The first flush toilet was invented by Tomas Crapper in 1884. It was
             first presented in a large Health Exhibition in London. The items that
             were used in the original flush-test were four tests that consisted of 3
             wads of paper, a sponge, 4 greased paper sheets and 10 apples. As these
             items were tossed in one after the other, the crowd was surprised by this
             great break- through in toilet efficiency.
             No, Mr. Crapper did not invent the toilet, he was the first to make a
             practical and efficient system to rid someone of waste. There were many
             prior toilet designs and types used. Some of these consisted of the
             compost toilet (which consisted of using heat to evaporate sewage and out a
             pipe), an oil-flushed toilet (this used recyclable mineral oil, but was
             not-efficient enough), the bioelectric toilet (which used heat and
             circulating air to clean waste), incinerating toilet (these reduced waste
             to ash), biological toilets (which used enzymes to dissolve waste), and
             finally the earth closet (a pit like well that sealed the waste in soil
             All of these methods created were all inefficient in some way. Whether
             is was the smell, the inability to get rid of the waste, the slowness, or
             the tremendous energy put into it for every bow- movement. The basic
             mechanism was very simple--it was made of a float, a metal arm and a
             siphonic action to empty the reservoir of water.
             In the beginning of this method was not popular and the flush toilet
             was given the name "Valveless Water Waste Prevented". The slogan used to
             sell this product was "Certain Flush with easy Pull. Will Flush when only
             Two-Thirds Full". Today, every toilet (or similar flushing thing) is based
             This invention defiantly changed the world and made it a MUCH more
             sanitary place! This breakthrough has unarguably saved thousands of lives
