Machinery Exhibition. Extra
provision is being made for an
nexes to accommodate the by
draulic machinery, the t am ham
mers, FORCES, hosting engines,
boilers, plumbers, carpenter, etc.
Power in the Machinery Hall
will he chiefly supplied by a pair
of monster Corliss Engines
Each cylinder is 40 inches in di-
ameter, with q stroke of ten feet;
the fy-wheel is 81 feet in diane
ter, and weighs So tons; the horse
power is 1,400; and the number
of boilers is 20. This engine
drives about a mile of Skating.
For the AIT Exhibition, the
most eminent American artists
are understood to be at work, and
it may be confidently stated that,
especially in the department OF
landscape painting, the United
States will present a finer display
than the public has been led to
expect. Quite aside from the con-
tributions OF American artists,
applications from abroad call for
more than four times the exhtbi-
ting spade afforded by the great
Memorial Hall. Provision for
the surplus will be made in TEN
porary fire-proot buildings,
though all exhibiting nations will
be represented in the central Art
Gallery.
The Secretary OF the Navy has
arranged that q United States
war vessel shall call next Spring,
at convenient European ports, to
collect and transport hither to
the Exhibition the works of
American artists, resident ia Eu-
rope. Among the ports thus far
designated, are Southampton for

John King of Tennessee is
very busy asking questions about
what has taken place during the
last thirteen years He had 3
farm in Tennessee in 1852, and the
soldiers of both armies made
themselves cordially at home on
his premises. So he removed
with all his produce to a cave in
the Cumberland Mountains. A
storm threw down q rock which
closed the mouth OF the cave.
Therein he lived for thrice years,
in the dark, eating from his pro-
