Objectionable and ooy submitted to from impeTious

as. favor from the jocseyiDg professon-one expert
enced stage driver enthusiastically affirming that it
would Immediately increase the va ne of horses one
third By the census Of 1850 there five millions
Of horses ia the United States, and assuming them TO
be worth on an average about SEQ apiece the credit
10 which tho inventor is entitled becomes measurable
in dollars TO the tune OF about 100 millions for each
generation Of horses Mr.. Short is not the first who
has attempted to clamp the shoe 10 the foot without
nails but is the first to do i, this simple and effective
manner He makes the whole in two pieces, employ
ing. in addition, two small screws 10 aid in screwiog
the pats together Both are made Of maleable iron
tie lower portion or sole being very similar to the
horseshoe ordinarily employed, bu: with groove
around It's exterior and without Dsihoes The upper
portion or vamp," is thin, and has flange pro-
ieetine inward from its lower edge, TO match the
groove in the sole These parts arranged a. TO
secure tight and firm connection, and the whole is
made additionally secure By the aid Of the setscrers
before mentioned at the heel. A shoe of this kind
once fitted, the vsmp may be made to wear out n
great number of soes. The exterior may be highly
finished and plated with silver, which gives very
fashy appearance to o team of lively horses or the
shoes may be enameed jet black when intended for
white or gray animals. One practical advantage 70
be derived from this style Of shoes is the facility with
which they may be removed or exchanged, so thai
skful bos,ler may exchange the ,boes, rather the
soles on every occasion when the presence OF ice or
the Ike renders il desirable and i! may even be ex-
pedient in extreme cases of exhaustion, a. with race
horses to remove tie shoes altogether for time, and
allow Of more refre. hing rest.
NEW ROrARY PUMP.-Mr. stephen ID. Carpenter,
editor Of Tic Wisconsin Patriot, is the inventor of
very simple rotary pump, the manufacture OF which
has been commenced at Milwaukee, and full-szcd
specimen of which is now on exhibition at the West
erD Hotel in this City, We assured that the foru-
nate inventor has already realized from 100000 to
eco 00O from the sale Of rights, and the pump certain
ly commands attention from the simplicity and at tho
same time sipgularity of its motions the fewness Of
its parts its small cost of construction, its economy Of
space and evident durability. The whole pump con-
siss OF metallic case, in which is incosed vertical
shaft with nearly hemsphercal Of metal at its
lower extremity and vibrating or oscIa,ing feather.
When impeled by continuous power, as in filling
up tanks at railroad stations, the shaft may be safely
driv en- 18th considerable velocity, and the pump may
be considered toerably perfect without the aid OF any
packing 1t is questionable whether the rotary motion
is easier than the reciprocating for pumps worked by
hand but where power is employed for the raising OF
considerable quantities, the invention of this pump
renders it unnecessary and highly impolitic to con-
vert the rotary motion OF the shaft into any kind of
reciprocatirg action. The pump for general pur-
poses il manufactured entirely of cast iron. The
lower portion of the is spherical and is closely
fitted by the spherical side of casting at the foot OF
the shaft which shaft i'll this case is assumed TO he
vertical. This casting il nearly hemisphere, the
top being somewhat concal instead of hat-the gen.
era form OF The casting approximating to that OF
boys spinningtop inverted. Imagine this nearly
beisphercal mass sawed nearly in two by vertical
cut commencing at the apex and insert IN the open
ing thus made a semi uar disk Of metal, straight
side uppermost. This disk will represent the feather
alluded to- Lay fiat cover upon the point of the
cone and incline il until it bears fair UPON the inclined
surface of the cone This cover will represent the fat
side Of the nearly spherical case, and rude model of
Carpenters pump will be the result. On revolving
Al b..,I Of aH
wsrd from the point of the conc and passing out OBJ
Quely through stufing box in the fat side OF the
case the feather will oscste 80 as slwsys to bear
with ts straight edge against the fiat aide of the
screw at the base allows of driving up the whole
shaft and with il the sector of sphere described TO
compensate for any wear of its upper surfaces and
as this driving upward of the interior work would in
crease tbcspsce below end make leak at that point,
provision is made for preventing this by very sim
pie modification Of the form Of the parts, which in
tight joint at the largest part Of the pump il
all cases and to prevent ,ny flow Of water through
the slot in which the feather acts the slot split j,
not made continuously across, but is interrupted in
the middle ~ solid partition, and triangular por
ton is cut from the feather to CORRESPOND thereto ar
allow fits free vibrating motion There are few in
ventions simple than this, and certainly very
few which promise TO come more rapidly into extern
siye use.
