A CLOSET DEODORISER. We illustrate a little apparatus for nse in water-closetcisterns. The object of the apparatus is to leave a portion ofthe deodoriser in the pan eveiy time it is flashed, and thusdecompose and render innocuous any sewer-gss which may. ^^11 \ rise up the waste pipe. The modus operandi ia to place aquarter or half an ounce of permanganate of potash in thevessel, which is then placed in any unoccupied corner of thecloset cistern, so as to he under water when the cistern is full. The theory is that every time the closet cistern is emptied a por-tion of the deodoriser comes downX, with the final rush of water ; thati is therefore not immediately\ washed away down the drain, but,; remains in the pan performing its\ sanitary duties nntil flushed away with the next emptying of the cis-tern. It is considered that onecharge of the permanganate ofsoda will last a month or more,according to the frequency of useof the closet, and that thus a fewpence will cover the cost for a wholeyear. Assuming that the arrange-ment works all right, a good deal might by its means beeffected in keeping in good condition. The ap-paratus is sold at the moderate price of , Messrs. Under-wo
