Call f ^ b ( - 160 Perhaps no statement connected with the appearance of this work is calculated to create more surprise than that the greater portion of it was actually in type prior to the first of May. Its condition at that period may be thus described. The manuscript accounts of the articles of a large number of the Exhibitors had been compiled, set up in type, and subsequently condensed, annotated, and revised, and required but a little more attention to fit them for publication. In addition, a large proportion of the illustrations were completed and fit for printing. But at that moment, what was the condition of the Exhi- bition Building itself ? Only on the morning of the first of May were tickets affixed to a few articles in a few Classes, and the position of many Exhibitors, even on the British side, was not finally determined. This arose out of the efforts made to obtain a strictly classified arrangement of articles on this side. Many articles placed in the hurry of preparation in the space allotted to one Class were improperly thus placed, and required to be removed to other Classes, and a large number of explanations were found to have been received from Exhibitors who had ultimately not been able to send in their goods in time. Whilst many Classes were arranged rapidly, others remained, owing to peculiar difficulties, in a state of great incompletion, and incessant alterations of the numbers and position of the Exhibitors were necessary before they could be con- sidered perfect. During this time, which is to be reckoned by weeks rather than days, the number of additional manuscripts received from Exhibitors, who had neglected sending them in until long after the opening of the Exhibition, was immense, and the adjustment of the additional matter thus created was in itself a difficulty not to be easily subdued. While an amount of order—surprising in its extent, though imperfect in the degree requisite for the publication of a work so costly in its preparation as the present—reigned on the British side of the Building, the state of that devoted to other nations could scarcely be entitled to that term until a month subsequent to the day of opening. Many foreign states had not sent in their catalogues, and the arrangement of their productions was very imperfect. The peculiar nature of the Catalogue, also, as a work produced by many thousand authors, naturally brought upon it, through the medium of the small Catalogue, the corrections of a large number of those whose manuscripts formed its foundation, in addition to those rendered necessary, in order to obtain some degree of uniformity in the literary composition. The combination of the elements of disorder thus presented has never before arisen to oppose the publication of any work in this or other times ; and its effect upon its preparation is only to be estimated by those who have watched its progress, and are familiar with the complicated arrangements necessarily preceding the production of any printed book containing illustrations. The great extent of the Catalogue rendered the disturbance of any of its parts absolutely fatal to its publication in a reasonable time, and even in a moderate condition of accuracy. In the midst of all these adverse circumstances an attempt was made to publish it as speedily as possible after the opening of the Exhibition ; but this attempt was rendered fruitless in consequence of the ceaseless accessions of additional matter, and of the alterations of position in that already set up. Under these circumstances the Contractors, anxious to produce so extensive a work in as perfect a condition as possible, resolved, at considerable loss to them- selves, to delay its appearance until every alteration of importance had been made in the arrangement of the Building and by Exhibitors themselves. In this state it is now published, and is intended to serve as a lasting memorial of the splendid collection of which it professes to be the exponent. When its magnitude is considered, and due regard had to the great difficulties inseparable from the production of an illustrated book of this kind, it must be acknowledged that the period occupied in its publication has been comparatively brief and its prepa- ration rapid. The due appearance of the smaller Catalogue, on the first of May,—in itself, perhaps, one of the most remarkable instances of rapid tjrpographical exe- cution ever accomplished,—is also an indication of the substantive pre-existence of the present work before that date, since the smaller Catalogue is only a very condensed summary of the present, and was derived from the material forming the illustrated edition. The difficulties attending the publication, even of that work, may be gathered from the fact, that only three days before it appeared was the order of succession and temporary arrangement of the Exhibitors in the Building determined on; and in that short interval, and before its publication, their arrangement in the Catalogue had much of it to be made. For an account of the method adopted in the preparation of this Catalogue reference should be made to another page. It is, however, due to those whose valued assistance has added so much to the permanent interest which will attach to this work to state, that there are several portions which could not, by pressure of time, be submitted to the benefit of their revision, and for such, and the general scientific accuracy of the work, the subscriber to this notice must be considered alone accountable. That the following pages are to be considered free from technical and scientific inaccuracies could scarcely be expected; but much care and labour have been expended to give them, as far as possible, this character. The consideration just named may also render expedient, if not necessary, a simple statement of the part fulfilled by the writer in connection with this work. The production of the general plan of the book, its development, after sanction by the Executive Committee, and literary construction out of the crude material obtained after compilation from the manuscripts of Exhibitors—^this material resulting from the official instructions given for the compilation of the Catalogue, and the term compilation including, in this case, merely the rough preparation of Exhibitors' manuscripts for setting up in type, the resulting matter being consequently in a very imperfect state—mth the general literary and scien- tific superintendence and management of the work—these have formed the occupation of the writer in connection with it, and for these he may be held responsible. As the result of the combined labours of the scientific annotators and of the writer, and after having received official sanction and revision on the part of the Executive by the officer appointed, this Catalogue is now put forth. The constant effi3rt of the writer has been to prepare a work of permanent value and enduring interest. May it be shown in the issue that the labour bestowed upon it has not been in vain. At the period when this work makes its appearance in a complete state, the Exhibition is about to close. The first function of a Descriptive Catalogue can therefore scarcely be fulfilled ere the great spectacle it illustrates will pass away. To those wonders of Art and Industry which man, taught by God, has been by Him enabled to accomplish, it will prove a guide but for a brief period. But its more permanently valuable offices then commence ; and it may be reasonably Vlll hoped that, as a record of the most varied and wonderful collection of objects ever beheld, and as a book of reference to the philosopher, merchant, and manufac- turer, it will constantly prove both interesting and instructive to the reader. It is probable that, with the return of the Exhibitors and of the articles to the numerous localities abroad whence they were derived, copies of this Catalogue will be sent, and taken also, and that these pages will be read in many lands long after the Exhibition shall have become matter of history. May they be found, on examination, to contain nothing which is not in harmony with the spirit of the motto on the title-page; and, while descriptive of the successful labours of man, may it not have been forgotten that the glory and praise are due to God alone.

The activity of tlie present day chiefly develops itself in commercial industry, and it is in accordance with the spirit of the age that the nations of the world have now collected together their choicest productions. It may be said without pre- sumption, that an event like this Exhibition could not have taken place at any earlier period, and perhaps not among any other people than ourselves. The friendly confidence reposed by other nations in our institutions; the perfect security for property; the commercial freedom, and the facility of transport, which England pre-eminently possesses, may all be brought forward as causes which have operated in establishing the Exhibition in London. Grreat Britain offers a hospitable invitation to all the nations of the world, to collect and display the choicest fruits of their industry in her Capital; and the invitation is freely accepted by every civilized people, because the interest both of the guest and host is felt to be reciprocal. But the consideration of the wide moral agencies which have contributed to produce the present Exhibition must be postponed, and we proceed at once to trace the course of the more direct influences which have lead to its establishment. Fairs, which are one sort of exhibitions of works of industry, have been established for centuries, in every part of the United Kingdom; but exhibitions resembling the present institution, in which the race is for excellence, and direct commerce is not the primary object, have taken place only during the last cen- tury, and have been originated by individuals, or societies, independently of any Government assistance. As early as the years 1756-7 the Society of Arts of London offered prizes for specimens of manufactures, tapestry, carpets, porcelain, &c., and exhibited the works which were offered in competition. About the same period, the Eoyal Academy, as a private society, patronized by the Sovereign, more in a personal capacity than as representing the head of the Legislatures had orfifanized its exhibitions of painting, sculpture, and engraving. The first exhibition of industrial productions in France, recognised as a national institution, occurred in 1798, a second took place in 1801, a third in 1802, and a fourth in 1806. But it was not until the year 1819, that the expositions of French industry have taken place systematically; and it is only since that time i that the influence of them has been markedly felt in Europe. ' During the last thirty years, in each of the metropolitan cities of the United Local Exhibitions Kingdom, and the most important manufacturing towns, one or more exhibi- dom."'*'^*^ tions of machinery and manufactures have been held; and it may be recorded that, B as early as 1829, the Eojal Dublin Society had founded an exhibition of works of art, science, and manufacture, to be held triennially, to which, however, Irish productions only were admitted until the year 1850. But the local exhibition of Birmingham, held in the autumn of the year 1849—originating with individuals, self-supporting in its management, and comprehensive in the scope of the objects exhibited—may be said to have most nearly resembled the Exhibition of the present year. All similar exhibitions, in fact, have been essentially of a private and local character, none of them receiving any kind of Government or national sanction, if we except the exhibition of manufactures applicable to the decoration of the Houses of Parliament, which was instituted by the Fine Arts Commissioners. To follow the links of the chain which have connected the present Exhibition with the national sympathies and support, we must revert to the French exposition in 1844. The great success of that exposition caused several representations to be made to members of the Cabinet, of the benefit which a similar exhibition would be likely to confer on the industry of the United Kingdom, and some efforts were made to obtain the assistance of the Government, but with no apparent results. No hopes whatever were held out that the Government would undertake any pecuniary liabilities in promoting such an exliibition. It may be mentioned that, even so late as the year 1848, a proposal to establish a self-supporting exhibition of British industry, to be controlled by a Eoyal Commission, was submitted to His Eoyal Highness the Prince Albert, and by him laid before the Govern- ment ; still the Government hesitated to take up the subject, and it became quite evident to those parties who were most desirous of witnessing the establishment of a national exhibition, that if such an event should ever take place, it would have to be carried out independently of any Government assistance. It is a marking feature in all the institutions and great works of our country, that they are the consequences of popular wishes. It is not until wants become national, and that combined action becomes essential to success, that the people seek the aid of the Government. The great constitutional freedom which this country enjoys, may be ascribed in some measure to the reluctance which the Government always shows to act on behalf of the people in any case where it is possible they can act for themselves. A great part of the success which has at- tended the institution of this Exhibition, may be attributed to its independence of the Government; and it may be the boast of our countrymen that the Exhibition was originated, conducted, and completed independently of any Government aid what- ever, except its sanction. Assistance has only been sought from the Government when it was indispensable, as in correspondence with foreign countries, the pro- vision of a site for the building, the organization of police, &c.; and wherever such assistance, when granted, would have entailed expense, the cost of it has been defrayed from the funds of the Exhibition. Exhibitions of the Step by step, the subject of a national exhibition, and the means of real- society of Arts, -^-^g -^^ becamc connected with the Society of Arts. In June, 1845, a com- mittee of members of that Society was formed to carry out an exhibition of national industry, and funds were subscribed by the individuals forming the committee to meet the preliminary expenses. An inquiry was set on foot to ascertain the disposition of manufacturers to support the exhibition, but the attempt failed and was abandoned. In 1847 the Council of the Society sub- stituted action for theory, and, in the midst of discouragement, established a limited exhibition of manufactures, professedly as the beginning of a series. The success of this exhibition determined the Council to persevere, and to hold similar exhibitions annually. Accordingly in the next year the experiment was repeated with such greatly increased success, that the Council felt warranted in announcing their intention of holding annual exhibitions, as a means of esta- blishing a quinquennial Exhibition of British Industry, to be held in 1851. Having proceeded thus far, the Council sought to connect the Schools of Design, located in the centres of manufacturing industry, with the proposed exhibitions, and obtained the promised co-operation of the Board of Trade, through the Pre- sident, Mr. Labouchere ; moreover, with a view to prepare a suitable building, they secured the promise of a site from the Earl of Carlisle, then Chief Com- missioner of Woods and Forests, who offered either the central area of Somerset House, or some other Government ground. In the year 1849 the exhibition, still more successful than any preceding, consisted chiefly of works in the precious metals, some of which were graciously contributed by Her Majesty. To aid in carrying out their intention of holding a National Exhibition in the year 1851, the Council of the Society caused a report on the French Exposition, held in 1849, to be made for them and printed. A petition was also presented by the Council to the House of Commons, praying that tliey might have the use of some public building for the exhibition of 1851, which was referred to the Select Committee on the School of Design. His Eoyal Highness the Prince Albert, as President of the Society, had Enlarged by of course been fully informed, from time to time, of all these proceedings, which ""^^ ' had received His Royal Highness's sanction and approval; but immediately after the termination of the session of 1849, the Prince took the subject under his own personal superintendence. He proceeded to settle the general principles on which the proposed exhibition for 1851 should be conducted, and to consider the mode in which it should be carried out. His Eoyal Highness has himself fully expressed the views which prompted His Royal High- him to take the lead in carrying out the Exhibition, and on the occasion of the banquet to promote the Exhibition, given by Mr. Farncomb, the Lord Mayor of London, to the municipal authorities of the United Kingdom, His Royal Highness declared these views in the following terms:— It must, indeed, be most gratifying to me, to find tliat a suggestion which I had thrown out, as appearing to me of importance at this time, should have met with such universal concurrence and approbation; for this has proved to me that the view I took of the peculiar character and requirements of our age was in accordance with the feelings and opinions of the country. Gentlemen, I conceive it to be the duty of every educated person closely to watch and study the time in which he lives; and, as far as in him lies, to add his humble mite of individual exertion to further the accomplishment of what he believes Providence to have ordained. Nobody, however, who has paid any attention to the particular features of our present era, will doubt for a moment that we are living at a period of most wonderful transition, which tends rapidly to the accomplishment of that great end to which, indeed, all history points—the realization of the unity of mankind. Not a unity which breaks down the limits, and levels the peculiar characteristics of the different nations of the earth, but rather a unity the result and product of those very national varieties and antagonistic quali- ties. The distances which separated the (hfferent nations and parts of the globe are gradually vanishing before the achievements of modern invention, and we can traverse them with incredible ease; the languages of all nations are known, and their acquirements placed within the reach of everybody; thought is communicated with the rapidity and even by the power of lightning. On the other hand, the great principle of division of labour, which may B 2 be called the moving power of civilization, is being extended to all branches of science, industry, and art. Whilst formerly the greatest mental energies strove at universal know- ledge, and that knowledge was confined to the few, now they are directed to specialties, and in these again even to the minutest points; but the knowledge acquired becomes at once the property of the community at large. Whilst formerly discovery was wrapt in secresy, the publicity of the present day causes that no sooner is a discovery or invention made, than it is already improved upon and surpassed by competing efforts ; the products of all quarters of the globe are placed at our disposal, and we have only to choose which is the best and cheapest for our purposes, and the powers of production are intrusted to the stimulus of competition and capital. So man is approaching a more complete fulfilment of that great and sacred mission which he has to perform in this world. His reason being created after the image of God, he has to use it to discover the laws by which the Almighty governs his creation, and, by making these laws his standard of action, to conquer Nature to his use— himself a divine instrument. Science discovers these laws of power, motion, and trans- formation : industry applies them to the raw matter, which the earth yields us in abundance, but which becomes valuable only by knowledge; art teaches us the immutable laws of beauty and symmetry, and gives to our productions forms in accordance with them. Gentlemen,—The Exhibition of 1851 is to give us a true test and a living picture of the point of development at which the whole of mankind has arrived in this great task, and a new starting point from which all nations will be able to direct their further exertions. I confidently hope the first impression which the view of this vast collection will produce upon the spectator will be that of deep thankfulness to the Almighty for the blessings which He has bestowed upon us already here below; and the second, the conviction that they can only be realized in proportion to the help which we are prepared to render to each other—therefore, only by peace, love, and ready assistance, not only between individuals, but between the nations of the earth. On the 29tli June, 1849, the general outlines of the Exhibition were discussed by His Eoyal Highness ; and from that day to the present time, accurate accounts of all proceedings have been kept, and the greater part of them printed and Meeting at Buck- published Tlic miuutos of a meeting of several members of the Society of Arts, ingham Palace. t" i t t-» i • J ^ held at Buckingham Palace on the 30 th June, set forth as follows : — His Royal Highness communicated his views regarding the formation of a Great Collec- tion of Works of Industry and Art in London in 1851, for the purposes of exhibition, and of competition and encouragement. His Royal Highness considered that such Collection and Exhibition should consist of the following divisions:— Raw Materials. Machiner}' and Mechanical Inventions. Manufactures. Sculpture and Plastic Art generally. It was a matter of consideration whether such divisions should be made subjects of simul- taneous exhibition, or be taken separately. It was ultimately settled that, on the first occasion at least, they should be simultaneous. Various sites were suggested as most suitable for the building; which it was settled must be, on the first occasion at least, a temporary one. The Government had offered the area of Somerset House; or if that were unfit, a more suitable site on the property of the Crown. His Royal Highness pointed out the vacant ground in Hyde Park on the south side, parallel with, and between, the Kensington drive and the ride commonly called Rotten Row, as affording advantages which few other places might be found to possess. Applica- tion for this site could be made to the Crown. It was a question whether this Exhibition should be exclusively limited to British industry. It was considered that, whilst it appears an error to fix any hmitation to the pro- ductions of machinery, science, and taste, which are of no country, but belong, as a whole, to the civihzed world, particular advantage to British industry might be derived from placing it in fair competition with that of other nations. It was further settled that, by offering very large premiums in money, sufficient induce- ment would be held out to the various manufacturers to produce works which, although they might not form a manufacture profitable in the general market, would, by the effort necessary for their accomplishment, permanently raise the powers, of production, and improve the character of the manufacture itself. It was settled that the best mode of carrying out the execution of these plans would be by means of a Royal Commission, of which His Royal Highness would be at the head. His Royal Highness proposed that inasmuch as the home trade of the country will be en- couraged, as many questions regarding the introduction of foreign productions may arise,— in so far also as the Crown property may be affected, and Colonial products imported,—the Secretaries of State, the Chief Commissioner of Woods, and the President of the Board of Trade, should be ex-officio members of this Commission ; and for the execution of its details some of the parties present, who are also members or officers of the Society of Arts, and who have been most active in originating and preparing for the execution of this plan, should be suggested as members, and that the various interests of the community also should be fully represented therein. It was settled that a draft of the proposed Commission, grounded on precedents of other Royal Commissions, be prepared, and that information regarding the most expeditious and direct mode of doing this be procured, and privately submitted to Her Majesty's Govern- ment, in order that no time be lost in preparation for the collection when the authority of the Government shall have been obtained. It was settled that a subscription for donations on a large scale, to carry this object into effect, would have to be organized immediately. It was suggested that the Society for Encouragement of Arts under its charier possessed machinery and an organization which might be useful, both in receiving and holding the money, and in assisting the working out of the Exposition.—(^Minutes of the Meeting on the 30th of June, 1849, at Buckingham Palace,) The minutes of a second meeting held on the 14th July, at Osborne, are as Meeting at /» n Osborne. loliows : His Royal Highness stated that he had recently communicated his views regarding the formation of a great collection of works of industry and art in London in 1851, for the j)ur- pose of exhibition, and of competition and encouragement, to some of the leading statesmen, and amongst them to Sir Robert Peel. His Royal Highness judged, as the result of these communications, that the importance of the subject was fully appreciated, but that its great magnitude would necessarily require some time for maturing the plans essential to secure its complete success. His Royal Highness communicated that he had also requested Mr. Labouchere, as Pre- sident of the Board of Trade, to give his consideration to this subject. Mr. Labouchere was now at Osborne, and His Royal Highness expressed his desire that he should be pre- sent at this meeting. Mr. Labouchere was accordingly invited to be present. His Royal Highness gave it as his opinion that it was most important that the co-operation of the Government and sanction of the Crown should be obtained for the undertaking; but that it ought to be matter for serious consideration how that co-operation and sanction could be most expediently given. Mr. Labouchere stated that the whole subject would have the very best consideration he could give it; and on behalf of the Ministry, he could promise an early decision as to the manner in which they could best give their co-operation. He suggested that if, instead of a Royal Commission being formed, to include some of the chief members of Her Majesty's Government, those same Ministers were to be elected members of a Managing Committee of the Society of Arts, this object might perhaps be as well accomplished. It was explained to Mr. Labouchere that the exertions of the Society of Arts would be given to the undertaking, to the utmost extent to which they could be useful; but that these functions would necessarily be of an executive and financial nature, rather than of a judicial and legislative character. It was further urged by the three members of the Society, that one of the requisite con- ditions for the acquirement of public confidence was, that the body to be appointed for the exercise of those functions should have a sufficiently elevated position in the eyes of the public, and should be removed sufficiently high above the interests, and remote from the liability of being influenced by the feelings of competitors, to place beyond all possibility any accusation of partiality or undue influence ; and that no less elevated tribunal than one appointed by the Crown, and presided over by His Royal Highness, could have that stand- ing and weight m the country, and give that guarantee for impartiality that would command the utmost exertions of all the most eminent manufacturers at home, and particularly abroad: moreover, that the most decided mark of national sanction must be given to this undertaking, in order to give it the confidence, not only of all classes of our own countrymen, but also of foreigners accustomed to the expositions of their own countries, which are con- ducted and supported exclusively by their Governments. It was also stated that, under such a sanction, and with such plans as now proposed, responsible parties would, it was believed and could be proved, be found ready to place at the disposal of the Commission sufficient funds to cover all preliminary expenses and the risks incidental to so great an undertaking. Mr. Labouchere expressed his sense of the great national importance of the proposal, and wished such further communication on the subject as might enable him fully to under- stand it, to be able better to consider the matter with his colleagues in the Cabinet. Plan of At the same time a general outline of a plan of operations was submitted :— operations. ^ I. A Royal Commission.—For promoting Arts, Manufactures, and Industry, by means of a great Collection of Works of Art and Industry of All Nations, to be formed in London, and exhibited in 1851. President, His Royal Highness Prince Albert. 1. The duties and powers of the Commission to extend to the determination of the nature of the prizes, and the selection of the subjects for w^hich they are to be offered. 2. The definition of the nature of the Exhibition, and the best manner of conducting all its proceedings. 3. The determination of the method of deciding the prizes, and the responsibility of the decision. II. The Society of Arts.—To organize the means of raising funds to be placed at the disposal of the Commission for Prizes, and to collect the funds and contributions to provide a building and defray the necessary expenses to cover the risks of the collection and exhibition ; and to provide for the permanent establishment of these Quinquennial Exhibitions. The prizes proposed to be submitted for the consideration of the Commission to be medals, with money prizes so large as to overcome the scruples and prejudices even of the largest and richest manufacturers, and ensure the greatest amount of exertion. It was pro- posed that the first prize should be £5,000, and that one, at least of £1,000, should be given in each of the four sections. Medals conferred by the Queen would very much enhance the value of the prizes. Mr. Labouchere finally stated that the whole matter should be carefully considered; but that there was no use in bringing it before the Cabinet at the moment of a closing session—that the Cabinet would now disperse, and not meet again till the autumn. The interval from now to October or November might be most usefully employed by the Society in collecting more detailed evidence as to the readiness of the great manufacturing and commercial interests to subscribe to and support the undertaking, and he promised to employ that interval in further informing himself, and endeavouring to ascertair the general feeling of the country on the subject.—(^Minutes of the Meeting on the 14:th of July, 1849, at Osborne.) On the 31st July, 1849, His Eoyal Highness addressed a letter to the Home The Prince's let- , , . , . ^ . n , . PTT Tx/r • ter to the Home Secretary, m order to bring the subject omcially to the notice oi Her Majesty s secretary. Government. Sir, Osborne, July 31, 1849. The Society of Arts having during several years formed exhibitions of works of national industry, which have been very successful, believe that they have thereby acquired sufficient experience, and have sufficiently prepared the public mind, to venture upon the execution of a plan they have long cherished—to invite a Quinquennial Exhibition in London of the Industry of All Nations. They think that the only condition wanting to ensure the success of such an undertaking, would be the sanction of the Crown, given in a conspicuous manner; and they are of opinion that no more efficacious mode could be adopted than the issue of a Royal Commission to inquire into, and report upon, the practicability of the scheme, and the best mode of executing it. I have therefore been asked, as President of the Society, to bring this matter officially before you, and to beg that Her Majesty's Government will give this subject their best consideration. The Exhibition was proposed to be invited for 1851, and the magnitude of the necessary preliminary arrangements renders it highly desirable that the decision which the Govern- ment may have come to should be ascertained within the space of a few months. I have, &c.. The Right Honourable (Signed) Albert. Sir George Grey, Bart., G.C.B., &c. &c. &c. Sir, Whitehall, August 1st, 1849. Answer. I HAVE had the honour to receive your Royal Highness's letter of the 31st July, suggesting the issue of a Royal Commission to inquire into, and report upon, the practicability of a scheme which has been formed by the Society of Arts for a Quinquennial Exhibition in London of the Industry of all Nations. I shall not fail, in obedience to your Royal Highness's command, to take an early oppor- tunity of bringing this important subject under the consideration of Her Majesty's Government, and I am confident that it will receive their careful and deliberate attention. I have, &c., (Signed) G. Grey. To His Royal Highness Prince Albert, K.G. {Minutes of the Meeting on the 3rd of September, 1849^ at Balmoral) In this stage of the proceeding it became necessary to place the accomphshment Pecuniary of the undertaking, as far as possible, beyond a doubt. Having acquired experience, ?ns"lexecudon in 1845, of the difficulties to be encountered, the Council of the Society of Arts felt that the proposal must not be brought a second time before the public as an hypothesis, but that the only means of succeeding was to prove that they had both the will and the power to carry out the Exhibition. The Society had no funds of its own available for the advances necessary to be made. The outlay for a building upon the scale then thought of, and for preliminary expenses, was estimated at the least at £70,000. After much fruitless negotiation with several builders and contractors, an agree- ment was made between the Society of Arts and the Messrs. MuNDAY, by which the latter undertook to deposit £20,000 as a prize fund, to erect a suitable building, to find offices, to advance the money requisite for all preliminary expenses, and to take the whole risk of loss on certain conditions. It was proposed that the receipts arising from the Exhibition should be dealt with as follows :—The £20,000 prize fund, the cost of the building, and five per cent, on all advances, were to be repaid in the first instance: the residue was then to be divided into three equal parts ; one part was to be paid at once to the Society of Arts as a fund for future exhibitions; out of the other two parts all other incidental costs, such as those of general management, preliminary expenses, &c., were to be paid; and the residue, if any, was to be the remuneration of the contractors, for their outlay, trouble, and risk. Subsequently the contractors agreed that instead of this division they would be content to receive such part of the surplus, if any, as, after payment of all expenses, might be awarded by arbitration. This contract was made on 23rd August, 1849, but the deeds were not signed until the 7th November following. For the purpose of carrying the contract into execution on behalf of the Society, the Council nominated an Executive Committee of four members, who were afterwards appointed the Executive in the Eoyal Commission, and the con- tractors their own nominee. In thus making the contract with private parties for the execution of what, in fact, would become a national object, if the proposal should be entertained by the public, every care was taken to anticipate the public wishes, and to provide for the public interests. It was foreseen that if the public identified itself with the Exhibition, they would certainly prefer not to be indebted to private enterprise and capital for carrying it out. A provision was made with the contractors to meet this probability, by which it was agreed, that if the Treasury were Avilling to take the place of the contractors, and pay the liabilities incurred, the Society of Arts should have the power of determining the contract before the 1st February, 1850. In the event of an exercise of this power the compensation to be paid to the Messrs. MuNDAY for their outlay and the risk was to be settled by arbitration. The Society of Arts having thus secured the performance of the pecuniary part of the undertaking, the next step taken was to ascertain the readiness of the public to promote the Exhibition. It has been shown that the proof of this readiness would materially influence Her Majesty's Government in consenting to the proposal to issue a Eoyal Commission to superintend the Exhibition. The Prince Albert, as President of the Society of Arts, therefore commissioned several members of the Society, in the autumn of 1849, to proceed to the Visits to the <« manufacturing districts of the country, in order to collect the opinions of the districts. leading manufacturers, and further evidence with reference to a Great Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations to be held in London in the year 1851, in order that His Royal Highness might bring the results before Her Majesty's Govern- ment." Commissioners were appointed, visits made, and reports of the results submitted to the Prince, from which it appeared that 65 places, comprehending the most important cities and towns of the United Kingdom, had been visited. Public meetings had been held, and local committees of assistance formed in them. It further appeared that nearly 5000 influential persons had registered themselves as promoters of the proposed Exhibition. Upon the presentation of these reports to Her Majesty's Government, the f.°y^^^ Queen was pleased to issue the following Commission, which was published in the London Grazette of 3rd January, 1850 :— Victoria, R.

