New Cloth Measurer. Mr. A. A. Erskine of Eaton Madison Co. N. Y. has invented a new and simple appara tus for measuring end rolling narrow cloth at one operation. The cloth is taken from the press and placed upon a cushion in the ma chine from which it passes to a drum one shaft where it is rolled up in a nice square roll ready for the market. While it is being measured and rolled up the papers are depo sited upon a shelf in a nice compact pile This machine saves all the time generally be stowed upon cloth after pressing except star ting the machine and registering the number of the piece and number of yards for it may It has been used about six weeks during which it has been examined by manufacturers and others and approved by all. It is very simple and can be got up in good style and warranted to work well for fifty or sixty dollars deliver ed without transportation. Measures have New Screw Driver. Screw Drivers which we think is valuable and exhibits not a little ingenuity. It is a plan of a driver for screwing up large screws and gives all the power that is required for that purpose something which the common screw for quick and neat workmanship. We may be able to present at some future period an Improvement in Sawing Machines. such as circles and bevelled work and for cntting timber for ship building which from its great simplicity and apparent utility we expense to attach it to any sawmill. The be vel is regulated by a moveable circular frame and bevels can be cut to any degree with the utmost accuracy. Steam for Extinguishing Fires. Some experiments have been made this and last week in Williamsburg near this city to show the superiority of using steam in place of water for extinguishing fires. Mr. S. Broad head is said to have a patent for this discove A large tar barrel was filled with combustible materials and set on fire being well supplied with air through holes bored in the sides. A tube from a steam boiler under a pressure of sixteen pounds conveyed the
