NEW PATENTS.
Ax ingenious Yankee has invented a process whereby wars are to be rendered impossible. It consists of a number of powerful •lynamoes capable of hurling thunderbolts a distance of a mile. By this means any army taking the field is doomed to instant annihilation. Under these circumstances the tioops will naturally refuse to obey orders, '['here is only one hitch about the contrivance ; these lightning machines do not .york In wet weather. Another Yankee has patented a cat made of cardboard, with •yes that are made to glow in the dark by •leans of phosphorus. You place one of ihese cats in thegarret or the cellar, and its very presence scares away the mice.
