NEwMAcnIsE. l have been exam
ming new machine for sewing, which
has recently been invented and con-
structed by an ingenious Mechanic OF
Cambridge So far as am informed on
the subject, this is the first attempt 70
construct n machine of the kind, and It
appears to me To be an emlnently sue
cessful one. The machine is very com
pact not occupying a space Of more
than about six inches each way. 1t
runs with so much ease, that should
suppose one person might easily opo-
rate twenty or thirty of them, and the
work is done in a most thorough man
ner. Both sides of the seam look alike,
appearing to be beautifully stitched
and the seam Is closer and more unl.
form than when sewed by hand. II
will sew straight or curved seams with
equal facility, and so rapidly that It
takes but two minutes to sew the whole
length Of the outside seam OF pair Of
mems pantaloons. 1t sets 400 suches
minute with perfect ease, and the
proprietor thinks there Is no difficulty
IN setting 700 IN minute. The thread
is less worn by this process than by
hand sewing, and consequently retains
more Of It's strength.

A Crazy FARMER.-Among other
places which we visited during n ram

the magnificent Asylum for the Insane
ut Worcester. 1t is still under the su-

the most enlightened and benevolent

Jects. One of the best means he finds
for this purpose, is, to employ the
males on the farm attached to the hos
pital. As an evidence of the safety OF
this method, he has repeatedly trusted
| four homlcidcs TO work together in tho
same field, with axes or scytheS in
their hands, and the slightest accident
or i'll temper. or disposition to do harm
has never been manifested by them
The farm is of considerable extent, and
is almost entirely cultivated by the in.
mates of the Asylum.
Among his patients, DIR. w. had one
who became exceedingly ambitious oi
farming upon his own hook. At length
the Doctor good humordly yielded tc
his opportunities, and gave him pos
session of field in the rear of the hos
pltal, on which TO expend his eccen

the sides ofthcse he constructed littl,
ponds into which he drained the wa

the water closets, let it stand and wei

NUMBER FOURTEEN.
Yours truly,
WASHINGTON. ia

WAsHINGToN, JAM 15 1916.
Dear Sir In the bill which passed the
Senate making appropriations for building steam
ers a clause was inserted causing them to be built
by contract, and Of iron, if deemed necessary This
clause at the FIRST blush would look little sinou
lar, as we find the Government has seven building
Yards, and two Dry Docks completed-but
strange, yet true as strange, not one of these
Yards have machinery which would enable the
Government to repair, much less build, such
steam vessels as this bill calls for The bar at
the mouth of the Anacostia, on the banks of which
is situated the Washington Navy Yard, is too
shoal to admit steamer armed complete of 100
or 1000 tons bsrthen--the Yard is deficient in
steam hammer and foundry. The Norfolk and
other Yards, although the objections are removed,
so far as regards the depth of water on their bars
in all there exists total want of machinery
adequate for the purpose-why is this Steam
ships have been built for the Navy, and those who
have been placed by lao at the head of the De-
partmeDts having control of the Yards since the
building of the first steam ship Fulton, to the
last, the Princeton, are either very neglgeo. or
ignorant Of the Importance of machinery. 1t
would not be too much TO say, at least, in regard
to machinery-that the legal props Of the Navy
Department, upon which the Secretaries of The
Navy have leaned have proved broken reeds. I
must close as a slight indispositon compels Iue
Weather delightful.

CHRIST HEALING THE SICK

This Painting, the said to be, browning glory
of the gifted American artist, Benjamin West,
who was the favorite of princes. was the darling
conception of his life, and is to be exhibited for
few days in this town, in the Methodist Episcopal
Church 1t has charmed the attention of thou
sands, whenever it has been exhibited, and we
have no doubt will he viewed with pleasure by
our citizens. The vastness of the picture, and
the multitude of figures strikes the visiter, at
first, with the idea of suddenly entering mixed
multitude, and it takes some time to become easy,
and distinguish the different personages in detail.
As the eye becomes famiarized TO the scene, the
different characters assume peculiar identity,
which demands special examination. This paint
ing does not give us exalted idea of the genius
and power of West, such as we had clothed him
with. There is not jews face on the whole
canvass and the High Priest Caiaphas, looks like
bilious, old Roman soldier; but we shall re-
serve further criticism to another period. AS a
work of art it deserves examination
