[From tli.; Newark Avertiscr, Jan. 9.
A Steam Man-
A WONDERFUL PIECE OK MECHANISM.
The old adage which proclaims that
“ there’s nothing new under the sun,” has
been daringly and yet successfully refuted.
Mr. Zadock Deddrick, a Newark machinist,
has invented a man; oue that, moved by
steam, will perform some of the most im
portant functions of humanity, that will
stand upright, walk or run, as he is bid, in
any direction a.id at almost any rate of
speed, drawing after him a load whose
weight would take tiie strength of three
stout draught horses. The history of this
curious invention is as follows :
Six years ago, Mr. Deddrick, the invent
or, who is at present but twenty-two years
of age, conceived the novel ideal of con
structing a man that should receive its vi
tality from a perpetual motion machine.—
Tiie idea was based on the well known me
chanical principle that if a heavy weight
be placed at the top of an upright slightly
inclined from a vertical, gravitation will
tend to produce a horizontal as well as ver
tical motion.
The project was not successful. How
ever, by observing carefully the cause of
the failure, preserving and perfecting the
man-form, and by substituting steam in
place of the perpetual motion machine the
present success was attained.
The man stinds seven feet and nine
inches high, the other dimensions of the
body being correctly proportioned, making
him a second Daniel Lambert, by which
name he is facetiously spoken of among the
workmen. Ile weighs five hundred pounds.
Steam is generated in the body or trunk
which is nothing but a three-horse power
engine, like those used in our steam fire
engines. The legs which support it are
complicated and wonderful. The steps are
taken very naturally and quite easily. As
the body is thrown forward upon the ad
vanced foot the other is lifted from the
ground by a spring and thrown forward by
the steam. Each step or pace advances the
body two feet and every revolution of the
engine produces four paces. As the engine
is capable of making more than a thousand
revolutions a minute it would get over the
ground, on tins calculation, at the rate of
a little more than a mile a minute. As
this would be working the legs faster than
would be safe on uneven ground or on
Broad street cobble stones it is proposed to
run the engine at the rate of 500 revolutions
per minute, which would walk the man at
the modest speed of half a mile a minute.
The fellow is attached to a common
xockaway carriage, the shafts of which
serve to support him in a vertical position.
These shafts are two bars of iron which are
made fast in the usual manner to the front
axle of the carriage, and are curved so as
to be joined to a circular sustaining bar,
which passes around the waist, like a girth,
and in which the mau moves so as to face
in any direction. Besides the motions,
machinery has been arranged by which the
figure can be thrown backward or forward
from a vertical, nearly forty-five degrees.—
This is done in order to enable it to ascend
or descend all grades. To the soles of the
feet spikes or corks are fixed which effec
tually prevent slipping. The whole affair
is so firmly sustained by the shafts and has
so excellent a foot hold that two men are
unable to push it over, or in any was throw
it down. In order to enable it to stop
quickly, it is provided with two appliances,
one of which will, as before stated, throw it
backward from the vertical, while the other
bends the knees in a direction opposite to
the natural position.
VI ... . : „ r
£ri-tt)cclvlji ’ Constitutionalist.
An upright post, which is arranged in
front of the dash-board, and within easy
reach of the front seats, sustains two
miniature pilot wheels, by the turning of
which these various motions and evolutions
are directed. It is expected that a suffi
ciently large amount of coal can be stowed
away under the back seat of the carriage
to work the engine for a day, and enough
water in a tank under the front seat to last
half a day.
In order to prevent “ the giant ” from
frightening horses by its wonderful appear
ance, Mr. Deddrick intends to clothe it and
give it as nearly as possible a likeness to
the rest of humanity. The boiler and such
parts as are necessarily heated will be en
cased in felt or woollen under garments.—.
