The first object of interest as we enter thu machine shop, is the planing machine fr phmiug iivu, This is a very ingenious and lahor-stiv ing maobiin'. Ii coiisihts of a sliding bed plale of cist iron, with uprights which contain a stein of screws, Arc, designed to bold the chisel which does the planing.

The casting intended to be planed i-i placed upon ihu ed and securely fixed, the wedge-shaped chisel adjusted, and tho gear being shipped, the bed-plate moves forward and brings tho iron in contact with tho chisel, which removes a th i-ving from the casting. The bed plate hav-ing advaivt'd till the em of it reaches tho chisel, comes in contact with a lover, which, ii.Hing upon others, shifts the geir lo another pully which runs in nn opposite direction and instantly rolls tho bedplate back to its phn the levers are again moved by it, tho gear is replaced, and the casting is ngaiu force 1 against the uhUel, which has in the meantime, by a portion of the same system of levers, been moved a little laterally, sons cut a fresh shaving. We nro not sine that wo have aeeiiiatcly described this beautiful machine, but we ti list we have taid enough to give some idea of it. Near to this is a large machine for turn ing nnd polishing shafts an operation Generally performed bv means of fiiin Ac, but which is much more easily and ell'e -iualiy j-ei formed by this machine. In another part of tho room workmen may bo ttirninir and polishing the larirn cast iron pulleys used in mills and factories, to carry the gearing of machinery, white others aie engagea in oormg noies in various parts of them, and performing other operations upon them preparatory to sending them out to bo ercted in mills, itc.

It would require more time and space than we have to spare, to enumerate and deseiihe all these processes, which arc-however, interesting and worthy a visit nil. We must nut, however, neglect to notice the Paten'. Slotting Machine, invented by Parley Williams, a former member uf the linn. The cutting of blots by hand is a difficult and tedious process, but by this machine it is performed with and case. It consists of an upright cylinder, standing upon a cast iron frame.

Through the cylinder passes a steel chisel which has a notch cut iu it. The pulb intended to be slotted placed on the cylinder, a crank-wheel ii set in inition, an I the chisel is carried down through ihe cylinder, and the rectangular edire of the notch cuts ihe slot as it defends. Uevels may also be cut by this ingenious machine. With this we must close. To those who are desirous of seeing enterprise nnd industry rewarded, it will, doubtless, be pleasant to know that Messrs.

Williams, I aid, Co. hav had their anticipations realized by an influx of business so large indeed as to render an enlargement of their ostaUUhment necessary. This rn-birgeineiit they contemplate making this summer, nnd we trust that success may attend the enterprise. K. R.

As we enter the foimdiy we see the Humidors engaged in practicing their beautiful art. -Description can give but a poor idea of the delicate process by which the moulds into which the melted iron is poured to form castings, aie made.

It should ho witnessed and doubtless h-is been by most (if your readeis, and we wiil therefore proceed todesciibe the casting process. The furnace on wh'eh the- iron is melted is built of fire brick hooped with cai iron staves, nnd the fuel used is anthracite coal, hverythmg being in readme tor casting, a fan communicating by pipes with the furnace is set in motion and soon be-'ins to revolve at the rate of revolu tions per minute. This enormous blast soon raises the iron to the smelting point, and it begins to trickle out of the vent it i i ti note, which is soon eiosea nv means oi a piece. of elnv. In a few minutes this is re-1 moved and the iron gushes out in a si ream of liquid ami is received in iron ladles lined with clay, nnd baked.

The workmen then carry the ladle to the mould nnd carefully pour the melted metal into its receptacle. Considerable quantities of hydrogen gas are developed by the action of the melted iron on the water with which the sand of the moulds is moistened, and harmless explosions ore sometimes caused by it. The foundry now presents a busy scene to tho eye of the spectator. The workmen running to and fro with their ladles of liquid iron, the furnace pouring out its stream of while, scintillating file, the blue lights made by the burning of the gas. and the iueieasitig roar of the huge blovv- 1 pipes form a tableau worth visit.

Not the least interesting part of the process is the turning out of the castings fiom the moulds. The direction of the casting process requires the exercWo of much good judgment and experience in order to produce good work; but Mr. Whitr, the ail'a-ble and intelligent nuperiiitetidont of the imdertunds Ins business thtr- oughly, and is completely equal to the part lie o-cupicB.
