sTAMMERING TOM. :"

At the age of Is he was engaged by his
elder brother, Stephen, to assist him in his
tack mill, which he had just started in
West Milbury. Young Thomas's duty was
to head the tacks in vice, with a hand
hammer, one by one. Once in mechanic
shop his dormant genius began to wake up.
Ere he had spent many months heading
tacks, one by one, he had designed, con-
structed and put in operation machine
which would cut and head them at one mo.
ton twice as fast as the ticking of a watch,
and better finished than those made by
hand. So perfect was it in design and con-
struetion it was continued in use more than
20 years. 1t is said to be still in existence,
and experts who have seen it say that no
essential improvement has ever been made
upon it. The reputation of the boys sue
cess IN his brothers tack factory led Asa
Waters, who had in the same town of Mil
bury an armory, where he manufactured
arms for the Government, to send for the
budding inventor, and there young
Blanchard, at almost glance at the old
process for shaping gun-barrels, suggested
an improvement by which the irregular
butt of the barrel could be turned by ma
chinery, and afterwards produced ma
chine for turning out the gun-stock. The
germ of the stocking lay in the
cam motion, and it was then and there, as
he afterwards said, that the idea of his

! woRLD-RENowNED MACHINE

For turning irregular forms first flashed
through his mind, although it required
some months to elaborate and bring it out.
Blanchard was afterwards called to the
Springfield armory, where his machines
were introduced and adopted by the Gov
eminent. His machine for producing IT.
regular forms was applied to a vast number
of special purposes. Unlike many other
inventions this was really the discovery of
new principle in mechanics, whereby the
machine is made the obedient, faithful SER
want of man, to work out his designs after
any given model, be it round or square,
crooked or straight, however irregular, and
made to reproduce the original shape ex-
actly, every time. This perfect uniformity
of Blanchard's work suggested the idea Of
having all the parts of the guns made at
the armories perfectly uniform, so as to be
interchangeable. Hitherto they had been
fitted separately like Swiss watches, and
carefully lettered or numbered. This was
the method in all workshops, even to the
bolts of carriage or common bedstead,
and woe to him who misplaced one. Itwas
Blanchard who first rendered possible the
accomplishment of the desired result with
respect to arms, and to him the writer gives
the credit of the origin of the

Which has revolutionized mechanical pro-
cesses in all our workshops, per-
fected and greatly cheapened mechanic
products, and driven from use the
old system of numbering. Blanchard
realized but little pecuniarily on his
patents, for they were so pirated upon that
he had to spend many thousand dollars in
defending his rights in the Courts. He
succeeded in getting an extension of his
patent for producing irregular forms, but
at the end of the extension he had made
practically nothing on it, and began to
think of trying for second extension but
such thing was unprecedented, and

"A GREAT INVENTION AND GREAT ~
VEETOR.

A brief biography of Thomas Blanchard,
the inventor of the mechanical combination
for turning irregular forms, who died at
Boston in 1865. has just been issued. The
writer, Asa FL. Water, says that although
the name of Thomas Blanchard is not so
popularity known as many others who have
achieved fame from single inventions, the
writer boldly asserts that it may be "ques-
toned whether another inventor can be
named in this country or IN Europe, dur
ing the last century, who has produced so
many different labor-saving machines, APP
pGcable to such great variety of uses, and
which have contributed so largely to the
common necessities, comforts and econ
omies of life This language may seem ex-
travagant, but it must be remembered that
not an armory exists in this country or in
England where guns are made-hardly
human being that wears boots or shoes
scarcely a vessel that sails upon the ocean
not school where states are used-not
carpet that is laid down, bat that owes
tribute to the
GENIUS OF THOMAS BLANCHARD
For producing articles cheaper and better.
The same may be said of carriage wheels,
plows, shoveis, and various articles of fur
niture Latterly his machines have been
applied to carving, to architectural designs,
and even to statuary-mueh to the surprise
of artists. Indeed, there seems to be no
limit to the uses made of Banchard's in
ventions, and it is impossible at present to
enumerate them. One can hardly go into
tool shop, machine shop, or workshop
of any kind, wood or iron, where motive
power is used, in which he will not find
more or less of Blanchard's mechanical
motion. Blanchard was native of Sutton,
Mass, and was born June "a, 1888. His
father, Samuel, was farmer, and lived on
a poor, remote strip of land, where there
was absolutely nothing to suggest me-
chanical motion While on the farm
Thomas gave little if any promise of the
latent powers within him. There was
nothing in bis surroundings to excite them.
He was misplaced; schools were remote |
and he seldom attended, for he was afflicted |
with a perverse impeachment of speech, so
that the boys called him

On Mr.. D. A. McCollum's plantation,
some twenty miles east of Dallas, there was
a big cotton picking on Tuesday. Mr., j. F.
Love, young man of about twenty. one
years, picked 5l7 pounds between sunrise
and sunset, and Mr.F. G. Brown, about the
same age, picked 44s pounds in the Same
period of time. The cotton was very well
picked, and was done under wager Of $40.
The price of so cents per hundred was al.
lowed, and half hour for dinner was Der.
mitted. This shows what can be- done by
young men and others who are SO anxious to
get to work. They may not DO as we'll, bu,
IL they even do the one.half, the wolf can
be kept from the door.
