AS the hack on the stand, after getting

A communication was received from the
Machinery Committee setting forth that
the Exposition owed John H. MCGOWAN
upward of 81 ,OOO and recommended that
$1,000 be appropriated and paid him on ac-

THE GENERAL EXHIBITORS.
There being so many small scattered
rooms in the Exposition buildings, there is
no doubt whatever that good many of
them have been missed by the visitors.
However, they contain very little to in
terest the casual observer, but those who
are interested in the articles displayed here
can ponder over their workmanship and
argue their merits for some time. On
passing into the rear corridor from the
south entrance, is seen near the door on
our right display of coffee roasers that
resemble baking pans, and are made by
two pans being hinged together. This
roaster is very simple in construction.
The inventor is Mr.. Charles Jackson, of
California, Ohio.
Opposite his display is the exhibit of
Hughes 4 Zerke, publishers of the Ameri-
can Inventor, journal devoted to science
and inv entions.
The display is real curiosity shop,
there being several hundred models of all
description and forms and signs placed
upon rows of large shelves. Prominent
among the models are: The electric motor,
coal and mineral breaker, low water indi-
wagon, air slip and Thile coupling auto
models. Next to this is window awning,
which is formed from the shutter by loos-
ening the hinges, which can be done
quickly and easily. The center of each
shutter is hung on pivot. When the
hinges are loosened the bottom of the shut
ter is pushed outward, thereby forming
perfect shade to the window and answer
ing the purpose just as we'll as canvas
awning This is certainly very neat de-
vice, as it is an awning and shelter COM
bined. The exhibitors are Messrs. Porter
and BertsOn. Across from this is device
called cord rack for rolling up window
shades. The only thing new noticeable on
this model was the screw that works the
knob around which the cords are moved in
raising or lowering the curtain. The Knob
il worked upward and downward in slat
by the operation of this verticle screw to
the right or left. AT the side of this is a
registering faucet, invented by VIM. Will
liams, of Huntington, Pa. There are three
dials on it, and they are divided into tens,
hundreds thousands. The first or tenth
dial keeps a record of all units or single
drinks up to ten and as a consequence,
when the hand or pointer on it moves and
makes one revolution it indicates that ten
drinks have been drawn therefrom, and so
the multiplication of the pointers increases
up to one thousand.
A little further on is the exhibit of the
Haldeman Paper Company, whose mills are
EtuaCeu at L0CKlanu, OnlO. lnlS Is simply
. display of the different grades of heavy
brown paper put up in rolls. At the far
end of this room is all invention of Joseph
Winters called fire escape. 1t is only a
model of one rather and, as nearly all mod
els work satisfactorily, we will not go into
details regarding the working OF
It. Suffice to say it is simply combina-
ti0n OF ladders and similar to one used by
our Fire Department some years ago. OPP
posite this is the reliable animal trap ex-
hibited by ,McMahel & Mixer. 1t is an in
genious affair and is made very strong for
the capture Of large animals. Leaving this
room, and passing into the rear corridor,
we come upon some large heavy iron
boxes, coffin shaded. AS we are about to ask
the gentleman in attendance what they are
for, we look up and notice a pacard telling
that they are burglar proof grave vaults
What? we exclaim, and must we bury our
beloved friends and relations in such strong
holds as these to keep them from being dis
turbed in their last, long sleep? Yes, we
are answered emphatcally, we must. I'M
agine a long box made of heavy sheet iron
and strongly rivited seams, and you have
the whole structure before you. There is
nothing about it to describe; it is simply a
plain, strong, iron box for the protection
