Cubic Measure.

Many persons experience no little difficulty
and inconvenience in ascertaining the capac-
ity of boxes, bins, hogsheads, cisterns and
the like, in bushels, gallons, &c. 1t is often
very desirable to ascertain the number Of
bushels of grain there is in a given bin, with
out the trouble of measuring it by the half
bushel; also, to know the capacity of a els
tern or reservoir in gallons. BY remember
ing the following table it will be compara-
lively an easy task to effect any desired
measurement. There are

Surprising bin IS l2 feet long, feet
wide. and 4 feet deep; Multiply the length
in feet BY the breadth and tho product by
the depth and we have 2S8 cubic feet as the
contents Of he bin. Now q cubic foot is
about.8, or eight tenths of bushel and 28S
multiplied by.8 gives 1904 as the capacity
Of the bin IN bushels
The cord is used to measure wood, bark,
&C., and is two cubes measuring feet each
way Joined together, and containing l28 Gu

practice we often find in cord of wood ex-

The most effsotuai method Of Fobblng !
Banks has been devised by my COMPETE
tors, who for the last twelve years have
individually and collectively, as best suited
their convenience, availed themselves Of
every and any means to injure the reputa-
tion Of my Locks and Safes. From my
agent In Cleveland, and also by an article
in Cleveland paper over the signature Of
James Sargent, learn that they have ct
last, in their opinion, accomplished their
object, having succeeded in opening one
Of my old locks. For the twelve years my
locks have been in use, there has never
been one dollar lost from their inefiOienoy
as against the piok-lOck, and to their eff
cheney am indebted for large patronage.
II my look is unsafe, the large number of
Bank and other Safes of my manufacture
ere nearly worthless, as there is no other
lock adapted to them, and none Of the locks
offered by my competitors to the public are
two years in use, and consequently have
not been tested as q protection or security.
For the patronage SO generously bestowed
upon me in the years past, shall not be
ungrateful and will now stand by my pa
irons, and as far ss possible thWsrt the
/ endeavors Of my competitors to sWindle
them of money sufficient to purohasea Yale
or any other lock, which when applied to
my safes or others does not furnish equal
security with the lock reported to have
been opened or picked in four hours. l
fully understand the operation and the
motive, and assure my patrons that 1 am
prepared to meet it. Ihave improved my
lock to meet all saoh emergencies, and will
furnish my asp looks TO all Banks and
Bankers who have either my old straight
barrel or cOnical barrel lock, for their pre-
sent look, and less than one half the price
of any Of the bank locks offered by my
competitors. My new lock can be placed
on all the safes Of my manufacture, the
barrel being cOnical as heretofore. vii
make the following standing oner lor th'
benefit Of my competitors:
will furnish my new lock placed on one
Of my safes and send it to any city and
give my competitors liberal time for op
ersting upon it, and viii put up any sun
Of money they may choose to risk, from
$500 1--we hundred to $4,000 (hve thou

Mr.. W. W. Winchester is in this city for
the purpose Of introducing his improved
Lava Tip Gas Burners. We have examined
them, and are perfectly satisfied that they
are the most durable burners that are now
made. It is well known amongst Gas con-
sumers that iron or steel banners, after
having been in use for any length of time
become fOuled and rusted, and invariably
either become choked up 80 ss to give q
poor light or else the orifOs is rusted or
burned 50 much larger as to cause a WR.sss
Of gas. To remedy these difficulties, the
Lava Tip Burner was invented.
At the request Of the City Council, Mr..
Winchester placed some Of his lava-tEpped
burners in the hands Of Professors Br ain
ard and Cassels, for the purpose Of haYing
them tested by acid and heat They we're
most thoroughly expsrimentsd on, and the
resnlE is contained in the accompanying
certificates below.
It is elsimed that these burners will save
from twenty-five to thirty-hve per cent. Of
gas, owing to an arrangement they are
provided with by which only as much gas
can pass through as is perfectly consumed.
!. This burner has been adopted on account
Of it's economy and durability by the City
Council, for the purpose of being placed en-
the City lamp posts also they have been
adopted in the LEADER Office, where some
sixty burners are used, and in the Post
Once.
Those wishing to examine this burner
can do 50 BY calling at either Of those
pisces. The agent, Mr.. Winchester, can be
found at Stars News Depot, on Superior
street, next to saekriders.
