This Cut almost speaks for itself —the device being so much like the human hand' shows at once the utility of the article. 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. It will gather Apples, Peaches, Pears, etc. Manufactured by 'WirO "WorlS.S, _ EPVWARP PARBY Gt SO IMS, 23 3 & 235 Arch St., Philadelphia Pa» PAINTED AND GALVANIZED WINDOW SCREEN CLOTH.

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 preat'.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 Modern 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 considerable service to Engineers. In issuing a Fourth Edition, many alterations and improvements have been made, including the following amongst other additions, viz. : New matter relating to Steam Engines—Gas Engines—Pnmps—Water Supply, etc., etc. Any book published sent, postpaid, on receipt of price by DAVID WILLIAMS, Publisher and Bookseller, 96-102 Reade St., T^ew ITork.
