We have never found anything betterthan the contrivance represented in Figs. 4 and 5, which show a portion ofthe inner side of one of the large doors. A light and stiff bar, A, isattached to the middle batten of the door, so as to turn freely on an ironbolt at the middle. The ends of this bar slide into a groove in the beamand sill, which secure both ends and hold the door fast. A single touchof the hand, throwing it out of the grooves, as in Fig. 4, allows the door toopen J and it is again closed and flistenedwitli equal ease, as shown in Fig. door being fastened, the other latches to SMALL CARRIAQE HOUSE AND STABLE.
