FROM THE "sCiENT1f1C AMERICAN"


The tests to which Wheeler t. Wilson'S new
sewing machine was subjected at the Centcn-
nial by tho the judges are not less than won-
dcrful and will be interesting as showing its
1nauy strong points; one was, to stitch book
muslin with No. 400 cotton ut the rate OF GOO
stitches pcr minute. To test the case with
which it runs, two thicknesses Of muslin were
stitched together with No. GO cotton at 4 speed
Of GOO stitches per minute with the same cotton
used as driying-belt. On patent enunlelcd
leather, and without injury to the surface, lines
Of stitching were ulaIc containing 100 perfect
stitches to the inch Bags OF both India rubber
and kid were stitched water-tight at the seams
Twenty thiclSnesses Of Il ''butternut' duck were
sewed together. Again, six layers OF tin, alter
mating with seven thickncsscs OF broadc1oti,,
were all stitched together without any previous
puncturing Of the tin. With no change in the
adjustment Of either tension, seams were made
thicknesscs OF leather, thence to muslin and to
tho thinnest tissue paper. Ca1fssin and India
rubber were sewed together, and the tcatS OF
making seams With copper wire instead OF
thread, aud using purposcly knottcd under
thread, were successfully performed; finally the
machine was run at speed Of over2 900 stitches
per minute. ,
The result of this remarkable exhibition was
the three awards to the Wheeler s. Wilson
machines, and the highest praise in the official
report
The judges were the ablcst mechanical ex.
perts; no men could have been better prepared
for the office or more impartial. They were:

DctonaEy.''
Mr.. Gregory, for twelve years Examiner in the
Patent Office.
Mr. Puget, IN eminent English civil engineer
and patent expert; juror Ut the Vieuna Exhi-
bftion.
This triumph is OF all the more value for be-
ing in America, where the sewing machine orig
i1taGe,l and has had its Development, and where
each company could do its best.

John H. Ferrell Permanent Secretary.
The Chair stated that there were no restric.
tions as to the politics OF nationality in the
Club. All they wanted was to find the best
timber possible to construct m Alderman out Of
Mr.. D. James Lcary explained the object OF
the meeting TO be to obtain for the southeast
end Of the ward its due proportion Of improve,
ments contemplated by the Council. So fa1
there has been a good deal of trouble in this
respect, owing to the fact that Bridgeport has
always returned the Aldermen for the ward,
owing to its prcponderance OF voting power.
The southeast end claims to represent the
wealth and intelligence OF the ward and intends
III future to have its share Of the appropria-
tions.
As matter of course, nearly dozen gentle
men are ready to promise ali sorts Of things,
provided they be elected in April next. and
most of these arc already enrolled on the books

TO ahs Editor ar TIE Trfbuns.
CHICAGO, March 3,-As the Presidential con-
test is happily decided, and the coming mu-
nicipal election will soon engross our attention.
I would like to make few remarks through the
columns Of your paper in regard to tue Mayor
alty. We need for the Executive Of our great
metropolis man in whose ability to govern VIC
have faith,-a man of known honesty aud
integrity, an energetic business man, and 4
heavy taxpayer. Such man is Afr. NJ. a.
Co. He WAS one Of the founders Of the Citi-
zcns' Association, md is little known in con-
ncction with politics, but is one Of the most
popular business men in the city. Such q man
we want for Mayor. If the Republicans in this
city should adopt for their motto: "No pro-
fessional politician need apply,'' and nominate
Mr.. NJ. A.. Meyer, or some other man Of his
stamp for their ::standard~bearcr In the ensuing
election, they will surely win. Vox PoruLl.