Given at Our Court at St. James's, the 3rd day of January, in the 13th year of Our reign. By Her Majesty's Command, G. Grey. Tbe foresiglit of the Society of Arts, which had provided a mode by which the JJ^^^'J™*'^'^^^*^^^^ contract might be determined in conformity with the public wishes, was fully justi- the society of fied by the event. So far as the public manifested its opinion it appeared to be its wish that the undertaking should be carried out as a national work. Accordingly at the first meeting of the Commissioners, held on 11th January, 1850, the pro- priety of confirming the contract was discussed, and they resolved to avail them- selves of the powers which the Council of the Society of Arts had reserved. The first act of the Commissioners was the publication of the following announcement:— The Royal Commissioners have felt it their duty, at this their first meeting, to take into their immediate consideration the propriety of confirming the Contract which has been entered into with Messrs. Munday. They are perfectly satisfied that the contract was framed with the sole desire on the part of the Society of Arts of promoting the objects of the Commission,—that in agreeing to it at a time when the success of the scheme was necessarily still doubtful, the Messrs. Munday evinced a most liberal spirit,—that it has hitherto afforded the means of defraying all the preliminary expenses,—and that its conditions are strictly reasonable, and even favourable to the public. After hearing, however, the statements made by individual members of the Commission,— after communicating with the Executive Committee,—and after a full consideration of the whole subject,—the Commissioners have come to the conclusion that it will be more con- sonant with the public feeling, and therefore more conducive to the objects for v^hich the Commission has been appointed, to exercise the power reserved, and at once and absolutely to terminate the contract with the Messrs. Munday. This determination necessarily throws the whole burden of the Exhibition upon voluntary contributions. The experiment is of a national character, and the Commissioners feel that it ought to rest for its support upon national sympathies, and upon such liberal contributions as those sympathies may dictate. * Now Sir Stafford H. Northcote, Bart. The amount of the funds which the pubUc may place at the disposal of the Commis- sioners must determine the extent of accommodation which can be provided for the Ex- hibitors, and the terms on which admission can be given to the articles to be exhibited, and upon which also the public can be admitted to inspect them. The Commissioners wish it to be understood that they are invested with unrestricted power over the application of the funds; that it is their intention to invite competition in respect of all branches of expenditure to which competition can advantageously be applied; and that they will proceed, without delay, to establish regulations for insuring an effectual control over the expenditure, and a satisfactory audit of the accounts. The Commissioners feel, that in thus abandoning a contract which, regarded in a pecu- niary point of view alone, is undoubtedly advantageous to the public, and resting the success of the proposed experiment entirely upon public sympathy, they have adopted a course in harmony with the general feelings of the community. It now rests with the public to determine, by the amount of their contributions, the character of the proposed Exhibition, and the extent of benefit to industry in all its branches which will result from it. It is desirable that subscriptions for this great purpose be immediately commenced throughout the United Kingdom, and the result ascertained with the least possible delay. In the mean time the Commissioners will be actively engaged in preparing the various measures, upon which it will be their duty to come to a final decision as soon as they are enabled definitely to ascertain the extent of the pecuniary means which will be placed at their disposal. It is desirable, before giving any account of the proceedings under the Commis- sion, to notice those changes which necessarily supervened upon the determination of the contract. The Commission itself set forth that the functions of the Commissioners were those of inquiry and general direction, whilst all the pecuniary- responsibilities, and the performance of all the executive duties, were to be carried out by and in the name of the Society of Arts; but when the contract was cancelled, although the Commission itself was not altered, the practical result was to place on the Commissioners individually and personally the whole responsibility of the undertaking, both pecuniary and executive. Under these circumstances the Executive Committee felt it to be their duty to tender their resignations (Min. iv., p. 3), which they did in the following terms:— The members of the Executive Committee submit that the dissolution by the Royal Commission of the contract, which they had been appointed for the purpose of carrying out, has changed the nature of their functions, and even superseded many of them. Thev are of opinion, therefore, that it is desirable that the Royal Commission should be left as free to select the best organization for carrying their intentions into effect, as if the Executive Committee had never been appointed. They feel that they should not be acting in accordance with their sincere wishes of witnessing the perfect success of the Exhibition, if they did not come forward to express their entire readiness at once to place their position in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, and the Royal Commissioners. These resignations were not accepted, and some time elapsed before the executive arrangements were conclusively modified to meet the altered circum- stances of the case. It had been the original intention of the Society of Arts in forming the contract, that in the event of its being determined, the liabilities of the contractors should be simply transferred to the Government, and that the original relations between the Commissioners and the Society of Arts should have remained; but this intention does not seem to have been made sufficiently clear by the deed, and it was not urged by the Society of Arts. The deed of contract simply provided that the Treasury should have power to undertake the liabilities and relieve the Society of Arts from them. This the Treasury did. Mutual liabilities , . -, . .-^ , ^ ^ . . of the Treasury but in doing so, at the same time took a guarantee from the Commissioners and the Com- themselves, and thus the whole responsibilities rested with them. The answer of the Treasury to the Commissioners was that— My Lords have no intention of rendering themselves liable to the payment of any sum on this account; but as it seems that a request from them, that the contract should be deter- mined, is necessary in order to enable the Commissioners to carry out their own intentions, they have no objection to taking the formal step of making the request suggested by the Commissioners to the Council of the Society of Arts, on receiving from the Commissioners an undertaking that the money will be forthcoming when required by Messrs. MuNDAY in conformity with the stipulations of the contract. The Commissioners accordingly undertook that the money should be forth- coming when required {Min. iii., p 7). The Society of Arts gave the requisite notices to the Messrs. Munday, and in due time all the outlay which they had made, amounting to about £23,000, with the interest which had accrued, was repaid to them. The pecuniary liabilities having thus devolved wholly on the Commissioners, it became natural that they should desire to appoint a chief executive officer of their own nomination. Her Majesty was advised to issue supplemental com- missions, appointing Mr. Egbert Stephenson, M.P., a Commissioner, upon his resignation as Chairman of the Executive Committee, and Lieutenant-Colonel W. Reid, R.E., Chairman of the Executive Committee in his place. These appointments were made by the advice of the Government, Mr. liABOUCHERE stating, " that the subject of the executive arrangements had been under their consideration, and that they had proposed to recommend to Her Majesty to appoint Colonel Reid to be Chairman of the Executive Committee" {Min. v., p. 1). The contractors themselves, as well as their nominee, thereupon ceased to attend the meetings of the Executive Committee. The earliest step which the Commissioners took after the determination of the Public Subscrip- contract was to appeal to the country for subscriptions to carry out the Exhi- management, bition. They announced that they had undertaken the absolute control over the expenditure of all money that might come into the hands of their Treasurers, and had made arrangements for auditing accounts, and ensuring the strictest economy. It was pointed out that the scale upon which this important undertaking would be conducted must depend entirely on the amount of pecuniary support which it should receive from the public. The Commissioners appealed with confidence to all classes of the community, to enable them to make such liberal arrangements as would ensure the success of the undertaking in a manner worthy of the character and position of this country, and of the invitation which had been given to the other nations of the world to compete with us in a spirit of generous and friendly emulation. It was announced that the amount of the funds which the public might place at the disposal of the Commissioners must determine the extent of accommodation which could be provided for the Exhibition; and that should any surplus remain, after giving every facility to the exhibitors, and increasing the privileges of the public as spectators, Her Majesty's Commissioners intended to apply the same to purposes strictly in connection with the ends of the Exhibition, or for the establishment of similar exhibitions for the future. All subscriptions were considered to be absolute and definite; they were paid Charter of Incor- poration. to tlie Treasurers of Local Comraittees, and by tliem transferred to the general fund at the Bank of England, in the names of the Treasurers named in the Eoyal Commission. An Appendix to this introduction shows that the gross amount of subscriptions reported as having been received has amounted to £75,000. Of this above £64,000 has been paid to the Commissioners, the balance having been reserved by the Local Committees to meet their expenses of collection, printing, &c. The general financial position of the undertaking at the opening of the Exhibition was as follows :— Heceipts.

Subject to the approval of the Commissioners the direct control over this expenditure has been exercised by a Finance Committee, consisting of Lord Granville (Chairman), Lord Overstone, Mr. Laboqchere, Mr. Gladstone, Sir Alexander Spearman, Mr. T. F. Gibson, Mr. T. Baring, Mr. Cobden, and Mr. Peto. Mr. Edgar A. Bowring has acted as Secretary to the Committee, and Assistant Commissary-General Carpenter, as the financial officer, has administered the actual expenditure of the Commission. The preceding statement of account shows that, even at tlie present time, a considerable liability has been incurred by the Commissioners. At the period when it became necessary to make positive arrangements for the erection of tlie building, the actual receipts were only £35,000 : personal responsibility legally attached to His Eoyal Highness the President, and to every member of the Royal Commission, in respect of every pecuniary engagement. A remedy for this somewhat anomalous position was obtained by means of a charter of incorporation, and the formation of a guarantee fund. The first relieved the Commissioners of all personal responsibihty, and the second insured both the completion of the undertaking, and the House of Commons from the liability of being required to make any grant of the national funds towards it. Letters Patent, dated July, 1850, were issued, incorporating the Commissioners, under the title of ''The Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851," and the charter was accepted 15th August, 1850 {Min. xxviii., p. 1). A guarantee fund of £230,000 was formed by a limited number of persons, including most of the Com- missioners, and other friends of the Exhibition, one of whom opened the list with a subscription of £50,000 : upon the security of this fund the Bank of England consented to make such advances of money as might be wanted from time to time. The fundamental principles upon which it was proposed the Exhibition should be formed had been discussed and settled before the Commission was issued, and are recited in the Commission itself With the requisite limitations and conditions, these principles were confirmed by the Commissioners, and formally announced in the month of February, 1850, so that there was a full year for preparations. It was declared that the productions of all nations would be admitted, and classified lists of objects were prepared by Committees of eminent persons in each department (whose names are given in an Appendix), and published to show the nature of the contributions which exhibitors were invited to send in the four departments of Raw Materials and Produce, Machinery, Manu- factures, and Fine Arts. The regulations by which certain articles were excluded were as follows :— Nothing is suitable for the Exhibition, except such results of human industry as are capable of being preserved without injury during many months. All spirits, wines, and fermented liquors, unless derived from unusual sources, are * inadmissible, except in special cases, and under special restrictions; and when oils, spirits, &c., are exhibited, to prevent accidents, they must be shown in well-secured glass vessels. All highly-inflammable articles, such as gunpowder, detonating powder, lucifer matches, &c., and all live stock, and articles perishable within the duration of the Exhibition, are inadmissible, unless specially excepted. In respect of the fourth section of the Exhibition, SCULPTURE, Models, and the Plastic Art, the following were the limitations :— Objects formed in any kind of material, if they exhibit such a degree of taste and skill as to come under the denomination of Fine Art, may be admitted into this section. The specimens exhibited shall be works of living artists, or works of artists deceased within three years before the 1st of January, 1850. Oil paintings and water-colour paintings, frescoes, drawings, and engravings, are not to be admitted, except as illustrations or examples of materials and processes; and portrait busts are not to be admitted. No single artist will be allowed to exhibit more than three works. It was also announced that the 1st day of May, 1851, was fixed for opening Opemng^fi_xed the Exhibition, and the engagement has been kept: that Her Majesty had been graciously pleased to grant a site for the Exhibition on the south side of Hyde Park, lying between the Kensington Drive and the Ride commonly called Rotten Row, and that exhibitors would be required to deliver their objects, at their own charge and risk, at the building, which would be provided to them free from rent. After much examination and inquiry, the Commissioners resolved that prices were not to be affixed to the articles exhibited, although the articles might be marked as shown for economy of production, and the price stated in an invoice to be sent to the Commissioners for the information of the Juries. It was clear that two very different systems of manao^ement would necessarily Admission of IT 1 1 T-i • • 1 1 TT • T T^- T ' • foreign article have to be adopted towards foreign countries and the United Kingdom, arising out of the difiPerent relations of guest and host. Although it was proposed that the expenses of the building and management should be defrayed by voluntary subscriptions, scrupulous care was taken on every occasion to discourage the receipt of any subscription from any foreigner, resident at home or abroad. Over the admission of British articles, the Commissioners reserved to themselves full powers of control; but as respects Foreign articles, the power of admitting them was confided absolutely to an authority of the country which sent them. In order to give Foreign countries the utmost time for their preparations, and long before the size or character of the building had been determined, the Commissioners resolved to divide a certain large amount of exhibiting space among all Foreign countries, amounting in the whole to above 210,000 superficial feet, or ratlier more than the entire space which France occupied for its two expositions of 1844 and 1849. It was estimated that this amount would be about half the size of the building, which was considered to be a fair proportion. Iwetn'^J^tdes '^'^^ amouut of space which was offered to each Foreign country, and placed at its absolute disposal, was as follows:— Net superficial Net superficial Feet allotted. Feet allotted.

France, for example, obtained upwards of G5,000 superficial feet of exhibiting space, instead of only 50,000 feet. Accompanying the allotment of space sent to each Foreign country and colony, the following instructions were transmitted:—■ No articles of foreign manufacture, to whomsoever they may belong, or wheresoever they may be, can be admitted for exhibition, unless they come with the sanction of the central autho- rity of the country of which they are the produce. All articles forwarded by such central authority will then be admitted, provided they do not require a greater aggregate amount of space than that assigned to the productions of the country from which they come; and, provided also, that they do not violate the general conditions and limitations. It will rest with the central authority in each country to decide upon the merits of the several articles presented for exhibition, and to take care that those which are sent are such as fairly repre- sent the industry of their fellow countrymen. Her Majesty's Commissioners will consider that to be the central authority in each case which is stated to be so by the Government of its country. Having once been put in com- munication with a central authority in any country, they must decline, absolutely and entirely, any communication with private and unauthorized individuals; and should any such be addressed to them, they can only refer it to the central body. This decision is essen- tially necessary, in order to prevent confusion. The Commissioners do not insist upon articles being in all cases actually forwarded by the central authority, though they consider that this would generally be the most satisfactory arrangement; but it is indispensable that the sanction of such authority should in all cases be expressly given, and that it be held responsible for the fitness of such articles for exhi- bition, and for not authorizing the exhibition of a greater quantity than can be accommo- dated in the space assigned to the productions of the country in question. In case the central authority in any country should be of opinion that the space allotted to the productions of that country is greater than it will require, the Commissioners have to request that this opinion may be communicated to them, as it is obvious that it would not appear well if a large vacant space should be left in the department assigned to any country. A definite quantity of space was in like manner offered to eacli of the British And British Co- Colonies in the following proportions, and subject to the same rules for admission: Net superficial Net superficial Feet allotted.

