"SALADA:
Safety -Pin Inventor
From our earliest beginnings, we
are very close to the safety pin.
And it is an ingenious device, and
the uses to which it may be part
are manifold.
The man who invented the safe-
ty pin was \Waiter flunk, IIe did
it not because he wanted to keep
his pants up, but because he owed
his draftsman $15. -
1 -le sold the model and patent.
of the pin for $400 and that is all
the profit he ever made from one
of the world's most useful devices.
Bunt was a Quaker who came
from upstate New York to settle
in New York city in 1825, accord-
ing to a recent article by Jean
Libman Block in American Week-
ly, He pursued inventions as a full
time career. He tossed off a new -
invention whenever he needed
money to support Ids wife and five
children.
His inventions were practical,
but he himself was not. He failed
to capitalize on his inventions, with
the result that other people got
much of the financial reward that
should have been his.
He is the man who invented the
knife sharpener which operates
when the blade is drawn between

two Bets of wheels. He invented a
sugar pourer that allows only one
spoonful of sugar to rust out at a
time. IIe invented the little stopper
that bobs back into place after you
have dipped your pen in an inkwell.
The rotary brush to be attached
to horse cars was invented by Aunt
and it was New York's first street
cleaning equipment. The sante year,
1835, TIunt built New York's first
concrete building on \Vest 10th
Street, It was known as Hunt's
Folly because people thought 0
absurd to use concrete as a huild-
iag material. Then after the Civil
War concrete became the hottest
thing in construction circles.
But ITunt's pioneer efforts were
forgotten.
About 100 years ago he patent-
ed first a wooden cartridge enclos-
ing a lead ball, then a metallic
bullet and then a breech -loading
repeating gun. Hunt assigned these
inventions for a small sum to fire-
arms companies.
Hunt's only impractical inven-
tion wasa weird pair of suction
shoes that allowed an acrobat of
walk upside down across a polish-
ed ceiling. It made for a good
stunt, but few people wanted to
walk on ceilings, so there wasn't
much money in the invention.
All these inventions were minor
commercial failures compared to
Hunt's catastrophic encounter
with mechanized sewing. in 1832
he put together a machine that
seamed, stitched and sewed cloth.
But he neglected to latent his de-
vice and sold his model to a black-
smith named Arrowsmith for a
small sum.
Then, a dozen years later, a
young farm boy named Elliaa
Howe Jr., patented a sewing ma-
chine similar to Aunt's discarded
instrument. Dozens of companies
started making sewing machines
and courts were swamped with
lawsuits and counter -lawsuits in-
volving patents and royalties.
When Hunt finally tried to have
his device patented in 1854, the
court disallowed his claims on the
ground of abandonment.
He died in 1859, without realiz-
ing the wealth that should have
been his is a result of his many
inventions.
BEST ACTOR
The hog -nosed snake is known
for its ability. By flattening its
head and neck and by hissing, it
looks and acts as ferocious as a
cobra. No amount of provoking will
induce this snake to bite but in-
stead if he fails to scare you with
this method, he will resort to play-
ing dear, Rolling over on itis back,
he will remain -lifeless for long -
periods of time. No amount of
handling will produce a sign of
life. He overacts his part though.
If you turn him over on his abdo-
men, he will immediately roll back
over on his hack.

It is a small world. Remember a
few wee!cs ago I was writing about
Easter in England; of the hong,
cross-country tramps our fancily
used to take on Easter. morning. I
spoke of Henny Ryes Lanc as
being a favourite' walk. Even as I
wrote I thought, why bother to
mention the nacres of these small
places, they won't mean anything
to anybody. But then, because it
didn't matter one way or the other,
I let it go, Ant I glad 1 rid: It
brought us a visitor froth the North
Bay vicinity, who originally came
from the same district itt England
as Partner and 1, and it was my'
mention of Henny that made hint
sure of that. He knew that only a
native -horn East Anglian would be
likely to• lcnc,w anything about
Henny Ryes Lane. So you see
what I mean . . . it IS a small
world, isn't it?
Sometimes as I write this column
I think of the poem -"I sis'1 an

some tints last year Bob was living
in a construction camp. One day
the fellows were reading their mail
and one chap started chuckling to

"Oh, inst something in this

"What column?"
"Oh, 1 dunnn-something about
