such an outfit could not be made. Colyar has been working on his invention for about three years.
