 Among the novelties attracting general attention, there was 

 in Mr. Griffin's collection an old fashioned wooden mould-

The sled shoes of Mr. Burnham are a device principally

 is made of ctTst-iron and steel. There is a slot running the 

 whole length of the shoe, through which a plate of steel is
