IMPROVEMENT IN WooDSAws.-It appears
that even this "ancent and honorable" nipple
ment is capable of improvement. A MIR. Tut
TIE, saws the Scientific American, has invented
a new arrangement of the teeth:
Two flcaine teeth are made at the usual dis
lance apart, with their points set opposite, TO
two fine rip grooves, and then, behind two such
teeth, there is one set straight, which shaves
out the wood between the two rip grooves. This
is the way the teeth are arranged along the
whole length of the blade. This saw has been
fairly and fully tried along with others of the
common construction, and it has been stated
that one man can do as much work with it in
the same time as two men with the old kind.

New MODE OF TANSlNG LEArHER.-Henry
w. Ellsworth, Esq, says the Lafayette Journal
has shown US several specimens Of leather tan.
ned, under his own eyes, in the space of ten mi
nuies, by process of which Marmon Hubbard
of Rochester, New York, is the inventor This
statement may seem almost incredible, when il
is considered that SIX, eight and ten months arc
required TO tan leather by the ordinary process
Mr.. Ellsworth has in his possession pair O.
boots and pair Of shoes made from a raw hide
i, less than day and half, tanned by com
pound of chemicals, and, in time and materials
is saving of at least five thousand per cent
over the present slow method ofmakng leather
The right says the Journal, for Connecticut ant
Massachusetts sold for $780, 900, Ohio, fo
$l59,OO0, Michigan for 100000. This, un
doubtedIy, is one ofthe greatest improvements
of the present age.