The building of the Ex- hibition has been considered as a bonded warehouse, and the Commissioners of Customs have afforded the utmost facilities consistently with that obedience to Customs' laws, which was imperative. Those who have had experience only of the continental systems of exhibitions, Seif-snpporting which are managed and paid for wholly by their Governments, find it difficult to ExhiSa?^ understand the self-supporting and self acting principle of the present Exhibition, which has hitherto depended wholly upon the voluntary subscriptions of the British people : the heavy liabilities which still hang over the undertaking rest wholly upon individuals in their private capacity, and not upon the Government. The British people, as well poor and working men, as the richer classes, have had the undivided responsibility, not only of conducting the first experiment of an Exhibition of their own works on a national scale, but of collecting funds to pay all the expenses of an Exhibition of the Works of all Nations. Our National Exchequer has not been charged with any portion of the expenses, but the con- G tributions of the most remote towns have been received and applied, even in payment of tlie military and police assistance wHcli the Grovernment has per- mitted to be employed on the occasion. So completely spontaneous has been the organization for the Exhibition, that not even the several mmiicipal councils throughout the country were employed, but an independent organization was created for tlie express purpose Avherever a locality was disposed to form its own Local Committee. Without the assistance of the Local Committees of the United Kingdom, no Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations could ever have been accomplished. m^t?Je?ofthe About 65 Local Committees had been formed before the issue of the Eoyal United Kingdom. Commission, with the assistance of the Members of the Society of Arts, who had been nominated by the President to visit different parts of the kingdom. To extend this organization over the whole kingdom, into Local Committees, was one of the first acts of the Eoyal Commission. A circular was issued to the Mayors of all towns within the United Kingdom, having a municipal constitution {Min. i., p. I), announcing the issue of the Eoyal Commission, and requesting, if no Local Committee had been formed, that the mayor would commimicate with the principal inhabitants for the purpose of ascertaining whether, in their opinion, the circumstances of the town rendered it advisable to appoint a Local Committee. The functions of these Local Committees have chiefly consisted in the recom- mendation of Local Commissioners to represent the interests of their localities— in encouraging the production of sidtable objects for exhibition—in affording information in the locality relative to the Exhibition—in the collection of sub- scriptions—and in facilitating the means of visiting the Exhibition. The Commissioners intimated that it was their wish to limit, as far as possible, the necessity for the exercise of the powers of rejection and selection of objects intended for exhibition, and for that purpose to call to their assistance the local knowledge and discretion of the several Local Committees. They recommended that the Local Committees should enter into personal communication Avith those persons resident within their district, who were likely to be exhibitors; and that they should ascertain the character and number of the objects which it would be their wish to send to the Exhibition. For the purpose of communicating with the Local Committees, the Commissioners appointed Dr. Lyon Playfair, and Lieut.-Colonel Lloyd, Surveyor-General of the Mauritius, Special Commissioners. Demand for space ft was uot rcQuired that cxliibitors should of necessity be subscribers to the 1?V J^ritisli 6xh.ibi- tors. fund. All persons desirous of contributing articles to the Exhibition of 1851, were invited to give notice of such intention, and transmit a general description of the nature of each article, and the space which would be required for the exhibition of it, to the Secretary of the nearest Local Committee, and the Local Committee was requested to digest the returns so made to them, and transmit tbeiu to the Com- mission before the 31st Oct., 1850. It was not necessary in the first instance either to exhibit to the Local Committee specimens of the articles to be sent, or to give a minute specification of them. But it was decided that it was necessary for intending exhibitors to obtain the certificate of the nearest Local Committee, of its approval of the articles sent for exhibition, before they could be received by the Commissioners in the building. Upwards of 330 Local Committees were formed in the three parts of tlie United Kingdom and the Channel Isles. A list of those which have transmitted subscriptions to the fund, or sent articles to the Exhibition, will be found in the Appendix. The 31st October was appointed tlie last day when the Local Committees were required to transmit to the Executive Committee the demands for space which intending exhibitors had made through them. It then appeared that the whole of the demands for horizontal (floor and counter) ^^^^l^^^^^^^^^^^^^ space in the building which the Local Committees of the United Kingdom returned, exceeded 417,000 superficial feet of exhibiting space, being in excess of the amount of available space for the United Kingdom by about 210,000 superficial feet. The amount of vertical or wall space demanded was only 200,000 super- ficial feet. The number of persons who proposed to exhibit was upwards of 8,200. Upon the receipt of these data the Commissioners proceeded to adjust the proportions of floor or counter space which it appeared desirable that the four sections of the Exhibition should occupy in the Building. Upon averages, furnished by the whole of the United Kingdom, and obtained by dividing the total amount of space apportioned to each section by the number of exhibitors in that section, the Commissioners, as a general rule, allotted to each Local Com- mittee an amount of space in each section, in proportion to the number of exhibitors which had been returned by each Committee. The Commissioners left the allotment of space to each exhibitor absolutely to the discretion of each Local Committee. They desired that each Local Committee, in allotting space to the individual exhibitors, should, as far as possible, maintain the proportions of the four sections allotted to it, so that in the ultimate arrangement of the whole Exhibition, the space which each section might occupy, should agree as closely as was possible with the spaces fixed by the Commissioners. It was suggested that only those articles which did honour to our industrial skill as a nation should be admitted, and that the industry of the district should be represented with perfect fairness, so as to do the fullest credit to its industrial position. The Commissioners then proceeded to cause copies of each individual appli-Reduction of de- p , . \. . „ mands for space. cation lor space to be transmitted to the respective Local Committees lor revision and correction where necessary, which, when returned by the Committees, were considered as the vouchers for the admission of the articles, and as tantamount to their unqualified approbation of the articles. In no case could a Local Committee increase the amount of the total space allotted to it by the Commissioners. The Commissioners appointed the 10th December, as the last day on which vouchers were to be received, but it was not until the 10th January, and even much later in some cases, that the Executive Committee obtained the whole of them, by which their labours were considerably increased, and the arrangements delayed. If any productions had been rejected by any Local Committee, and the pro- Appeals, prietor of them desired to appeal against the decision, it was competent for him to address the Commissioners through the Local Committee, who forwarded the appeal, with their own observations, and the Commissioners, upon consideration of the circumstances, confirmed or negatived the decision. The appeals, however, were few. With the view of providing against the exhibition of duplicate articles of manufacture, the Commissioners, in cases where duplicates might have been admitted by different Local Committees, intimated that they would call upon the exhibitors of such duplicates to produce a certificate from the actual makers, stating which of the exhibitors had arranged with the maker to be proprietor of the absolute and exclusive right of sale and distribution of such article, and the preference of admission would be given to that exhibitor who was the sole pro- C 2 prietor. Tlie Commissioners were not called upon to exercise this power in a single instance. Metropolis. Altliough scvcral Local Committees wei^c formed in the Metropolis, tlie func- tions of rejection and selection of articles were performed bj a united action of all tlie several Committees, Each Committee nominated Commissioners to repre- sent a particular department of the Exhibition, who met together to consider the merits of the individual claims for space referred to them. Such was the course of action by which the articles of British exhibitors were admitted to the Exhibition, and subjected to a preliminary judgment. Imperfect as it necessarily was, the general effect of it was satisfactory, and kept out of the Exhibition many unsuitable articles. Practically the system worked well, and there is no doubt that the Exhibition, as a whole, is a fair representation of the present state of British industry. An examination of the list of exhibitors shows that very few names indeed of artists or manufacturers of eminence are absent. It is probable, however, that there are fewer novelties in mechanical inventions than there would otherwise have been, had the Legislature provided against piracy of them at an earlier period than April, 1851. TheBuiiding. It is now time to speak of the origin of the Building, and of its general features, so far as they have influenced the system which has been adopted in classifying and arranging the articles in it. An account of its scientific construction will be found in another part of this volume. As early as January, 1850, the Commission named a Committee ''for all matters relatins[ to the Buildiiip^,' consisting of— The Duke of Buccleuch. The Earl of Ellesmere. Mr. Barey, R.A. Mr. CUBITT, Pres. Inst. C.E. Mr. Stephenson. Mr. Cockerell, R.A. Mr. Brunel. Mr. Donaldson. Mr. CUBITT was elected Chairman of this Committee, and from the earliest period to the opening of the Exhibition, has given daily and unremitting atten- tion to the subject, at great personal sacrifice of his valuable time. On the 21st of Eebruary, 1850, the Building Committee reported favourably on the fitness of the present site in Hyde Park, Avhich had been suggested in the early stages of the undertaking, and for the use of Avhich it had been already announced that Her Majesty's permission had been obtained. The Committee ventured at once to recommend that upwards of 16 acres should be covered in ; a bold step at that time (21st February), when no data whatever of the space likely to be filled had been received {Min. vii., p. 5). It was their opinion that it was desirable to obtain suggestions, by public competition, as to the general arrangements of the ground plan of the Building, and public invitations were accordingly issued. They also reported that when a plan for the general arrangement should have been obtained and approved, they would invite, by a second public notice, designs accompanied by tenders, from the builders and manufacturers of the United Kingdom, for the construction of the Building, in the form, and according to the general arrangement, which should be lixed upon. In answer to the invitation to send .in plans, upwards of 245 designs and specifications were submitted. Of these 38 were con- tributed by foreigners : France sending 27 ; Belgium 2; Holland 3 ; Hanover 1; isaples 1; Switzerland 2 ; Khein Prussia 1; Hamburg 1; 128 by residents in London and its environs; 51 by residents in provincial towns of England; 6 by residents in Scotland; 3 by residents in Ireland; and 7 Avere anonymous. All tliese plans were publicly exhibited during a month, from the 10th of June, at the Institution of Civil Engineers, Great George Street, Westminster. The Build- ing Committee reported on the merits of them, selecting two lists of the competi- tors. They considered the one ''entitled to favourable and honourable mention," and the second " entitled to further higher honorary distinction." But they accompanied their report with the important announcement, that in their opinion tliere was no " single plan so accordant with the peculiar objects in view, either in the principle or detail of its arrangement, as to warrant them in recommending it for adoption" {Min. xvii., p. 6). The Committee, therefore, submitted a plan of i^'ir^tplan, their own, and assisted by Mr. Digby Wyatt, Mr. Chakles Heard Wild, and Mr, Owen Jones, they prepared extensive working drawings, which were litho- graphed. They issued invitations for tenders to execute works in accordance with them, requesting from competitors, in addition, such suggestions and modifications, accompanied with estimates of cost, as might possibly become the means of elFect- ing a considerable reduction upon the general expense. In the actual instructions they stipulated that tenders, in which changes were proposed, would be only entertained provided they were " accompanied by working drawings and specifica- tions, and fully priced bills of quantities." The Building Committee published in detail the reasons, both of economy and taste, which had induced them to prepare plans for a structure of brick, the prin- cipal feature of which was a dome two hundred feet in diameter. Public opinion did not coincide in the propriety of such a building on such a site, and the resi- dents in the neighbourhood raised especial objections. The subject was brought before both Houses of Parliament; and in the House of Commons, on the 4th July, 1850, two divisions took place on the question, whether the proposed site should be used at all for any building for the Exhibition. In the one division, the numbers in favour of the site were 166 to 47, and in the second 166 to 46. The Commissioners published, at considerable length, a statement of the reasons which had induced them to prefer the site, and there can be no doubt that the force of this document mainly influenced the large majority in both divisions. Whilst the plan of the Buildino^ Committee was under discussion, Mr. Paxton Mr. Paxton's . . ... . proposal. was led, by the hostility which it had incurred, to submit a plan for a structure chiefly of glass and iron, on principles similar to those which had been adopted and successfully tried by him at Chatsworth. Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co., tendered for the erection of the Building Committee's plan, and, strictly in accord- ance with the conditions of tender, they also submitted estimates for the construction of the building suggested by Mr. Paxton, and adapted in form to the oflicial ground plan. An engraving of Mr. Paxton's original design was published in the Illustrated London News, 6th July, 1850, which, when compared with the building that has been actually erected, will show what changes were subsequently made. The Commissioners having fully investigated the subject, finally adopted, on the 26th July, Messrs. Fox, Henderson, & Co.'s tender to construct Mr. Paxton's building, as then proposed, for the sum of £79,800. Considerable modifications, additions, and improvements in the architectural details were subsequently made, which have raised the proposed original cost of the building. As soon as the decision was made, fresh working drawings had to be prepared, and every means taken for expediting the works. These were carried on under the superintendence of Mr. CuBiTT, assisted by Mr. D. Wyatt, Mr. 0. Jones, and Mr. C. Wild. The formal deed of contract was not signed until the 31st October, although the first iron column was fixed as early the 26th September, 1850, the contractors having thereby incurred, in their preparations, a liability of £50,000 without any positive contract; in fact, great reciprocal confidence was manifested by the contracting parties. Whatever objections were entertained originally against the use of the site, gradually disappeared during the progress of the present building, and have become changed into positive approval and admira- tion, of the building itself and assent to the particular location of it. It should, however, be stated that a deed of covenant, to remove the building and give up the site within seven months after the close of the Exhibition, namely before the 1st June, 1852, has been entered into between Her Majesty and the Commissioners. The deed was sealed on the 14th November, 1850. At a very early period the Commissioners resolved that the whole space of any building should be equally divided, and that one-half should be offered to Foreign countries, and the other reserved to Great Britain and her colonies. And almost simultaneously with this decision, before the plans of any building were settled, offers were made to foreign countries, assuring them more than 210,000 superfi- cial feet of net exhibiting space. But after the ground plan had been settled, and a calculation had been made of the amount of space unavailable for ex- hibition that was absorbed by the transept, the avenues, the courts and offices, &c., it became evident that the remaining space, after deducting what had been assured to foreigners, was considerably less than the proportion due to Grreat Britain and her colonies, and much below the demands and wants of British exhibitors. It was at first suggested that an additional structure should be erected to accommodate the agricultural implements, outside the building, but it was found that reasons both of economy and of management greatly preponderated in favour of building an additional gallery, which was accordingly done. aassification and j,;^^ order to scttlc the positive arrano^ement of articles in tlie building, it became arrangement of JL ^ o ^ ^ , , articles. ucccssary to prepare a more precise system of classification than that furnished by the classified list of admissible objects which the Commissioners had first issued. The various systems which had been tried in the French Expositions proved that any system based upon an abstract philosophical theory was unsuit- able, and particularly so to the present Exhibition. It was also desirable that the system of classification should be made conducive to the readiest mode of consult- ing the vast collection, both by the general visitor and by the juries, who would have to consider the merits of the whole. Dr. Playfair, to whom the Commis- sioners had confided the superintendence of the juries, suggested that whilst preserving the original quadrupartite divisions of the Exhibition into Eaw Produce and Materials, Machinery, Manufactures, and Fine Arts, those sub- divisions which had been determined by commercial experience, should be adopted as far as practicable, as the basis of the Classification. Eminent men of science, and manufacturers in all branches, were invited to assist in determining each one the ■ boundaries of his own special class of productions; and it was resolved, for the pur- poses of the jury, to adopt thirty broad divisions, and to induce as far as practicable the application of this classification to all articles—both British and Foreign; always, however, bearing in mind the fundamental rule, that the productions of an exhibitor would not be separated, except in very extreme cases. Accordingly, with few exceptions, all articles have been divided into the following thirty classes. To save repetition, tlie numbers of tlie jurors wliicli have been since assigned to each- class are liere given. Section I.

To effect this, in so vast an Exhibition and within the short period of two months allowed for the arrange- ment, it was absolutely necessary to know, before the arrival of the articles, the approximate amount of space each would be likely to occupy—so that each on its arrival might be placed as nearly as possible in its appointed spot. But the event proved that this information, particularly in the case of Foreign countries, was unattainahle. A request was made that eacli Foreign country should inform the Commis- sioners, on or before the 1st of September, wbat space would be likely to be occupied respectively by its raw materials, its macliinery, its manufactures, and fine arts; but only Austria, Belgium, ZoUverein, and North Germany complied with this request, and furnished the information in sufficient detail. The great distance of other countries rendered the transmission of the information impossible, and practically it was not known what articles many very important countries ?^niemeluor ^ould scud, uutil they actually arrived. No choice remained but to adopt a ^iSScies.^''^*'" geographical arrangement; and it was not until so late a period as the month of December that the Commissioners were enabled to decide the principles upon which the articles should be arranged in the Building. Circumstances connected with the form of the Building itself, the absence of the necessary information from Foreign countries, the great pressure for time, and above all the vital importance of punctually opening the Exhibition on the first of May, induced the division of the ground floor of the Building into two parts—the one being awarded to Foreign countries, and the other to the British colonies and the United Kingdom. The productions of the United Kingdom and the British colonies are generally grouped westward of the central transept. The productions of each foreign country are placed together eastward of tlie transept—except machinery in motion, which, on account of the motive power being at the north-west end of the building, is placed in that part of the building. The productions of each country are classified nation by nation, and as far as practicable into the thirty classes already mentioned. The position of each country is determined in the building by its own latitude. As a general rule, machinery is placed at the north side, and raw materials and pro- duce brought to the south side of the building. The intermediate parts are occupied by manufactures and fine arts. There is hardly any choice in respect of light, which is nearly the same in all parts of the building. The south side, as well as the roof of the building both in the north and south sides, is covered with canvas. The sides of the upper and the gallery tier on the north are not so Allotment of covcrcd, As a general rule applicable both to foreign countries and the United in the buiidiig?*^ Kingdom, space was allotted on the following data :—on the ground floor, each area of 24 feet by 24 feet containing 576 feet superficial, was accounted as yielding exhibiting area of 384 feet, it being considered that 192 feet would be a sufficient allowance for passages. The width of these was determined by experiments in the building and by experience of those in the British Museum, in the Soho Bazaar, &c. In the gallery, half of each area was deducted for passages, and the other half, or 288 feet, assigned as exhibiting space. If the exhibitor wished to have more passage-room, then he was obliged to obtain it by deducting it from his exhibiting space: and every exhibitor, desiring to attend himself, or by his representative, during the Exhibition, had to deduct the sitting or standing space for such attendant from the superficial floor or counter-space allotted to him. System of ^ glaucc at thc plan shows the adoption of a simple system of main passages. There is a central avenue 72 feet wide running from east to west, which is partially used to display both works of art and remarkable specimens of manu- facture, and likewise to afford sitting room ; parallel to this on each of the north and south sides are two uninterrupted passages 8 feet wide, one extending the length of the building and the other taking the circuit of the walls on each side. Besides the transept there are six main passages 8 feet wide, running from north to south. These were established as passages which must not be infringed upon : portions of the building being tlien assigned to Foreign countries and to groups of exhibitors, a considerable latitude was permitted to them in arranging the other passages ; at the same time, as the erection of the second gallery brought the whole building into a system of courts, spaces in the form of courts were allotted to Foreign countries, home districts, and classes of objects, and every one was encouraged to preserve them as much as possible. Thus on the British side, at the north there are the several machinery courts—the carriage court—the mineral court—the paper court—the miscellaneous court—the East India court; whilst at the south, there are three courts respectively for printed fabrics, for flax and woollen, and mixed fabrics :—furniture has its court, so have the manufactures of Birmingham and Sheffield—agricultural implements have an extensive court, and there are courts for mediseval furniture, for sculpture, for Canada and colonies, and the East Indies ; on the east or Foreign side, almost every country has one or more courts,—France having eight, Austria six, &c. Spaces of the requisite dimensions having been set apart to receive the pro- ductions of the Colonies and each Foreign country, the charge of these depart- ments, as well as the arrangement of the productions, was handed over to each commissioner or agent representing such Colonies or Foreign country. On account of the vast magnitude of the building, of the shortness of time Arrangement of Britisli articles. available for arrangement after the completion of the building, which as the event proved was hardly a week before the opening, and of the delay in sending the goods, it was foreseen by the Executive Committee tha.t it would be necessary to arrange the Foreign productions geographically and the whole of the British Exhibition, not by means of the articles themselves, but of descriptions of them, and to map out the whole space before the articles themselves arrived. Not a few of these descriptions were in the first instance most vague; the exhibitor desiring to reveal as little as possible of the specific character of his articles. Many exhibitors demanded space for " fabrics," without specifying whether they were even woven or plastic. Others returned woven fabrics," leaving it doubtful whether they were made of cotton, wool, or flax; each forming a separate class. The demands for space, merely for "inventions" and "machines," were numerous. Hence, there have crept in some errors in arrangement which would have been avoided had the description been more precise. Another source of difficulty has been the miscalculations of the amount of space which exhibitors really wanted. So frequently was the meaning of the term "superficial" and "square" feet misunderstood; so often were the expressions ''horizontal" and "vertical" space disregarded or con- founded, that in planning the arrangement of the Exhibition the difficulties of the Executive Committee have been great, and mistakes inevitable. One instance will afford a sufficient illustration. An important manufacturing town demanded 9,000 feet of wall or vertical space for the exhibition of its shawls, but when the demand came to be investigated, it was found to mean a demand for 900 feet of frontage on the wall, 10 feet high, and 3 feet deep—practically a demand for 27,000 superficial feet—to be arranged in such a way as would occupy half the length of the whole Exhibition ! This demand of 27,000, was eventually com- pressed within 1,800 superficial feet of horizontal space, and submitted to, it must be admitted, with good-natured forbearance. Indeed, it may be said, that whilst almost every exhibitor desired some kind of special arrangement, convenient to himself, but inconvenient to everybody else, almost every one submitted to a curtailment of space, and a constraint on his wishes, with a patience that greatly lightened the labours of the Executive Committee. In fact, owing to these circumstances, inevitable in such a work, without precedent or experience, and to the very late period at which some demands for space were made, it was only possible to make an approximate guess at the space which each of the classes of goods of the United Kingdom would occupy, and to leave a considerable margin for adjustments. It should be borne in mind that every Foreign country was able to regulate the character of the arrangement by the articles themselves. The whole of its articles were first collected, and then the arrangement settled. Every Foreign country, in this respect, stood in the same position as an individual British exhibitor; but on the British side, the general arrangement, and almost the position of each of the 7,000 exhibitors, were necessarily fixed before the articles were brought into the building. An elaborate classified list of sub- jects included in each of the 30 classes was prepared, and recommended as a basis of arrangement to exhibitors, though, from the causes already stated, the systematic classification could not be carried out in so complete a manner as was desired. At the British side, every exhibitor had entire control over his own allot- ment, the Commissioners, from an early period, having decided that each exhibitor was at liberty to arrange such articles in his own way, so far as was compatible with the convenience of other exhibitors and of the public. When the exhibitor's wishes involved expense, the exhibitor defrayed it himself. Glass cases, frames, and stands of peculiar construction, and similar contrivances for the display or protection of the goods exhibited, were provided by the person requiring them at his own cost. Persons who wished to exhibit machines, or trains of machinery in motion, were permitted to do so. The Commissioners found steam not exceeding 30 lbs. per inch gratuitously to the exhibitors, and conveyed it in clothed pipes to such parts of the building as required steam power. Arrange- ments were made to supply water at a high pressure gratuitously to exhibitors, who had the privilege of adapting it to the working of their machinery, &c. And the Chelsea Water-works contracted to supply 300,000 gallons of water per day, at the rate of £50 per month. Catalogues. It was dccidcd that two Official Catalogues should be prepared and published by the authority of the Commission; the one of a large size, containing full notices of everything that the exhibitor desired to state, and the other an abridgment containing the names of the exhibitors only, with a very general summary of the articles they exhibited. The right of printing and publishing these was offered for competition. The contractors were at liberty to fix the price of the large Catalogue. The smaller Catalogue was to be sold at Is., and the contractors were bound to pay 2d. for every copy sold to the funds. Several parties tendered. The offer of Messrs. Spicer Brothers, and Messrs. Clowes and Sons, as the highest, was accepted; the amount of their offer being £3,200 It was also provided {Min. xxix., p. 1), that should the number sold exceed 500,000 of the small edition, and 5,000 of the large, then the contractors should give a further sum for all sold over and above those numbers. The contract was sealed 6 th January, 1851. Insurance from TYiQ insuraucc of goods from fire, or other kinds of accidents, and the responsi- bility for all losses, devolved upon the exhibitors. The Metropolitan Fire Brigade took charge of the safety of the Building from fire. With the permission of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the responsibility for the whole of the police arrangements was placed upon Mr. Mayne, the Chief Com- Police, missioner of Police. The Commissioners expressed their willingness to pay the sum of £5,043 19s. 4E Lessicps, Directeur des Consulats et des Affaires Commerciales au Ministere des Af- faires Etrangeres.

