varying lengths of saw blade. The bearing is 

 mounted on a knife-edge and fitted with the 

 makers' patent sensitive straining device and 

 maintaining an even tension of the blades at 

 all times. The lower wheel is solid (webbed) 

 and its weight gives it a momentum which con- 

 tinually controls the movement of the lighter 

 upper wheel. It also lessens the circulation 

 of dust and prevents vibration. The machine 

 has an iron table, 24 x 26 inches, which angles 

 to 45 degrees, and is securely locked in any 

 position. The upper guide, which is the new 

 roller type, is carried on a square bar, which 

 insures permanent alignment. It has a vertical 

 adjustment for any distance up to 12 inches 

 above the table. Particulars of all the types 

 of this firm's wood-working machinery may be 

 found in its catalogue. It will be sent on 

 request; and, at the same time, remember to 

 ask for the band-saw and sander books. Ad-
