A Irons Hana-A ii’eaderfblfieee e] lockout-.— ‘l'ho old adage which proclaims that “there‘s nothing new under the sun.” has been “fix and yet sac- eooohily refuted by tir. lodeeh‘Dedd a Newark It» chlniet. has invested a one; one that. moved by steam. will perlbr- sole of the ‘Itost important functions of banana]. that will. standing upright. walk or run. as b. is b . in any direction. and at almost any rate of speed. drawn after him a load whose weight would to; the sire of three stout draught horses. The his- to of this carious invention is somliowe :—

yearo ago'. Mr. Deddertoh. the inventor. who h at present but a years, of maneuver! the novel idea of eeaotracti s also that idrecelve its vitality from 0 ’0 lotion machine. The idea was basedon the well known mechanical principal that if a heavy weight be placed on the top of an upright. slightly in. cllned from a vertical. gravitation will tend to produce a hurisonial as well no a vertical motion.

The prtglect was not successful. However. by obser-

vi care lly diseanu of the ihlluro. preserving and

till. the man brie. and by substituting steam in- stead of the perpetual motion machine, the present suc- oeos was attained.

The man stands serve that nine inches high. the other dimensions of the bed being correctly proportioned. mnkln him asecoud auiei Lambert. by which name be tlously spoken of among the workmen. lie

welsh: ave hundred pounds. Bteam in generated in the body or trunk which is nothing but a three horse power “line. like these used-in oer steam a e engines. The legs which support it are complicated end wonderml- '1‘ e etepe are taken very naturally and quite easily. As the body is thrown forward upon the advanced foot. the other is lifted from the ground by a spring and thrown forward b the steam. hist step or pace advances the body two eet. and every revelation of the engine pro- duces four paces. As the engine is capable of pernmn- ing more than a thousand revolutions a minute. it would

t over the ground. on this calculation. at the rate ofa

ttio more than a mile a minute. As this would be

working the legs fhoter than would be safe on uneven ground or on Broad street cobble stones. it is proposed to run the engine at the rate orsoo revolutiona per ruin. his. which would walk the man at the modest speed of half a mile a minute.

The fellow is attached to a common Bock-away car- .rlage. the shafts of which serve to support him in a ver-

tical position. These shafts are two bars of iron which are made fhot in the usual manner to the front axle of the carriage. and are curved so as to be joined to a cir- cular sustaining bar. which passes around'tho waist. like a girth. and in which the man maven so as to face in . any direction. Besides these motions. machinery has been arranged b which the tigers can be thrown back- ward or form from a vertical. nearly forty-ave dc- rccs. This is done in order to enable it to ascend or I ascend all grades To the soles of the feet spikes or corks are fixed which erenzualiy prevent slipping. The whole anhir is no Iirmiy, sustained by the shafts and has no excellent a foot hold that two men are unable to push .it over. or in any wayto throw it down. In order to enable it to stop quickly. it. is provided with two sppll~ slices. one of which will. as before stated. throw it. back- ward from the‘vcrtlcul, while the other bends the knees in a directh n opposite to the natural pOsltlon.

A“ “Pm! Ii 05‘» WWII is arranged in front oftho dash board. a w thin easy "Lech of the trout seats. sustains two miniature pilot wheels. by the turning of which. these “Salons motions and evolutions are directed. It is expected that a sufficiently large amount of coal can be stowed away under the back seat of the carriage to work the engine for a day. and enough water in a tank under the front seat to last halfs day.

In order toprevent ‘~ the giant" from frightening horses .by its wonderful appearance. iir. Dcddrick intends to

. clothe it and give it an nearly as posoible a likeness to

. the rent of humanity. The boiler and such parts as are necessarily heated will be encased in felt or woolen un- der garments. l'nntu. coat and rent. of the latest styles. are provided. Whenever the tires need cooling. which is every twa or three hours. the driver stops the ma- chine. descends from bin sent. unbuttons " Daniel’s" vest. openo adoor. pliovcla in the fuel. buttons up the vest and drives on. On the back between the aholderu the steam cocks and gauges are placed As these would cause the coat to set awkwardly. a knapsack has been provided which completely covers them. A blanket neatly rolled up and placed on tape! the knapsack iper— fecta the delusion. ,Thc thee is moulded into a cheerful countenance of white ennmcl which contrasts well with the dark hair and moustache. Ashcet iron hat with a gauge top acts as a smoke stack.

