A recent issue of the Mercantile and 
Financial Times contains a descriptive ac- 
count of the growth of the business of the 
Philadelphia Lawn Mower Co., fiom which 
we quote the following : “There are more 
than a score of distinct styles of ‘Phila- 
delphia’ lawn mowers shown in the man- 
ufacturers’ catalog for 1913. Probably the 
most notable are the season’s new Graham 
style machines, in 15, 17, 19 and 21-inch 
sizes, which are all steel, have no front 
rod to prevent close approach to trees, 
posts, etc. : have cylinders (F/2 inches in 
diameter and four spiral and one station- 
ary blade made of Vanadium crucible 
steel, 10-inch driving wheels with a train 
of gears on each side, and removable box 
caps to facilitate the withdrawal of the 
cylinder when the blades need sharpening. 
Forty-four years ago, in 1869, the first 
side-wheel lawn mower ever constructed 
was made here in Philadelphia by the firm 
of Graham, Emlen & Passmore. The new 
implement was named ‘Philadelphia,’ after 
the city of its birth, and though crude 
enough when compared with the lawn 
mowers of today, it created a revolution 
in the turf cropping, grass cutting methods 
of its own period, Since 1859 that first 
‘Philadelphia’ lawn mower has had a suc- 
cession of legitimate descendants and the 
members of each generation have improved 
in some more or less important detail over 
their predecessors.”

L. H. Olmsted's Sons, Plasbrouck 
Heights, N. J., who manufacture a device 
for trapping ground moles, issue an inter- 
esting little book on “Ground Moles : Their 
Habits and How to Catch Them,” that 
gives much practical information about 
these annoying borers that have become 
nuisances in some grounds. The Olmsted 
mole trap consists of a frame A, con- 
structed with two cross bars in which are
