MIR. Fl. c. Hall brought curiosity to
Boonville recently that We have, seldom
seen equaled. 1t was the workmanship of
Mr.. c. E. Stewart. Of Pleasant Green, who
is quite genius in that way. The Curl
osity is wooden frame made of sixteen
pieces and eight braces, morticed, drawn,
bored and pinned, and the whole placed
inside of a round glass bottle pie.e by
piece, and adjusted after being inserted.
The frame was then fastened in By a wood
en- stopper, which turns around easily, but
which can not be gotten ont. Altogether it
is a queer bit of work. Mr.. Hall intends
taking il to NV York with him and show
ing it to friends there.
