Japanese Pocket Stoves.

The Japanese have invented a llttlat stove that you can carry round in yours pocket. It is in the form of a small} brazier, shaped rather like a cigarj case, and the fuel Is a sausage-llke relit that will burn for three hours without*,; emitting smoke or fumes, Que of these* little contrivances carried inside the} bosom of a kimono prevents a Journeyi in a railway train from being toot chilly. Delicate pupils keep one tat their clothes while at school In winter, and so equipped sit comfortably in a* ■animated room. The aged and the cold-footed sleep with the stove aft their feet. It Is also like a hot waterbottle to soothe the pains of cramp an* i colic. —Scientific American.
