bank Note Engraving.

by the improved mode Of engraving
bank note plates, n fiat piece of steel, Of
the requisite dimensions, is first prepared
and ON it the ougra,cr c"t7 It vign"itc, a
denominations figure, or the grucraI let
tering. Each of these parts is engraved
ON "A separate piece, called a bed piece,
aud an impression is then taken upon a
roll, first softcncd for that purpose, and
then subsequently hardened. These seve-
raj hardened dies are afterwards trans
ferrcd to their appropriate places on the
plate to be- used for printing the notes.
The ground work about the numerical
figures is produced by a machine called n
geometrical lathe. A plan to render
couniercci,ing almost impossible, is to dis
prnsc with dies, and have the entire face
Of the bill engraved on the plate rs a unit
that is, to have the device made up OF
one connected fguers or view, with the
words and UNCONVENTIONAL figures so in
tcrwoven and repeated that no imitation
Of the same could be made with a sufli-
cicnt degree of exactness.

Useful Inventions,

a washing machine, on an unique
plan, has been invented, the clothes beng
placed in a Slated cylinder, made like a
squirrel cage, said cylinder having within
it at each end, an oblique corrugated
board, and when the cylinder %rotates, the
boards cause the clothes to tumble from
II end of the machine to the other, thus
assisting the cleansing. a new printing
press has been brought to public notice.
1t consists in the employment of a rota-
ting and ~reciprocating cylinder, and also
in II peculiar linking device, and fly, which
catches the sheets as they issue from the
press. The machine is simple in its con-
Struction, can be afforded at a low cost
and is not liable to get out of repair.

Artificial stone.

The new artificial stone made by Mr..
Ralsome, the inventor, is formed by mix
ing the fluid SILICA of soda with sand and
other material, varying according to the
required result, and thus forming a kind
of thick paste, moulded readily into any
shape. Exposed for a time to the air,
this gradually hardens by evaporation of
part of the water, and when put into a
kiln, the water is more rapidly and com
pletely given off, the result being a per-
fectly solid mass, the original particles of
sand being now cemented together by q
kind of glass, formed by the silicate of
soda raised to a red heat.

Quality of Peat Gas.

For some time past, gas has been man.
ufactured from peat, in Paris. In mea-
surfing the comparative illuminating pow
ers of coal and peat gas, the result has
been found to be in favor of peat, its
power being three hundred and forty-two,
while that of coal is one hundred. The
manufacture of peat gas is also described
as more simple Than that of coal. The
peat, if put into al iron retort heated to a
low red heat, affords Immediately Il mix
ture of permanent gasses and vapors
which condense into an o~leaginous liquid
which two products separate on cooling
The oil is subject to a new distillation
and resolved wholly into a permanent ga'
and hydrogen very richly carburretted.

Throughout the country there are thousands
of persons who purchase or subscribe for the
leading magazines, at book stores, all of
whom, by joining this Association, will not
only receive their literature for the same
money as before, but will be. in addition,
equal and free participants in a rare art-work
distribution. They also receive that beauti-
full quarterly, the cart Journal" free.
Such an enterprise cannot fail to command
the approval and patronage of the public. It
has a basis as firm and pure as its objects are
beneficial and noble. There is no reason why
it shoaid not become national, in it's claims
upon the people. Originated and conducted
by intelligent, reliable parties, the new Asso-
citation is entitled to every confidence"
trust the Association will be eminently
successful. Its very liberal inducements COM
mend it strongly to the patronage of the pub

The Cosmopolitan Art Association seems
to prove highly successful, as it is beneficial.
The plan on which it is founded is an excel

that by his subscription he secures a fund of

chance in the distribution, which disseminates
and encourages good reading and a taste for
the beautiful and elevating. How can So be
more prOftably expended?

We are not surprised to hear that hundreds
OF subscribers are pouring in daily. Our only
surprise is, that the hundreds do not swell to

ICULTUR
sugar Cane.

