The committee from the patent of.

usual custom in making n novel and
attractive display of working ma
chimes from progressive inventors in
the different arts-some of the I'M
provements which to-day are silently
contributing to their modern com

though the steps taken by each inven-

they are multitudinous, and before one

When a fellow keeps himself soaked
