Then when you are prepared for the wonders these shears have to show, you
find that on one handle is a hammer-head, and that they can be used as a
hammer. Close to the hammer-head a screw-driver is arranged. At the point
of the shears is an awl for boring holes; and, most practical of all, the
scissors when they are opened out form a perfect carpenter's square.
This wonderful tool was invented by Benjamin Ford, of Newcastle, Maine.
Any boy who has such a pair of shears, and a paper of screws in his
pocket, can build and make to his heart's content, and the happy mother
who has this tool on her work-table is done forever with breaking her back
over the tool-chest, to find some particularly elusive screw-driver or
gimlet.

_Photographs in relief._
A new plan in regard to photographs has been invented.
[Illustration]
It is to take a photograph, similar to the one that is to be embossed,
and, after cutting it in a certain way, press the portions outward that it
is desired shall stand in relief.
An open mask of the same shape as the photograph is then used, and the two
photographs are dampened and pressed tightly together until the face and
figure stand out from the card, and the picture looks as if it had been
carved in wood.
This is a very ingenious invention, but the work is very difficult, and
can only be done by people who are regularly trained to do it.
