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 ®ii&3,ged. 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 "Wlr© _ EDWARD DARBY A SONS, 2 33 &, 235 Arch St., Philadelphia.

The Author having been in the habit of compiling Rules and Data for his own use in the construction of a ^eat 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 Requmements 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 considerable service to Engineers.
