that  it  is  deserving  of  special  comment.  This 
firm  has  from  time  to  time  made  and  introduced 
improvements  in  parlor  and  cahinet  organs,  but 
their  last  novelty.  Waters  Orchestrian  Chimes  is 
in  advance  of  anything  heretofore  to  offend  to 
the  musical  public. 
The  instrument  has  12  stops,  including  a  dul- 
ciana,  concerto,  piccolo,  vox  humana  and  tremolo, 
not  to  mention  the  Chimes  which  is  its  chief 
distinction.  In  volume,  piulty  and  resonance  of 
tone,  it  more  resembles  a  full  organ  than  a  cab¬ 
inet  instrument,  ytd.  it  is' sweet  and  soft  as  a  lute 
when  this  effect  is  desired.  Its  action  is  easy 
and  sprightly,  and  rare  thing,  the  Chimes  are 
positively  musical !  Tlie  0.086  is  couveuience

It  seems  that  the  Legislature  of  tlio  Ktato  of

and  $j;i,000.  While  the  plans  of  the  building 
wore  under  odvisemeut  by  the  Conunittoo,  the 
Centennial  Commission  made  an  offer  of  the  use 
of  a  part  of  the  Poiiiological  Duilding  for  tins

altered  to  be  in  every  way  as  large  and  available

Abbestos  is  the  Bphinx  of  minerals — one  can 
never  guess  at  the  extent  of  its  jiossibilities. 
Tliore  is  an  exhibit  at  the  Centennial,  in  Ma-

