An Alarm Bottle Fop Poisons.
A Chicago man has invented a bottle stopper to be used exculsively for poisons. The superiority over the old fashioned article li*-s in the construction of the stopper. Tin projection which enters the neck of tha bott'e is ground glass with a small hole in one side through which protrudes a little red or trigger. 'J he top of the stopper is covered with a small bell enclosing cog wheels, which are so arranged that when the stopper is removed *he beli will ring. When it is laid down it rings again, and when returned to its place in the bottle it again sounds an alarm. The mechanism is bo arranged that it is absolute 1 ? inr possible to remove or replace the stopper without first ringing tha bell, thus making it impossible for a druggist, if be is careful in the filling of his bottles, to deal out poison in the place of harmless drugs without receiving a warning as to the dangerous nature of the preparation. — Pottery and Glassware Reporter.