Pants, coat and vest, of the latest styles,
are provided. Whenever the fires need
coaling, whicli is every two or three hours,
the driver stops the machine, descends
from his seat, unbuttons “ Daniel’s ” vest,
opens a door, shovels in the fuel, buttons
up the vest and drives on. On the.back,
between the shoulders, the steam cocks and
gauges are placed. As these would cause
the coat to set awkwardly a knapsack has
been provided that completely covers them.
A blanket neatly rolled up and placed on
top of the knapsack perfects the delusion.
The face is moulded into a cheerful coun
tenance of white enamel, which contrasts
well with the dark hair and moustache.—
A sheet iron hat with a gauge top acts as a
The cost of this “ first man ” is $2,000,
though the makers, Messrs. Deddrick &
Grass, expect to manufacture succeeding
ones, warranted to run a year without re
pairs, for S3OO. The same parties expect to
construct, on the same principle, horses
which will do the duty of ten or twelve
ordinary animals of the same species.—
These, it is confidently believed, can be
used alike before carriages, street cars and
plows. The man now constructed can
make his way without difficulty over any
irregular surface whose ruts and stones are
not more than nine inches below or above
the level of the road.
Messrs. Bolen & Crane, at whose works
this wonderful affair has been built, have
just completed a hardly less marvellous,
though by no means as novel a machine.
It is a leather splitter, for the Newark Pa
tent Leather Company. It is so nicely con
structed as to split, with case and facility,
hides to such extreme thinness that the va
luation of the knives of a fractional part of
the thickness of a sheet of writing paper,
would destroy the work. The machine is
to be sent to Paris within a few days.

[From the I.aCrossc Democrat.
A Most Strange Chapter.
A correspondent writes us from Water
loo, lowa, asking if we know of one Edgar
Burnham, and of his history.
We do. And as it is a strange, true 011 c,
known to hundreds, we give it in the Dem
ocrat ns it is, that we may correct sonic er
rors those who speak of him have fallen
into. Eight years since, when we were en
gaged as city editor of a Milwaukee paper,
there lived in this State an editor named
Powell, now connected with a Chicago pa
per, we think. He is, unless he has quit it
lately.
In 1862 Powell was married to a Miss
Ellen Burnham, of Brodhead, Wisconsin,
after a courtship of some months. Miss
Burnham’s parents were old residents of
Brodhead, and of high respectability.—
The daughter taught music, had a large
number of pupils, and was very attractive.
Powell lived with her as a husband two
years, she being at that time a good wife in
all respects, presenting him with but one
child. At the expiration of two years,
when about twenty-one years of age, Mrs.
Powell’s voice changed, siie grew light
whiskers, and gradually changed her sex,
developing into a man, in all respects, as if
nature, anxious for a freak, had turned a
portion of herself wrongside out.
The husband and wife separated when
the wife became a man, and Mrs. Ellen
Powell took the name of Edgar Burnham,
donned male attire, sought and obtained
employment as a clerk in Chicago, and
lived a single young man for one year.
During this time he fell in love with a
ueice of Senator Morgan, of New York, but
did not marry her, for reasons not pertinent
to this article. But about the end of the year
he did marry a young lady of Brodhead,
Wis., a Miss Gertn Everett, who was a mu
sic pupil of his when he was a Miss Ellen
Burnham, over three years previous to the
marriage. This second marriage was about
two years ago. Soon after this marriage,
“Edgar” Burnham and wife removed to
Waterloo, lowa, where they now reside, or
did not long since.
The former girl is now a man, the form
er wife is now a husband, the former mother
is now a father, the former young lady
teacher of a young lady is now the young
lady’s husband ! Truth is indeed stranger
than fiction, and the above simple state
ment of facts borders so upon the marvel
lous we could not believe it did we not per
sonally know nearly all the parties.
Any oue can be convinced, by writing to
the parties in either of the places we have
named, of the full and entire truth of this
most wonderful transformation, which puz
zles not only the medical, but the entire
scientific world, and which fact appears
now for the first time in print, though the
particulars have long been known to us
and to many other newspaper men and pro
minent citizens' of this State, and to nearly
all the citizens of Brodhead, where the par
ties so long resided.