THE  “DEXTER”  SPRING, 
Abhebtos  ok  Commebce. 
ti’acted  by  the  signs  of  fixid,  crowded  forward  to 
refresh  the  inner  man.  The  niifortnnato  waiter 
girls  were  at  their  wits'  end  to  snpjjly  the  unu¬ 
sual  demauil,  when  Erother  Hawley,  whoso  olo- 
queuco  upon  the  Salt  <]iieHtion  has  enchained 
ttiousands  of  dairymen  at  the  different  conven¬ 
tions,  Htepjiod  into  Mie  breach  and  helped  tho 
jMXir  gills  to  wait  on  the  tables.  I  always  knew 
the  old  gentleman  was  kiud-hearteil,  especially 
where  tho  opiKisite  sex  appealed  to  him,  hut 
this  spectacle  almost  brought  tears  to  my  eyes. 
Mr.  Poijo,  failing  to  carry  Ids  point  against  the 
restaurant,  made  strennous  objections  to  iho  use 
for  such  purposes  of  the  large  room  designetl  for 
[lacking  and  preparing  cheese  for  exhibition. 
In  this  ho  was  snstaiaod  by  the  Commlssiou, 
and  the  waiter  girls  have  been  looked  out  of  this 
room.  It  appears  ,to  have  been  very  inconve¬ 
nient  to  Elanding,  Hawley  A  Co.,  as  theyconld 
have  filled  tho  room  ovory  mid-day  with  cash  cus¬ 
tomers  for  thoir  soup  and  crackers.  Accordingly 
tliis  gallant  firm  of  Centennial  caterers  at  once  1 
pronounced  Mr.  Poiio  entirely  incomiietent  for 
his  position  of  .Snjierintondcnt  and  made  charges 
against  liim,  accompanied  with  a  demand  for  Ins 
immediate  removal  and  an  aiiology  for  their 
Tiiih  is  a  novel  application  of  spring  power 
that  has  passed  through  its  oxperiinontal  exi.st- 
etice,  and  is  now  a  well-tided  and  assured  success. 
Tho  Dexter  Spring  Co.,  Ilulton,  Ea.,  during  a 
business  exiKTicnco  of  three  years,  have  sold 
over  8,f)00  springs,  an  unusual  circiimstaneo. 
They  have  yet  to  hear  from  a  purchaser  who  is  not 
well  [ileased  with  his  investment,  while  the  auto¬ 
graph  letters  in  commendation  of  the  article  are 
nattering  to  an  extreme  degree. 
Tho  [Kiints  claimed  for  this  spring  are : 
fitrengf.h.  Durability,  Boauty,  Cheapness,  and 
that  it  is  Graceful,  Noiseless,  Light  and  of  Easy 
Mol  ion. 
The  Dexter  consists  essentially  of  two  '‘con¬ 
cord  "  or  Riile-sjuiiigs  n|Min  each  side,  one  spring 
above  the  other  and  ji.'»rallel  to  it.  The  two 
springs  are  rigidly  attached  to  eiu'li  other  at  their 
centres,  and  are  pivoted  at  their  ends  to  spring 
links  above,  or  on  either  side  of  axle  and  spring 
bar.  Tho  spring  links  ai'o  rigidly  attached  to 
the  hoad-bloek  and  rear  axle  respectively. 
The  [larallel  motion  of  tlie  Hprings  prevents 
rocking  of  the  axles.  One  sjiring  being  above 
tho  other  prevents  side  motion  and  tlie  settling 
of  the  body  to  one  side.  The  absence  of  a  reach 
allows  either  wheel  to  pass  over  an  olmtniction 
almost  indejieudently  of  the  other  wheels.  The 
ela.sticity  of  the  springs  takes  much  strain  off 
the  fifth  wheel,  and  cushions  the  stroke  when 
striking  an  uhstiuelion. 
The  slatted  frame  or  body  is  held  at  its  centre, 
and  is  free  at  each  end. 
No  extra  braces  are  needed  to  hold  the  wheels 
in  track,  sineo  every  strain  tending  to  throw  tho 
wheels  out  of  track  conies  ii[)on  the  slatted  frame 
or  body,  in  a  direction  diagonal  to  its  length, — 
the  strongest  direction  |ajssiblo.  'J'he  Dexter 
has  greater  eiiiiabiliUas  of  carrying  a  light  load 
easily,  and  again  of  sustaining  a  heavy  load  and 
carrying  it  easier.  Tho  workinaiiship  i«  as  per¬ 
fect  as  skilled  labor  can  produce.  Tho  irons 
used  are  of  the  host  and  the  springs  are  cast 
steel,  oil  tempered. 
M.  Grier  the  Sec.  of  the  company,  exhibits 
this  spring  in  the  K.  W.  corner  of  the  Carriage 
Annex  Centennial  Exhibition,  where  he  also  has 
a  buck  wagon  that  is  used  to  practically  test  the 
qualities  of  the  spring.  YVe  rude  in  this  wagon 
over  a  vacant  lot,  near  the  grounds.  Tho  apace 
was  filled  with  heaps  of  rocks  and  rubbish  in  hil¬ 
locks,  and  tho  horse  and  wagon  were  driven  over 
and  into  this  stuff  in  a  way  that  would  have 
wrecked  an  ordinary  contrivance,  yet  tho  motion 
waa  not  very  violent,  and  the  siiriugs  were  not 
strained  in  the  least.  Such  a  test  is,  we  think, 
conclusive.

