New Invented Saw Mill, a patent having been obtained for a saw mill on a new construction, it is now offered for public inspection, and any person wishing to use the same may be supplied with a right on moderate terms.

The advantage of this mill over one constructed with a crank, arises from its working by means of a lever of an optional length, so applied as to create and up and down or circular motion, by this means it has the advantage of ten feet to two, of purchase; and the lever being on a balance, has thus a tendecy to throw off the friction from the wheels of the machinery; The lever runs but on third of the circumference with the strain of the saw when cutting, the other two thirds runs entirely clear, by which you regain the motion the stroke of the saw in some measure retards.

This is allowed to be the only construction which, after getting a certain motion also gains power, owing to its leaving the works so clear of friction.

The crank at one foot from the centre has to lift the saw and frame of perhaps 400 lb wt. before the works can be put in motion; when the lever at three feet has not to raise 5 lb.

Ii is supposed that one half of the head of water applied to crank mills will do the same execution if applied to one of their construction.

This mill will be found to be of great use in a flat country where there is no fall of water as it can be easily worked to great advantage by horses or oxen. It can also be sucessfully applied to the sawing of marble, pumping of water for breweries and several other purposes.

Any person wishing to see the nature and utility of the above invention, is referred to the saw mill at Corlears hook, or to James Hallet Jun. No 9 Beekman Street.—New-York Daily Advertiser, June 14, 1798.

Fire Control in Houses.—Fire. Mr. Taylor finding that there are many persons who doubt the possibility of securing houses, &c. from the ravages or accidental fires, and others who admit, yet imagine that a chemical preparation of some kind is necessary, think it proper to set the public (for whose benefit his inventions are intended) right, of informing them briefly,

1. That his method for preventing whole houses or a single room from being destroyed by fire, for which he obtained a patent, are simple, certain and permanent, and do not depend upon any chemical preparation whatever.

2. That he stops the spread of accidental fire, by rendering those parts of a house the most exposed to, and the least qualified for resisting the force of, fire, secure with solid materials, as any pavements.

3. Air being the active principle of fire, he hinders its admission and escape by closing the doors and windows and the chimney (if there be one in the room where the fire begins) by a valve, in consequence of which, any further progress of the fire is greatly retarded, if not wholly stopped, by the suffocating power of its own smoke.

This chimney valve is so contrived, that on the approach of any extraordinary degree of flame, it closes, by which means, if the chimney only happens to take fire, it will extinquish itself instantly, without giving trouble or alarm to anyone.

4. That it provides for the immediate Retention of the accidental fires; a reservoir under the floor of the house, to be filled with rain water, in which to augment its extenguishing power, he dissolves a quantity of pot ash. This water is to be conducted down the stair way, by a pipe, from whence it may on emergency be conveyed without loss of time to any part of the house where the fire may happen to begin.

5. These reservoirs will be found useful in preserving houses from accidental fires that may happen within but also a certain defence against the approach of any neighboring conflagration. They will also be found an effectual security to high and extensive ranges of warehouses, built wholly of timber, which on account of their situation on wharfs, &c. cannot always, in case of fire, be surrounded by men and engines, collected to extinquish the flames. Note. Those who secure their own workmen; his price for superintending the securing of a single room, in the city, is five dollars.

He also undertakes the remedying any imperfections in the ventilation of houses or chimnies, which occassions their smoaking. No. 13 Fair Street, New York.—The Diary; or Evening Register, July 11, 1794.

Wages.—To the Public. A considerable Number of the principal Journeymen Carpenters in this City, think it incumbent on them to lay before the impartial Public, the following Impositions which the Masters have long practiced.

The Master Carpenters have long made it a pratice to employ Journeymen, (so very ignorant of their business, that even some of them have been at a loss to know the right end of their tools,) upon very low wages, while they charge the employer 12s. per day, the wages only paid to good workmen, and from which they have 1s. 6d. per day; for what reason? Because their ignorant Journeymen are taught by us, what the Masters ought to instruct them in.

About 12 of these Master Carpenters having agreed to reduce our Wages to 9s. per day, but still charging the employer 10s. 6d. and positively insist on having the above allowance made them, even should the wages be reduced to 6s. per day, we now submit our case to every candid Reader, who undoubtedly will justify our conduct in putting a stop to such iniquitous practices; therefore, in order to do justice to ourselves and the Public in general, we a select number of workmen, who know our Business, and are determined not to be imposed upon, will engage to finish any piece of work that Gentlemen may be pleased to employ us upon,...sending orders to Mr. Aaron Aarson's....The Journeymen Carpenters.