Had circumstances determined that tlie present industrial position of England The present should have been represented by the building alone, while other nations should tron"of"Engw have been allowed to indicate the scope of their resources by a display of choice building, as well specimens of all the varied branches of productions to which their efforts had of characteristics of late years been directed, it is singular to remark how few elements, essential to her commercial success, would have been lost sight of The courage of her both personal citizens would have been manifested in the vastness of the scheme, their energy, determination, and strength, in the surprising rapidity with which every operation had been carried on. The happy condition of the liberty of the subject would have been attested ^nd social, by the circumstance of its having been in the power of the people alone to will the existence of so vast a structure; while the fact that the whole expenses had been provided for without in any way trenching on the national resources, would have evidenced at once the wealth and the spirit of enterprise common to every class of society. That it should have been possible in any country to have so speedily collected Evidence given by such a vast quantity of materials, without previously sounding the note of prepara- exteiTof'nftk)nai tion, would have furnished strong evidence of the abundance of its native resources, production of and conveyed some faint idea of the extent of the stores of raw material kept ^ ' ever ready to supply the exigencies of sudden demand. That that raw material should have been moulded into forms so various, so complex, and so original, in so short a time, would argue that such a result could alone have been effected by the natives of a country in which a knowledge of the principles and practice of mechanics and machinery had been long deeply studied and widely diffused. Machinery, The facility with which the machinery employed must have been brought to bear upon the masses of raw material supplied, would have evidenced a power to produce, and to elaborate matter into manufacture, of the very highest order; Manufactures, while the grace with which the charm of decoration has been superadded, to so utilitarian a structure, would have served to show, that mindful as the English habitually are, of the practical and economical, they are by no means indifferent and objects of to the beautiful in the Fine Arts. ^'"^ Whoever had been enabled to trace through every stage the progress of the organization of Exhibition Building, from the first order given by the contractor, to the issue of Ifp^erat'Cfn'rup- the final directions for its opening, would have had an opportunity of realising the P^y*'^^^^^^p^'^ perfection to which the practice of connecting commercial co-operation in supply, E and mutual reliance in money and time bargains, with the methodical organization of labour, has been carried in England at the present time. It is by means of mSs!"^'"^^""^ tl^G experience acquired in the conduct of the vast engineering works which have of late years occupied the attention, and commanded the labours of some of her most intelligent citizens, that this country has been enabled to reduce to a per- fect system this power of subordinating the supply of materials, and of eliciting, in similar works, that precise description of labour from every individual, for whicli his natural characteristics or education may have specially qualified him. Combination and The firm throudi whose exertions the buildinff has been erected, in itself division of labour ... necessary to carry prescuts au cxcelleut modcl of thc commcrcial constitution necessary to produce out such works. ^ ... . . . . such great works with rapidity. While of its heads, one is remarkable for high scientific attainments, another possesses singular commercial aptitude, together with a minute knowledge of the working details of his business. Others again, bring to the common stock of intelligence a precise knowledge of legal and monetary transactions, together with experience acquired in many years' con- nection with speculations of great magnitude. The principal superintendents and foremen set in operation by this intellectual motive power, are each adapted to the particular duties they may be called upon to perform, and act precisely as the various portions of a well-devised machine, being at the same time maintained in as perfect control. Through these agents the labour of the artisan, skilled in his own department, profoundly ignorant in others, is brought into useful opera- tion ; and thus thousands are combined to realise the will of one directing mind. But for the perfect system of discipline, which frequent practice in directing the labours of masses of workmen has now made general throughout England, it would have been impossible to have fashioned, in so short a time, so novel and so vast a structure as this Temple of Peace, the gates of which may, we trust, be thrown open to the world at large, for many years to come.

The bniidin;> powcr, cau ouly be ascertamed by a minute examination oi its anatomy; and we n. Its creation, sliall therefore proceed to sketch in some detail its actual nature and appearance, and the successive steps by which it has grown into its present condition. The site for the building is the one originally proposed for it by H.R.H. Prince Albert at the first private meeting, held on the subject of the Exhibition, at Buckingham Palace, on the 30th June, 1849. It consists of a rectangular strip Vark'^^^^^^^ ground in Hyde Park, situated between the Queen's Drive and Rotten Row, and contains about 26 acres ; being approximately 2,300 feet in length, by 500 feet in breadth. Its principal frontage extends from east to west. Several lofty elms stretch across the centre of its length, and a few smaller trees are scattered over its area. These trees have for the most part been retained, and to the finest of them we are indebted for the existence of the beautiful transept roof; since, had they not presented difficulties to the construction of a roof of lower pitch, it is more than probable that the noble vault which now spans them would have been scarcely ventured on. The ground, although apparently level, actually falls, not less than 1 in 250 fi:om west to east. From the popularity of the spot, the ease with which it can be approached, the opportunities for ob- taining beautiful views of the building from every direction, and the facility with which it has been drained, and supplied with gas and water, it is scarcely possible that a site could have been found more admirably adapted for such a purpose, than the one upon which the building now stands. The principal entrance to the Exhibition is situated in the centre of the south The Building -.- • n TIT ^ ^ n n ^ • tt i principal side, opposite to the Prince of Wales s Gate, one of the mam entrances to Hyde entrance; Park. From this gate a good view of the southern faqade of the transept (shown in fig» No. 1) is obtained. Passing through a vestibule, 72 feet by 48, the Fig. 1. visitor finds admittance to the main building, and stands beneath the roof of the great feature of the whole, the transept. Above his head, at a height of 68 feet from the ground, springs a semi-cylindrical vault, 72 feet in diameter, which extends for a lene^th of 408 feet from south to north. On each side of the space " coupd a-i o ^ ^ _ J- on entering; SO covered, runs an aisle 24 feet wide. The coup d'oeil" afforded by the transept is represented in Plate I.

Advancing about halfway along the transept, the visitor will find himself as nearly as possible in the centre of the building; and from this point his eye may its central point range eastward and westward along its vast nave, for a distance of upwards of 900 feet in each direction; the total length of the building being not less than 1848 feet. By reference to the ground plan given at page 1, and to fig. 2, a clearer idea may be formed of the manner in which the vast area, that thus opens itself to the view, has been distributed, than could be conveyed by many pages of description. The nave is a grand avenue 64 feet high and 72 feet wide, crossing its extent, the transept at right angles. On each side of it extend aisles 24 feet in width, and above them, at a height of 24 feet from the ground, are carried galleries, surrounding the whole of the nave and the transept; so that a complete circuit of communication is carried throughout the whole structure at that level. Beyond these first aisles, and parallel with them, at a distance of 48 feet, are and divisions on second aisles of similar width, and similarly covered for their whole width witli galleries on the same level as those over the first aisles. In order that tlie E 2 I Its lightness of proportion, no evidence of instability. General nature of materials. Quantities of wrought iron; Cast iron; Glass ; Wood. The plan divided into squares of 24 feet. Necessity of realizing the de- tail of one 24-feet bay,in order thereby to judge of the whoie area. The description of a 24-feet bay commenced. The foundations public may pass freely from one line of galleries to the other, bridges, at frequent intervals, span the 48 feet avenues, and at the same time divide them into courts, each of which has been so arranged as to present an " ensemble" to the eye of the spectator looking down upon it from the galleries. The width of 48 feet which we have described as thus subdivided, and the second aisles, are roofed over at a height of 44 feet from the ground. The remaining portion of the building in width consists of one story only, 24 feet high; in which, of course, there are no galleries. Ten double staircases, 8 feet wide, give access to these galleries. The airy lightness of the whole structure, and its immense dimensions, are the features which will no doubt first excite the wonder, and perhaps the timidity of the visitor; but when he learns how rigidly the strength of every portion has been investigated, with what care the connection of every part has been made, and that the whole of that which appears to him so complicated, is but the repetition of a few simple elements, he will throw aside alarm, and rest upon the con- sciousness that those most competent to investigate questions of force to overturn, and strength to resist, have spared no pains to assure themselves of the perfection of the parts, and the consequent stability of the whole. The lightness of the proportions will at once assure the spectator of the nature of the material which forms the main supports of the building. While the vertical supports consist entirely of cast-iron, the horizontal connections and girders are constructed of both wrought and cast iron. Of wrought-iron it has been esti- mated that no less than 550 tons have been used, and of cast-iron 3,500 tons. The whole of the roof, above the highest tier of iron frame-work, consists of wood and glass, and the external enclosures and face-work are constructed almost entirely of the same materials. It is estimated that 896,000 superficial feet of glass, weighing 400 tons, have been employed; whilst the quantity of wood used, in- cluding the whole of the flooring, has been no less than 600,000 cubic feet. In designing the building, care has been taken so to arrange that the position of every column shall occur at the points of intersection of lines, 24 feet apart, crossing one another at right angles, while in roofing and flooring the squares, into which the whole plan has been thus allotted, have been subdivided into others of 8 feet. This arrangement accounts for the beautiful regularity of the lines of the columns, &c., when viewed diagonally. In order to aflbrd some idea of the extent of mechanical difficulties involved in the erection of such a building, and to furnish, as it were, a scale by which to estimate the nature of the work, we shall proceed, before entering upon the subject of its general extent and arrangement, to describe the mode of construc- tion of one of the 24-feet bays or compartments, taken at random from the side aisle adjoining the main avenue. The exact situation of the four columns enclosing the space referred to having first been determined, holes were dug to such a depth as to lay bare the gravel; which extends, with scarcely a fault, over the whole surface of the site, at an average depth of between 2 and 4 feet. The size of the holes dug out for the foundations, and the quantity of concrete thrown into those holes in order to form a secure foundation for the superstructure, was determined by the estimated weight of that superstructure; and it was so arranged that, allowing for every possible contingency, under no circumstances should a pressure greater than 2J tons per foot superficial be brought to bear upon the foundation. Fig. 3. Those serving to convey away roof « ater; Ho .v connected with columns. On the surface of fine mortar, with which the concrete was covered, was placed The^base^p^^^^ a casting, which has been technically called a hase-plate. This casting is repre- sented in fig. 3. The lower part consists of a horizontal plate, having attached to it a vertical tube, corresponding in form with the column which it serves to carry. The con- nection of the plate with this tube is strength- ened by shoulders. The length of the whole of the base-plates being set north and south, in those through which roof-water is con- ducted, two sockets, issuing from the lower part of the tube, extend for some distance on each side in an opposite, or eastern and west- ern direction. Into these sockets cast-iron pipes 6 inches in diameter are inserted, serving as drains to convey away the water; which, passing through the columns above, and through the hollow tubes of the base- plates, escapes into the pipes referred to, and finds its way to capacious drains situated in the centre, and at the extreme east-end of the building, which, in their turn, convey the water to the main sewer in the Kensington-road. At the upper por- tion of the tube of the base-plate, four pro- jections with holes in them, are cast. At the foot of the column, which is of similar form to the base-plate, are similar projec- tions, with corresponding holes. The upper face of the tube, and the under face of the column, being planed perfectly flat and true, the holes cast in the projections of the one exactly fit those cast to correspond with them in the other. Bolts having been then dropped through the holes in both are secured by nuts; and thus the column is attached to the base-plate, almost as rigidly as if the two had issued from one mould. As a proof of the singular accuracy with which the whole of these base-plates have been set upon their foundations, it may be mentioned that in every instance, the holes in the upper face or ^bearing surface of the base-plate, have precisely corresponded with those cast in the under face of the columns, at the exact height at which it had been pre-arranged that they should be fixed; and the two (columns and base-plates) have been united without involving the necessity of inserting any packing between them. Pieces of canvas only, cut to the exact form of the bearing surfaces, and dipped in white lead, have been interposed, with a view to insure the joints remaining perfectly secure and water-tight. The tops of the base-plates rise 31 inches above the ground-fioor. The columns are 8 inches in diameter, and those on the groimd-floor are 18 feet The columns: 5^ inches high. The plan or horizontal section of these columns, which was the suggestion of Mr. Barry, is well adapted for its purpose, mechanically as well as artistically; for while it presents a pleasing variation from the ordinary circular form, the different flat bands upon it afford surfaces well suited for the con- Base Plate. noction and attachment of the necessary girders, which serve at once to support the galleries and roof, and to tie the various compartments of the building into one vast network. The columns are made hollow, in order to convey the water from the roof of the building; and the thickness of the metal of which they are composed varies, according to the weight each column is intended to support, from I of an inch to 1^ inch. The square faces already mentioned add, however, considerably to the sectional area of the metal, upon the amount of which the strength of the column in a great measure depends. Their strength; The extraordinary strength to resist compression in the direction of its length, which the cylindrical form conveys to any material, was illustrated by Professor CowPER, in a lecture delivered by him in the building to the members of the Society of Arts. In a series of experiments with a common quill, and even with a straw, Professor CowPER demonstrated the great force required to crush such slight objects, and, arguing from their comparative scale, illustrated satisfactorily the great strength of the columns in the building. Their attachment Bencatli thc Capital, whlch surrounds the upper part of the column, are con- to fonnecting- . , . -■ f ^ 1 rrn • pieces. cealed projections similar to those at the bottom oi the column. These projections serve to attach to the columns what have been technically designated as con- necting-pieces. TJie peculiar office of the connecting-pieces is to afford, by a small and consequently easily modified casting, the means of securely retaining, and connecting in all directions, the various girders throughout the building. In fig. 4, we have endeavoured to exhibit the peculiar formation of those portions of the connecting-pieces, which serve to effect the end desired. The projections, or, as they are technically termed, " snugs," are cast upon the upper The connecting- and lowcr portious of tlic connecting-pieccSj and act partly as brackets and partly piece*, books, clutcHng ovcr, supporting, and retaining, projections cast upon the ends The attachment to of tlic staudai'ds of thc ffirdcTs. In order to retain the girders in a vertical them of girders p p i • e position, and to prevent any lateral movement, the bottom lace oi that portion of the girder which rests upon the corresponding projection of the connecting-piece, is formed with what is called a tenon, which drops into a mortice-hole (A, fig. 4), cast in the face of the projection of the connecting-piece with which it comes in contact. The top face of the portion of the girder, over which the hook cast upon tlie upper portion of the connecting-piece extends, has a groove sunk upon its surface; a groove corresponding to it in width is also sunk upon the projection of the connecting-piece (C, fig. 4), and a small piece of iron is introduced between the two. This iron acts as a key or dowel, and prevents the two surfaces sliding upon one another. On the upper and lower part of the connecting-piece, between these projections (thereby con- which serve to retain the girders in their places, are cast holes, corresponding with columns) those at the top of the lower columns, and at the bottom of the upper columns; through which bolts being inserted, nuts (BB, fig. 4), fastened to those bolts, secure the columns and connecting-pieces together. A similar arrangement would enable any number of columns and connecting-pieces to be attached to one another, so as to make up one long length. In order to make sure that the shaft thus composed of alternate columns and serving to stiHen connecting-pieces, should be capable of maintaining itself in a perfectly vertical ofaftematr^^'"^ position, it was necessary that the whole of the surfaces of contact should be necthlg-ptecer'^' wrought perfectly true and flat. Every column and every connecting piece had, therefore, to be placed in a lathe ; and the bed or surface at each end faced to a perfectly true plane. When the number of these columns, base-plates, and connect- au bearing faces ing pieces is taken into consideration, it may be easily imagined that the labour ^^'^"^'^ entailed by this apparently simple necessity could scarcely have been performed in any workshops but those provided with extraordinary facilities and resources. In the connecting pieces of the 24-feet bay we are now describing, projections are cast upon three sides, so that girders may be attached in three directions; and thus extend in every direction except that towards the nave, and the 48-feet avenue or court on the other side. The girders, which are attached, as above described, to the connecting pieces. The girders sup- serve to support the gallery floor. As, in the construction of this floor, it had SoorT^ ^^^^^''^ been determined to bring the accumulation of pressure on the girders, upon points at 8 feet intervals, it became necessary, in arranging the form of the girders, to concentrate strength at those points. The vertical lines of the girder have, therefore, been arranged to occur at intervals of 8 feet, connecting the top and bottom tables; on the good proportion of which, to the load to be supported, and to one another, the main strength of the whole depends. Diagonal lines connect the junction of these standards with the top and bottom tables, and the principal parts of the girder present the form shown in Fig. 5. The girders are 3 feet deep, and the sectional area of the top table, (A, fig. 5,) xheii-details; which is of the T form, equals 5*31 inches, and that of the bottom, (B, fig. 5,) which is of a similar shape, but inverted, equals 7'64 inches. The areas of Fig. 5. the diagonal stmts or standards, and ties, average 3-50 inches. The breaking- weight of the girders is calculated, and has been proved by various experiments, to amount to not less than 30 tons. Every one of the gallery-girders which has been used has been proved upon the ground to a strain of 15 tons; and, in exceptional cases, where it has appeared reasonable to expect that an accumulation of weight would have to be borne, their dimensions of thickness have been in- creased, and the amount of proof has amounted to no less than 22^ tons. Their sufficiency A fcw simplc figurcs will clcarly exhibit the sufficiency of these girders to support the loads that are likely to be brought upon them. A bay of gallery- floor, measuring 24 feet by 24 feet, contains 576 square feet; and it has been "'^dead'^weight" ^"^^^^^ ^7 experiment, that it is impossible to load any surface with men to an amount equal to one hundred-weight per foot superficial. Assummg, then, 576 cwts., or say 30 tons, to be by any possibility accumulated upon such a bay of gallery-floor, the load will be distributed over four girders, any two of which have been found to be fully competent to support the load. In thus estimating the sufficiency of the girders, the load they might possibly be called on to support has been considered only as what is called '' dead and a moving Weight," or load to which no momentum of any kind had been imparted. In How tried:— ordcr, then, to test them under the action of a moving weight as well, a series of experiments was instituted. A perfect bay of gallery, 24 feet square, was con- structed, with connecting pieces, girders, flooring, &c., complete. Its surface By workmen; was first crowdcd witli thc contractors' workmen, as tight as they could be packed. The men were then set to walk over it, run over it, and, finally, to j ump upon it with all their force. In order further to observe the efiects which would be produced by a load to which a uniform, instead of an irregular motion, had been conveyed, a number of By soldiers soldicrs of tlic corps of Koyal Sappers and Miners were ordered to march over it, marching ^^^^^ -^^ ^^^^ finally, to mark time upon it in the most trying manner. The result of these experiments developed the correctness of the theory upon which the dimensions of the girders had been based, smce not the slightest damage was done to the bay of gallery ; and the fact was fully evidenced, that the quality of elasticity or springiness in the floor served to protect the girders from the eflect of sudden shocks, and prevented the danger of the communication to them of the accumulating momentum, generated by the possible isochronous movements of a crowd. By rolling round- Emboldened by the satisfactory result of these experiments, a yet more con- bhot m situ, elusive series was instituted. An apparatus was contrived by Mr. Field, the late President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, by means of which it was possible to draw, at a quick walking pace, over the whole of the galleries on which the public would have to tread, a number of 68-pounder shot, collected together so as to produce a uniform load of 100 lbs. per foot superficial. No damage whatever was produced by these rude tests, and they may be considered to have conclusively set at rest any doubts as to the sufficiency, in point of strength, of the gallery-floor, or of the girders which support it. Who made by. The wholc of tlicsc girdcrs are of cast-iron, and, together with the columns and similar castings, have been made in Staflbrdshire, at the foundries of the con- tractors, at the London Works, Smethwick, near Birmingham; at those of Messrs. A. and B. Cochrane, of the Woodside Iron Works, Dudley ; and at those of Messrs. Jobson's, of Holly Hall, near the same town. 25. VIEW OF THE INTEPaOR OF THE BUILDING FROM THE SOUTH El^TRANCE. ^^^^^ The floor, which is supported by these girders, consists of cross-beams, so The gaiiery^door under-trussed with iron rods, shoes, and struts, as to distribute the whole weight girders, that may be brought upon the floor pretty equally upon the eight points at which the ends of the beams rest upon the girders. Joists, stretching from the iron girders to the beams, and from one of the beams to the other, form the supports for a floor which is not more than IJ inch thick, but is at once amply strengthened, and rendered impervious to the passage of dust, by the insertion, in a groove cut in the edge of each floor-board, of iron-hooping, forming a tongue. A railing, designed by Mr. OwEN JONES, surmounted by a mahogany handrail, adds at once to the utility and the beauty of the gallery. The columns which rise at the gallery level are 18 feet 7finches long, and The columns be- are surmounted by connecting pieces, similar in all respects to those occurring and roof^ ^"^^ , beneath. To these connecting pieces are attached, transversely in one direction and longitudinally in two, cast-iron girders of similar form and scantling to those we have described; their office being to maintain perfectly true and rigid, the vertical shafts which carry the eye upward in one unbroken line from the ground to the roof which they serve to support. As the strength of an iron column practically depends upon its length being strengthened by 1- ' -I n 1 • 1 p T • T 1 111 1 division into limited, far more than upon its substance, the value ot dividing the whole length of the shafts reaching from the gallery to the roof into two parts by these connecting-pieces, and thus reducing the length of the columns one-half, must be First tier, readily appreciated. Above the second tier of girders rise columns of the same length as those last Second tier, mentioned, and on them again are placed connecting pieces, to which the girders supporting the roof are attached. These girders correspond with those support- ing the galleries, and exactly resemble those forming the tier immediately beneath them, in every respect except their thicknesses. The whole of the girders on the upper tier have been proved in the building to a strain of nine tons. By extending the area of our observations, we shall be enabled to include all the varieties of trusses employed to support the flat roofing over the whole extent Varieties of roof of the building. It may be well, therefore, to consider that our original limita- tion to 24 feet square has been enlarged by the addition of a space of 72 feet by 24 feet, being a compartment of the roof over the nave; and of an area of the same width by 48 feet, being a portion of the roof over the avenue which extends from east to west, beyond the aisle on each side of the nave. As we have stated that the latter of these portions of the building (the 48-feet The 48-ft. trusses; avenue) rises to a height of two stories only from the ground, it will be manifest that its roof-trusses must be attached at the level of the girders which serve to stiffen the main shafts of the nave, namely, at a height of 44 feet from the ground. These 48-feet roof-trusses are attached to comiecting pieces in a similar mode to that already described for the girders, with the exception that their vertical posi- tion is maintained by bolts passing through their standards and through the column, instead of by the system of keys as in the 24-feet girders. In fig. 6 a representation is given of the principal parts of one of these trusses. Their uetaiis of which, it will be seen, is constructed for the most part of wrought iron ; the few portions which are of cast iron acting only under compression. These trusses follow the general principle of division into 8-feet compartments ; and, consequently, the cast-iron struts or standards (A AAA, fig. 6) occur in positions corresponding with those in the gallery-girders already described. Fig. 6. Diagonals of similar width on face (B B B B B B, fig. 6) connect them, and, con- sequently, an uniform lattice-like effect is obtained. The top table of these trusses (C C C, fig. 6) consists of two pieces of angle-iron, set at the distance of an inch apart, their total sectional area equalling 3 inches. The bottom table (D D D, fig. 6) consists of two bars of wrought-iron set at a similar distance apart, and increasing in sectional area up to 3"38 inches, as they approach the centre of the bearing. Between the angle-irons at the top and the bars at the bottom of the truss, are passed the ends of the cast-iron standards and those of the diagonal ties; the sectional area of the principal of the latter equalling 2*75 inches. Eivets, (E E E, fig. 6,) passing through the angle-irons and bars, the standards, and the ties, connect the whole into one truss, which acts upon the principle of a rigid top table under compression, and a suspension-truss beneath; so pressing up the standards or struts as to raise the centre of the upper table to a camber of 4 inches, one of the objects of v/hich is to provide a sufiicient fall for the roof-water. One of these 48 feet trusses, complete, weighs about 13 cwt., and when, imder proof, having been loaded with a dead weight of 10 tons, deflected 3 inches, perfectly recovering its elasticity upon the removal of the weight. The 72-ft.trusses; Tlic clcar width of thc uavc being 72 feet, it was of course imperative to con- struct a third description of truss, the depth of which should not exceed that of the connecting pieces generally throughout the building, namely, 3 feet, and yet sufficiently strong to support the larger weight of roof due to the increased area of roofing it was called upon to support. The construction of this larger truss, as shown in fig. 7, corresponds in every essential particular with that of the 48-feet truss already described, with the difference that the scantling of the angle-irons and bars is necessarily much increased, and that the total length of 72 feet is divided into nine 8 feet lengths instead of six. The weight of one of these trusses complete is about 35 cwts.; the sectional area of the two angle-irons (A A, fig. 7) being 5*71 inches; that of the two bottom bars, at their maximum, 6*75 inches; and that of the principal diagonal ties 3*38 inches. When loaded under proof, with a dead weight of 16 tons, it deflected 6^ inches, and entirely recovered its elas- ticity on the weight being removed. A repetition of one or other of these varieties of trusses suffices to support any portion of the flat roof of the building; but in order to carry the great extra weight thrown by the transept roof upon the last 72-feet trusses of the nave, where it intersects the transepts it was found necessary to employ trusses of double depth, extra lattice-work, and much increased scantling. The construction Their details of construction. Tlie extra strong 72-feet trusses; their details of construction. Fig. 7. of these trusses is shown in fig. 8. In order to give additional support to them, four extra columns have been attached to those situated at the intersection of the nave and transept. Fig. 8. The direction of the 72-feet trusses of the roof of the nave being of course The roof trusses, transverse to its length, and the trusses occurring at intervals of 24 feet, it became lon^itHdSiy. necessary, in order to perfectly steady them, that timbers (shown in section and elevation at B B, fig. 7) should be thrown across from one to the other, in Box-gutters run- ning transversely over trusses, Connected longi- tudinally by Paxton gutters, &c. The Paxton gutters; Their details of construction : Their trussing; the direction of from east to west. These timbers are introduced at intervals of eight feet, being placed directly over the vertical standards of the roof trusses. Between the top of the truss and the end of these timbers is placed a box (shown in section and elevation at C C C, fig. 7), running along the whole length, and attached to the upper flange of the truss, forming a gutter of considerable capacity, for the purpose of carrying the water away from the roofs to the hollow columns, through which it ultimately descends to the drains. The peculiar form of the timbers, spanning from truss to truss, and the offices they are called upon to perform, together with the fact that no less than 20 miles of them are required for the construction of the roofing, render them worthy of a detailed description. They are now known as the Paxton gutters. The form of their section is clearly shown in fig. 9. Figs. 9, 10, 11, 12. Fig. 9. Fig. 12. D_Fig.ll. ^ D ^^S- ■ D They consist of pieces of timber 24 feet in length, five inches wide by six inches deep. On the upper surface, a semicircular groove (C, fig. 9), Ifth inch radius, is cut, in order to receive the external water from the roofs. On each of the two vertical sides of the timbers an oblique groove (B B, fig. 9) is cut, in order to receive the condensed water, which, trickling down the inner surface of the glass, finds its way to these small channels, and is carried along them to their ends, where oblique cuts connect them with the box-gutters. As the length of 24 feet would be too great for the gutter to carry itself without bending, or, as it is technically termed, " sagging," the alternative pre- sented itself of either very much increasing the scantling, or contriving some system of trussing. The former was rejected on account of its heaviness and unsightly appearance; it was therefore determined that a rod of iron (shown at A A A A, figs. 9,10, and 11) should be passed beneath the Paxton gutter, should be secured to its two ends by cast-iron shoes (B, fig. 10), and should press up, at eight feet intervals in its length, two cast-iron standards (C, fig. 11), so as to effect a camber or rise in its whole length of 2 J inches. So trussed, the gutter is capable of supporting no less a weight than H tons. A semicircular cut is given through the depth of the gutter at both ends, so that when two are placed end to end, the water may flow down to the box-gutters through a circular cavity. Twenty-seven notches are marked by a template, and cut on each side of the upper edge ; a few of these are shown at D D D, figs. 10 and 11. The Paxton gutter, tlius complete, is attached to a flanged iron plate, bolted on to the edges of the box-gutters, so that the parallel lines of gutter may form a con- tinuous tie from the eastern or western ends of the Building to the transept, and so that, should the wood shrink in length, it may not pull apart and distort the sides of the box-gutters. Three of the notches referred to as being cut on each side of the gutters, are Tiie ir connection larger than the others, and on them bars of wood, 2 inches by 1^ inch, grooved ^ for glass on both sides, are notched down. These bars (shown at A, fig. 12) form principal rafters, and, being set at a pitch of 2i to 1, are fixed to a ridge 3 inches by 3 inches, grooved for glass on both sides. The angle at which these are fixed being the one which Mr. Paxton, in numerous experiments, has found to be best adapted to the construction of similar roofs. One of the principal reasons which led to the adoption of eight feet and not Reasons for fixing more, as the pitch of these gutters from centre to centre, was, that the distance flJ^J'"?'^'^^^*'^ from ridge to gutter-edge might be covered with the largest sized glass that could be conveniently manufactured in one length, and that by that means the unsightly appearance, and frequently leaky condition, of joined glass, might be avoided. The method of construction of a 24-feet bay of this system of roofing is shown a 24-feet bay of in fig, 13, and from it the reader may be enabled to follow the description we are about to give of the construction of a length of roofing. Fig. 13. The gutters, principal rafters or main sash-bars, and ridge being fixed in how constructed, place, the long edge of a sheet of glass, 4 feet 1 inch, by 10 inches, is inserted into the groove of the principal rafter, and a sash-bar (shown in section at B, fig. 12), 1 inch by 1^ inch, also double grooved, is then put on to the other long edge of the glass. The sash bar is then brought down and secured at the top to the ridge, and at the bottom to the edge of the gutter; the lower edge of the glass bedding on putty about three-quarters of an inch wide. A sliglit blow to the lower end brings the upper edge of the glass home into the groove in tlie ridge. The glass being then pressed down, the putty is made good in the grooves externally, and by the repetition of this simple operation, the essentials of this system of roofing are constructed. Lightness one of Ouc amoug the many advantages of Mr. Paxton's roofing is its extreme light- Mr. Sxton'^^ness. In the instance of that of the Exhibition Building, the whole of the roohng. roofiug (tho Weight of the trusses that support it being of course deducted), weighs only 3i lbs. per foot superficial upon the average. In order to mitigate the intensity of the light, and at the same time to assist The canvas cover- in kccpiug tlic buildiug cool, a cauvas covering has been provided, extending over ' the entire area of the flat roof. The canvas is attached to the ridges, and allowed to hang down between them in a festoon. As one width of canvas is insufficient to reach from ridge to ridge, two are sewn together, the seam occurring in the centre, immediately over the Paxton gutter. The rain descending falls on the Its uses. canvas, and clings to it by capillary attraction, creeping down until it arrives at the seam, where it passes through the canvas, and falls into the Paxton gutter ; thus the danger of the passage of water which might take place through broken panes or imperfect putty-joints, is obviated, and the chances of leakage are con- sequently materially diminished. The flooring, In ordcr to trace continuously the course of the vertical supports from the ground to the roof, we have not interrupted our description by detailing the nature of the flooring; but as that is one of Mr. Paxton's ingenious con- trivances, it would not be right to allow it to pass unnoticed. In a paper, read by Mr. Paxton at the Society of Arts, on the 13th of November, 1850, that gentleman narrated the experiments which led to the origination of the present design, and stated that he had tried many methods, in order to find out the most suitable floors for the pathways of horticultural structures. After enume- rating the objections to the use of stone and close boarding, he mentioned, that "he had ultimately been led to the adoption of trelliced wooden pathways, " with spaces between each board, through which, on sweeping, the dust at once disappears, and falls into the vacuity below." He thus describes his application of these experiments to the Exhibition Building:— as described by " Wliilst thc accomplishmcut of this point" (the speedy removal of dust) " was most important in plant-houses, I consider it doubly so with respect to the " Industrial Building, where there will be such an accumulation of articles of delicate workmanship. Before sweeping the floors of the Great Building, the whole will be sprinkled with water from a movable hand-engine, which will be " immediately followed by a sweeping-machine, consisting of many brooms, fixed " to an apparatus on liglit wheels, and drawn by a shaft. By this means a large portion of ground will be passed over in a very short space of time." The boards for the floor are H inch thick, laid half an inch apart, upon joists 7 inches by 2i inches, which rest upon large timbers or sleepers, 13 inches by 3i inches, at intervals of 8 feet apart. Through the interstices left between the boards the dust passes, and the merits of this system of flooring are thus summed up by Mr. Paxton:—" It is very economical, dry, clean, pleasant to walk upon, admits " of the dust falling through the spaces, and even when it requires to be tliorouglilywashed, the water at once disappears between the openings, and the Conclusion of ^ " boards become almost immediately fit for visitors." construction of Having now endeavoured to furnish the reader with sufficient detail of a small portion of the building, to enable him to use it as a scale, whereby to estimate the quantity of labour represented by a structure of the general dimensions we General dimen- are about to enumerate, it may be stated that the total area of the ground floor is tltiesr"*^ 772,784 square feet, and that of the galleries 217,100 square feet. The galleries extend nearly a mile in length. The total cubic contents of the building are about 33,000,000 feet; there are nearly 2,300 cast-iron girders, and 358 wrought-iron trusses for supporting the galleries and roof, 30 miles of gutters for carrying water to the columns, 202 miles of sash bars, and 900,000 superfi- cial feet of glass. The width of the nave is, within 10 feet, double that of St. Paul's Cathedral, whilst its length is more than four times as great. With a general knowledge of the construction of the nave, we may imagine the visitor, returning to the transept, better qualified to enter into the mecha- The transept, nical details, and the amount of difficulties presented to his notice, by that great feature of the building. The arrangement of the vertical shafts, galleries, &c., is similar to that of the nave ; the main points of difference commencing at the level of the flat roof It will be remembered that the spaces to be covered at a height of its roof. 64 feet from the ground, are, firstly, a main avenue, 408 feet long by 72 feet wide; and secondly, two aisles, each 408 feet long by 24 feet wide. It was determined that a semi-cylindrical vault should span the larger of these areas, and for that purpose semicircular ribs (see Plate I.) extend from side to side, their ends being inserted into the hollow columns, whilst they are steadied by the insertion between, and at right angles to them, of stout timbers, 9 feet 2 inches from one another, acting as purlins. The structure of the ribs is shown in fig. 14. To quote from a paper descrip- Construction of tive of the building, read at the Institution of Civil Engineers, on the 14 th of transept roof.

