Gumming Stamps by Machine.

An apparatus for affixing stamps on envelopes is the invention of an Australian. The stamp receiver is supported by a pair of pivoted arms, while another pair of arias carry'a damping roller. By pressing a handle the stamps within the holder are forced by a plunger upon the envelope, the stamps being at tfie same moment moistened by the damping roller. Be deaf to the quarrelsome, blind to the scorner, and dumb to • those who are mischievously inquisitive.
