The sixth exhibition of this institute will commence at Louisville, Ky., Sept. 14th, and the directors will be ready to receive goods for exhibition on the 7th. As all machinery, &c, is to be in actual operation, persons intending to exhibit are requested to inform Mr. D. Macpherson, Secretary of the Exhibi-" tion Committee, as to the amount of space and power they will require. THE METALLIC OIL advertised in another column is an excellent article for lubricating machinery. It is durable and economical, and having stood the severest tests for some years past, we can cordially recommend it. We have to thank Commander Thos. Page, of the U. S. steamer Waterwitch, for maps of this survey of the river Parana in that ship.
It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.
There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.