The space between Fig. 14. them and the ribs is glazed Transept Ribs. and fimshcd on the same sys- tem as that adopted in the flat roof of the building, the sash bars being set at an oblique angle, or " herring - bone " fashion, in order to assist the conduction of the water, and prevent its lodging against the lower putty bed of each pane of glass over which it trickles. Along the summit of this semi-cylindrical vault runs, from north to south, a narrow lead path, in order to afford access to the apex of the roof, and to provide a means of low- ering down workmen to repair any damage that may possibly happen to it. As the quantity of water discharged from this vault m^ust necessarily be con- siderable, it was deemed advi- sable that the 24-feet aisles on each side of it should be covered with lead flats, instead of the ordinary glass roofing. These lead flats presented also the further advantage of being so completely connected, as to form solid abutments, steady- ing the feet of the ribs. In order to convey any pressure in the way of thrust, that the ribs might exert, to those Section of Transept Rib, and springing of ditto. poiutS bcSt Capable of TCSlStmg Strain, horizontal trusses of wrought-iron were constructed beneath the lead flats, consisting of bars capable of being keyed up at any time from the lead flats, and thus any tendency to movement, on the part of any of the ribs, would be immediately transferred either to the extreme north and south ends, where their feet are securely tied together by the cast-iron girders which cross the transept at those points; or to the angles where the transept intersects the nave, and where the whole force of the vis inerticE of the nave roof would serve as abutment. The general effect produced by this semi-cylindrical roof covering the large elms beneath, is shown in Plate 1. The external enclosures or walls, as seen from within, on the two upper stories, consist of glass in wooden sash frames, inserted between columns 8 feet from centre to centre, and louvre frames for ventilation, surmounting the sash frames. On the ground story, boarding takes the place of the glass; and the height being 24 feet instead of 20 feet, an additional tier of ventilators is inserted. The columns at 24 feet apart being of iron, the intermediate ones, dividing that width into 8 feet compartments, are of wood. As no less than 1,500 sash frames have been used, they may justify a few The sash-frames, words of description. To quote again from the Transactions of the Institution of Civil Engineers, we learn that " the sash frames are 2i inches thick, with seven " bars in their width; the bars being 2|- inches deep, double grooved for glass. " Wrought-iron bolts, -I inch diameter, pass completely through the sash bars and " sash frames, at the points where they are attached to the columns; and thus a " chain tie is kept up all round the building, in order to prevent displacement of the sashes either bodily or in portions, by the pressure of the wind. To further guard against the same action, timber bridges, 3^ inches byl-i- inch in the centre, are fixed across the middle of the length of the sash; and at the internal " angles, where the wind will exert its greatest force, iron rods, half an inch in diameter, are fastened from column to column, pressing against the wooden " bridge, and converting it into a continuous strut, bearing up against any force " applied to the exterior of the sash. In order to glaze the sashes, the glass " is slipped down between the bars, and provision is made for mending, by causing one groove to be cut deeper than the other, so that the glass may be " slipped in from one side, and puttied into its exact place. A similar pro- " vision is made for mending the roof glass." As whatever lateral force the wind may exert upon the building will be The action of principally received by these sashes, it may not be inappropriate, in considering Tnd on'theTu'iid- them, to advert briefly to the general question of the action of wind upon the '"^* building. On the 15th of January, 1851, a meeting was held at the Society of Arts, at which Mr. Fox, one of the contractors for the building attended, to aflbrd the members of that Society an opportunity of asking any questions as to the general points of stability and durability, on which they might desire information. One of the questions proposed was, " What would be the effects of the wind How described by " on such an extensive surface as the building presented, and what means were ^' " taken to counteract them ?" and as Mr. Fox's reply embraced with remarkable clearness the principal facts connected with the argument, we shall give it at length. Mr. Fox replied that the building rested on 1,060 columns on the ground floor, and the most likely direction for the wind to have any injurious eflect on the building, must of course be in the direction of its greatest width, " which was 1,800 feet as compared with 400 in the opposite direction. These columns rested on cast-iron plates based upon concrete; and there was no possi- " bility of their rocking about without the base-plates being broken. Above these plates were sleepers, that carry the floor. They were 13 inches in depth, " and fitted accurately up against the two sides of the column, and running " transversely from one side of the building to the other; so that it would be " very difficult to conceive that one of these columns could be possibly upset *' until it was actually broken in two. And again, at the top the columns are " united together by cast-iron girders 3 feet deep, and four columns are framed together, very much as they would frame a table. Now to break the column, F " they must exert a force equal to tliat of twice the transverse strength of the ^' column. According to the experiments it was found that six tons was the bearing weight, and 12 tons the breaking weight of the columns in the centre. " Now, 1,060 columns multiplied by six tons, the bearing weight, was equal to " 6,360 tons; so that it would be necessary to exert a force equal to 6,360 tons, " at a height of 24 feet from the ground, before they would be able to blow down the building, and he was now treating of the building independently of its bracings. The greatest force of wind ever known had been computed at 22 lbs. " to the superficial foot. Taking 28 lbs. as the force, and assuming that they " could have a gust of wind which would strike the whole side of the building " from top to bottom at the same moment, the total force which could be brought *' against it would be from 1,400 to 1,500 tons. Now, they had got power to resist it of 6,360 tons, not taking into account the bracings and the other con- " structions and ofiices which were within the building, and which must of *' course add to its strength. The building had been tested in the late gale, when " Colonel Eeid ascertained that the force of the wind was 19ilbs., and it did " no harm whatever; and that was at a time when the roof was not on, and the " building was quite exposed," The ventilators. The ventilators, to which allusion has been made, and which are shown in fig. 15, fulfil an important ofl&ce in the building, acting as the organs of respiration to the whole body. The total surface of ventilation is nearly 50,000 superficial feet, and the whole has been so arranged, that, by the application of one man's strength, at about 90 difierent points, the whole may be opened, closed, or set and secured at any desired angle, simultaneously. The venti- lators themselves consist of gal- vanized iron blades of an S form, 6i- inches wide, fixed on pivots at 6 inches from centre to centre. Of these there are eight in the wooden frame inserted between the columns and the sill on the ground floor, and six in those which surmount the sash-frames on the two upper stories. The section of the blade is of a novel form, and is calculated, when open, to afibrd the minimum interruption to the passage of the air, compatible with being weather-tight at all times. To each blade, in the centre of its length, are attached small iron brackets furnished with eyes, through which pins are inserted ; which pins are secured in a species of wooden rack. These racks are connected with cranks attached to iron rods, to which a movement of torsion is conveyed by screws and powerful levers. A moderate exertion of the strength of one man applied to one of these levers, sufiices to regulate, with facility, no less than 600 feet superficial of ventilation. The decoration. Hitherto the building has been considered only in a structural point of view. The vivacity of any impression it may convey to the casual visitor will, however, probably depend more strongly on the system of decoration which it has received from Mr. OwEN Jones than on any of the constructional details we have been describing. That gentleman, whose studies in Egypt and in the East generally, in Spain, and in other countries of Europe, had quaHfied him for the task, was enabled at an early stage in the progress of the building, to foresee the effect of the combination in perspective of its various lines. Serious apprehensions were at first entertained as to the propriety of the application of colour, usually devoted to the decoration of extended surfaces, to what were asserted to be lines only. Mr. Jones was, however, enabled to estimate how far the merging in distance of those lines would give them the appearance of surfaces, and the three tints of blue, red, and yellow have been distributed by him over the columns and girders, so that as the surfaces blended in perspective, each column has allied itself in colour with its fellow column, each vertical face of girder with the vertical faces of its fellow girders, and each sofiite, or underside, with its fellow soffites. Breadth and distinctness were given to the enunciation of each colour. The light of the sky appearing through the interstices of the roof, the principal portions of which have been tinted of a delicate blue, unites with the colour, giving it at once air and brilliancy. The effect of this mode of treatment has been to add considerably to the apparent elevation of the building. By varying the colours of the vertical and of the horizontal lines, and retaining each uni- formly, the eye is enabled to detect, at even the greatest distance, the direction and position of every part of the construction, and thus the otherwise endless confusion of the complexity of lines, is reduced to order and simplicity. Although a provision for the gratification of the intellectual tastes of the Tlie refreshment visitor has been the main object in the formation of the Exhibition Building, ministering to his more ordinary appetites has not been lost sight of Commo- dious refreshment rooms, with the accompaniments usually connected with them at large railway stations, have been provided around the trees at the northern extremity of the transept, and adjoining open courts towards the eastern and western extremities of the buildings, where the presence of the trees dictated their location. The official business connected with the conduct of the Exhibition rendered The offices, necessary the employment of a large staff of clerks, &c., for whom, and for the juries, &c,, a considerable extent of accommodation has been provided in offices placed on each side of the southern entrance. We have supposed our visitor to enter on the south side; admittance may. The entrances however, be also gained at the eastern and western ends, where similar vestibules, 72 feet by 48 feet, afford accommodation for turnstiles, check-takers, &c. Dis- posed at nearly equal distances from one another, on the four sides of the structure, are 15 exits, by passing through either of which the building may be quitted. In issuing from its precincts the visitor will pass through the spates of an iron The exterior of ... . . . the buihlin". railing designed by Mr. Owen Jones. Retreating to some distance, he will be enabled to take in a general impression of the whole building, as shown in fig. 16. From the north-west angle the most picturesque view is to be obtained, and from that position may be best appreciated the grand effect produced by Mr. Paxton's happy idea of raising the semi-cylindrical vault of the transept roof, above the tiers of terraces which extend on either side of it. For much of the grace of proportion and beauty of form, which from this point of view the visitor cannot fail to notice, the building is indebted to Mr. Bakry. Upon the form and distri- bution of the arches and filling-in frames, as well as of the columns, the sug- gestions of that gentleman exercised a happy influence. F 2 The details of an 8-feet bay of elevation. The spaces en- closed at eastern and western ends, The boiler-house. In fig. 17 we have given a view of a bay of the building, 8 feet in width; and from that and the other illustrations a tolerably correct idea may be formed of the nature of its external construction. At the east and west ends considerable spaces have been enclosed, for the purpose of affording accommodation for large objects, the weight or dimensions of which precluded their admittance into the building. At about 155 feet from the north-west angle, a structure, 96 feet by 24 feet, has been erected for the purpose of containing the boilers for generating steam, to be supplied to give motion to the various machines requiring to be exhibited Fig. 17. The water supply. Conclusion of Part I. of sub- jects—" The building as it stands." Commencement of Part II.-" Its creation." Arrangements subsequently to acceptance of tender. in operation. The external appearance of this building precisely corresponds with that of a portion of the main edifice of similar dimensions. It contains five boilers, equal to 150-horse power, and a large tank, serving as a balance-head to the water- supply. This supply consists of a 6-inch main, entirely surrounding the building; upon it, at intervals of about 240 feet, are placed fire-cocks ; and at different points in its circuit 16 4-inch branch-pipes enter the building, and lead so far into the in- terior, that fire-cocks placed upon their ends are so situated that circles of 120 feet radius drawn from each of them would inter- sect one another. The mains running on the north and south sides of the building are connected across the transept by a 5-inch main, from which, near the centre of the building, pipes diverge, leading east and west, for the supply of the various fountains placed upon the central line of the nave. Having endeavoured to convey some gene- ral idea of the nature of the building as it at present stands, it may be desirable to trace the successive steps by which it has grown into the form it now assumes. When it is remembered tliat the tender for its construction was not accepted by the Eoyal Commissioners until the 26th of July^ 1850, that possession of the site was only obtained on the 30th of the same month, and that the first column was fixed on the 26th of September, it will be manifest that into the intervening period must have been crowded arrangements, which, under ordinary circum- stances, would have required at least double that period for their completion. Details of construction had to be settled, elaborate calculations as to the strength and proportions of the several constituent parts to be made, machines for econo- mising labour to be devised, contracts for the supply of materials to be entered into, and thousands of hands set actually to work. How unintermitting since that period the labour must have been is testified by the fact, that the opening of the Exhibition takes place on the 1st of May, the day originally appointed. On the ground being given up to the contractors, the first work undertaken Hoarding com- was the construction of a hoarding to inclose the whole area of the site. This being given up to ^ ^ _ , . contractors. hoarding was formed by the insertion into the ground, in pairs, of the timbers ultimately to be used as joists. Between each pair of uprights were slipped the ends of boards, ultimately to be used as floor-boards; and these were secured by attaching together the two ends of the joists extending above them. Thus the expense of the hire of waste boarding was avoided; the timber composing the hoarding was completely uninjured; and the celerity with which the whole area was surrounded was truly remarkable. : The task of setting out the plan of the building was intrusted to Mr. Brounger ; The setting out. and the extreme accuracy with which the situation of every column was fixed, and the adjustment of every level was performed, reflects credit upon that gentleman. In order that the measurement of 24 feet, upon which the accuracy of How proceeded the whole plan depended, might be indicated with extreme precision, poles of thoroughly-seasoned pine were fitted with gun-metal cheeks, or small pro- jecting plates, the ends of the poles extending a few inches beyond the cheeks. The measurements were taken by laying one pole on the other, so that the inner edges of the gun-metal cheeks, set at precisely 24 feet from one another, might be brought into contact. Thus the danger of any error, arising from the ends of the poles becoming damaged in use, was avoided. Stakes having been driven into the ground to indicate approximately the position of the colmnns, their precise centres were ascertained by the use of the theodolite, and marked by driving a nail into each stake at the exact point. When it became necessary to remove these stakes, in order to dig out holes for the concrete foundations, an ingenious method was resorted to, for at any time identifying the position occu- pied by the nail which had been removed. To effect this a right-angled triangle was framed in deal, at the two ends of which saw-cuts were made. Previous to the removal of the stake, the apex of the triangle was set to the nail indicating the situation of the centre of the column. Two other stakes were then driven beneath the saw-cuts, and two nails driven in at the ends of the saw-cuts. The wooden triangle being then removed, the centre stake was withdrawn, the hole made, and the concrete thrown in. The height of the surface of the mortar, varying with almost every column, was regulated by pegs driven to the correct level under the direction of Mr. Brounger. Another triangle of a somewhat similar character to, and having saw-cuts in the same position as, the one already described, having two of its angles adjusted to the two stakes remaining in the ground, determined the exact position in which the base-plates had to be fixed. As every casting was delivered on the ground, it received a careful examma- Castings ex- tion, and an immediate coat of paint. The girders, upon the perfect soundness gWers proted- of which the stability of the galleries and roof mainly depended, were subjected to a rigorous test, in a machine arranged for the purpose by Mr. Charles Heard Wild. One of Mr. Henderson's patent cranes was so placed, that, on a waggon containing girders being brought beneath its range, a girder was lifted from the waggon, and deposited upon a weighing apparatus. An account having been taken of its weight, the girder was again lifted by the crane, and carried forward to an extremely strong frame, the two ends of which corresponded in form and dimensions to the connecting pieces with their projections. The girder being securely confined in these clutches, a force was exerted upon it at the two points upon which the weight of the floors and roofing would have to be carried, that is Tlie columns and girders, how raised, steadied, to say, immediately over its vertical lines. The force thus communicated was applied by two pistons, forced upwards by a modification of Bramah's hydraulic press; the principle of which, it will be remembered, depends upon the power gained by forcing water (by means of a small piston) into a strong cylinder in which a larger piston works; the power being increased in the proportion borne by the area of the piston to be raised to the area of the small piston. A registering- apparatus affixed to the pipe leading from the force-pump to the testing-machine, afforded the means of adjusting the pressure exercised by the hydraulic press. A careful observation of this apparatus conveyed the assurance, that every girder, according to its ultimate destination, was proved to a strain of either 9, 15, or 22 tons. After testing, the girder was released from its confinement, again raised by the crane, and stacked in a convenient place ready for removal. So admirably were the various arrangements made for conducting these operations, that it was possible for a girder to be lifted from its waggon, weighed, secured in the testing-machine, proved, released, again raised, and finally deposited, in less than four minutes. In order to elevate the columns to their places, what is known in technical language as a pair of shear-legs was employed. This simple apparatus consists of two poles lashed together at their heads, and maintained in a steady position by ropes extending, from the apex of the triangle formed by the base-line of the ground, and the inclination of the poles, to one another, to stakes driven into the ground at a considerable distance. From the apex of the triangle a series of ropes passing 6ver pulleys were suspended perpendicularly; and, by means of this fall," the majority of the columns, girders, and other heavy portions of the construction, were elevated to their places. The operation of raising girders is shown in the Fig. 18. view, fig. 18, but on so small a scale as to convey only an imperfect idea of its detail. Modifications of the simple apparatus described sufficed to hoist almost every part of the necessary iron-work. A connecting-piece was at- tached to each column previous to its elevation; and so soon as two columns with their connecting- pieces were fixed, a girder was run up, slipped be- tween the projections of the connecting-pieces, and secured in its place. An opposite pair of columns having been similarly ele- vated, another girder was attached to them; and thus two sides of a square were formed, and main- tained in a vertical posi- tion by poles acting as supports to them. Two other girders being then hoisted, and slipped between the connecting-pieces on the remaining two sides of the square, a perfect table was constructed. The " shores " or supports were then removed, together with the shear-legs, and the whole apparatus was at liberty, for the purpose of recommencing a similar operation in an adjoining 24-feet bay. When a sufficient number of these bays had been completed, startino^ from the 'l^le second and \ ^ ^ third stories com- intersection of the nave and transept, to warrant the addition, the hoisting of the menced witiiout ■I- ' . scallolding—liow, columns for the first floor was commenced; more lofty shear-legs being of course employed. The extension of the ground-floor structure proceeding, as that of the first floor was carried on, a base was in turn afibrded for the columns of the third tier; and thus the iron frame work of the whole building rose from the ground, firm and secure, without involving the necessity of any scaflblding whatever. While these operations of actual structure were beins^ carried on, under the 'J'he preparation • T n HT T T in • of the other wrol immediate superintendence oi Mr. John Cochrane, the work of preparation was yet more vigorously pushed. The manufacture of the Paxton gutters, and the application of machinery to their formation, is so interesting, as to warrant a somewhat lengthened notice. In the year 1837, when Mr. Paxton commenced the construction of the Thegutter- 1 T 1 • making machin? Onatsworth conservatory, m which similar gutters were employed, machinery had not been brought to bear upon their construction. By the use of a con- trivance, the details of which were arranged by Mr. CowPER, a gentleman in the employment of Messrs. Fox and Henderson, a total length of upwards of 2,000 feet per day has been turned out, for many successive days. The pieces of timber destined to form the gutters are sawn into lengths of 24 feet, 6 inches deep, and 5 inches thick. Three of these pieces are fixed on the frame of a planing-machine, and by it are worked true and square. In figures 19, 20, 21, and 22 are given representations of the details of the gutter-making machine, erected at Messrs. Fox and Henderson's workshops, near the Thames, at Chelsea. Fig. 19 is a side view of a block of cast-iron, to which Fig.i9. steel cutters (AAAA) are attached by bolts and nuts ^ kA (BBBB). Four blocks, of similar construction, are fixed to four spindles, and by the action of drums on ^ ' '^q^ the same spindles, set in motion by bands moved by a / steam-engine of 20-horse power, the blocks are made ^ ' to revolve with extreme rapidity. Any piece of ^^^^ ^ / /^'^ timber exposed to the action of these cutters, must mL^^^^^^^^ obviously be scooped out into the form of the outline | ^WMMmi^^M^^ of the cutters attached to each block. By modifying ^ the form of the cutters almost any variety of section can be given to the timbers brought into contact with them. In the present case, the four sections A, B, C, and D (fig. 21), represent the successive action of the four sets of cutters lettered to correspond with them (on fig. 20), by means of which the larger cavity for the rain water, and the two smaller channels for the condensed water, are formed. The part removed by each set of cutters is shown by the hatched lines. Fig. 22 represents a plan of the machine, looking down from above upon the gutters, the gutter being removed in order to show the action of the cutters more clearly. The operation may be explained as follows:—The piece of timber, properly its mode of squared, is placed upon the roller marked E, it is then pushed on until it comes in contact with the roller marked F, the projecting points on which so far seize it as to propel it forward to meet the rapidly revolving set of cutters marked A. Passing onwards to B, it is subjected to a second action. By C a third operation is performed, and in passing through D, a perfect form is given to the piece of timber. Thus, while, the end beyond D presents the perfect section of a Fig. 20. The Paxton gutters—how completed for use on the ground. finished gutter, the other end;, which has not yet passed the set of cutters at A, remains in its original square form. In fig. 22, a vertical section is given, exhi- Fig. 22. biting the precise angle at which the cast-iron blocks are made to revolve, and the cutters to clear away the timber before them. 0 shows the section of the gutter acted on by the cutters, N the holdfast by which the gutter is kept in its place during the operation. By the use of this machine three feet of gutter can be made per minute, and, working night and day at this rate, the whole quantity required was completed in two months. Th^ Paxton gutters, thus prepared, were delivered on the ground, and after having been carefully examined, and the defective ones removed, they were con- veyed to other machines {vide fig. 23), fixed upon the ground, by means of which they were finished ready for use. A large circular saw, the spindle of which could be raised or depressed by the action of a lever, had fixed in the centre of one of its sides two gouges, adapted to produce, by rapid revolution, a semicircular groove. A frame, the exact length of the gutters, was fixed at right angles to the plane of tliis saw. In the centre of this frame a species of chair was constructed, capable of turning round, and a shoe was fixed at the extremity of the frame farthest from the saw. The end of a gutter about 24 feet long was thrust into this shoe, and its middle supported by the chair already mentioned. The end nearest to the saw was then pressed down, and secured by an iron strap. Thus retained in position, it was necessarily bent to precisely that camber arranged to be ultimately given to it by suspension-rods and struts. The circular saw, revolving rapidly, was then made to descend until its edge came in contact with the end of the gutter, which it cut to the precise length required, and at exactly the right angle. The axis of the circular saw was then still further lowered down, •until the gouges fixed on its side cut their way through the gutter, making a semicircular groove through its depth. One end being thus scooped out, the gutter was released from its position, turned round, and secured in a contrary direction in the shoe at the opposite extremity of the sup- porting frame. The other end of the gutter, thus presented in its turn to the saw, was then subjected to a similar process, after which it was removed, perfectly ready for the at- tachment of its iron bowstring. A machine of somewhat similar construction (though much simpler) to that by which the Paxton gutters were made, brought the ridges to their proper lorm. In the course of numerous experiments which Mr. Paxton had commenced as The sash-bars, early as the year 1828, the great necessity for providing some machine by which improvements in a quantity of sash-bars might be speedily and economically cut, was forcibly of, generally, impressed upon his mind. In the p'aper we have already quoted, Mr. Paxton thus describes the origin of machines of this description:—" In 1837 the foundations " of the great conservatory (at Chatsworth) were commenced; and in constructing " so great a building, it was found desirable to contrive some means for abridging " the great amount of manual labour that would be required in making the " immense number of sash-bars requisite for the purpose. Accordingly, I visited '' all the great workshops of London, Manchester, and Birmingham, to see if any- " thing had been invented that would afford the facilities I required. The only " apparatus met with was a grooving-machine, which I had at once connected with " a steam-engine at Chatsworth, and which was subsequently so improved as to " make the sash-bar complete. For this apparatus the Society of Arts, in April, " 1841, awarded me a medal, and this machine is the type from which all the " sash-bar machines found in use throughout the country to the present time are " taken. As the conservatory was erected under my own immediate superin- tendence, I am able to speak accurately as to the advantages of the machine. " It has, in regard to that building alone, saved in expenses 1,400Z. The length of each of the bars of the conservatory is 48 inches, only one inch shorter than those Fig. 23. The ridges. " of the Exhibition Building. The machine was first used in its present form in " August, 1838, and its original cost, including table, wheels, and everything com- " plete, was 201. The motive power is from a steam-engine employed on the " premises for other purposes, and any well-seasoned timber may be used. The " attendants required are only a man and a boy, and the expense of the power " required for it when in use is comparatively trifling. The sash-bars may be " made of any form, by changing the character of the saws. There is one par- " ticular feature in working the machine, namely, that the bars are presented to " the saws below the centre of motion, instead of above it, as is usual; and to the sides of the saw which are ascending from the table, instead of those which are " descending. These arrangements were necessary to suit the arrangement of the " teeth to the grain of the wood; for when the bars were presented to the saws " in the usual way, the wood was crushed, instead of being cut and cleaned. It is " essential that the machine should revolve 1,200 times in a minute to finish the " work in a proper manner." Fig. 26. Fig. 27. Sash-bar machine YIq gj^all uow procccd to dcscribc the modification of this machine, which is used for the ^ ^ , _ ' building. (Jue to the inventive powers of Mr. BiRCH, of the Phoenix saw mills, near Cum- berland-market, Eegent's Park, with whom a contract was entered into by Messrs. Fox and Henderson for the supply of all the sash-bars for the roof, the upright bars for the vertical lights, and the ridges. Two of the principal points of difference between Mr. Birch's machine and that described by Mr. Paxton are, that revolving cutters are substituted for saws, thus obviating diffi- culties incident to the grain of the wood; and that, by the addition of a second set of cutters, a plank passed between them is operated upon on its upper and under surfaces at the same time. In fig. 25 is shown a cast-iron block (somewhat si«nilar to those previously described in connection with the gutter-cutting machine), to which are attached a variety of cutters. The rapid revolutions of the spindle (A fig. 26) operate upon the planks submitted to the action of the cutters, in the manner shown in fig. 28. So soon as the plank, presented by the feed-roller, has been operated upon by the rapid revolution of these miniature adzes, it is carried on by the roller C, and is subjected to the action of circular saws of varying diameters, the lesser of which cut just sufficiently deep to form the groove for the glass, while the larger pass completely through the plank, and divide it into four finished sash-bars. In figs. 24 and 28 is represented the mode in which the sash- bars for the vertical lights are made, the hatched lines indicating the parts removed; and in fig. 27, the way is shown in which the sash-bars for the roof have been cut. Modifications in the cutters affixed to the spindle A, fig. 26, produce the variation in form. As delivered at the building;, the sash-bars were cut approximately only to The sash-bars— , . - T , . T , ? . , , J J how finishetl on then' length, and m order that it might not be necessary to execute any carpen- tiie ground, tering operation on the roof, it was requisite that they should be adjusted on the ground, ready for fixing. An arrangement of circular saws, set at the angles requisite to cut the ends of the sash-bars to accord with the pitch at which they would have to be presented for attachment to the ridges, served at once to cut a large number passed between them to a perfectly uniform length, and to form the necessary rebate for notching down upon the gutter edges. To ensure the gimlet-holes necessary for nailing down the sash-bars being made with perfect regularity, a row of five gouges were set in motion by a band from an adjacent steam-engine, passing over a series of drums. The sash-bars, placed at a proper angle to them, were moved along by boys, in the manner shown in fig. 29, and presented to the points of the gouges, by the rapid revolu- tion of* which the necessary nail-holes were pierced.

