Louis Wain Fact #6:
He had at least three patents, a “Steady Cycle” in 1894, a “New Attachment to Bicycles” in 1895, and “Rangefinder” in 1915, and had invested in the inventor of a ‘near everlasting lamp’ in America. These were unfortunately later abandoned, and all further details have been lost.

And the branches are rustling a murmurous rune,
The Owls sit in council, like prophets of Fate,
Discussing grave questions of Kingdom and State.
They wink and they blink, and they blink and they wink,
Till midnight grows black and commands them to flit
With a “Shoo! To-whoo!” and a “Whirr! Tu-whit!”
