F. A. Gleason, of Brooklyn, has invented
self-feeding nail machine, which is now
IN operation at the nail factory OF the AL
bany Iron Works. The machine is making
six-penny nails at the rate of 800 to 800 per
minute, and the attendance Of one man
is sufficient for five o. six machines.
The feeding apparatus is the chief
novelty of the machine, and con-
sists OF: First-A plate box holding thirty
pound plate. The lower plate is dischsrged
Immediately after the first plate has been
cut up. Second-An automatic nipper, which
seizes the plate, carr ying it down to the
cutters and feeding it until consumed, then
returning and discharging the scrap in q
receptacle provided for that purpose. The
feeding process is reduced to the simplest
mechanical movements, and the parts liable
to friction and constant wear consist of only
an eccentric, elbow, and their come ctions.
The machine has been examined BY A. l..
Holley, chief engineer Of the Bessemer steel
works Of the United States, John II. Sny-
der, superintendent OF the Tredegar iron
works, Richmond and other experts, and
bas caused much astonishment by it's sim
plicity. The machine runs rapidly, and be-
comes very hot. This is the only defect,
and it is believed that can be easily RENE

, Very Ancient MANUSCRIPT.

Tho Rome correspondent Of the Boston
Pilot writes as follows:
Father Giuseppe Cozza, Basilian Monk of
the Abbey of Grotta Ferrata, near Rome,
has just made known his discovery OF a
very ancient manuscript copy of the
Geography Of Strabo. This writer -four
lshed in the fret century before Christ,
Travelled in many countries. and put forth
strange theories of the earth. His works
were written in Greek, and the Geography
is the only one extant. Father Cozza found
this copy of Strabo in palimpsest, that is
to say, the original writing was scraped off
and the parchment, which had thus been
cleaned, was used as new, and written I'D.
ON again. The work of Father C0zza CON.
sisted in removing the recent writing and
restoring the anclent-a work so SUCCESS
fully inaugurated and 80 productive in re.
suits. which was done for the first time by
the late Cardinal Mai. The diecoverer Of
this copy Of Strabo dates it previous to the
sixth century: more ancient than any of
the twenty. eight codiOes of Srraho known
to exist, and more perfect also. 1t is writ
ten IN three voIumns Of thirty eight lines
each, resembling in this the Vatican Codex,
aud, like that, is all in Greek capital letters.
The reasons on which Father Cozza bases
bis deductions of age and perfection arc
drawn from the character of the maui
script, from it's lettering. and from it's con-
tanning portions omitted from other goddess

Says the Detroit Post: At the last meet
ing OF the State Pathological Society, at
Monroe, there was exhibited genuine
bouquet Of lOtos flowers, fresh from their
native beds about Lotos Island, near the
mouth of the River Rasin, the secretary of
the society remarking. as he exhibited it,
that Monroe il the only place in the State,
if not in the United States, where the exhi-
bition is possible. In an essay just read be-
fore the Port Huron Lotos Club by Judge
-CODger, we find this allusiOn to the island
and the Indian tradition respecting il:
Tho only place of its habitation known
to me upon the American continent is at the
western extremity of Lake Erie, in bay
called by the ancient Indians who dwelt
upon its borders The Waters OF Bliss,
translated by the early French vovageurs
and still inscribed upon the maps La Pia:-
sance Bay through which the warers OF the
RIyiere aux Raisin, or River of Grapes,
flows into the lake. Between the waters of
La Plaisance Bay, in which fourishes the
lotos, and the laae, lay in former times,
and part of which still remains, q crescent
shaped island, called by the Indians The
RAINBOW Isle of Manitou.'
Ancient Indian tradition represents this
Spirit Isle as the sacred place of worship
and feastng of the powerful tribes of Fries,
who once inhabited all the western borders
OF the waters between Lake Huron and the
river of the Cuyahogas, and it is said that
at these feasts the worshipers partook OF
the fruit of plant growing in the adjactant
waterf which filed the soul with such JOY
and So delighted the devotee, that even
strangers from far off tribes. having once
eaten the fruit, renowned their land and
people, and ever after dwelt with the roval
Eries-the chosen people of Manitou But
all were not permitted to land upon the
Spirit Isle and eat the fruit of the code.
Many of the Eastern tribes coming from
the rising sun in their canoes ON the waters
of the great river, as Lake Erie aud our
inland straits we're then called, could come
near the Rainbow Isle. could breath the
fragrs nee Of the sacred flowers could hear
the music of invisible worshipers-but were
restrained by some unseen power from
landing upon its shore and tasting the i'm
mortal food"