A number sash-tars, of brushes were arranged in a frame, at right angles to one another, in such a manner that their bristles would just admit of the passage between them of a sash- bar. In a trough filled with colour a number of sash-bars were immersed, and one of them being lifted from it, loaded with colour, and presented to an aperture at one end of the series of brushes, it was passed through them to a corresponding aperture at the other end; by which process the whole of the superfluous paint was removed, and the sash-bar drawn out as neatly painted as it could have been by the workman's hand. This machine is represented in use in fig. 30. Morticing ma- chine employed. The making of the glass. To facilitate the putting together of the sash-frames and sash-bars, considerable use was made of a machine for making mortices and tenons, patented by Messrs. FuRNESS & Co,, of Liverpool While these various machines were busily operating in the preparation of the necessary framework to receive the glass, Messrs. Chance Brothers & Co., of Smethwick, near Birmingham, to whom the contract for its supply had been com- mitted, were not less actively employed. The large size of the sheets required (4 feet 1 inch by 10 inches), and the extraordinarily short time within which the Fig. 30. I!* Progress made in framing roof trusses : by means of drilling, punch- ing, and cutting, machines: immense quantity necessary had to be supplied, demanded the employment of numerous additional hands, and workmen had to be sought for from abroad to assist in the completion of the order within the requisite time. The mode of manufac- turing the description of glass employed is a great improvement on the old system of crown-glass making ; as by it the variation of the substance occasioned by the thickness of the glass, as it approaches the bull's-eye, is completely avoided. In the manufacture of sheet glass, the workman, having taken up a lump of glass on the end of his pipe, alternately blows, swings his ball of glass to and fro, and rolls it upon a metal table until it assumes the form of a long cylinder; the ends being then taken oif, and the cylinder cut in the direction of its length, the sheet of glass falls down, is flattened to a perfectly true face, and is then trimmed off and finished. During the preparation of the materials necessary to commence the construc- tion of the Paxton roofing, active progress had been made in the framing of the wrought-iron trusses requisite to span the central 72-feet nave, and the 48-feet avenues on each side of it. A steam-engine of 6-horse power gave motion to drilling, punching, and cutting machines, represented in figs. 31 and 32. By means of these, the necessary pieces of bar-iron were adjusted to their requisite lengths. The holes for rivetting having been marked upon them with templates, were punched out, and any larger perforations necessary for extra-sized rivets, drilled. The various parts, thus prepared for combination, were then arranged upon platforms, and the holes in the various portions being made to correspond, the operation of rivetting was gone through. A row of temporary forges was By rivetting up. constructed by the side of the platforms, and the red-hot rivets taken from them were passed through the holes, and hammered by the workmen into their requisite forms. While these active preparations for the construction of the roofing were in pro- The rate of deii- \ . „ ,..

As fast as the columns came upon the ground, they were taken to their places and immediately fixed. Up to the 20th of September 77 columns had been supplied. Figs. 31 and 32. By the week ending the 25th of October, the average number fixed per week amounted to nearly 200, and that rate of supply was continued for several subse- quent weeks. The attention ol the contractors was next directed to the formation of the Tiie formation of the transept ribs. transept ribs. The choicest timber was selected for that purpose, and under the careful superintendance of Mr. Fowler, their form was set out upon a platform erected for the purpose, and the timbers for the first rib laid down. When the rib thus commenced was completed, it was made to serve as a template for the construction of a second; and thus one was fitted upon the others, until the pile had accumulated to four. Three of these having been then laid down in other places, the remainder were constructed upon them in a similar manner.

The vertical sashbars, cut at the Phoenix saw-mills, were delivered by Mr. Birch in large quantities. Sash-frames, also cut at the same mills, were supplied, and these were fitted toge- ther by the contractor's carpenters, whose time and labour in forming mortices and tenons was much economised by the employment of the machine before alluded to, patented by Messrs. FuRNESS & Co. As supplies of the smaller castings necessary to complete the various portions of the structure poured in, the work of erection and putting together proceeded with wonderful rapidity. The progressive increase in the number of hands employed affords a tolerable indication of the increasing intensity of the work: — 1850. In the week ending Sept. 6, 39 men were employed.

