static machines; in the center Of the an
nexed building is tank Of water for their
use, sixty by one hundred and sixty feet
and ten feet deep, and some Of the streams
of water being thrown are a foot in diam
eter. After two days of careful study in
this building we are able 10 approximate
a condensed statement Of ito contents.
The United Statos occupies about two
thirds Of this building and all considered
is, of course, far ahead.
First, then, we have the machinery for

flying machines, boats and sailing vessels,
used in commerce and war, rowing boats
and submarine apparatuses, ice boats,
models, and sections of all kinds steam
crafts, dredging Imachines, boiler works,
&c.
Now when you reflect that there were
not only one Of each of these machines
in operation, but many competitors of each
variety, al well AZ q great variety under
each Of these classes you will understand
how impossible is any attempt At detail,
For instance there were twelve looms
weaving carpets, every variety of sewing
machines on earth was there; some of
them running by water and worked with
great velosity by one inch turbine wheel.
There were grand soda fountains enough
to cover the Bsloit bridge from end to end.
Fire engines enough to take up all the
water Of the sioux river lat mid sum.
msr); dozen different jig saws, some of
which would saw whole rocking chair
from block of wood. In the German de-
partment there was monument of iron
ore eight feet square at the base and thirty
feet high; also two .riaed cannon, one of
which would throw ball twelve and the
other fifteen miles. A machine to cut
cloth, forty thicknesses at once; dozen
machines manufacturing candy. In short,
cannot think of anything which was
ever made but what somo number Of ma
chimes were at work at it in that building.
To any one interested in machinery, the
improvement on steam engines from Eu-
rope and America were very Important
In separate building belonging to this
department, (Mschiaery halD wer. about
one dozen saw mills cutting logs into
boards; there were circular, upright, and
band saws; band saw consists of steel
belt with the saw teeth on one edge; it is
stretched over wheels like an ordinary
leather belt, so that when in motion it cuts
continually in one direction, without re-
turning like an upright.
