New Planing Machine. We learn by the Albany papers that Mr. Geo. W. Beardslee has now one of his recent ly patented planing machines finished and in operation. The machine was constructed at Townsend's Foundry an establishment that will not let a piece of bad work pass out the gate and a trial of its merits has been highly spo ken of. On this trial it turned out fifteen-inch plank at the rate of 120 feet a minute giving it a smoothness and evenness of surface the most perfect and a polish far better than could be given by the hand plane. The knives or cutters are stationary but elastic and the plank is carried through by a connected series of platforms which by an eccentric motion reversing the course of each performs all the functions of an endless chain. The plank is placed laterally (instead of hori zontally as in Woodworth's machine) and so is less liable to obstruction. The cutters are so combined as to throw off the shavings and keep the action of the machine free. We ex pect to be able to publish an illustrated de scription of this machine in a few weeks. Gravitating Hotel Enunciator. Mr. L. A. Hudson has invented and taken measures to secure a patent for an improve ment in enunciators for hotels the name given being that mentioned above. It is stated to be much less expensive to construct and much easier kept in repair than any heretofore person in a room by simply touching a wire makes a ball come popping forward in the bar room saying 'Mr. Waiter your presence is gee County Gs. has taken measures to secure a patent for an improvement in steam boilers in which the fire box has a double casing at its front and sides for containing water and which communicates a branch pipe with the bottom of the boiler and sides. Swan's Water Wheel. Mr. Nathaniel Swan of Knox Albany Co. N. Y. has applied for a patent for an improved water wheel having the sin gle disc with buckets placed upon it in such a manner that the wheel obtains it is said a greater leverage according
