as a receptacle for some material or substance, such as perfumery. 

 When the body is filled, it is corked and the eye-piece fitted to the neck, 

 an attractive and convenient toilet-bottle thus being produced. The 

 cork is concealed by said eye-piece, so that unauthorized persons will 

 experience some difficulty in abstracting the perfumery. When the

perfumery is exhausted, the cork is thrown away and the service of the 

 Microscope begins, said service being similar to that hereinbefore stated. 



To the eye-piece is secured a chain, F, whereby the device may 

 be readily carried, whether as a Microscope or toilet-bottle. 



Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and 

 desire to secure by Letters Patent, is — 



1. A glass bottle having a closed bottom integral with the body 

 thereof and an open mouth, in combination with an eye-piece closing 

 said mouth, formed of a lens and holder therefor, said mouth being 

 adapted to contain a cork, substantially as and for the purpose set 

 forth. 



2. A bottle provided with a removable eye-piece and a base and 

 chain, substantially as and for the purpose set forth." 



Griffith's Multiple Eye-piece.— Mr. E. H. Griffith sends us the 

 eye-piece (fig. 58) which he has devised.
