The Scientific American says: "This instrument is in- 
tended to supersede a number of separate tools used in the 
shop of the mechanic. It is usedasa spirit level, try-square, 
clinometer, bevel protractor, etc., and is suitable for the 
machinist, wood-worker, draftsman, and surveyor. 
The instrument is a rectangular metallic frame or box, on the sides of which are secured graded semicircles. In the top 
la ecated the tube ot" a spirit level. Pivoted at the center uear the bottom is a steel frame with heart-shaped apertures in 
Its side to permit the figures on thescaie to be seen when the frame is set at any amrle. A thumb-screw with a slidimr block 
secures the pivoted frame in any position desired. The whole instrument is capable of being carried in the pocket, and 
Doing wholly of metal-steel and brass-will not be easily broken. 
The machinist will tlnd it handy in linishimr up six square nuts, in setting the planer bead to cut bevels, and in various 
other operations. The pattern maker can record the ansrles of his work by its means so that the. finisher can work exact 
to the original design or pattern. The carpenter and joiner can employ it in laying out their work and also in fitting it. It 
ftl80 a handy article for the use of engineers, surveyors, and others who mav be employed in running lines or locating

Gardeners all use it in preference to any other, and to show 
how highly it is esteemed in this marke't, we will state that 
it sold readily at $r>.00 per ounce the past season, and all 
were well satisfied that it is the best variety for cither early 
or late planting ; every plant produces a iroodliead, when 
fully grown, weighing from 20 to 30 lbs., and requiring only 
ordinary cultivation; the quality is excellent. Mr. John 
Stone, of Marblehead, Mass., theo'rignatorof the well-known

it far superior to any Drumhead lie has ever seen ; he has 
raised good sized heads the past season in S-*> days from plant- 
ing the seed. We warrant our stock the purest in the coun- 
try. For sale in 25 or 50 cent packages.
