Crazy Invention

Brining the Dead Back to Life
Inventor: ; William H. White

With this wonderful invention you need never again lie awake at night in fear of being buried alive. All too frequently perfectly healthy people are buried alive just because they overslept for a day or two. Now, if this should happen to you, you don't have to die a lonely, confused death six foot under. In the words of the inventor, 'The object of my invention is to provide a means whereby the supposed cadaver (buried before life is extinct) on regaining animation may sound an alarm through the annunciator located at the superintendent's office or other suitable place, by which a signal of life may be imparted and also immediate rescue rendered to the recuperating body by means of fresh air until the said body is disinterred and medical aid summoned.'

Combined Bird Trap and Cat Feeder

Inventor:  ;; Leo O. Voelker
Too lazy to feed the cat? Here is the perfect solution which will provide your cat with all the food it needs and at the same time depopulate your whole neighbourhood of those pesky robins, wrens and sparrows. The device works by enticing little song birds into a welcoming, homely, birdhouse. Once inside they step onto the pivoted stand and are ejected down the shoot into the lower section where they remain trapped until puss is ready for his lunch. You will  never need to open a can of cat food again in your life.