It  was  a 
famous  coveilug  for  bodies  about  to  he  cremated, 
as  tho  ashes  could  bo  gathered  up  so  iiioely  af¬ 
ter  tho  “  flring-iip  ”  process  was  completed. 
Tho  art  of  weaving  Bshostos  was,  nntil  quite  re- 
oenUy,  a  lost  one.  An  Italian  Count  has  latterly 
discovered  the  secrets  of  tho  ancients  and  is 
about  to  reHurreet  the  jirticeHs.  Tho  amiaiitliiis 
of  the  aucient.H  is  now  apjilieff  only  to  the  more 
silky  and  finer  kinds. 
Asbestos  varies  in  color  from  white  to  green 
and  wood-brown.  The  individual  crystals  are 
elastic,  flexible,  and  have  a  line  lustre.  The 
finest  varieties  come  from  Italy,  but  our  own 
country  fnrniHlies  tho  mineral  in  large  quanti¬ 
ties,  notably.  New  Y'ork,  North  Carolina,  Mary¬ 
land,  Pennsylvania  and  Y’irginia.  The  ilhi.stra- 
tion  above  gives  a  some  what  accurate  idea  of  the 
abostos  of  commerce. 
NotwitliKtainling  tho  mineral  was  .so  well  known 
in  former  time.s,  it  remained  for  Amerienu  in¬ 
dustry  to  evolve  the  highest  [loasihililies.  It  is 
to  the  credit  of  Mr.  11.  W.  Johns,  of  New  Y'ork, 
that  ho  has,  tlirougli  untiring  industry,  been 
snccessful  in  shaping  asbestos  into  various  forms 
tliat  renders  it  available  for  a  multiplicity  of  pnr- 
jioBos  liitherto  undreamt  of. 
Knowing  that  it  waa  aEsolntely  fire-proof, 
suggested  the  idea  that  it  would  make  tho  best 
of  roofing  material ;  and  as  the  mineral  can  bo 
sjnui,  woven,  or  felted,  while  yet  retaining  its 
fibrous  nature,  it  became  a  valuable  roof-cover¬ 
ing,  a  parity  of  reasoning  caused  its  ajiiilication 
as  a  steam  packing,  and  finally  it  was  detennined 
to  trv  wbat  could  be  done  with  asbestos  as  a 
paint. 
It  receives  and  contains  the  most  brilliant 
colors,  and  experimout  soon  demonstrated  that 
a  superior  paint  could  be  produced, 
iiiout.  This  roused  Mr.  I’ope,  who,  iu  tmn, 
mrele  serious  charges  against  botli  Elanding 
and  Hawlo}',  acAiusiug  the  one  of  iiitomporato 
habits  and  the  other  of  imiiropcr  conduct,  and 
aski'il  for  an  investigation  of  the  whole  affairs 
of  the  Dairy  Exhibition  by  iho  Chief  of  the  Eii- 
rcaii  of  Agrieulinre.  Accompanying  his  charges 
was  a  request  tliat  certain  persons  of  both  sexes 
should  he  forbidden  to  occupy  quarters  dining 
the  night  in  the  Dairy  Building.  The  last  re¬ 
quest  was  So  eminently  proper  that  tlie  prohibi¬ 
tion  was  made  at  once  and  the  mnuber  limited 
to  those  who  wei'o  absolnlely  necessary  in  car¬ 
rying  on  tho  instilut  ion. 
Tho  Dairy  Committee  were  called  together  by 
Mr.  Hawley  for  the  pnr]ioso  of  declaring  Mr. 
PoivG  ineomiietcnt  and  roquestiiig  his  removal ; 
but  they  did  not  make  their  appearance.  Judg¬ 
ing  from  tho  fact  that  Mr.  Arnold  aAlviscd  Popo 
to  resign  and  then  (Esappoared  from  PhiJadel- 
jihia,  3  should  say  that  lie,  too,  is  iu  full  sympa¬ 
thy  with  the  “  Eating-House  King,”  hut  intends 
to  do  his  fighting  from  a  safe  [ilueo. 
Mr.  Pope  says  he  is  not  only  competent  to  be 
Rujieriuteiideiit,  but  is  equally  eouipeteut  to  take 
caie  of  hiiiiseir  and  doesn't  propose  to  allow 
himself  to  be  driven  away  by  any  snob  element 
as  is  now  seelcing  lua  removal.  He  intends  to 
demand  Blanding’s  accounts,  and  expects  very  in¬ 
teresting  develoinnonts  upon  their  presentation. 
So  stands  the  record  to-day  of  one  of  the  most 
disgraceful  prostitutions  of  an  im]iortant  inter¬ 
est  Miat  this  country  has  ever  seen,  and  any  one 
who  uttrihiitos  the  above  statement  to  any  other 
than  a  simiilo  desire  to  state  facts,  has  only  to 
make  a  thorough  investigation  to  discover  its 
truth.  That  tlie  Dairy  Exliihition  is  a  total 
failure  and  that  the  Committee  intrusted  with 
its  management  have  resolved  themselves  into  a 
set  of  squabblers  over  spoils  arc  facts  which 
no  one  can  deny  who  knows  anything  about  tbe 
affair.  A  Committee  which  should  have  been 
above  iho  brcatli  of  suspicion  have  failed  to  retain 
the  confidence  of  oven  the  careless  Commission, 
who  intrusted  them  with  the  entire  conti'ol  and 
management  of  this  special  Exhibition.  That 
there  are  puro-minded  men  on  tliis  Committee 
there  can  be  no  doubt ;  but  their  neghgence  of 
their  Must  must  have  equaled  their  purity,  or 
tbe  whole  Exhibition  could  not  have  sunk  to  its 
present  depths. 
ding  house  was  all 
right.  They  acccjitod  Reall's  lesignation  and  re¬ 
fused  to  investigate  themselves,  all  of  which  was 
cininoutly  [iropcr  under  tlie  circumstances.  The 
affairs  of  the  Committee  then  iirogressod  very 
smoothly  in  every  way,  oxccqit  that  the  Exhibi¬ 
tion,  for  which  aU  the  money  was  spout,  did  not 
exist.  Peiqile  did  not  send  iuittor  or  cheese. 
IMr.  Elanding,  having  finished  this  cheese  pal¬ 
ace,  found  himself  immensely  out  of  pocket  and 
asked  his  fellow-laborers  (I  behove  that  is  the 
word)  to  [lermit  him  to  run  an  eating-house  in 
the  building.  Ooncos.sion  was  obtained  for  that 
purpose  from  the  Commission  and  a  rosolntion 
offered  in  the  D.airy  Committee  to  give  the  en¬ 
tire  control  fnut  profils  of  the  restaurant  to 
Elanding.  Hero  began  the  little  unpleasantr 
ness.  Pope  objected— nay,  protested.  Eut  tho 
balance  of  the  Committee  wore  better-hearted 
than  Pope.  They  felt  sori-y  for  poor  Elanding, 
who  could  only  gut  $10,000  for  a  $(1,500  hnildiug. 
They  [lassed  the  resolution,  and  I’ope  recorded 
himself  in  the  negative. 
Me.anwhilu  Harris  Lewis,  who  is  nothing  if  he 
is  not  .as  oummig  as  a  weasel,  had  been  sending 
communications  to  the  various  nowspaivers,  de¬ 
fending  the  Rixo,  to  all  of  which  ho  forgot  to 
sign  his  name. 
Y'esterday,  while  on  the  ground,  I  went  through 
the  building.  I  saw  a  few  cheeses,  no  butter, 
and  a  beggarly  array  of  implements  for  manu¬ 
facture.  Those  were  contuined  in  about  oiie- 
balf  of  the  first  story.  In  the  other  half  of  this 
lloor  there  were  elegant  rows  of  empty  dis¬ 
play  stands,  which  presented  tlie  appearance  of 
circus  seats  before  the  audience  have  been  ad¬

