A NAIL GUN-ResDecting an i'm
plement on view at the Wellington In
dustrial Exhibition, the Ne,U Zeol0nd
Times SAYS: "One Of the most simple
and at the same time most ingenious
implement, on view at the Exhibition
is an invention of n young man in this
city, a Mr. +. Faulkner 1t is called a
'nail-gun, and is used for mailing down
flooring boards We have seen the i'm
plement in use, and rs far as we are
able to judge it is quicker in its work
and insures greater cleanliness than
hand mailing could do. The apparatus
is not unlike a gun in shspe. and is
about the same length. 1t is kept in
position with the foot and knee, and
the nail to De placed point DOWN in
an aperture at the top of the concern
it slides down to the bottom and then
the operator draws up Iod, and by
one downward stroke of this the nail
Is cleanly driven into the boards be
| meath. A practiced hand by this sim
pie contrivance could do the work OF
/ half a dozen men We believe that
Mr.. Faulkner is now improving upon
his invention. and is making a mail
gum which-will be self feeding. We
have no doubt that when the imple
ment comes to be generally known il
will be brought into general use"

approach the horse on :he windy side

soon as you can reach him, rub some
of the cummin OF his nose, give him a
little Of the castor on anything he
likes, and get n few drops of the oil
Of rhodiun on his tongue. A fter this

How TO CUT A GLASS BOTTLE

How TO CUT a GLASS BOTTLE
Saturate piece of common twine in
spirits of Curpentine and pass it once or
twice around the bottle where you
wish to cut it ; then light the twine and
hold the part of the bottle which YOU
wish to keep in your hand. Turn the
bottle so the fire VIII burn on all
parts of the twine at once; and when it
cools, if it does not drop off give it a
gentle tap.
