IRRESISTIBLE Bit FOR REFRAcTORY HoRsEs.-
Messrs. VIM. ID. Titus and II. w. Fenwick of Brook
Ign are the inventors and patenteos Of contrvance
for stopping the breath and thus "tbrashing the
" steam of a runaway, which seems TO be great
and very desirable Improvement in certain hard cases,
while il will not be an expensive or cumbrous addi-
ton TO ordinary harness for general purposes.
Stopping the breath has been sufficiently proved by
experiment 10 be sure ard very rapid means of ar
resting the progress Of en- animals but instead Of
tightening cord around the neck, as invented by
somebody a few years ago, these gentlemen simply
cover the nosrs with pads Of leather The bit itself
little longer than usual and carries at each side
slender metallic lever with pad. Suitable coll
springs hold these levers away from the nose in which
position they of particular service, being th
for convenience and ornament about on par with the
lii gs in the of pigs i'll the ears of boarding
school misses. There are two methods proposed for
operating these levers and pressing the pads upon the
nostrils by employing separate rein, the other
by attaching the mary reins to the lever in such
mann cr that they viii move them when pulled with
geat violence. The first method is undoubtedly the
Of the weakening of he springs or the like, but the
second is less troublesome to the driver, and will we
presume be generally preferred When arranged ac-
cordng TO the second method the springs must be suf
fcenty stiff to allow Of the reins being held at the
usual tension without affecting them, and the horse is
guided without recognizing their existence brh the
moment the animal commences TO "cut up his didos'
the pull is increased and his breath and speed instant
ly stopped.
JoNEss TYPoGRAPHER.-The "Typogrspher" is
ingenious little machine for printing letter at
tine instead of writing it, The result of its labors is
the production of neatly printed instead of written
sheet of manuscript and the operation may be con-
dsoted more rapidly than most people can write. In
the exhibition which We witnessed, the printing or
topographic" was conducted, under quite disad-
vsntsgeous circumstances at the rate oc sixty letters
per mnute-the print being neat and perfect even 10
the correct spacing OF the letters The machine is en-
trely automatic in hiking, feeding ahead the paper,
&c. and ii only toy for the instruction Of chill
dren and youth is deserving of very extensive sale.
The types are not movable or rather are not mutually
eXChaI gesble, but ranged around a horizontal
wheel of about twelve inches diameter, and by turning
which by light lever attached any letter desired
may be brought into position for use. The impression
Is given by pressing down on the same lever, which
moves the whole wheel axially downward. The paper
is mounted on a small cy Under beneath and very sd
mirabe means provided for regulating the extent
Of tie feed also for nsurins the correct position Of
he wheel il s pressed downward so that little or
in fact, no skill is required for its npulaon-prac
tee only insurng more rapid movement The in
venton IS credited to the not very uncommon Of
John Jones and Is owned by c. w. johnson, Esq, Of
Hartford, Conn.,
