LNDC STRIAL AND SCIENTIFIC INTEL
LIGENCE.

FAM OF TINE AMERICAN lsSTIUrE.-Ihe most
novel invention not already notced in the Fair now
inst closed was that of Mr. Marie from Paris" for
urcseryipe meats The sstuteness OF the gentleman
in giving only bis family name with no very definite
location prevents our giving any fuller detail Of the
Invention than description of the product. Meats
of various kinds, including pork, beef and muffin,
Coz ked and raw preserved either perfectly fresh,
or only sufficiently sailed for seasoning so as to retain
the natural odor, and presume, the proper haVor,
for any period and in any climate. The whole IL
coated th, ky and tifly with material resembling
dried varn-h and labels attached set forth the dates
when each piece was prepared some dating back into
! 800. The economic value OF the process, and the
extent TO which il NAV ever come into u.e de- ,cnds
much on the degree trouble and expense attending
il. of all Of which We profoundly ignorant.
Mr.. j. Echos's water-power Dali, improved in me-
chanical con .tructoD that by the inventor
last year was brought in Mt late day, and occasion

and stationary boiler and oteam-pump may by TINS
means be- made to de- all the drilling for extensive
operations, the water being allowed to flow buck and

is. Of course, necessarily lost in this operation.
Merwin Davls's OscitatDg Printing Press, possess
ing the same great qualities the last device, those
Of ch.apDess and convenience, in very high degree
aud The work produced is very perfect. No adjusting
OF tapes or sly is necessary in changing from larg.
to small form or the reverse, and correcions d thu
form can b. made when necessary as easily as on
handpresr We consider it for general purposes the
| best job press in the world.
An admirable Book Folding Machine in active
operation foldb the sheets Of Patnam'S Mogatis1.
but we have lost the and location Of the inventor
The sheets are folded with mathematical accuracy and
cut apart with great rnpidiy and smo.'hness and
without rubbing the printed sgIface in The ie lst IL
destined to be used all large binderics A different
machine will be required for each different method OF
folding sheet, however.
We have been present several of the tests ibst-
tuted by tbe varions Committees, but they have oy
failed to give results OF much intene-t. The Steam
