Where did Alexander cumming invent the flush toilet?

He was awarded the first patent for the flushing toilet (or valve closet) in 1775. This new toilet was an improvement of Sir John Harrington's water closet, which was invented in 1596 and used by Queen Elizabeth I. The water closet was able to flush, but did not have a water trap. Cummings' toilet allowed some water to stay in the bowl after flushing because of the "S trap," a sliding valve between the bowl and trap. This excess water kept the house from smelling like sewage and helped to clean the bowl after use. Many other inventors followed Cummings and contributed their ideas to what is now the modern day toilet.

How do you adjust the water level in the bowl of a water closet?

If you are talking about a low water level, this usually can be adjusted by insuring the fill line from the ball-cock (fill valve) is not clogged. This runs water into the overflow tube inside your tank and insures there is enough water in the bowl to create a seal and prevent sewer gas from comming up through the water closet. If you want less water in the bowl, this is usually regulated by the manufacturer of the water closet by the height of the "S Trap" molded into the bowl.

Should there be water in the stink pipe?

stink pipe? any fixture connected to any drain line in your home should be sealed off from any sewer smell from a trap, and yes if you have a trap it should have water in it. If its a floor drain that isn't used much I recommend you pour a little bit of vegetable oil down it after you pour water and that seems to correct a trap going dry for a long time.