The New York Herald says: The
Chinese sugar-cane seed, distributed by
the Patent office last Spring, promises to
be q complete success at the North. A
package Of seed was planted in Bucks CO.,
Pa, latitude 40 - degrees North, and
has arrived at maturity, The maximum
height of the stock wa ten feet, and the
product in grain much greater than any
cereal under cultivation. The stalk is
perfectly green after the seed has reached
maturity, and the sacharine principle is
then fully developed, The juice which is
most abundant, is very saccharinc, quite
as much so ns the variety of canc ~culliva-
ted at the South. Whether the Juice
contains the same amount of chrystaliza-
bic sugar, remains to be tested. Should
it be found equal to ordinary cane in that
respect, n new era in the agriculture of
the North will be inaugurated, and an im-
ture, as soon as the necessary seed can
be obtained, which will require another
year at least. The seed having been
distributed late in the Spring, which was
cold and backward, there is good reason
to believe that much planted did not reach
maturity. Should the plant fail, 50 far as
the manufacture of sugar is concerned,
yet its value as a forage crop cannot be
overestimated at the North. Cattle, hogs
and horses eat the entire stock with avidi-
", and no doubt would fatten rapidly on
it. The seed, which is small, has a thin
black hull which car be taken off, leaving
q fine white flour as the residue. We
have 40 means nj present of estimating
the value of this -four as an article Of food
but no doubt its merits will be fully inves
tigated. The culture required for the
plant is similar 10 that adopted for indian
corn when planted in rows, and the SEED
should be put into the ground about the
same time. As 1t is n quick and strong
growing plant, it should be well MANFRED
In a former number of this paper W,
noticed the receipt of a small quantity o
Molasses, manufactured from cane grown
in our vicinity. From experiments mad,
here, and from the successful issue of tn,
trial in Bucks County, which we Civ,
above, there is no doubt in our mind, tina
the culture of this variety of cane can b,
made a profitable business, and the North
ern States, will, in the opinion of many
in a short time be able to supply a portion
of that article to the consumers at home
We wish the gentlemen who have som
of the seed of this variety of cane, woul,
favor us with a small quantity, as Their,
has been several applications made to Il
for some to plant the coming Spring.

Improvement in Boots 4 shoes

An English mechanic has devised a
new plan for the construction of boots and
shoes. 1t consists in forming the under
sole aud seat of the heel that it may be
easily adjusted in the seat, or be readily
removed, repaired and refted, or a new
one submitted. Where desired, passages
or grooves are formed in the inner top
surface, which communicate with the
atmosphere, and through perfora,ions in
in the inner sole, with the foot, there is
stamped, or otherwise formed from leather
gutta percha, or suitable material for the
undcrsole Of boots and other like articles,
a piece which forms the sole, waist and
seat of the heel. The seat is followed in
the centre, and is formed on the inside
with a sunk plunge or rim for the recep-
ton of the heel. The plan presents de-
cidcd advantages.

Artificial teeth are now made as hard
as the natural. They are formed of
fints or quartz rock, and f~eldspar. Quartz
and feldspar are both very hard sub
stances, but rendered still harder when
mixed or fused together. A given pro-
portion or feldspar and of flint are ground
together, in a mortar or on n slab, to an
almost impalpable powder, and a paste
made of this powder is fashioned into
the general shape which may be desired
for the teeth.

A Thing Every Farmer Should
Know.

If you wish to drive a cut-nail into sea-
soned oak timber, and not have it break
or bend, just have a small quantity of oil
neal by and dip the nail before driving,
and j. will never fail to go. In intending
carts and plows this is Of great advantage
for they are generally made most of oak
wood. In strengthening old nails before
using, lot it be done on wood, and with
easy blows. If done on iron they will he
sure to break.

The farmer is a happy man,
lie raises all he needs, sir,
The foremost stands OF all the van.
An occupations leads. sir.
His cattle Furnish beef enough,
Hi sheep, q heap of wool, sir,
His children hearty and tough,
His Golfers alwaws full, sir.
His barns arc large and we'll filled,
with hay, aud corn, aud rye, sir,
His orchard rich, his land wcil TILED,
Both fruit and food supply sir.
His cellar in the autumn shows,
or roots, a bountcous store, sir,
He's well prepared for winters snows-
What could a man want more, sir?
His hors5s kept in first rate trim,
For wagon, chaise, or sleigh, sir,
Are ready now, to carry him
At any time of day, sir.
His cows are many, and the best
The country can afford, sir,
His butter, cheese, and milk attest,
His barns have been well stored, sir.
His pigs are of the Suffolk sort,
You never hear them squcal, sir,
Because they never are kept short,
But filled with cofn and meal, sir.
His hens are not of Shanghai sort,
He chooses not by size, sir,
An eggs an egg, and when tits bought
AS large a coin supplies, sir.
His turkeys and his geese are fine,
OF both he has a store, sir.
In fact, the farmer has a mine
Richer than golden ore, sir,
His very bees are " busy" too,
And fill his hives with comb, sir,
They have az much as they can do,
To bring his honey home, sir.
Who would not choose the farmers lot I!
What though he has to work, sir,
Much haspiness by toll is got,
But who would like a shirk, sir?
There's land enough for all young men,
Our country is a great one,
just pull up stakes and hasten then,
Where fortunes rich await one.
