A VALUABLE MISUNDERSTANDING the
articles on exhibition at the State Fair, a
new invention, to supercedethe usual chain
used in surveying, BY VIM. II. Paine, Esq,
Of Sheboygan, attracted our attention.
It consists Of a steel measure, which coils
up like a tape measure, but IS SO tempered
a. to be perfectly staight when uncoiled.
The Whole weisht Of the instrument does
not exceed three pounds.
A thermometer il attached to it, and the
measure can always be the same length, no
matter what is the temperature.
Mr. Paine's invention was examined at
the General Land Office, in Washington,
last spring, and pronounced the most per-
feet measure eyer invented; and a number
ofthem were ordered for the Department.
/ The matter is worthy Of the attention Of
surveyors generally Hts. Journal.

sured, can be obtained between La Crosse
