SOME OF THE AMERICAN INVENTIONS WEIGH
WILL BE SENT 10 THE EXPOSITION.
In 1873 writer for The London Tines paid the
American exhibition of machinery at the London Ex
position tribute that was free Of prejudice, and
which, therefore, attracted much attention. 1t was
conceded, too, all sides that tho American display
Of machinery was remarkable, and justified the Eng
lihman's conclusion that tho American genius which
had found expression In sach wonderful and perfect
inventions Of machinery was equal 10 the genius Of
the Greeks that made their sculpture models OF per
fecton for even the generation OF to-day II Is IN
terestlng 10 recall here also tho words of Emperor
Francis Joseph who said at the Vienna Exposition OF
1873 in regard TO the American exhibit of machinery
aThe United States have shown more novelties, more
important inventions and greater progress in this OK
hibition than any other county,
It may be recorded hero advsedly that in the
opinion Of those who are competent to Judge the
American exhibition Of machinery at tho Paris Expo
sltion will slrpass any foreign display which the
unlted States have ever made. The headquarters
Of the American section OF machinery are at No.
broadway where the Commissioners have their rooms
