A Paeroa, business man has lately given a practical illustraton of the fact that necessity is the mother of invention. Messrs Morgan Bros., aerated cordial manufacturers, re-' quired a machine for fitting the crowns (the metal and cork tops) on bottles. Finding, that such a machine would cost about £lOO to buy, one of the partners, Mr C. Morgan, who has considerable aptitude for mechanics, invented a machine for the purpose, and which turns out to be simpler and more effective than anythipg of the kind on the market in any part of the world. The invention has been patented, and is expected to have a. good sale. Instead of a great costly and complicated machine, the whole apparatus could be put into a box about nine inches in depth and six inches in circumference, and will probably retail at £lO or £l5. Mr OMorgan is also the maker of a miniature steam engine, constructed Just for pastime.
