Extract From the Preface: In the following pages we have attempted to present such a view of the whole subject of prospecting for the useful minerals that any liberally educated reader may fully comprehend our meaning. We have therefore explained special terms where we have thought it convenient to use them, and where the technically educated student would not need an explanation. The table of contents and index have both been carefully prepared, and being very full, will make reference to any subject in the volume easy and satisfactory. 44 engravings. 175 pages gale by David Williams, 96*102 Reads St., N.

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 quaniities. Price, per dozen, $6.00. Liberal discount to dealers. It will gather Apples, Peaches, Pears, etc. Manufactured by :E>© 13 L 13 LS 3 F’l' 17 -a, 3 a.l«, "Wlr © "WorlS-S, EDWARD DARBY % SONS, 233 & 235 Arch St., Philadelphia, Pa.

This Tubing is not intended to convey liquids, but for construction purposes where rigid¬ ity, elasticity, strength and lightness are required is equal to machinery rounds, and tests have proven conclusively that it is stiffer, stronger and more serviceable than welded pipe. It is manufactured in rounds from ^ inch to 4 inches in diameter, and a large assortment of Squares, Channels and Triangles, which can be used to great advantage by manufacturers of Agricultural Implements, Wagons, Wheelbarrows, Fire Escapes, Blowers, Wind Mills, Railway Signals, Fences, Hand Railings, Light Iron Buildings, Forges, Brake Beams, Tops and Masts for Electric Light and Trolley Poles, Braces for Car Truck Frames, Bedstead Frames, Railway and Steamship Railings, etc. We will be glad to name prices and discounts and furnish samples for tests. \ NATIONAL STRUCTURAL TUBING CO., Potter Birildlng, Ne'w York.
