Question on 19th century cartoon

This image comes from a 1881 magazine called Eccentric and published by the Stevens institute of Technology in New Jersey

Given its printed by a technology school I presume these 'Gods' are technology, going from right to left a French German dictionary?, firearm, T-square and compass, lighthouse?, now next to that is a what ? A syringe??, a piece of chemical glassware, a roll of paper that says 'marks for being two mins. late', and a bottle of Seltzer.

Can anyone offer up what this cartoon might mean other than just being whimsical? Any idea what the one thingy is a syringe or pastry icing thingy?

Thanks