The task of raising to their places the 48 and 72-feet trusses, was accomplished with great facility in the following manner:—A single mast was maintained in a vertical position by ropes, similar to those described as steadying the shear-legs used for hoisting the girders. From the summit of this mast descended other ropes, with blocks and pulleys, for the purpose of gaining power in lifting. What is called a leading or guide-block, having been attached to the bottom of the mast, a rope passing through it was connected with a yoke drawn by a horse. The mast having been placed close alongside the line in which the roof-trusses had to be fixed, and one end of a rope secured to the truss, the draught of the horse caused the truss to ascend to the necessary height, being steadied in its ascent by other ropes secured to its two ends. When the truss thus hoisted was fixed in its resting place, the mast was moved along a plank by means of crow-bars, being maintained in a perpendicular posi- tion by the alternate slackening and tightening of the cords extending from its head to stakes driven into the grounds Having thus been moved 24 feet, it was ready for the operation of a second hoisting. Two of these great masts, fixed on each side of the transept, were used daily, and in one day as many as seven of the great 72-feet trusses have been raised to their proper position and secured, the apparatus for elevating them having travelled in a vertical position no less than 168 feet. Towards the beginning of December the climax of activity was arrived at, and the most trying operation in the whole construction of the building commenced, namely, the hoisting of the main ribs for the great transept roof The easiest and at the same time the most secure method of proceeding, with respect to the conduct of this operation, had for some time occupied the attention of the con- tractors. An ingenious suggestion, made to them by Mr. Wilbee, one of their foremen, was at once adopted, and, with certain modifications, it was promptly carried out. The floor for the lead flat was already completed, so that an admirable stage was prepared upon which to make the necessary arrangements. The ends of the column into which it was designed to drop the ends of the ribs, rose about four feet above the level of the lead flat, and on tlie tops of those columns timbers were laid, forming landing stages or tram-ways, to receive the ribs when hoisted. It was of course necessary to raise the ribs sufficiently high above the lead flat to enable their ends to descend upon the tram-ways. To effect this it was determined that two ribs should be placed on end, at a distance of 24 feet from each other, and framed together with purlins and diagonal ties, exactly as they would have to be framed in their finished state. Two complete sets of additional temporary ties were further introduced, to provide for the strain to which the ribs would neces- sarily be exposed from their altered position in the act of hoisting. The feet of the ribs were securely attached to stout pieces of timber, to afford the means of safely attaching the cords by which they were to be raised. Thus framed together, the ribs were moved on rollers to the centre of the square formed by the inter- section of the nave and transept. On the extra strong trusses which have been described as spanning the nave Provisions for at this point, two pairs of shear-legs were fixed at 24 feet from one another, and secured by ropes connecting them with distant portions of the building. These hoisting shears consisted of two legs on each side of the transept, each leg being formed of three stout scaffold poles lashed together at the top, and footed on planks laid across the lead flat. The heads of these shear-legs inclining slightly forwards, had connected with them blocks and pulleys from which descended ropes, attached to the four ends of the two ribs. The hoisting ropes connected with the sets of pulleys passed down from the shears to leading blocks, attached to the four columns at the angles of the intersection of the nave and transept. From these guide blocks they were led off" diagonally to four powerful crabs, so arranged that the gangs of men employed at each were placed opposite the end of the rib acted upon by the crab they worked; and thus the foreman of each gang was enabled so to regulate the exertions of his men as to make them correspond with those of the remaining gangs, and to maintain the two ends on each side in a perfectly horizontal plane. As the diameter of the semicircular ribs exceeded the width of the transept by Raising, their own thickness, it became necessary, in order that they might pass between the trusses, to commence by raising two of their ends to a considerable height from the ground; and to maintain their diameter at the same angle of inclination until they were hoisted above the columns into which they had to drop. On raising them to a height of about 65 feet from the ground, the highest ends were drawn in a horizontal direction, so as to hang over a portion of the lead flats, and thus room was left to allow the other ends to be lifted to a corresponding height on the opposite side. The ribs were shifted slightly in a horizontal direction until the ends came over the columns, they were then lowered down upon rollers placed upon the tram-ways above mentioned, and by means of these rollers the ribs were moved along to the furthest end of the transept. The place in the centre of the building occupied by the ribs thus hoisted was immediately taken by another pair, which were similarly connected, raised, and moved to within 24 feet of the first pair. When the whole of the ribs were thus elevated to their places, the spaces when raised, how between them were filled up with the necessary intermediate ribs and connections; ^ and thus the whole roof was framed together complete. The raising of the main ribs commenced on the 4th of December, and the Time occupied in whole sixteen were fixed in one week. It occupied about an hour to raise a pair of ribs from the ground to the level of the lead flat, buf the previous prepara- and number of tioHS involved a mucli longer space of time. Eleven men worked at each crab, men required. ox. and about 16 were employed on the lead flat, to guide the ribs in their ascent, and see to the safe condition of the shear-legs and tackle. Considering the anxious nature of this performance, it must be regarded as a most gratifying circumstance, that the whole operation was accomplished without any untoward occurrence. Glazing the ^ No sooucr had the skeleton of the transept-roof been completed, than the work of glazing commenced. For a considerable portion of the height of the curve, ladders and temporary scaffolds enabled the workmen to proceed with their labours; but in order to complete the upper part an ingenious box was con- structed, moving on wheels in the line of the gutters. This box was lowered down from the lead-flat at the summit to any portion of the roof. Glazing tiie nave The glaziug of the uavc roof presented formidable difficulties, from the great extent of work to be got through in so short a space of time. The ingenuity ol the contractors was, however, brought to bear upon the subject, and provisions were made by them for the simultaneous glazing of large areas, entirely indepen- construction of dcut of Variations of weather. 76 machines were constructed, each capable of machines; accommodatiug two glazicrs; these machines consisted of a stage of deal about 8 feet square, with an opening in its centre sufficiently large to admit of boxes of glass, and supplies of sash-bars, putty, &c., being hoisted through it. The stage rested on four small wheels, travelling in the Paxton gutters, and spanned a width consisting of one ridge and two sloping sides. In bad weather the workmen were covered by an awning of canvas, stretched over hoops for their protection. How used. In working, the men sat at the end of the platform next to whatever work had been last done; from which they pushed the stage backward sufficiently far to allow them to insert a pane of glass, and as soon as that was completed they moved again far enough to allow of the insertion of another. In this manner each stage travelled uninterruptedly from the transept to the east and west ends of the building. The dexterity acquired by the men in working the machines Quantity of work was vcry remarkable. By means of them 80 men in one week put in upwards of 18,000 panes of glass, being not less than 62,600 feet superficial. The greatest number of panes inserted by a man in one day was 108, being 367 feet 6 inches of glazing. A somewhat similar machine has been constructed for the purpose of effecting any repairs that may be necessary in the finished roof, with the differ- ence that its wheels travel upon the ridges instead of in the gutters, and that of course there is no aperture for the purpose of hoisting. Rapid supply of Taki'ug iuto account the innumerable quantity of small castings requisite, and small castings. extreme rapidity with which they had to be supplied, tlifeir quality and clean- ness is truly remarkable; and the fact of their having all issued from one foundry, that of the contractors at Smethwick, proves the great facility with which w^ork of that nature can be executed in England. Celerity with Among the later operations connected with the completion of the work, the ing of the nave most remarkable for the celerity with which it was conducted, was the ornamental roof was executed, p^'^^'j^g q£ navc roof. Irou straps^ attached to the trusses, supported a number of scaffold poles, on which a perfect cloud of boards was laid, and as many as between 400 and 500 painters, by these means, worked their way, with extreme rapidity, from one end of the building to the other. The magnitude of this great building elevated into serious undertakings matters Tjie^appi«^aUon which, under ordinary circumstances, are accounted little more than trifles, make the^gaiiery Hence machinery was applied to the formation of the entire length of hand-rail required for the galleries. In fig. 33 is represented a set of cutters (A fig. 33), by exposure to the rapid revolution of which, roughly-shaped strips of mahogany were instantaneously converted into smooth and cleanly rounded hand-rails (B fig. 33). A little sand-paper and French-polish sufiiced to bring them to their present excellent condition. Fig. 33. In summing up the description of any great engineering undertaking, it is too J'^'^JJJ'^'^yj^ often a painful task to have to record the loss of life so frequently involved. Considering the difficulties of construction, the necessary perils to which the workmen were exposed, and their habitual imprudence, arising, partly, from real indifierence to danger, and partly from bravado, it has been a source of congratu- lation that, in the performance of tliis contract, but very few accidents have occurred, and those, with two or three exceptions, of a slight nature. Having now brought to a close our description of the building as it exists, and Conclusion, of the processes by which its existence has been developed, it remains only to reiterate our conviction that the courage, energy, and strength represented by its construction should be regarded by every Englishman with emotions conducive to some yet higher manifestation of national capability; and at the same time to express a hope that the products of British industry (of which the building is but the shrine), may display, in a yet higher degree and in a yet more tangible and varied form, the sources of Commercial Power, so many indications of which it has been our happy privilege to trace in the edifice itself.

Peculiar circum The circumstaiices under which this work is published appear to call for some stances ot pro- ^ , , ^ -. . . . -, auction of Cata- obscrvations upon the method of its production. From the fact that it is without a precedent in the annals of literature, it follows that its preparation and pub- lication have been attended with peculiar, because unforeseen, difficulties. All those obstacles in the way of its completion which would necessarily develop themselves from the remarkable manner in which its contents have been created, and from the want of a guiding experience in the publication of works of this nature, have been contended with in its progress to a perfect state. The follow- ing may be considered as an outline of the manner in which the materials for the construction of this volume were collected, and of the system adopted to reduce them to a definite form, and as far as possible to a certain degree of consistency of expression and of harmony of proportion. It is not the least remarkable fact in connection with the Great Exhibition, Exhibitors the that the Catalogue may be really regarded as the production of many thousands ol' authors,—represented by exhibitors themselves. By a decision of the Executive Committee, every exhibitor was required, prior to the reception of liis articles at the Building, to have filled up a certain printed form, containing a description of his productions in the English language, accompanied with such general observ- ations as might be suggested by the peculiar character of the things described and intended for exhibition. These forms, which were to be to the Catalogue what the MS. of an author is to his proposed work, were framed Avith care, and were accompanied with instructions for filling them up, which suggested those points on which interesting or important information might be supplied, together with the descriptive account. There were four varieties, each appropriated to one of the four great sections of Raw Materials, Machinery, Manufactures, and Fine Arts. The essential characters of these forms were similar in each section, but the instructions for filling them up differed necessarily with the peculiar difierences suggested by each section. The subjoined form represents that used in sending in descriptions of machinery, and is a type of those used in the other sections: — Catalogue form. -List of Articles of MACHINERY to be exhibited by Exhibitor's Surname.

No. of Articles. DESCRlPTfONS. Rules fur com- pilinjj forms for In order to facilitate tlieir classification on being returned by exhibitors, the classification of tliG forrns forms in the four different sections were printed in black, blue, red, and yellow, the latter applying to sculpture and fine art, the former to raw materials, and the intermediate ones respectively to machinery and manufactures. Every exhibitor was required to send in one of these forms, accompanied with a duplicate in every respect similar to it, and in so doing was supplied with a " receipt for catalogue forms," which was a guarantee for the reception of his goods into the Building. A very large number of these forms were printed and supplied to Local Committees, and to all exhibitors who applied for them. The instructions for filling them up were as follows :— Rules for Compiling the Catalogue. The Executive Committee are desirous of impressing upon Exhibitors that the formation of the Catalogue which, however great may he its hulk, must necessarily be compiled and printed in a very short time, will be much facilitated, if Exhibitors will have the kindness to follow the rules hereinafter xjrescribed when they furnish the descriptions of the Articles as they wish them 10 appear in the Catalogue. 1. Every Exhibitor should write the description of every Article or series of Articles he exhibits, on paper of the same size as the present page (namely, about 13 inches by 8 inches). The paper must be written on one side only. There should be a margin of one inch at the left side of the page. 2. Should the description extend beyond a single page, each separate page must be marked with the Exhibitor's name, and numbered consecutively, both at the head and foot. 3. To prevent errors in compilation and misprinting, it is desirable the handwriting should be very clear, especial care being taken with all names and technical terms. 4. It is indispensable that each Exhibitor should furnish the following particulars, and in the exact order prescribed :— I Exhibitor's surname .... Christian name. II. ... . Country Address, stating the nearest Post Town. III Capacity in which the Exhibitor appears, whether as Producer, Importer, Manufacturer, Designer, Inventor, or Proprietor. IV. The name and description of every Article of importance or class of Articles exhibited ; each Article or Class beginning a separate paragraph, e. g.— a Specimens of dyed Cottons, &c. h Specimens of dyed Silks, &c. 5. It is necessary that the descriptions of the Articles should set forth, as far as may be practicable, the following particulars :— As respects Articles to be exhibited In Section 1. Raw Materials and Pro- cesses, the descriptions should specify— a The commercial name in English, French, and German. 6 The scientific name. c The place where obtained ; the name of the mines and period they have been worked, should be given with minerals. d The place where exported. e The uses. / The consumption. g The superior excellence of the particular Specimens. h In the case of processes, such as dyes, or prepared materials, such as mixed metals; it should be stated whether the Article is patented or not. The novelty and importance of the prepared product, and the superior skill and in- genuity manifested in the process of preparation should also be very briefly pointed out. i Where price is an element for considera- tion, the price at which the importer or producer can sell the Article. j Any pai-ticular features which the Exhi- bitor desires to be noticed by the Jury, In Section 2.

I Where price is an element for considera- tion, the price at which the importer or manufacturer can sell the Article. m Any particular features which the Exhi- bitor desires to be noticed by the Jury. Fine Arts. In SECTION 4. FiNE ArTS, MoDELS, SCULP- TURE, and Plastic Art^ the descriptions should specify— a The name of the Artist or Designer, if the same should not be the Exhibitor. 6. Exhibitors are required to make their descriptions brief, and to confine tliem as much as possible to facts. 7. Two Copies, in the English Language, of the Exhibitor's descriptions, both being precisely alike, must be furnished before the Articles can be permitted to enter the Building. If an Exhibitor's Articles are sent in several packages, the list should indicate the contents of each separate package. 8. Her Majesty's Commissioners have consented to allow Illustrations of Articles exhibited to be inserted in the large Catalogue, after approval by the Executive Committee. Exhibitors desirous to avail themselves of this privilege must communicate their intention of providing Illustrations. the Illustrations, and state their character, whether Engraving on Wood, on Steel, or Litho- graphy. Communications are to be addressed to the Executive Committee, at the Building for the Exhibition, Hyde Park, London, marked on the outside, " Catalogue." 9. Exhibitors who may desire that their names and the descriptions of their productions should appear in any French and German Editions of the Catalogue which may be authorized, are requested to furnish at the same time with the two English Copies, a French and German translation of the descriptions, made out in all respects as before prescribed. That a careful attention to these instructions would have developed a vast amount of most valuable and interesting knowledge, can scarcely be questioned; and that in a considerable proportion of cases such has been the result, will appear Attention paid to ou examination of the contents of this volume. That such a degree of attention was not universal is only what was to have been expected, both in consequence of the pressure of time under which many exhibitors laboured, and also from the fact that a large proportion, occupied in exclusively industrial pursuits, were unused to literary composition. The forms, with their duplicates, on being filled up, were transmitted to the Executive Committee; the duplicate being retained by the Executive, the other copy was placed in the compilers' hands. The first step in preparing these forms for the press was their arrangement into classes corresponding to the thirty divisions decided upon by the Executive. The number and variety of objects embraced by the returned forms rendered this First stage of a tcdious and difiicult task. On its bein^ effected, the forms remained to be preparation for . ^ . • r ■> • n i • printing. cxammcd, and put into such a state as to satisfy the requirements oi the printer. They were consequently read, and as far as possible thrown into that state of connection of parts, and removal of superfluous material, which might enable them to be set up in a convenient form in type. Although much had been by these means efiected in the preparation of the material of the catalogues, the most important part of the labour involved, prior to its assuming its present form, remained to be accomplished. The scientific and Scientific revision technical iuaccuracics of a lar^e proportion of the returned forms, together with and correction. . ^ ^ . , ° their literary reconstruction rendered m a large proportion of cases absolutely necessary, demanded attentive revision and correction. Several considerations rendered this extremely difficult. Among these were the shortness of the period absolutely allotted for the completion of the work, the impossibility of verifying the descriptions given with the objects of which they treated, and the immense variety of subjects comprehended by the Exhibition itself, and necessarily described in these forms in a manner in many instances more or less imperfect. The occasion called for a large amount of peculiar knowledge—of knowledge not to be gained by study, but taught by industrial experience, in addition to that higher knowledge, the teaching of natural and experimental philosophy. To meet these requirements the following plans were devised, and carried into operation. A Plans adopted, number of scientific gentlemen gave their consent to undertake the revision and correction of proofs of the returned forms in their peculiar departments, with a view to remove from them those errors which might present themselves, and to supply what might appear requisite to give prominence to their really important features. In addition to this it appeared advisable, as critical observations were necessarily inadmissible, to relieve the tedium of mere description, and to assist in pointing out the leading features of interest in the objects described, or in direct relation with them, by appending, as the subjects of the proofs suggested, such brief annotations as might appear best calculated to effect these objects. As a certain degree of harmony of procedure was considered absolutely neces- suggestions as to . . , ^ . ^ . principles of sary, m order to give a consistent character to such corrections and annotations, correction and supplied as they would be from a variety of sources, a few suggestions of certain general principles were adopted, and as far as possible acted upon. It is not necessary to reproduce the whole of these suggestions in their original form; but since it is important that exhibitors should be informed of the principles which, to a great extent, guided and determined the corrections and annotations which are foimd in this work, they are here subjoined. Attention is particularly directed to suggestion 5, under the head annotations, by which it will be per- ceived that the character of critical notices has been strictly excluded from the annotations appended to the descriptions in this work. 1. Corrections. These will he chiefly of the following kind :— Corrections. 1. To correct in a general way any obvious typographical inaccuracies. 2. To correct with care all technical and scientific errors in names, places, and things. 3. Occasionally, if time permit, to recast badly composed sentences or expressions. 4. To delete redundancies and self-laudatory terms, or expressions that could in any way be so construed, or critical and extraneous statements. 2. Annotations. Many of the proofs will undoubtedly suggest interesting elucidatory notes. Annotations. As it is desirable that the same notes should not be repeated, the information which, under other circumstances, or in a volume of a different kind, it would be well to present in a mass, may be conveniently subdivided, and a portion appended to the most appropriate proofs on the subject to which it refers. Thus, for a vegetable or animal product, a line or two as to its history might be attached to one proof, a note upon the natural order or tribe yielding it to another, the uses to a third, the commercial importance, &c., to a fourth, ^c. In the selection of proofs for annotation, those of course will be preferred which are in themselves the most interesting and suggestive. It is considered desirable that these notes should as far as possible partake of the following characters :— 1. To be as short, clear, and definite as possible. Character of. 2. To have reference, as far as may be, if the article cannot be seen— a. To the article as described by the Exhibitor. h. To its uses, history, consumption, production, &c. (See Memorandum for the instruction of Exhibitors in preparing the descriptions contained in forms for the Catalogue.) 3. To be of the following average length— a. Articles of primary importance, as, for example, " cotton," " iron," " steam- engine," and such like, eight or ten lines. h. Articles of secondary importance, four and three lines. 4. The same annotations not to be repeated or appended to more than one proof. 5. Observations of a critical character, in either sense of that term, are inadmissible. So soon as the work actually commenced, a mechanical difficulty of no common pifficuities atten- ... . transmission proportions presented itself. On the distribution of proofs for the purpose of annotation and correction, they were necessarily cut up into separate portions, which had destinations as far distant as Germany and remote parts of the United Kingdom, whither they were despatched for the purpose of ensuring their scientific and technical accuracy. Many thousand proofs were thus scat- tered in various directions, yet all were required to be gathered to^'etlier again, and arranged precisely in the same form and order as that assumed prior to their dispersion. Some of these proofs were not more than three inches long, and not broader than a narrow ribbon, containing only two or three lines; the difficulty of determining and immediately affixing the proper place of such a minute strip in a work of such magnitude as the present, seemed to be great. A simple method of ascertaining not merely the place in the catalogue, but its entire history, its destination, annotator, and return was, however, contrived, and the Record of history history of every proof has thus been accurately recorded. The information thus of proofs. obtained, was so accurate and precise, that on the temporary delay of very small proofs, their original destination was instantly discovered, together with the date of transmission, and the name of the annotator to whom they had been sent. Much punctuality characterized the return of the dismembered portions of this large volume. Had not such been the case, the original plan of scientific and technical revision could not have been persisted in. As a general rule, it was considered advisable to limit annotations to an average of eight or ten lines in length; but in certain instances, where peculiar technical, local, or scientific information has been available, this rule has been to a very considerable extent departed from. Technological The lanffuaffc of the arts amonff various nations has always been ree^arded as of mistranslations. _ P_ . , . ° . • i i i • p i • i • extreme difficulty m translation. A considerable portion oi this work is neces- sarily written in this language, and it is therefore to be expected that, notwith- standing the precautions employed, errors of description may occur in those parts of it which describe the productions of foreign exhibitors. It is requested that these may be pointed out. In a number of instances technical terms have been explained by notes. As far as it was possible foreign weights and measures have been converted into English. Mottoes selected The iTLottoes ou the tltlc-pages of this work were selected and placed by His by Prince Albert. ^-^ t-* a Royal Highness Prince Albert. There is a peculiar feature in this Catalogue to which attention requires to be directed. This is the fact, that it embodies to a large extent the science oi commerce. An attempt has been made here to convert the changing and inaccu- rate conventional terms of trade into the precise and enduring expressions of science. In classes 1 to 4 of the Exhibition, are contained specimens of a vast proportion of the raw materials upon which human industry daily operates through- out the world. In the majority of the descriptions of the articles exhibited in these four classes, will be found the commercial names of the materials, together with their Catalogue vaiu- scientific equivalents. As an instance, may be mentioned the woods employed a,l)le as illustfci" . . ^ *^ tive of the sci- foT fumiturc, whicli are enumerated, with their commercial names, their Latin names, their native habitats, and the uses to which they are applicable. In the present edition of this work, prepared as it has necessarily been under highly unfavourable circumstances as to accuracy and correction, this attempt may not be as successful as in future editions; but such arrangements are made in order to obtain this important and valuable result, as will render future editions of this Catalogue permanently valuable in this respect, not only to the naturalist, but also to commercial men. That this feature of the Catalogue will not be without its fruit in the promotion of the objects of industry, may be expected from the knowledge of the fact, that hitherto, in consequence of the absence of such information in a collected form, the greatest difficulties have been experienced by commercial men in their endeavours to introduce into trade any new material of industrial importance, or to obtain adequate supplies of materials already known, but known under a variety of changing, local and unintelligible terms. In the seventeenth century, Egbert Boyle perceived the important results likely to arise from the " naturalist's insight into trades." It may be hoped that such results will now not fail of their accomplishment. The smaller Catalogue is an abstract of the present work. It was prepared by ^^^^JJ^y^^^^ condensing the revised and corrected slips forming the Illustrated Catalogue. For economy of space it was necessary to confine the descriptions in that work to an average length of three or four lines. On the first announcement of a descriptive Catalogue, erroneous ideas as to its size prevailed, to so large an extent as to lead to the fear that a sufficiency of type of the kind required could scarcely be obtained within the necessary time. Statements appeared which gave birth to the opinion that such a work could not be contained in less than ten volumes of eight hundred pages each; and for a considerable time it appeared probable that more than three such volumes would size, be required to complete this record of universal industry. It was soon rendered apparent that the estimates thus formed were incorrect. The articles contributed by a number of exhibitors—as in textile manufactures—were of a kind which did not admit of descriptions at length; and the returned forms of such articles were generally received written in the customary abbreviated language of com- merce. In cases of another kind, where descriptions at greater length were not only admissible, but desirable, economy of space has been obtained by the adoption of a condensed style. The Descriptive Catalogue has thus been reduced, notwithstanding the addition of annotations, to a convenient size. That a work produced under the circumstances in which this Catalogue appears should contain inaccuracies, can less be cause of surprise than would its complete accuracy. One of the greatest obstacles to its correctness has been the incessant necessity for alterations of place and insertions of fresh material. In its preparation, however, an attempt has been made to communicate to it a value enduring beyond that of the occasion of its production. The vast and wonderful accumulation of the products of human industry, of which it professes to be the exponent, is gathered only for a time. The intention of this Great Collection accomplished, and its objects realized, the industrial store must be again scattered ^l™""*^^"*^ among the nations contributing to its gathering. But this record of the history of the Grreat Exhibition must endure beyond the duration of the Exhibition itself May it remain to indicate to other times the successful accomplishment of the greatest conception of our own, and the favour of the Divine Providence effect- ing that result.