A. J. Roberta <J- Cos., Atlanta, Ga.:
Gentlemen : X am well pleased with the result of the
nse of the “ Double. Refined Poudrette ” on my crops. I
tried it on both corn and cotton, and am satisfied wher
ever it was applied the yield was more than double what
it would have been without it. I regret exceedingly my
not using it more extensively the present year, but will
try to make up my loss by purchasing a larger quantity
next spring. I regard it as the cheapest, most reliable
and easiest managed fertilizer within my knowledge, and
cheerfully recommend it (as I have tried it thoroughly.)
to the farmers of this section, and particularly to those
planting cotton, from the fact of its causing it to mature
from ten days to two weeks earlier than it would without
the use of the Poudrette. I also used it on my garden
and found it of much benefit to all kinds of plants.
Very respectfully, Ac.,
G. S. OGLESBY.
Extract from a letter received from Professor Martin,
of Hampden, Sidney College, Virginia, dated July Ist,
1867 :
The Double Refined Poudrette is operating like a charm
on my crop, and attracting universal attention from all
beholders. lam already fatbfied that it is the cheapest
and surest renovator of our worn-out lands.
High Shoals, Ga., Oct. 4,1867.
James R. Dey, Esq.:
Sir: The Double Refined Poudrette I bought for two
other p: rties in connection with myself—one of them
used it on cotton and corn, and thinks H answered finely;
tiie other put it on cotton, on very poor ground, and
thinks it doubled hiscrop. 1 used it on corn. It answer
ed finely, and was thought by the hand that cultivated
the crop to be fully equal to Rhode’s Super-Phospliate. I
also used it on about an acre of cotton, and I am-eluariy
of opinion that it is the best and cheapest fertilizer in
use, and I expect to order several tons this winter.
Yours, very respectfully,
ISAAC POWELL.
Ellaville, Schley County, Ga., Oct. 4, 1867.
The Double Refined Poudrette, purchased of you last
spring, 1 think, increased my crop of cotton 150 pounds
per acre ; pul it upon worn out‘pine land at the rate of
200 pounds per acre, drilled in with cotton seed.
Yours, Ac., S. MONTGOMERY.
Salisbury, N. C., Aug. to, 1867.
James K. Dey, Esq.:
Dear Sir : X can safely say that your Double Refined
Poudrette is far superior to any oilier fertilizer for cotton;
for I have given it a fair trial this season.
Yours, FOSTER, Jr.
Savannah, Ga., Sopt. 25,1867.
Jamtl R. Dey, Esq., President:
Dear Sir: I used the Double Refined Poudrette.
bought of you last spring, on corn. 1 think it increased
the yield one-hale I consider it an excellent manuro.
Respectfully, T. HOLCOMBE.
Ridgbway, S. C , Sept. 21, 1867.
Mr. James R. Dey :
Sir : X applied the Double Refined Poudrette by itself,
and in combination with other fertilizers, on cotton, and
am pleased with it; so much so that it is my present in
tention to purchase a larger supply of you the next year
to apply to my cotton crop.
Yours, very respectfully,
HENRY C. DAVIS.
Rooky Mount, Edoroombu, Cos., N. C., Nov. 13,1366.
James it. Dey. Esq.:
Sir : In reply io your inquiry of the results of our ex
perience in the use of your improved Poudrette, pur
chased of yon for ttiis year's cotton crop, we would beg
leave to say that the present season has been cue quite
unfavorable to the action of all fertilizers.
Several kinds of manures were used by vs, with the
exception of your Poudrette, with little or no effect to
the crop.
Where the Poudrette was used it gave us near half a
hale more per acre, and caused the Cotton to open much
curlier, and wo would therefore recommend the same as
a concentrated manure for the growth of cotton, as well
as improvement to the soil.
Yours, very respectrullfi
