These gentlemen were, Ike the Memphis dele

pupils from Memphis and Louisville, both Of

| their undertaking Among the new entries of
useful inventions we feel constrained ID Mention
two made by Mr. JAS III. Wilson OF Brentwood,
| Tennessee, one is patent
SAFETY sELF-FEEDING LAMP.
The simple nature and cheap cost of the con-
strnetion OF which, irrespective Of other superior
| OF tin, though it can be Tusde Of glass; the bowl
is an inverted cone, in having pipe or pipe-like
opening, which rests upon a stand into which
pendicular end in which is the wick is inserted
in the stand and thereby the oil feeds the wick
without allowing itself to coihe iii contact with
| the air until it Is on fire: The gas Is prevented
from escaping thereby doing away with an
chances OF explosion. Another KIND of these in
verted bowls hasa tube running in X from its top
injury, and when desirable, can be lighted where
| it comes in contact with the air thereby giving
an additional light. Its merits demand an exS
aplhatlon. Inc other Invention Is q superior and
IMPROVED WASHING MACHINE
| surprising IN general utility anything we have
| ever seen. The machine has a long box to hold
| ehe water; set IN this are number of square
| frames, the washing boards of which--theTe be-
| ing Two to each frame-are ribbed, and by means
| Of India-rubbeT springs, susceptible Of giving
andreeelvlng the requisite space according to
| the amount OF pressure made by the thickness of
| the clothes. These frames or boards work per
i pendiculariy in their motion, which is supplied
| by means OF shaft broken into series of
eranks alternately made on opposite sides Each
board IS divided into several equal parts by OPEN
/ ings, which, horizontal, extend entirely across
the box and boards. This is the nearest approach
we nave ever seen in any machine assuming a
manipulating motion, whereby the clothes are
washed entirely clean. The machine is cheaD.
and can throw the clothes from the washers TO
| India-rubber cylinder wringers leaving them
ready for the iron. 1t is destined to gain gen
| eral use. %
AGRICULTURAL MACHINES.
IN examining the different machines and i'm
PIGMENTS now ON exhibitOn!we are well pleased to
make mention of those entered by L. w. Weller
Nashville boy who has them in full operation,
when merit great attention and praise from our
agricultural friends. The machines are superin-
tended by him. The first we observed was the
| Whitman Thresher and Cleaner run by steam
GONG its work to perfection and gives entire
tlsfactOn. The best proof of this Is the number
sold during the Exposition which is surprisingly
great-amounting to $4,000 The one now in
operation has the purchasers name on thames
Brisby, Jordan's Store, Williamson county, Tenn.
The horsepower made by the same parties bears
the name of Dan Collett, Hollis Corner, Tenn
Inc above are made at st. Louis, Mo-, by the
whitman Agricultural Works recently organiz-
ed for the manufacture of implements adapted
70 the SOnth. We next come to the Wheeler
Mellsk q Co. Thresher and Cleaner, run by steam
from the man shaft, doing its work beautifully
and making no noise; is first class machine and
has host of friends. The 4Etna Reaper and
Mower (self rake) is a fine piece of me
ensnlsm and stands at. tine head of the
llst' Mr.. w. succeeded in taking
the first premium at the Georgia State Fair over
htteen competitors. This machine can be used
as hand-raking, self-raking and dropper reap
er, also mower that cannot be excelled, and is
well made and durable. One of the most attrac-
tive features OF Mr. WIS entries land at the same
time OF the Exposition) is the dog and goat pow
er, operated by Prof. j. Thompson Hager, as
sisted by Master Church Anderson, who always
have large crowd to witness the working of the
power. Several churns of different STYLES can be
attached from the old fashion dasher TO the latest
patents. Yesterday ten gallons of milk were
churned in fifteen minutes and every one present
was treated 10 glass-the Managers receiving
their proportion, which they thankfully acknOwi-
edged the receipt Of The name OF fine doc is |
Carlo, the goats Billy and Nanny. Mr. W. pro-
poses to make ice cream to-day and extends |
an invitation 10 all visitors TO come and help |
themselves. We failed to mention his place OF |
0uslness-53 and SIS Bro d street-Where will be |
found large assortment of stoves tinware etc
also SEEDS and agricultural implements. He is |
agent Tor number of first class machines. Par
les IN need OF anything in his line will do well
to call and see him.
HowEs, BABoocK & CO.,
OF Silver Greek, New York, prOprietors and |
manufacturers OF the Eureka Smut and Separa- |
ung machine, have contributed one of their |
smai!-slzed machines to our great Industrial Ex- |
position, which is in full operation every dav and
evening, exhibited by d. c. HoYes their Gen |
eral Agent. 1t is located in the southern end of 1
Mechanics Hall. Millers and mill owners |
would DO well TO call and witness the operations
OF this splendid machine The agent win cheer
fully explain its workings to any who NAV not /
1ully understand it. 1t is sold in all parts ofAhe
world where such machines are used. This com /
pany was formed something over seven vesrs
since, the first year building about tive hun |
dred machines, and from that time up to the pres
eRt 1t has made rapid progress. Last wear they
manufactured over one thousand, and during l
the seven years over 5000. They have q /
large trade in England and in all parts /
OF Europe where there is any milling
interest This is the largest smut machine /
mandatory in the world or that ever was built;
The company employs over fifty men with fine /
most improved machinery, and also employ six
t9aVelinS agents constantly; and it is believed
that they manufacture twice as many smut ma
chlnes as all the other manufacturers in the Uni
tsa Stases combined. This company have taken
the lead in smut machines They manufacturer
eight different sizes and kinds, and can furnish
mlllers with any size required for the largest
merchant mill down to any custom min i'm fbe |
country. Millers of Tennessee and in the Sontb
should not fail to call and examine this machine
well. '---S -"' y iii1i0

