AS A FRUIT PICKER IT HAS NO SUPERIOR. It is made of Heavy Galvanized Wire, and Easily Adjusted to a Pole. It has been sold for several years, and the demand (as it is becoming known) is steadily increasing. The difficulty of detaching fruit and securing it unbruised is apparent to everyone so engaged. This overcomes the difficulty, and saves the finest fruit, which commands the highest prices. THE LOW PRICE AT WHICH IT IS SOLD brings it within the reach of those who have but little fruit to gather as well as those who have large quan ities. Price, per dozen, $6.00. Liberal discount to dealers. Ii will gather Apples, Peaches, Pears, etc. Manufactured by 'Wlr© ‘WOHnS-JS, EDWARD DARBY SONS, 233 & 235 Arch St., Philadelphia.

THE WORKS MANAGER’S HANDBOOK OF MODERN RULES, TABLES AND DATA • For Civil and Mechanical Engineers, Millwrights and Boiler Makers; Tool Makers, Machinists and Metal Workers; Iron and Brass Founders, etc., etc. BY WALTER S. HUTTON, CIVIL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEER. The Author having been in the habit of compiling Rules and Data for his own use in the construction of a great variety of modern Engineering Work, and having found his notes extremely useful, decided to publish them, after revising them to date, believing that a practical work, suited to the Daily Requirements of Modem Engineers, would be favorably received by the public. The rapid sale of the previous Editions, and the continued favor the Work has received, show that it has been’’ of oonsiderable service to Engineers. ^ In issuing a Fourth Edition, many alterations and improvements have been made, including tbe following amongst other additions, viz.; New matter relating to Steam Engines—Gas Engines—Pumps—^Water Supply, etc., etc. Any book published sent, postpaid, on receipt of price by DATID Pablisher aod Booksieller, 96-193 Reade New ITork.
