application Of his invention may be superior to the
thods in for the purpose is uncertain In
the minds Of sailors there is always objection TO fix
lures above deck which would be likely to impede their
general introduction.

Two bell teegraphs, exhibited in the central avenue,
very deservedy attract much attention The bell tse
graph otherwise called annuncator,n Is inven-
ton made to supersede the awkward array of bells in
houses and hotels 1t Is an extremely neat and beauti-
full article and indicates whence the bell rung by
uncovering number corresponding to the number Of
the roomand this too for any length of time after
wards. uI ill., by the touch Of spring, the number
IL covered In the large hotels in the United States
and in many private residences, 1t is much used.
In the moving machinery department, among other
objects of interest from the United States machine
called stone dressing machine. machine fer DRESS
ing stone by power has long been regarded great
desderaum and has been the object of many expensive
though unsuccessful experiments. One great difficulty
has been found in making the cutting tools of quality
TO stand the action OF tone unless at such cost as to
render their Improbable This dificulty Is
come by the invention before US, which consists
in the employment of chilled cast-iron burrs,
rolling cutters. Iron is known, may
by peculiar process of chilling in casting, be
verted to diamond hardness that perfectly fits II for
reducing, with great facility and economy the surface
Of stone. The burrs made in this way retain sufi-
cient degree of sharpness for long time and be
maintained at small cost being Who'll y formed and
finished in casting In dressing circular forms the
made to revolve when the burrs which mounted
in sliding rests, brought into action For straight
surfaces however the stones laid upon transverse
b.d. and the cutters mounted upon revolving cylinder
placed above them The burrs cutters
ranged to turn freely on their axis when brought in
contact with the stone and they roll IL they
crush away in the form Of scales and dust BY
ing the shape and arrangement OF the burrs ornamental
surfaces may be produt ed.
Among the agricultural implements exhibited which
claim the attention of agriculturists particularly,
respng machines. ploughs, cultivators fan mills and
smut machines The American reapers are worked by
single span of horses abreast with driver and to

On land free from distractions these respers will cut

binders who follow after the machine and the grain cut
quite clean by any other method either BY the sickle

States in 1850 Another reaper is also in general and
operates remarkably well These implements will enable
the farmer to gather his crop in very short time

The poughs exhibited are Of various sizes and adapted
TO various purposes from small one horse plough 10

with entire ease by single span of medium-sired
horses. Among the poughs exhibited Is one upon new
