veptors has been adopted by the Cura-
for. MIR. s, p, Ruggles of Boston. lnsteau
of making an unwieldly collection ol
models of complete machines, at great
cost of money and space, it Is proposed u
make museum of the elements OF machinery
"a tangible encyclopedia of those simpler
parts which repeat themselves in different
vays in all machines. IL is intended 20 collect
working models of all the primary devices toI
transmitting, directing, or modifying force ana
motion, and then to classify those models
according to subject, to catalogue them wlth
precision, and to arrange them In order III
suitable cabinets.
The singular and evident advantages of such
Museum are, first that 1t would be of man
ageable size; second, that it would never grow
old; third, that it could always be added 10
with ease; and, fourth, that its simplicity ana
completeness would make it more profitable
for study than a collection of models or pic-
lures of entire machines. This proposed classih-
cation of models Of the elements OF machinery
must be especially serviceable toinventors aiding
them very much as authors are aided by dc
tionaries and gazetteers. Inventors have
hitherto been left too much to their own un-
aided devices, but the collection which Mr..
Ruggles proposes will instruct them, as
class, in what has been already achieved, and
thus prevent, at least to some extent, the
waste of time and strength involved iD re-inven-
ton. 1t is vaguely believed that inventors are
a useful class in the community, but the I'M
portance of aiding them in every possible way
in their civilizing work is seldom fully realized.
There is scarcely a comfort or luxury OF
modern life that is not owed to them, and
through the aid of the machinery they have
created single man can do more work o-day
than thousand could have done half a century
ago. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
in undertaking this important work, appeals
confidently to inventors, constructors, and all
persons interested, for detailed drawings OF the
peculiar elementary features, the characteristic
parts, of such inventions as are within their
knowledge, accompanied by the necessary
descriptions Where working drawings cannot
be furnished, sketches with full descriptions
will be available substitutes.

The purpose Of the agricultural department
in the Cornell University is not only to enable
young men to earn support while they are
studying, but to teach them how to be good
farmers. A correspondent reminds us that one
of the first essentials of farm is good
housekeeper, and asks if the domestic labor of
women is not an important branch of agri-
culture. The question is pertinent for agri-
cultural colleges generally quite as well as for
the noble institution at Ithaca. Provision is
to be made there for the admission OF women; /;
but impatient friends must remember that the
buildings as yet are very far from completion,
and much has to be done before the intentions
of the founder can be realized.
