Invention and Discovery.
Every boy who is fond of carpentering will be delighted with the little invention illustrated below.
All boys who are not thoroughly expert joiners know the great difficulties that lie in the way of making partitions neat and workmanlike in appearance.
With this little invention it will be possible to give a neatness and a firmness to corners that few amateurs have been able to attain.
This patent is a small metal clasp which is laid over the joint and pressed firmly on every side of it.
It is easily applied, and should be used by all carpenters.
This attachment for bicycles seems to be a very useful and sensible one.
It is intended for use on newspaper routes, and is made with a wire attachment over the front wheel in which the papers can be carried.
Newspaper dealers have to arrange the delivery of the daily papers into routes, much in the same way that the postmen do the letters they carry, and a great many boys are employed to carry these papers about.
It takes a long time to walk over the route, and it would save the newspaper dealers a great deal of time if they could find a better means of delivering their papers, than the employment of so many small boys.
With the newspaper rack for bicycles the dealer himself will be able to do more than half the work, and save himself money, as well as the anxiety lest his boys are not doing their work properly.
