AIR AND SUBMARINE NAVIGATION.

GRAFTON two new aad novel plans of .4u and Sub
Marine NnigaiiOR Afler years of neessant aPplH
cation and study, have succeeded IA bringing them
10 a state Of perfection, and ask of you fair con
federation aud opinion of their merits. The one Is
for navigating the air by means OF balloon, so con-
Ftrueted that il be managed 10 move with ye-
lociry of so GO miles per hour IN any given direc'
ZION whether il be the Atlantic, traverse
the entire length of our great and wide spread
country from the Aroostook 10 the Rio Grande.
Connected with this machine have attached bat
tery, from which can discharge, from any height
with grCOlcst precision sad accuracy, from one
10 ten thousand one-ounce balls Ia minute. With
n machine like thls properly nanaged, the necessity
OF sending troops TO Texas would have been obI-
uted-one Of these batteries placed in the bsloos,
managed by single individual, being sufkceiit TO
defeat and extermnate the largest army.
The other is machine with which can move
with under waterE at the rate Of eight or ten
miles per hour without being compelled TO come
TO the surface for air; the machine being SO con-
structed as TO generate air sufficient for the person
within il. Connected with this | have a torpedo,
with which | can approach (under water) a hostile
fleet, and sink or blow up the same IN thiuy min

Believing that these machines would be Of the
greatest utility to the United States have refraned

time should arrive when their merits would be duly
appreciated. That time has now arriyedi the "back

ours, the utility of these machines must be obvious

one or both Of these machines and, while reaping
a rich reward for themselves, become a nations

in this city, respectfully announce to their friends
and the public that they have concluded to keep
their Washington Office open during the entire year
in future, at their present location on Pennsy lvana
avenue, near Tenth street, where one or both of the
partners may always be found in attendance They
respectfully tender their professional services to their
friends and the public, and invite all who may re-
quire the advice and skill Of the experienced and
practical dentist to call them, learn their terms
and examine their claims to public confidence and
patronage. They would particularly call attention
to their patent method Of fastening artificial teeth
when set gold plate which is used by them alone
in the city Of Washington. The most prominen,
advantages are the following
LIST. II saves the pain attendant upon the removal
Of the roots Of the front teeth when healthy con-
di,ion, and makes those roots highly useful in fast
ching the artificial teeth.
cd. IL gives the teeth greater frmness, rendering
them always much less troublesome and more use
full in the process Of mastication than the common
mode.
Sd. 1t rcnders it easy to remove and replace the
teeth, which, together with the peculiar simplicity
of the fastenings, enable the keep them al
ways clean.
The great improvement secured by this patent
needs but to be seen in order to be understood and
used to be appreciated II is universally commend
ed by those who have ava,ed themselves of its adj
vanages.
