A NEW FLAX MACHINE.

To Ne Editor Of The " y. TribsnS
SIR: In your paper Of Thursday last appears no.
tee of the proceedings of the American Institute
Farmers Club at viii h Prof. Mapes is reported to
have said I" Fifty thousand tuDs Of flax straw Is
"wasted in Ohio where il is grown and threshed for
seed A. II. Carryl has invented a machine which
docs not cost over $780, by which he can make 500
pounds of lint per tun worth $40 The Fall River
" Flax Company can use up all that is grown. There
els great demand for these machines for making
clint OF tangled fax straw. II would be invaluable
Ito the paper-makers."
Had the above appeared as an advertisement put
fpg A. H. Canyl's machine, no notice would have
been taken of it by me; but when such statements
are put forward facts by learned professor some
correction is necessary. | presume the machine re.
ferred TO is the that IL illustrated and described
in The Scientific American of Aug. &C. will pass
over the 500 ID per story and the value OF INIT sl4o
or at the of $500 per un, both OF which are such
gross congregations not TO misead any one who has
a know ledge of the business A. II. Carryls machine
NAV make tow Of tangled fax straw, and be invau-
able 10 the paper max ers but II will produce
fax suitable for the wants OF the Fall River Flax Co.
A single glance at the machine, by any one CONVEX
sant with fax dressing and spinning, will convince
them of the fact. i wonder where Prof Mspes has
learned that the Fall River Flax Co. could msnutac-
ture p 500 tuDs of flax per annum he must certainly
have been imposed upon by some one. If be had
said 200 or 500 tuns he would have been pretty
near the truth There is not factory in Great Britain
num- and some Of them contain about three times the
number of spindles there is at Fall River. trust
in future Prof Mapes will pay little more attention
10 facts. Yours respectfully,
6EO. ANDERSON.

PHENOMENA OF July, 1854, &c.-The month of
July 1854 has been remarkable for the intensity and
Duration of heat for the frequency of thunder storms
he abundance of Arctic ice voyaging toward the
Equator, and for the prevalence of the cholera.
On twenty seven days of the thirtyone days OF the
Month thunder storms active within the field OF
0rr research the only days in that month exempt
BON thunder storms were the first, third twelfth and
fourteenth. Tbirtyseven persons were Killed by
Mhtning during the twentyseven days on which
thunder storms were active of that month.
On the morning of July the mountains east OF
Burlington VT. were covered with snow, and in less
han sxty hours after the heat to 1909 in the shade
amy place of observation.
Ieeberes swarmed upon the ocean ia July, between
ne parallels of 40 and 4so north latitude, and +5o
and $40 west longitude, being met with by vessels
crossing the Atlantic, TO and from Europe ON sixteen
days Of the thirty. one days of that month.
There were eleven days in July that the Harshsuna
temperature ranged from 900 TO 1902 and eleven days
from $50 to $50 Thus il will be that neither the
hunder storms nor the icebergs nor the solar eclipse
IN May cooled the atmosphere; and that the cholera
prevailed to an alarming extent notwithstanding
here we're but four daySin the month reported free
nom lightning.
Although thunder storms have been so very fire.
geen' the present year yet no accounts are TO De met
with Of death by lightning in building or vessel FUR
nished with metallic conductors, or IN steamboat
non house iron vessel, in railroad car, or III
warehouse in which iron stored, and yet this posi-
i've testimony Of absolute exemption the present year.
and OF all past years is not sufficient 20 induce many
persons TO raise the metallic protector on their dwell
ngs, 10 guard their own lives or the lives OF those
who are near and dear 30 them. The best lightning
rod ~ one single piece be purchased for less than
sangle dollar, and any person OF ordinary capacty
