Henry Castle and Sons, the well-known Admiralty ship- breakers of Millbank, S.W., have forwarded for our report the above improvement, which de­ serves more than passing notice. It is a design for out-door seats and chairs, and we have no hesi­ tation in saying that for elegance, comfort, and durability, it is the best thing of the kind that we have seen. These seats are made of the seasoned teak timber, taken from old navy ships which Messrs. Castle have broken up, and, the frames being of wrought iron and galvanised, they are as nearly as may* be impervious to the effect of sun or rain. They can be fitted with patent folding cover-seats and footboards, which protect the seats from rain and the feet from damp. We recom­ mend those who are in want of seats for their gardens and grounds to give them a trial. The prices are about the same as those of other makers.” THE"FMORITE: 4- E - SEAT.- THE '-SUPERS 5 FTSEAT. Send for Price List and Illustrated Sheet to the Patentees and Manufacturers, H.

The Late Sir E r a s m u s W il s o n wrote:—“ All closely-woven fabrics, such as the ordinary under­ vests, whether thick or thin as gauze, worn next the skin in warm weather, become saturated with moisture, and thus form an impermeable and air-tight covering, preventing that free transpira­ tion of the skin so necessary to comfort, and even to life.” J. M a c d o n a l d R o g e r s , Esq., R .N ., Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, writes— The ‘ Net of Health ’ vest manufactured by Struthers & Co. appears to me to combine all that the most ardent hygienic reformer can desire. It is the only undervest I have seen which admits of free res­ piration, and yet is as warm as many of the un­ healthy closely woven garments usually worn, and being perfectly absorbent it is the most comfort­ able garment I know of to take exercise in.” Pure UNSHRINKABLE Wool, 4 /6 ; 3 for 13/- Carriage Paid to anypart of the UnitedKingdom.
