Faomthe Washington Daily Chronicle Of May II
ANTI. Friction JOURNAL Box-The a.
farming increase Of accidents in factories
on steamships. on railroad cars, and, IN
fact in all the varied pursuits in which
extensive machinery is used, renders an
invention that will remedy these defects
one, Of the greatest blessings Of the age.
We are led to these remarks by witness
ing what is called an anti-friction adjust.
able journal box, patented by DeweyK Hic-
kok, from Morrisville. Vermont, on the
9th Of April, 1866, and now on exhibit
ton at the Patent Office in this city,where
he will remain for a few days. This box
can readily be applied to railroad trucks,
wagon wheels, the hundred pieces of ma
chinery used in factories, and, indeed. to
any sort of continuance that runs on wheels.
The box is circular in form. and composed
of two parts. In the inner part of the
outer circle is a circular band enclosing a
series Of barrel.shaped rollers SO arranged
as to adjust themselves closely to any axle
that may be placed within them, and
there held firmly. This inner box re-
wolves on the outer receptacle in grooves,
while the axle itself remains securely in
ito position. 1t will thus be readily seen
by those who are verscd in machinery that
this box is complete in all its parts. 1t
will be exceedingly durable. avoid the
enormous expense Of fabrication, and will
doubtless come into general use, when its
admirable qualities are known to the pub.
lie.
In these days, when SO many ruinous
conHagrations are caused by the shafting
taking fire in factories. whereby business
is so seriously impaired and so many
lives arc lost. and when detentions on
railway trains are occasioned by what are
known as "hot boxes" an invention that
will prevent these accidents may we'll be
regarded as worthy the attention of bust
ness men generally. We understand Mr..
HickOk has applied for patent in Eng.
land on this invention.

ACCIDENT Mr.. s. B. Waters of
johnson, man over 70 years Of age, and
and his wife. also an aged lady, and a
Mrs. Atwell we're going to church on Sum-
day last. and going down hill near John
Carpenters. the rocker-plate to the wagon
came of, letting it fall to the ground
with great violence. Mr.. Waters face
struck the forward axle and was badly
bruised. besides. in putting forth his hands
TO save himself. both shoulders were dis
located. Mrs. Waters received severe
bruises on her shoulder and hip. They
were both taken up insensible and carried
to house near by. where surgical aid
soon found them and replaced the Disco
Gated joints. Mr.. and Mrs. Waters will
doubtless recover, though he is undergo.
ing considerable pain. Mrs. Atwell re.
ceived no injuries. 1t is thought that
the road where the accident happened wa,
as much at fault as the wagon.

THE NEW FIVE CENT CoIN.-The act
which has passed the Senate and House
of Representatives to authorize the coin.
age Of five cent pieces provides that the
new Eve cent piece shall be composed of
copper and nickle, not exceeding twenty
FIVE per cent of nickle." This coin is to
be legal tender to the amount of one
dollar, and redeemed when presented
in sums not less than one hundred dol
lars. 1t is proposed to make this coin
exactly five grammes. or n l6.lO0 grains
in weight. Three of the coins will weigh
one half of an ounce, and will be conve.
hient in the pocket for postage weight.
The law also prohibits the issue of frac.
tional notes less than ten cents after the
passage of this act. The color and an.
pearance Of this coin will be similar to
the three-oent coin, authorised BY the act
Of March Sd, 1865.