The cost of this " iirut man" is 02.000. though the ma- kers. Messrs. Deddrick d Grass. expect to manufacture succeeding once. warranted to run a year without re-

. for .300. The same parties expect to construct. . on the same principle. horses which will do the duty of ten or twelve ordinary animals of the same species. These. it is confidently believed. can housed alihebcfbre carriages. streetcars and ploughe. The man now con- structed can make his way without diliiculty over any .irroguiar suriheo whose rats and stones are Itot more than nine inches above the level of the road.

Messrs. Bnlcn h Crane. at whose works this wonder- an nihir has been built, have Just completed a hardly less marvellous. though by no means as novel nmnchlnc. It is a, leather splitter for the Newark Patent Leather

, Company. It is so nicely constructed an to split. with «sound fhcllity. hides to such extreme lhlnncus that a _ variation in the halves of a’frsctional port of the thick» loss of a sheet of writing paper. would destroy the work. The machine in toibc'sest to l'arie within a few

. days.

Wm: an il-Joucnrn Max Onemr ro Known—Rus- kin spye :—-" An educated man ought to know three things; first. where he is—that is to say. what kind of a world he has got into; how large it is; what kind of creatures live in it. and how; shit it is made of. and what may be made of it. Secondly. where he is going «that is to say. what chances or reports there are of any other world besides: what seems to he the nature of that other world.

EIOIIT ro Sixrunx.-—Lord Shuflnhury recently utn ted in a )uiilie meeting- in London. that. from persond obscrvat on. be has ascertained that of adult male crim- inals in that city. nearly all had fallen in the course of crime between the ages of eight and sixteen years; and that lfa young man lived an honest life up to twenty years of age. ihere Were forty-nine chances in favor and

i one against him. no to an honorable life thereafter. ' 'l’hie is is fact of singular importance to fathers and mo-

thers. and shows a fearful responsibility. Certainly. a parent should secure and exercise absolute control over the cirlld under seventeen. It cannot be a difficult Inst- terto do this, except in very rare cases; and if that control is not very wisely and efficiently exercised. ll must be the parent‘s fault. it Is owing to the parental neglect or remileneal. Hence the real source of nine- ly-eight per cent. ofa real crime in a country such an England or the United States. lies at the door of parents It is a fearful reflection.

Au Asrostsmxo CLAP or TIIannn.-—A family in the country has been losing stove-wood for aeveral weeks post. On the return of the family a few days aiuce. the case was stated, and on Sundays pretty piece of fuel was placed on the pile with the others. In the slick were two ounces of powder for safe keeping. Monday the stick was there—Tuesday the stick was there. and the laugh was getting on the man who fixed it. Wednesday morning the stick was gone. Wednes~ day morning an explosion was heard in a house near by, and the kitchen one spared no panes. A kettle of oabb e was that up through the roof like an arrow. Some oiling soup made a map on the Ceiling. The cat has not been heard of since. but a smell of burnt hair pervades that house. The ooeu ant oi the ruin says: "Such tender never room per ore.

Mr. E. Cunard. has written a letter to a Boston merchant with reference to the ex erlcnce of the line at that port. He says that during t past autumn they have been sending to En lead an avers e ofNKlO tons of frei t a week. or 10.030 tons a moot . in their ships from ew York. and have been unable to get 500 or 000 tons of freight at lioston. at one~haif the rates chor- ged in New York. Boston shippers complained of pay- mg lie. atun when they were getla to... to 00s. in New York. and they have taken freight as low as 5.. a ion from Boston. and even for nothing. He adds that much of the small amount of freight obtained in Boston was sent from New York. the lower charge in dinotcn being the inducement.

A sin ular reason for refining parish relief to a pov- erty etv ~keu old man was given by the klayor of Brdgewntsr, who is also Che rmsn of the Board of Guardians. the other day.

St. Louis is again alarmed at the danger of becoming an inland town. A careful examination the city eliciale the other day revealed the fact that the ioseuri. which die- -dhargeo into the Mississippi some twenty miles above. sends its volumes of water at right angles across with such force against the Illinois shore auto have worn it away nearly half a mile. There is some danger of the river Ina- king a channel through the American bottom. so as to leave St. Louis two miles from lhewtream.