President's Barge.—Thursday last, between 2 and 3 o'clock P. M. the Most Illustrious President of the U. S. arrived in this city. At Elizabethtown, he was received by a deputation of three Senators and five Representatives of the United States—..and three Officers of the State and Corporation—with whom he embarked on board the Barge, built for the purpose of wafting him across the Bay. Thirteen Pilots in white uniforms rowed this Barge, Thomas Randall, Esq., acting as Cockswain. It is impossible to do justice in an attempt to describe the scene exhibited on his Excellency's approach to the city. Innumerable multitudes thronged the shores, the wharves, and the shipping, waiting with pleasing anticipation his arrival. His Catholick Majesty's Sloop of War, the Galviston, the Ship North Carolina (Mr. Dohrman's) and other vessels were dressed, manned and highly decorated. His Excellency's Barge was accompanied by several other Barges, in one of which were the Hon. the Board of the Treasury, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Secretary of War, besides a long train of vessels and boats from New-Jersey and New-York. As he passed the Galviston, she fired a salute of 13 guns. The ship, North Carolina, and the Battery, also welcomed his approach with the same number. The whole water scene was highly animated—moving in regular order—the grand Gala formed an object the most interesting imaginable. On his Excellency's arrival at the stairs, prepared and ornamented, at Murray's Wharf, for his landing, he was saluted by Col. Bauman's artillery, and received and congratulated by his Excellency the Governour, and the Officers of the State and Corporation—from whence the procession moved in the following order....The procession moved through Queen Street to the House prepared for the reception of the President—from whence he was conducted, without form, to the Governour's where his Excellency dined.

This great occasion arrested the publick attention beyond all powers of description—the hand of industry was suspended—and the various pleasures of the Capital were concentrated to a single enjoyment. All ranks and professions expressed their feelings in loud acclamations, and with rapture hailed the arrival of the Father of His Country.—Gazette of the United States, April 25, 1789.

Marine Ventilators invented by Mr. Benjamin Wynkoop, for ventilating ships, may justly be numbered with the most important nautical improvements. The simplicity, durability, and Compact structure of the machines, are peculiarly adapted to the purpose for which they were designed; and their constant vibration, produced by the motion of the ship alone, will keep the air in free circulation throughout the remotest parts of the ship. Those who are immediately acquainted with the injurious effects of foul air on the health of the persons on board ships, and on perishable Cargoes, as well as the frames of ships, will justly appreciate their worth. It excites astanishment that a subject of such magnitude should have been so long neglected, when we take into view, the still more important consideration of the fatal effects produced by the introduction of pestilential diseases into our ports. Those diseases in many instances are doubtless generated on board of ships (not ventilated) by the putrid exhalations from perishible materials on board, which are ultimately discharged on our shores, and like Pandora's box spread disease and desolation thro our flourishing Cities.

These remarks are a result of the beneficial effect experienced from two such ventilators on board the brig Benjamin Franklin, on her late passage from Bourdeaux. Her Cargo was altogether wines, near 800 HHDS. of which were Claret wines; it is liable to fermentation, and consequently very considerable loss; the Cargo was landed in the most perfect order perhaps ever witnessed on a similar Cargo, after filling up the Casks the loss did not exceed one and a half per cent.

By the operation of the ventilators the hold was kept perfectly cool, the bilge water free from smell, and the paint work not in the least discolored. On his voyage previous to the construction of the ventilators on board, the reverse of all this was the case, and only 90 HHDS. of wine on board.

Two ventilators which are amply sufficient for any ship, will not occupy the space of four barrels of flour.—The Spectator. April 11, 1798.

He has made upon an improved plan, and has ready for sale, a few of those truly useful Machines, called Bidets, so much used in England and France, and so generally in all warm climates; their utility is not only in the personal cleanliness and comfort attending the use of them, but in the salutary invigorating and bracing effect, which the applicatioin of a partial cold Bath affords to both sexes. Particularly where the constitution is relaxed by nature or accident. The celebrated doctor Graham in his admired Lectures upon the preservation of Health and Vigour and on the renovating of constitutions injured by luxurious excesses, particularly recommends the daily use of Bidets filled with the coldest water, and has exhibited various proofs of their efficacy in removing imbecility and barreness, which the use of all the restorative medicines has failed to produce.

He also makes, on the most improved construction, a small convenient apparatus for the purpose of a Shower Bath, which from its size can be used in a dressing room or bedchamber without any detriment to the room and furniture; the use of the shower Bather is recommended by the most eminent physicians, particularly where violent shock is required to quicken the circulation of the blood, and to brace the constitution weakened and relaxed by climate or excess.

Many people who are sensible of the salutary effects of the Cold Bath, are prevented from the use of them, from situation and the inconvenient distance of a proper place for the purpose; this apparatus furnishes that convenience immediately and by the use of six or eight gallons of cold water the body is as much refreshed, and the diseases, for which bathing is a remedy are as effectually relieved by means of the simple machine, and by the use of an extensive Cold Bath.

He has also for sale, Willard's much esteemed patent clock Jacks, they are valuable above the other roast meat jacks, being moveable, and may be used in any room. They require less fire, and will roast meat in a shorter time than any other now in use. use.
