Scientific American - Inventions

About a month ago we went to the St. Augustine flea market and I found this old newspaper called the Scientific American dated April 7, 1888. I thought 'how cool is that, there's got to be something of interest in there.'


Sure enough I found a list of inventions along with the patent holders.
