MECHANICS HALL
Among the mechanical inventions, little no
ticed but probably second in Importance to none
in the hall, was the safety valve, exhibited by
Burns & Milter Of Saginaw, Mich. 1t is con
trivance-and it strikes US as a very simple and
effective oue-for letting the steam out of BOZ
Ter when the raier in the boiler is reduced below
a given point 1t is known that explosions oo-
cur almost invariably from low water in the BOZ
Ter. BY use Of this invention, consisting Ct
float connected with system of levers, the valve
is opened with great certainty, if the water be-
comes low, and the escape of steam is only stop
ped when the water il restored to its proper level
We understand that this valve has proved its
efficiency in actual use, and we have seen a GER
ti6ea'e from Mr. T. C. Theaker, U. : Commits
sioner of Patents, asserting his belief that this
valve is a certain and reliable prevention ofal
steam boiler explosions " Il seems to Us that
this valve is worthy the attention Of all makers
and users Of steam engines.
Among the noticeable Agricultural Implements
was wheel-harIow lately invented and perfect
cd by E R. Powell of Cambridge, Vt 1t
is claimed that it does good work, and Is
much easier for team than the common har-
row. We see no reason Why it should no; prove
success.
