- In the office of the St. Johnsbury Caledonian is a most ingenious specimen of mechanism. The article referred to is a glass bottle, inside of which is a round table, very nearly filling the diameter of the bottle. On the table is a cask made of staves, with brass hoops and a head in each end. In the neck of the bottle is a wooden stopple, nearly filling the space, and this is keyed in on the inside and pinned. The table and miniature barrel had to be set up inside the bottle and glued together. This piece of patient work was done by Nat Annis of Passumpsic, an employee at the scale works.
