LOW’S GROUND COMPASSES. 
Patent No. 767-(l893>. 
The Compasses are substantially made of wood, four feet long, 
shod with metal, and have a radius of six feet. 
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINO. 
Slip off the leather hand A and open the le, 4 S of the Compasses, then 
from the groove in the leg B remove the thin piece of wood which is 
hinged at the top, this pass through the slot in the other leg and there 
secure bv the thumbsci'ew at the required distance ; then take the square 
piece of wood C, which press s])ike downwards into the ground, and in the 
iiole in its upper side place the point of the stationary leg B. The stiuare 
piece of wood C, being provided with sights at right angles, can be also 
used as a cross; the spike fitting into an orifice at the top of the Compasses 
D, which when closed and secured by the leather hand, can be thrust into 
the ground, serving the purpose of a staff. 
ADVANTAGES. 
A straight piece of wood is in.ide use of instead of the segment in the 
ordinary ground Compasses; this being liinged at the top, when not in use 
rests in’ a groove in the leg, thus taking up less space and rendering the 
Compasses more easily portable than tho.;e in general use. 
Also, by reason of a square piece of wood bearing a metal spike on the 
one side for fixing in the ground, and having a metal plate with a hole in 
its centre on the otlier side for inserting the stationary leg of the Coin;jasses, 
thu.s preventing it from sinking in soft ground, keeps the same firm, and 
enables truer and more accurate designs for garden purposes to be made 
than witli the ordinary ground Compasses; this same instrument, being 
provided with sights at right angles, when fixed at the top of the Compasses 
enalilcB perpen liculars to be erected.

PERFECT SYRINGER. lEegistered Design No. 223,229.1 
If ever there was an in- 
strument where the words 
“ immense improvement” is 
correctly applied it is this. 
In this we get one continual 
stream of fine.-t rain at a 
great force to dislodge in- 
sects and spiders’ homes ; it 
lea\ es the house and every 
axil of leaf, nook, and 
corner saturated. We have 
never had anything so need- 
ful for stove and Orchids us 
this. Those who have to 
bob and squat like a pop- 
gun for hours with the 
syringe will hail this with 
the greatest delight, as it 
does more work in five 
minutes, and that more 
effectually, than the old sys- 
tem in half-an-hoiir.
