BINNS’ GREAT MILL. A Yorkshire ‘Inventor's Wonderful Discovery. Machines that Work Day and Nieht ‘Without Watohers, Correspondence New York Thiner, Lounon, dune 17,—A run of five to six houre from London, northward, takes you tu Vrad- ford, in Yorkshircs if yougu by the Midlund route you travel through a stretch of the most pleturesque scenery in England, on the High Penk section of the road. That waa my route, My journey ended at & smoky suburb of the great manufacturing town of Bradford. Low Moor Isa busy dletrict; it made most of the cannon-balls that the English hurled at Sehastopol during the Crimean War. To tha local fron-works has been added some York- shire milla, and the Intest supplement to tho industries of the district {s one which prom- jses to revolutionize the wechapical operations of the world, It had been reported to me that Mr. Binns, a practical {nyentor and designer, had come as near to THE ATTAINMENT OF PERPETUAL MOTION as had yet been reached. He had constructed inachinery which could be set at work at the be- ginning of the webk, and would go stead until the end without being touched, so long as the stenm-eneine continued to work; thatthe opera- tlon of manufacturing proceeded continuously withont tending; that the owner locked np bis mills av nleht, and went to bed, whllo the machines mafotained thelr busy revolu- tions, turning out miles of silk cords, fringes, trimmings, and other — things that, whereas be used to employ secures o} hands, he now only needed 8 stoker, 2 book- keeper, und afew cleaners and packers to put up the produce of his automatic mill, “But supposing thera {sa break: the yarn?” L asked, ©The machine pauses, mends the break, und gocs on again,’? was the answer, This is a itl to gee, Pthought, and afew hours ogol found myself ot a quiet, unpretentious tittle house at Oakenshaw, uear the Low Moor Rall- way depot, asking for Mr. Binne. it surprisea you every now and they, in the manufacturing districts in the North of England, to step out of a black, dirty road and a murky atmiosphere into a leafy and floral fnclostire, a verdant oaels. Such was the hurible garden ot Mr. Binns, with {ts green grass {ts budding rhododendron, old-fashioned pastes, dateics, aud “Jad's love? ‘The master of the housc welcomed ine. but regretted that {could pot seo the mtil thatevening. He sntd the friend who had shown me the way would explain. ‘This was the reason alleged: Some tine ago, Biuni being aman of great inventive resources but ltue capital, astonished his nelehbors with the production of ENDLESS BANDS for spindles, wiudow-blinds, aud other uses. A circular ‘jolutless bund or cord wasa uovelty. and it is the foundation of the new discovery. A company purchased the invention, built a mit! to work it, and subsidized Mr. Dinns, After a short tine the jutnt-atock fuvestors found that they might exhuust the endleas-band market before they madea fortune, and that te newness of the thing and its manufac- ture Were more wonderful than proflt- avle. ‘They invited Mr. Binns to buy the patents back from them. Me did so. ‘The tml and all {ts appllances fell into his dutida on easy means of payinent. Whether the agreemants were tuo comulicated, whuther the Company wWasnot properly wound up ac vording to law, or whether Binns did not tech- nically Tulftl tig obligations, fs uot necessazy to the purposes of this article; uud there are al- aways two sides to ihe story of a reat litigation. Sullice ic to say that soon ‘after Winns came Into ion of the mill he made bis new dis- , und soon after that the Company's ra_rerved hin with a welt for $10:,000. Advised by his own solleitors” that ho was tn for acbancery eult und other logal-dilliculties that might Inst ten years, he.qwent stralght to the Court of Bankruptey and Sted his petition. This puts au end to all claims at roubles, bringing: into one focus the udjudicat of all questions, releasing the bankrupt frdby' every obligation, nod enatling him to start liferwith a clean pace, ‘This little story was told fone: 10 theinventur's garden, I went back to the house and offered ty sympathy and condolutiee, wy fearon you did not caxa/20, show mo tho mit’? 2 said, “Not at all," sata Binng, tn a strong Northern Afatect. ‘Fact Is, the Colith 1s ‘taking an ine ventory, but they'll have Mllithed to-night, and T go jnto possession again fp, the morning, and shall be fo full work?

