Ingenious burglar trap based on floor jaws proposed by English inventor

An English inventor William Norreye of Horley Surrey outlines a floor trap designed to drop a robber into a spring mattress pit when he approaches a bank counter. The device activates by a lever at the cashier's hand, hydraulically releasing bolts to open a concealed pit, forcing the thief to land safely on a mattress. The concept aims to deter burglars without lethal force, appealing to the wealthy and insurers worried about powerful criminals.

Chinese Hatchery Method Plants Fish Eggs in Shells

In an ancient Chinese practice, fish eggs are collected from surface fish, placed into emptied eggshells, sealed with cotton, and incubated in water heated by the sun. After several days, fry hatch and are kept in fresh water for distribution to aquaria and streams. The method mirrors long standing Chinese techniques for incubating eggs of hens, reptiles, and other animals.