TURBINE WHEEL.
Among the many articles and machines on ex
hibitiOn none are more deserving of mention than
the justly celebrated American Turbine Water
Wheels, manufactured by the wel-known firm
OF Stout, Mills & Temple, pT0prietors of the
Globe Iron Works, Day.on, Ohio. wbo have |
earned for themselves reputation for hOnOrable
dealings with their customers second to none
When the American Turbine was first introd need |
the demand was for while about two q vvaejr. |
since then it has steadily increased to the large
number of over six hundred per annum Attic |
present time the demand is greater than ever be-
lore, compelling the firm to run their works |
night and day and employing over two hundred |
men. The wheel is also manufactured at fine |
Eulton Shops, Fulton, New York, HolyOke,
The present great demand goes TO DrOve |
the superiority of the American Turbine over ali |
competing wheels. There are over six thousand
wheels in successful operation scattered all over
the world. The advantages of this wheel are:
First, the high velocity; the power being in exact
proportion to the amount of water admitted i'm |
the adjustable shutes. Second, the CONSTRUCTION
of the wheel is such that back water affects il
only to the amount of loss of head and fall.
Third, the superior mechanical Construction |
simplicity and durability. Fourth theaease with !
which the gates are operated under the yerv
highest heads, there being no pressure of water |
on the gates, which is the cause of some wheels |
giving 50 much trouble, it being almost impos-
sbe to move the gates their wheels. The |
gates of the American Turbine are operated nv |
a governor when parties desire it, making an adj |
mirable arrangement for factories where the |
power is variable. Fifth, the application being |
almost without friction the water is applied NJ |
six to twelve points There is an equal pressure |
upon all the parts of the wheel. These wheels
are adapted to all heads They are running
from two feet up to 100 feet, proving |
their adaptability to any head. Messrs Stout |
Mills s Temple have in operation at the ExpO.
sition a wheel only three inches in diameter.
made entirely of brass. The speed of this wheel
is 400 revolutions per minute. Under head of
feet inches, it drives a Wheeler & Wilson
sewing machine at a speed of 5000 revolutions |
per minute. 1t Is located at the foot of the stairs
eading TO the gallery, south end of Power Hall .
All who are interested in water powers are cor I
1ially invited to call and this wheel in oDers-
ion, and also examine l3-inch wheel on exbi- | =
Dition by the side OF the 3-inch wheel. Mr.. Jas \
u. Waldie, the agent, will take great pleasure | y
