STRANGEST EXHIBITION

A 1 Scottish mousetrap that recovers its own bait, and a necktie equipped with a sponge for soup-eaters, are pari of the world’s most freakish show, opened with a display of 5000 new inventions, at the Grand Central Palace. A perfume atomiser attached to a fork for eating high-smelling choese and a reversible hat for women contributed by a Western cattleman, are also features of the show. Other exhibits are an assortment of whistling egg-cookers’, a substitute for crooning, self-smoking pipes, and nonskid soap bars, the last-mentioned being: the invention of a ten-year-ol'd .girl, who has several other patents to her credit".
