Quite change within few years, and an
important one too, has taken place in the
manufacture OF tools and machinery. As
the steam engine was simplifed and rem
dered economical, and its powers recogniz-
ed as standard, then an interest was Great
ed TO apply this power for manufacturing
purposes; and as result we find that scores
Of water wheels Of uncertain and limited
power are discarded and the reliable steam
engine takes their places. ~ We remember
that but q few years ago the materials from
which machinery was made were imperfect
and not well selected, and the work was cor
respOndingiy rough, bunglingly made, and
anskiEully put together, and, rs. . result,
durability and usefulness were out of the
question; but the demand for these tools
appliances was very extensive, and wath ths
experience of Ren who made such work a
speciality, better work was the result, and
better prices. the guerd0n. When manufac-
surers saw that they could hnd reliable
market for their productions, there was
stimulant to expend means for better ma
chinery, which in its turn would produce
better and moro perfect work, ah.., as u re-
built, slow ami steady improvement has
been made in all kinds Of machinery, tools,
and mechanical appliances, and the progress
OF this improysmens is not yes arrested, bus
continues. There may be- : very limited do
