A Table Fan of Attractive Design 



A table fan of radically new design is 

 now available. The original feature of 

 this fan is that it is so constructed as 

 to permit of placing a dish on top of it, 

 thus making it unnecessary to devote 

 valuable table space to it, and also giving 

 it the ornamental appearance of a pedes- 

 tal. 



The table fan is of the universal type 

 and can be operated on either direct or 

 alternating current of any frequency. It 

 is being made for use on circuits of from 

 loo to 220 volts. The fan is provided 

 with a three-speed regulating device for 

 controlling the amount of breeze. The 

 operation of the motor is said to be 

 noiseless. 



Hot and Cold Water from the Same 

 Faucet 



An electrical device for heating water, 

 which has recently been placed on the 

 market, makes possible the securing of 

 hot and cold water from any faucet. 

 The device is attractively finished and 

 may be attached to any faucet. 



The electrical water heater is 12 inches 

 in height and is made to be connected 

 immediately to any cold water faucet. 

 Two wires are provided for connection 

 to an electric circuit. By turning the 

 handle of the device to the right or left, 

 it is possible to secure cold or hot water 

 instantaneously. The temperature of the 

 hot water is controlled by the rate of 



flow. If boiling water is desired, the 

 faucet is turned but a trifle so that the 

 water will take a longer time to flow 

 through the heater, and intermediate 

 temperatures are secured by a propor- 

 tionately slower flow. The advantage 

 of the hot water heater is that it saves 

 plumbing expenses since it is only neces- 

 sary to run piping for the cold water. 



Making the Garbage Can Odorless 



With a view to making all garbage 

 cans both odorless and sanitary, an 

 American inventor has perfected a lid 

 that has many advantages. The pat- 

 ented lid does much to give a garbage 

 can a more attractive appearance and 

 make its use more agreeable. 



The device is made in the form of a 

 high lid that fits on any garbage can. 

 At the top is a handle that may be turned 

 completely around, as well as a hinged 

 cover. Inside the lid is a metal shelf 

 that extends over just one-half the 

 area of the can, as well as a metal blade 

 that is pivoted to the shaft of the handle 

 and made so as to be turned around at 

 will. 



The action of the odorless lid is quite 

 simple: The lid may only be opened 

 when the handle is not covering it and 

 consequently when the metal blade is in 

 such position as to shut off the shelf 

 from the lower part of the can. After 

 the garbage has been placed in the upper 

 compartment of the can, the handle is 

 turned, with the result that the blade
