 Benzine a Drop at a Time 



The device is pressed 

 down on the glove. This

 through a small hole into

Good-By to the Pin-Boys in the 

 Bowling-Alley 



ANEW kind of bowling-alley has 

 been invented bj' Joseph M. West, 

 Rockport, Missouri. The bowler throws 

 a ball suspended from a trolley carriage 

 which travels on an elevated guide-rail. 

 It is merely necessary to pull a lever to 

 cause a resetting ring to push the pins 

 back into upright position. The ball is 

 automatically returned to the bowler 

 without the services of the pin-boys. A 

 perfectly accurate fioor, 

 expensive feat- 

 ure of an alley, 

 is not es- 

 sential.
