 ANOTHER ELECTRO-MAGNETIC MACHINE. 



We called on Tuesday to witness the results of 

 Dr. Charles G. Page's investigations with reler- 

 ence to the application of electro-magnetism as a 

 moving power. He has a variety of models illus- 

 trating vibratory, oscillating, reciprocating and ro- 

 tary movements by clianging the polesof a voltaic 

 magnet. The rotary motion is that used as a 

 source of power. We have watched with some 

 apprehension experiments upon this subject, but 

 having seen one of his engines in operation, we 

 are convinced that the apt)lication of this power is 

 beyond a question. Dr. Page says that the patent 

 secured for Davenport's machine cannot interfere 

 with him, as he commenced his researches a long 

 time since, and produced his models some time 

 prior to Davenport's application for a patent. He
