The trial of the Modern Earth Converter came off Saturday afternoon. We had, doubtless like many of our fellow citizens who visited the scene of the work, the expectation of seeing some wonderfully complicated machine the like of which we had never dreamed or heard. Instead of this, only one glance was necessary to see that the entire apparatus was simply that of an endless chain and we could at once see the practicability of the construction. As with the simplest combinations of machinery we notice the greatest probability of success, so it is with this invention if we are to judge from the general satisfaction expressed in its operation by those who were present and expressed entire satisfaction with its work. Mr. Morden is the proprietor of the above excellent invention.
