MANY INVENTIONS

We have all heard of the polo pony in Kim which was so clever, said its sarcastic and “bitten” buyer, that it not only played the game, but also waited at table. Many a horseman has sadly considered thes« marvels after the purchase, but it remains for England to supply one better in the latest inventions. Many ingenious ideas have come to light at the Exhibition of Inventions held at the Central Hall, Westminster. One of the cleverest was made up of a gas-pipe, a teapot, a kettle and an alarm clocx. If you want to be called at any hour of the morning, with tea, you simply put water in the kettle and tea in the pot the night before, set the alarm crock at the required hour, and go confidently to sICQp. On the very stroke of the hour next morning you are awakened by the alarm bell to find that the kettle has boiled, and your tea is ready in the pot. Other exhibits include a cigaretteholder from which, when you have finished your cigarette, you can eject the butt by merely depressing the nozzle; an electric trousers-press, an automatic brush for dirty perambulator wheels, and a golf club with which, it is said, it is almost impossible really to “duff” a shot.