The next day J tuspocted "THE MILL, T found in tho principal apartment Afteen ma- chines at work quite unattended.

The old inethod of manufacture was to make the cord in lengths longwike. Binns’ principle is rotary and endless, almost Vtorally without: begining und without ead. “Except for cleaning,” sald the foventor, stand- ing by ona of the machines ashe spoke, “this would go on forever until {t wus worn out: but lot us put Itata week.

[staid there eighteen months, and then set up as a public designer; but {t was not long before I commenced to manufacture fancy dress. goods on my own account. 1 established a busl- ness, and then I began to WORE OUT MY YOUTHFUL, IDEAS, the notlons 1 had had when a mere boy, chiefly in regard toendless bands. It seemed to inc, apart from the practical value for spinning and other purposes, there wasa trade tu be dane In window-cords, bell and fancy ropes, and cord triminings, The endlese-batid scheme sccom- plsled, I set to work making an cndless orna- mental cord by a machine to run night and day unattended—cord of every description and com- bination of colors nud design. My discovery wan too creat, ns one mav say. I found thutl could make in this one mill_ more cord than all the world could use. So I wct about to deal with the surplus, applying it to ribbon and other trimmings for ladies’ dresses, Jackets. paletote, mantles, hate, winduw-curtains, and many other things. [have als been able to apply the tna> chine tothe snanufactura of diamond yarns, both In silk sud wool, to be made into all kinds of knitted, plaited, and woven fabrics, thus pro- ducing an entire novelty, which tovk the high- vat prizes ot Paris for that class of exbibits.”” Here the faventor conducted me to a lower room, where I fuund a eeries of ordinary wear- {ne-machives working up in brvad tenths for etticunts, trinmiinge. and other purouses all Inds and sizes of the allken cords turved ont it the room above, the result being sume very pretty combinations; and fw the next apartment, whieb {a the warehouse, I found LARGE QUANTITIES OF GOODS being packed for Continental and uther markets, such a8 fan-holders, made un of short lengths of remnants of cord. ciirtain-toops, stiken neck= lets, bell-pulls, clothes Hace, dress trimmings, curtatn-borders, Bertin wool work im antt macassare, and osher gouds, endless spindte- bands, endless windaw-cords, and sast-lines, Paris had seut some large orders for govds, which Binns [s now able to supply at less shan halt the price of any other house in the trade. Twas told that recently twenty-elzht large cases of various ornamental and other gaods had been made and packed aud cnt by train Inless than a dav. As we parted until night—for I wanted to sec or hear the mf) at work alone—I sald to Binns: “Hove you had many visitors{? “Not mauy," he answered. * a Any press men?” “Ono or two." t “ Have they written about the mill?" “Yes; the Bradford Chronicle had x short that was the first;n ttle paper. called id something about ft; and the Wercan- rate’ great London journal has sent downt 0, alt 3 in ae great engineering paper or trade maxa- zine None, sir; only thosa I’ve mentioned, that Tremember,” IT WAS DARK n when T returned to Low Moor. The country was Nehted by the blaze of the great pig aud other fron-making works. It was o strange, welrd iumtoation, A cloudy night, the sickiy fomes were fitful and in curious competition: with the twlukiing of cottage-windows and publie- housca. made my way from the Low Moor depot, along the Toad, and — seain knocked at Mr. Binns’ door, We walked to the mill, The furogce-lebts were now some dis. tance bobind us. Bluns’ misl is iu the midst of fields nnd meadows, uwav on the edge of Low Moor bustle. In the distance beyond there arc woods andbills, By the mill there runs o North Country brook. It flows under 2 tow brlage by the manufactory, which isa hamlsome stone structure, ‘The engine-house 1s outside the mill, the shafting buing connected from the exterior, so that the works aro not in- yaded by engincer or stoker, As wo ap proached the mill throngh the darkness, tha roar and rattle of machinery could be heard high above the cureling of the brook, We sat.on tho bridge. The dark outline of the mill cout be seen and from it came the busy sound of ma- chinery. Itwosa ginot al work In the dark. The clectric light {8 of uo use to Mr. Binus. We went to the mill door. ‘The businesa of the mill was golng on as if hundreds of hands were em- ployed. When the owner took out the key and opened the door, the darkness wos pitehy.
