exhibited by Chas. L. Evans, a native Mis-
sissippian, who has attained perfection in
the manufacture of DR.. Bly's anatomical lee
the only one having side motion at the
ankle. Mr.. Evans is making these limbs
IN Cincinnati, and in order to ascertain the
superior merits, such as the ease and ma
tural motion OF these limbs, so finely finish
ed and durable In their character,they should
be seen. The agent uses one of these arti-
fetal legs, without knowing which fact one
would hardly imagine it other than natu-
raj limb.
BACKLOG BOILER FOR COOKING RANGES.
Among the new entries, which for promi-
nent merits of utility is an improved patent
backlog boiler for cooking ranges and
other culinary apparatus, manufactured
and patented by Benjamin Hunter, of
Philadelphia, Pa. 1t certainly is the most
complete invention for its kind we have
ever seen, and deserves not only the notice
OF the press, but also an examination from
housekeepers and others, it being the first
time they have been exhibited. One of its
principal uses is for heating water quickly
and also has an advantage from the fact
that 1t economies in fuel, and yet heats
water, ETC., in as good and quick manner as
conld be expected. No pipes are required
in this boiler, the compactnesS and convent
ence OF which will find it ready welcome
and appre iative adoption throughout the
| country. The name of the range is Excel
sior No. 8, exhibited and for sale by David
Grewar, the large and well-known plumber
of our city, the people of which viii not be
slow in discovering the merits of the in
ventiOn.
Ayers GREAT DECoRTICAToR.
Messrs. Burr 81 Flinders of Macon, Ca,
agents In Georgia and Tennessee, for the
Ayers Great Decorticator have on exhibit
ton samples of wheat with -four, bread
and crackers made therefrom, after receiv-
ing the improving and purifying process of
this machine, which extracts all the dirt
and dust, impure substances and foreign
qualities of the wheat and grain. To show
the merits of this machine the wheat be-
fore undergoing the process is exhibited in
connection with other which has been
cleansed. Any one seeing the difference
between the wheat will at once be satisfied
of its superior claims upon the wheat
growers and millers of this country.
A VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION.
hr. A. G. Butts, Of Macon, Ga, has pre-
sented the Board of Managers with a large
county map of the State of Georgia. The
map, which is finely printed, beautifully
and handsomely colOred, represents each
and every county, town, city, river, stream
and local point of interest In that State. 1t
is ornamented with pictures of public
buildings, including the old Capitol at Mil
ledgeville and the new one at Atlanta, the
Executive Mansion, etc. The map is 56
by 81 inches in size, was compiled in 1859

DRAWINGS.
Some fine specimens of crayon drawings
from Wards Seminary are to be seen at
the Exposition. One from bust of Psyche
is excellent. A portrait of the celebrated
Abelard and life portrait of DR.. Blackie
are credItable to this Seminary, which is
doing more every year for art culture.
THE AFTERNOON ATTENDANCE
was not as large as that of the forenoon
which was due to the inclement weather,
rain falling nearly the whole day.
For Saturday the attendance thrOug-
out was larger than cyuld
have been expected. During the week
more people have been in the city than
were ever here during the same length of
time since the war. We should feel graft
that there will be perhaps larger number
of people in the city this week.
LAST NIGHT.
BY dark the rain commenced in torrents. |
Consequently many were prevented from |
visiting the Exposition. Still the attend |
ance was quite large, there being between |
fifteen hundred and two thousand persons. |
NOVEL ATTRACTION
-ooto ID 60 LfxxVnoffinr,
is an old lady making cotton and linen lace |
in imitation of UalencienneS. 1t is hardly |
possible to give a description that would |
explain the process of this work. In the |
first place the ole lady has in her lap large |
oval cushion, not unlike a pin cushion, |
around which runs a leather band, which |
is the pattern for the lace figure.
The pattern is determined by an indefinite /
number of holes; small wooden spools or
cylinders, half an inch in diameter and six
inches long, with a knot at each end around
which the thread wound, serve in this con-
nection the purpose of a shuttle in loom.
The making of the lace is kind of plating,
twenty-eight of these spools being used,
though for lace wider than one inch and of
intricate figure, forty or fifty are required.
The form of the pattern is determined by
otlChlllS pins JHC uOlCo VI lhC DoaAAA
into the cushion, the thread being twisted
around them. The old lady can weave
two yards in a day and asks, forty cents a
yard for the same. 1t attracted much at
IGNITION being new to most of the visitors.
