as well as waterproof, will not spot, which makes them doubly 

 to be desired. For women they are made in six and ten button 

 lengths, and for men in five and eight buttons. For people who 

 prefer to wear low shoes the year round with the coming of 

 cravenette overgaiters the problem of comfort is solved. S. Rauh 

 & Co., No. 310 Sixth avenue, New York, control the sole rights 

 of manufacture in the United States. 



THE COVEE RUBBER GOGGLE. 



A NEW rubber goggle consists of a single piece of pure gum, 

 with curved and tapering walls projecting from the lens hold- 

 ing portions and terminating in a Hat, yielding cushion which 

 fits air tight. For the use of firemen in smoke and fumes, mica 



lenses are used, because broken 



glass would endanger the eyes. 

 For general use, large, clear 

 glass lenses are employed which 

 fit into grooves with elastic 

 flaps and are air tight the mo- 

 ment inserted. The lenses can 

 be removed, cleaned, and in- 

 serted again in a moment's time. 

 The desirable features of this 

 new goggle are the simple con- 

 struction of a single piece of 

 pure rubber, which is light ; the 

 .-•etting of the glasses air tight 

 the moment inserted, and the 

 elasticity of the cushion mem- 

 bers and their close air tight 

 contact with the flesh about the 

 eyes, even with the most irregular features. When desired, the 

 goggle is ventilated by perforating the curved flange with a 

 number of small holes. This goggle is also adapted to use by 

 chemical workers, foundrymen, grinders, polishers, and the like. 

 The forms and details of construction of this new goggle have 

 been covered by three United States patents, and patents have 

 been issued or are pending in foreign countries. [H. S. Cover, 

 South Bend, Indiana.]

RUBBER SHOES BY THE DIPPED PROCESS. 



A PROCESS of manufacturing overshoes for which United 

 States patent No. 832,278 has been granted consists (1) in 

 depositing rubber in liquid form over a foot form ; (2) allowing 

 the deposit to assume a more solid character; (3) placing a 

 reinforcing piece of sheet-rubber-containing material over the 

 foregoing; (4) depositing a thin film of rubber containing mate- 

 rial over the whole; and (5) vulcanizing. The working of the 

 invention is best carried out by dipping the foot form into a 

 bath of liquid rubber, both before and after the addition of the 

 reinforcing piece of sheet rubber. Instead nf n single bath of the

foot form, in the first step of the process, any number may be 

 used, to make a shoe of greater weight or thickness, and the re- 

 inforcing sheet may be cemented on, together with a sole piece, 

 if desired. The result, in brief, is to make a shoe by the dipped 

 process. The product is an exceptionally light shoe, designed 

 especially for ladies' wear. It is suited for being carried in small 

 compass, as a precaution, when one is starting out in fair 

 weather, but with rain threatening. [Emergency Rubber Co.,

RUBBER bubbles. 



By the invention of "rubber bubbles" one of the greatest joys 

 of childhood has been robbed of its unpleasant feature — soap 

 and water. This makes it a most welcome successor to the old- 

 fashioned method of blowing bubbles when wet clothing, wet 

 boys and girls, and wet everything seemed to be the outcome. 

 Yet such innocent sport can hardly be denied, and to the genius 

 who has made it nnssihle to allay the attendant fears of ruined

arpets, additional laundry work, general untidiness, and often 

 contracted colds, will have the blessing of every household where 

 there are children. The Rubber Bubble outfit consists of a small 

 pipe (which, by the way, is not breakable), and rubber bubbles. 

 The bubles are easily adjusted in the owl of the pipe and inflated. 

 When it has reached a diameter of about six inches a slight 

 tossing motion will enable it to leave the pipe and go sailing 

 over the room, a valve in the stem end keeping it inflated. Red 

 and blue bubbles of the finest rubber make the children wild 

 with delight. [The M. Lindsay Rubber Manufacturing Co..
