Pipe Loaded From Stem 



A 



DETACHA- 

 BLE pipe in 

 which a specially 

 prepared roll of 

 tobacco is loaded in 

 the stem instead of 

 the bowl is said to 

 afford a cool and 

 non-biting smoke. 

 Air is drawn in to 

 the burning tobacco through the bowl, 

 and as it is packed up tight against the 

 stem nicotine cannot enter the smoker's 

 mouth. When the roll of tobacco has 

 been smoked the bowl is detached from 

 its stem and the ashes are removed 

 from the loading end.

A 



Spout Attachment for Bottles 

 N attach- 



ment ap- 

 plied to the 

 mouths or necks 

 of bottles directs 

 the pouring of the 

 liquid and serves 

 to catch the drip. 

 It isconstructed 

 of any suitable 

 material, such as 



celluloid, sheet metal or the like, and is 

 inclined downwardly and inwardly from 

 its outer toward its inner edge. The arms 

 attached to the spout are pro^•ided with 

 loops or eyes to facilitate a clamping 

 engagement. 



A Fancy Shoe-Lace Cover 



ASHOE-EACE cover with a bow affixed 

 to its upper end has been devised by 

 a New York man who is fond of decorative 

 ankles. The jaunty bow is to please the 

 aesthetic sense while the cover is supposed 

 to save the shoe- 

 lace and keep dirt 

 from entering the 

 shoe. The upper 

 part of the attach- 

 ment terminates 

 in a buckle and 

 belt de\ice which 

 fits tightly about 

 the ankle. 



bining balls and 

 rollers in a man- 

 ner which auto- 

 matically com- 

 pensates for varia- 

 tions in roller di- 

 ameter has been 



devised. The balls are placed in the 

 bearing in two rows, as indicated, and 

 permit of the automatic adjustment of 

 the rollers. The concentricity of the 

 bearing itself as well as of the bearing 

 upon its mounting and its housing is 

 secured without compelling extensively 

 close limits in machining. 



A Spoon That Can't Slip 

 _ I A SPOON has 



Jr\. been in\ent- 

 ed with teeth or 

 serrated edges to 

 enable it to hook 

 upon the edge of 

 a dish and stay in 

 any position in 

 which it is placed. 

 The teeth are in 

 the handle and 

 are so arranged that they do not inter- 

 fere with the operation of the spoon. 

 The spoon can not slip down the edge of 

 a pan or dish and become emerged in the 

 contents. Furthermore, it will retain 

 heat as readily as the ordinary spoon. 



A Heater for the Parlor Lamp 



A LAMP may give both light and heat 

 with the attachment illustrated. It 

 can be applied to an ordinary table lamp, 

 although the construction is applicable to 

 all manners of burners. It can be quickly 

 fitted to a lamp 

 without any struc- 

 tural changes, and 

 it is so simple in 

 construction that 

 anyone can use it. 

 It gi\'cs off a maxi- 

 mum anu)unt of 

 heat when applied 

 to an\' burner.
