INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.

COAT HANGER.—­An inventor in Boston has just perfected an excellent coat-hanger.

At the first glance it looks like the ordinary hangers we have been using for so many years, but this invention obviates the one objection which attaches to all the other hangers we have come across—­it adapts itself to the size of the place in which it is to be used.

[Illustration:  Hanger]

Those who live in small houses or apartments with meagre cupboard-room know that the old hanger is out of the question for them, two coats or waists taking up the entire length of the wardrobe.

The new hanger is adjustable.  Its arms work on a spring.  It can stretch them out to the fullest extent where space is no object, but when used in a cupboard where every inch counts, the accommodating arms will fold together, and taking one sleeve of the coat or waist on each arm, lay them together in the same position they would be in if folded in a drawer.  It then hangs in precisely the same manner as the usual hanger, but with this difference, that it occupies but half the space.

EXAMINATIONS

    Have you thought of the Relief Maps for examination work? 
    Are you following from day to day the war in the East?

    Klemm’s Relief Practice Maps

     especially adapted to examination work, as they are
     perfectly free from all political details.  Any examination
     work may be done on them.

For following the Eastern Question use Klemm’s Roman Empire, and record each day’s events.  Small flags attached to pins, and moved on a map as the armies move, keep the details before you in a most helpful way, especially when you use the Relief Maps.
