NEW ERA. IN SAW MILLS* Captaiu Win. Kendall, jr. of Wa-terville, Me. has recently put into successful operation, an improved circular Saw, adapted to mill logs of the largest sue. The saw is capable of makintr boards at the astonishing rate of 4t) \b t»0' superficial feet in a minute, planing them at t|ie same time; Those who have witness^* At he effects, are fully apprised of it%utillty« particularly as it is admirably adapted to tide waters and streams of low heads, or may be conveniently propelled by steam; three fourths at least, of the power required in the usual way of sawing is saved by Mr. Kendall's machine, which at the same time makes much smoother and better boards. About 100,000 feet have already been made, though Capt. Kendall is not prepared to make a business of sawing till ^eyeral important appendages are aliae^l to the machine. Circular saws tm*e4ohg been in use, yet the peculiar construction of the saw aud other parts of the machine, and its application to heavy timber, are well worthy of a patent. The ardour in which he engaged and the skill and ingenuity with w hich he has persevered in this new aud useful invention, are worthy of commendation, and his complete success will perpetuate his fame and augmeeftlususefulness.