Not  con¬ 
tent  with  tills  groat  advance  in  the  manipulation 
of  asbestos,  Mr.  Johns  has  gone  still  further 
and  made  an  absolutely  fire-proof  cement  that, 
comhiued  with  other  minerals  forma  an  elastic, 
adhesive  compound  that  is  easily  applied,  and 
possesses  a  degree  of  toughness  and  durability 
that  leaves  nothing  to  he  desii'od.  Tho  applica¬ 
tions  of  these  various  products  of  this  protean 
minei  al  will  suggest  themselves  to  the  mind  of 
the  reader  mneh  more  rapidly  than  they  can  be 
described. 
Mr.  Johns  commenced  manufacturing  in  1858, 
confining  himself  to  roofing  materials,  and  from 
time  to  time  has  introduced  tho  various  other 
[iroducts,  until  up  to  the  present  time,  when  he 
is  enabled  to  make  a  display  to  the  nations  of  the 
world  that  command  the  respectful  admii’atiuii 
of  thousands,  and  compel  the  Grand  Medal  of 
Merit,  and  Diploma  of  Honor  at  the  hands  of 
tho  Jurors  of  Awaids  apijoiuted  by  the  Ceiiten- 
uial  Commission.  Aside  from  its  interest  as  a 
curious,  and  interesting  display,  it  will  well  repay 
our  readers  who  have  yet  to  visit  the  Centennial 
to  give  this  exhibit  careful  study,  as  it  embraces 
materials  that  will  at  once  appeal  to  their  prac¬