One end exhibits in the centre the armorial bearings of Her Majesty the Queen, stirrounded by masses of foliage, natural flowers and birds ; on the rocker, beneath, is seen the head of "Nox," represented as a beautiful sleeping female, crowned with a garland of poppies, supported upon bats' wings, and surrounded by the seven planets. The other end, or the back of the head of the cradle, is devoted to the arms of H.R.H. Prince Albert; the shield occupies the centre, and round it, among the arabesque foliage, the six crests of the Prince are scattered, with the motto Treu und fest." Below, on the rocker, is discovered a head of "Somnus" v^ith closed eyes, and over the chin a wimple, which, on each side, terminates in poppies. In the interior of the head of the cradle, guardian angels are introduced; and above, the royal crown is found embedded in foliage. The friezes, forming the most important part of the sides of the body of the cradle, are composed of roses, poppies, conventional foliage, butterflies, and birds, while beneath them rise a variety of pinks, studied from nature. The edges and the insides of the rockers are enriched with the insignia of royalty and emblems of repose.

The carpet has been produced in the following manner:— The pattern, originally designed and painted by the artist, has been subdivided into detached squares, which have been worked by different ladies, and on their completion the squares have been reunited, so as to complete the design. In the pattern, which consists partly of geome- trical, and partly of floral forms, heraldic emblems are also introduced. The initials of the executants are orna- mentally arranged, so as to form the external border. The whole design is connected by wreaths or bands of leaves and foliage, the centre group representing the store from whence they have been distributed. The carpet has been produced under the management of a Committee. The design by Mr. J. W, Papworth; the patterns were painted and the work executed imder the superintendence of Mr, W. B. Simpson.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PEINCE ALBERT, ON BEHALF OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES. 98 Shield presented by His Majesty the King of Prussia to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, in commemoration of the baptism of the infant Prince, for whom His Majesty acted as sponsor. The pictorial embellishments of the shield, the general plan for which was given bj the king himself, were de- signed by Doctor Peter Von Cornelius, and the archi- tectural ornaments by Counsellor Stiiler. The execution of the remaining portions—the goldsmiths' work, enamel, &c., were performed by M. G. Hossauer; the modelling by M. A. Fischer; the chasing by M. H. Mertens; and the lapidary work by M. Calandrelh. In the centre of the shield is a head of Our Saviour. The middle compartment, surrounded by a double line of ornamental work, is divided by a cross into four smaller compartments, which contain emblematic repre- sentations of the two Sacraments, Baptism and the Lord's Supper, with their Old Testament types, the opening of the fountain in the rock by Moses, and the fall of manna. At the extremities of the arms of the cross are represented the Evangelists, noting down what they have seen and heard in the Gospels, which are to communicate to all futurity the plan of man's sal- vation, and prove inexhaustible sources of divine revela- tion and doctrine. On the extreme points of the arabesques that rise above the Evangelists, are represented the Christian virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity, and of Christian Righteousness. Around the entire centre stand in a circle the twelve Apostles. Peter is seen under Faith represented in the arabesque; on the right and left of him are Philip and Andrew; under Hope is James; on either side are Bartholomew and Simon; John is placed beneath the figure of Charity; on either side are James the younger and Thomas; under Righteousness is Paul; on the right and left are Matthew and Judas Thaddeus, going forth into the world to teach and to baptize, and to propagate the kingdom of the Redeemer. The relievo, which runs round the edge of the shield, represents the betrayal, the redeeming atonement of Christ, and his resurrection. Another portion represents Our Lord's triumphant entry into Jerusalem; a third portion the descent of the Holy Ghost, the preaching of the gospel, and the formation of the church. The fourth and principal compartment contains an allegorical repre- sentation of the birth of the Prince of Wales, and of the visit of the King of Prussia, accompanied by Baron Hum- boldt, General von Natzmer, and the Count von Stolberg, and welcomed by H.R.H. Prince Albert and the Duke of Wellington; a Knight of St. George being represented on the beach standing upon a dragon. The shield has been denominated the Buckler of Faith. The inscription on the shield runs thus :— FRIDEEICUS GULIELMUS REX BORUSSORUM ALBERTO EDUARDO, PRINCIPI WALLI^, IN MEMORIAM DIEI BAFT. XXV JAN. A, MDCCCXLII. ZoLLVEREiN, Octagon Room, No. 836.

Model houses for four families, at the Cavalry Bar- of His Royal Highness, Prince Albert, President of the racks, Hyde Park, in connexion with the Exposition of Society for Improving the Condition of the Labouring the Works of Industry of All Nations, built by command | Classes. Groimd Plan. His Royal Highness has had this building raised on his own account, with a desire of conveying practical in- formation calculated to promote the much-needed im- provement of the dwellings of the working classes, and also of stimulating visitors to the Exhibition, whose position and circumstances may enable them to carry out similar undertakings, and thus, without pecuniary sacrifice, permanently to benefit those who are greatly dependent on others for their home and family comforts. In its general arrangement, the building is adapted for the occupation of four families of the class of manufac- turing and mechanical operatives, who usually reside in towns, or in their immediate ^dcinity; and as the value of land, which leads to the economising of space, by the placing of more than one family under the same roof, in some cases, renders the addition of a third, and even of a fourth story desirable, the plan has been suited to such an arrangement without any other alteration than the requisite increase in the strength of the walls. The most prominent peculiarity of the design is that of the receding and protected central open staircase, with the connecting gallery on the first floor, formed of slate, and sheltered from the weather by the continuation of the main roof, which also screens the entrances to the dwellings. The four tenements are arranged on precisely the same plan, two on each floor. The entrance is through a small lohhy, lighted from the upper part of the door. The licing room has a superficial area of about 150 feet, with a closet on one side of the fireplace, to which warm air may be introduced from the back of the range; over K 2 the fireplace is an iron rod for hanging pictures; and on the opposite side of the room a shelf is carried above the doors, with a rail fixed between them. The scullery is fitted up with a sink, beneath which is a coal-bin of slate; a plate-rack at one end, drained by a slate slab into the sink, covers the entrance to the dust- shaft^ which is enclosed by a balanced self-acting iron door. The dust-shaft leads into a closed depository under the stairs, and has a ventilating flue, carried up above the roof. The meat safe is ventilated through the hollow brickwork, and shelves are fixed over the doors, A dresser-flap may be fixed against the j)artition. The sleeping apartments, being three in number, pro- vide for that separation which, with a family, is so essen- tial to morality and decency. Each has its distinct access, and a window into the open air ; two have fire- places. The children's bed-rooms contain 50 feet superficial each, and, opening out of the living room, an opportunity is afforded for the exercise of parental watchfulness, without the unwholesome crowding of the living room, by its use as a sleeping apartment. The parents' bed-room, with a superficial area of about 100 feet, is entered through the scullery—an arrange- ment in many respects preferable to a direct approach from the living room, particularly in case of sickness. The recess in this room provides a closet for linen ; and a shelf is carried over the door, with a rail fixed beneath it—a provision which is made in each of the other bed- rooms. The water-closet is fitted up with a Staffordshire glazed basin, which is complete without any wood fittings, and supplied with water from a slate cistern in common of 160 gallons, placed on the roof over the party and stair- case walls. The same pipes which carry away the rain- water from the roof serve for the use of the closets. Constructive arrangement.—The peculiarities of the build- ing in this respect are,, the exclusive use of hollow bricks for the walls and partitions (excepting the foundations, which are of ordinary brickwork), and the entire absence of timber in the floors and roof, which are formed with flat arches of hollow brickwork, rising from 8 to 9 inches, set in cement, and tied in by wrought-iron rods connected with cast-iron springers, which rast on the external walls, and bind the whole structure together; the building is thus rendered fire-proof, and much less liable to decay than those of ordinary construction. The roof arching, which is levelled with concrete, and covered with patent metallic lava, secures the upper rooms from the liability to changes of temperature to which apartments next the roof are generally subject, and the transmission of sound, as well as the percolation of moisture, so common through ordinary floors, is effectually impeded by the hollow- brick arched floors. The external and main internal walls are of patent bonded brickwork, which has the important advantages of securing dryness and warmth, * with economy of con- struction; another great benefit arising from the vise of hollow bricks is, that where they are laid double, in * Those who are conversant with the evils resulting from the ab- sorption of moisture by common bricks, and the consequent loss of temperature in rooms by evaporation, will duly appreciate these ad- vantages. parallel courses, without headers, as in the patent bonded brickwork, the internal face of the w^all is sufficiently smooth to render plastering unnecessary. In the present instance, where plastering has been resorted to, it is con- fined to one side of a thin partition, or to partitions formed with bricks not intended for the situation in which they are used. In regard to some other parts of the brickwork, it should also be observed, that owing to the erection of the building having been determined on late in the winter, many difficulties had to be contended with in obtaining a sufficient supply of hollow bricks ; and from accidental circumstances, disappointments were expe- rienced in reference to a considerable number, on which account the structure should be regarded rather as the pledge of future excellence in hollow-brick construction than as its full accomplishment. The glazed surface of the bricks used in the two upper- floor living-rooms, and at the foot of the staircase, may be referred to as a specimen of what can be accomplished by the skilful adaptation of fitting materials, and as highly creditable to their maker. Specimens of glazed bricks of clay from the north of Devon are also exhibited. The advantages afforded by the use of hollow bricks in securing an effective system of insensible ventilation, deserves particular notice. Fresh air is admitted from any suitable point of the exterior of the building to a chamber at the back of the living-room fireplace, where being warmed, it may be conducted to any convenient place of exit above the level at which the fresh air is admitted. Vitiated air may be conveyed either into the chimney flue or to any other suitable place of exit through the upper wall courses, perforated for this pur- pose, beneath the springing of the arch, or through the arch-bricks themselves. Suitable air-bricks and venti- lators have been prepared with these express objects in view. Internally French plaster has been used, as drying quicker, and having a harder surface than ordinary plaster. The floors, where not of Portland cement, are laid with Staffordshire tiles, excepting to the right-hand room first floor, which is of lava. The coping is in Portland cement. The external string courses and in- ternal cornices are patent bonded bricks set in Portland cement, with the splayed side outwards. The mode of fire-proof construction, and the general arrangement of the fittings, are such as have been used in the Model Houses built by the Society for Improving the Condition of the Labouring Classes, to which the architect of this building, Henry Roberts, Esq., F.S,A,, also acted as honorary architect. In most parts of England, the cost of four houses, built on the plan of this model structure, with ordinary materials, and finished similar to the ground-floor apart- ments, may be stated at 440/. to 480/,, or from 110/, to 120/. for each tenement, contingent on the facilities for obtaining materials and the value of labour. Such dwell- ings, let at 3s, Qd. to 4s. a-week, would, after deducting ground-rent and taxes, afford a return of 7 per cent, on the amount of outlay. Where hollow bricks are obtain- able at a fair price, their use ought to effect a reduction of about 25 per cent, on the cost of the bzickwork, or eqiial on these four houses to about 40/. INTRODUCTION. The olbjects placed in this position are so in consequence either of tlieir size, or of their peculiar titness for such a site. On the southern side of the Western Entrance the objects are principally those which belong to Classes 1 and 27. Among these are fine specimens of the mineral fuel forming so valuable a feature in the geology of this country Several of the blocks of coal have been raised from deep pits by the ordinary lifting tackle, and present, from their size, a favourable idea of the mechanical facilities of extraction and means of transport possessed by the miners and railroads of England. The blocks of granite, of slate, of serpentine, of stone for grindstones, and of artificial cement, will likewise attract due notice. On the northern side of the West Entrance are large anchors, as those used in the Navy, a fine column of granite, specimens of colossal eartheii- ware, life-boats, the atmospheric recorder, hothouses, &c. The space within the Building, occupied by any of these articles, would have been great, while their intrinsic attractiveness might scarcely have been adequate to it. In their present position they are also better placed for examination.—E. E. WESTERN END. 1 Organ, John, Penzance, Cornwall—Manufacturer. Large block of serpentine from the Lizard, partly polished. [The serpentine of Cornwall is a green mineral, passing into yellow and red, the colour being often veined, spotted, dotted, and clouded. It is soft in the quarry, but becomes hard on exposure, and cuts readily, but its fracture is irregular. It is soft to the touch, but not greasy like steatite or talc; is indented by a blow of a hammer ; is infusible before the blo^vpipe; but parts with water by calcination, and hardens by exposure to heat. It is slightly acted on by acids. As a rock, serpentine is often mixed with other minerals, so that different specimens do not yield the same result on analysis. It usually contains, when pure, silica 42 to 44, magnesia 36 to 38, water 12 to 13, and is therefore a silicate of magnesia. Its colour is due to oxide of chromium, but it contains often much iron, and is some- times magnetic. The serpentine of Cornwall is considered to exhibit four varieties, differing much in hardness—these are called precious, common, steatitic, and calcareous; but the best kinds for ornamental purposes on a large scale are those found at Kennack Cove, the Balk, and Cadg- with, where large blocks can be obtained. The block placed outside the Building near the south-western exit will show the magnitude and capability of such blocks. A considerables quantity of the serpentine of the Lizard was formerly shipped to Bristol, for the manufacture of carbonate of magnesia.—D. T.

Blocks of the hardest Yorkshire stone, joined by one portion of cement, and one of sand, sustaining a weight of three tons. [Portland cement is formed by calcining together lime- stone and some argillaceous earth, the result being a mass which rapidly absorbs a certain quantity of water, and then becomes solid, a hydrous silicate of lime. The advantages over natural hydraulic limes consist generally of greater hardness and durability, arising from the mixture of material being mox^ perfectly under com- mand,—D. T. A,] Outside the Building. 6 MoRPHET, Jonathan, Studfold, near Settle— Producer. Specimens of stone called blue flag, or Grauwacke. Obtained from Horton Wood quarries, which have been worked probably about 100 years. This stone is prin- cipally used for cisterns and partitions, and is useful for curriers' tables, tanks, &c.

Samples of the raw material, with varioiis applications of it, are, therefore, of great practical importance. The lithographic stones from the lias are not unlike those from Germany, but they have hitherto been little used.—f). T. A.] 8 Old Dblabole Slate Company (by J. Carter), Camelford—Proprietors.

Samples of the stone, showing the natural surface, the half-rubbed, and the full-rubbed surfa^je. Three portions of a passage of twenty-four feet long by six feet broad each, laid with the same pavement, showing the three different kinds of surface. The principal uses of the article are laying footways, courts, railway stations, floors of manufactories and ware- houses, kitchens, cellars, cottages, entrance halls, churches, &c. When used with iron girders, it renders mills, &c., fire- proof, and is useful for farm buildings, and for cisterns, baths, manure tanks, troughs in chemical works, coping, for garden walls, &c. The pavement is found at the Forse- Rockhill quarries, four miles west from Thurso, Caithness, and it is there manufactured chiefly by machinery. It is said to be of a hard, close, strong, and uniform quality, and impervious to wet. It occu.rs in beds of various thick- ness, from one inch to three or four inches, and from one foot to eighty or a hundred feet superficial. The stone has been worked for more than twelve years, and is sent in large quantities to London, Glasgow, and other towns. [The Caithness flags are well known and much used for various economic purposes, chiefly paving. They are quarried from the middle division of the old red sand- stone (Devonian) series, as developed in the north of Scotland. The schists yielding them are often dark coloured and highly bituminous, slightly micaceous and calcareous, and often resembling rocks of much greater geological antiquity. Obscure vegetable impressions, and the remains of extinct fishes, are very frequently found in them, and these are often of considerable interest in the natural history of the ancient inhabitants of o\ir globe.— D. T.A.] 14 Freeman, W. & J., Millhank Street, Westminster— Producers. An obelisk in granite. Sundry large slabs and blocks of stone. 16 Struthers, William Samuel, 7 Holywell Street, Westminster—Manufacturer. Slate water filter, the water being filtered in its ascent. [The filtration of water by ascension is a simple me- chanical process, of considerable use in the arts, and capable of many modifications. The cistern, in such case, is furnished with two perforated shelves or false bottoms, between which the filtering medium is packed. At some distance above these is a third shelf, with a water-tight communication through the intervening cham- ber and the filter-bed, and opening into the bottom of the cistern. The foul water being let into the upper chamber, a cistern passes down into the bottom one by means of the tube, and is then forced up through the filter-beds by the presence of the water in the column. The pure water is thus delivered into the intervening space, whence it may be drawn off" at convenience. Slate is an admirable material for cisterns of all kinds, from its great strength, perfect cleanliness, and complete imperme- ability to water.—D. T. A.] 17 Royal Dublin Society—Producers.

Steam-coal from Coed Talon and Leeswood collieries, near Mold, North Wales, [This noble column of coal, said to weigh 16 tons, is from the main coal of the Flintshire coal-field, a seam nine feet thick, accompanied by five other beds of coal and four beds of ironstone. The quality of the coal is bituminous, and the proportion of ash less than 3 per cent. The Flintshire coal-field is a narrow strip, partly covered with new red sandstone, and extends 40 miles from north to south, with an ascertained breadth of from two to 12 miles, being cut ofi'by a north and south fault. The mines supplying the specimen extend over 1,300 acres, and were opened about 30 years ago. About 2,000 tons of coal per week are raised from them.—D. T.

Specimen of coal from the thirty feet, or thick-coal seam of South Staffordshire, cut out of the solid coal. This specimen is of the largest dimensions that could be brought out of the mine up a seven-feet circular shaft. It measures eighteen feet in circumference, and weighs five tons. The rope used in lifting it is also exhibited; it was manufactured by Mr. Wm. A. Chubb, of Woodpark, Devonport. The chains used in sending the coal out of the mine are shown in connexion with the rope; the block was raised by means of the ordinary machinery employed in the colliery. The picks used in hewing the coal. [The thick coal-seam of Staffordshire, of which a com- plete section is given by the exhibitors, and of which also a fine block weighing five tons is shown by Mr. Round, does not extend over a very large area, consisting, in fact, of the accidental junction of several seams with very thin and carbonaceous bands. The whole are necessarily worked together, and below them are no less than eight other seams (one of them 9 feet thick) worked near Wolverhampton. The district yields much ironstone, and the coal is being rapidly abstracted: it is used to an enormous extent for manufacturing purposes and iron- smelting in the neighbourhood of Birmingham.—D. T. A.] 37 James & Aubrey, Swansea—Producers. A large block of anthracite, or stone coal, from Cwm- Uynfell, in the Swansea valley. [The great South-Welsh coal-field includes, at a mode- rate estimate, as much as 1,000 square miles of country, unequally divided between bituminous coal and an- thracite, the dividing line being nearly coincident with the Neath Valley, and the anthracite portion extending to the west. The anthracite has only recently been intro- duced into use, but is now recognised as a very important material, the different kinds being of great value for spe- cial purposes, and yielding sometimes as much as 92 per cent, of carbon. The pure Welsh anthracite has been found to evaporate 10 lb. 8§ oz. water, by one pound of coal, the best bituminous coal not evaporating more than Outside the Building.

[The Barnsley coal is well illustrated in the Exhibition, as there will be found no less than three columns of it; two representing the whole thickness of what is called the thick bed, and the other from Silkstone, showing a beautiful variety of coal also found in the district. The situation of Barnsley, in the centre of the great coal- field of Yorkshire, and the abundance and quality of its coal, render it important among the inland towns producing mineral fuel. There are three principal varieties, viz., hard-stone coal, soft or tender coal, and cannel. The iridiscent or peacock coal may almost be regarded as a fourth. The coal is worked long-wall method.—D.

Fossil tree from the coal measures. [This fossil is one of those called by palaeontologists " Sigillaiia," appearing like the trunk of a tree stamped with a pattern in the regular rows in direction of its length. It is probably the trunk of the same kind of tree as that of which roots are found in infinite abundance in the fire clays beneath coal-bands. It was very common during the coal period. The stems exhibit no woody structure internally, having been for the most part hollow or succulent, and easily crushed; but they had a central woody axis, and an outer coating of bark, which is often found turned into coal. Leaves were probably originally attached to the scars, and were con- nected through the bark with the central woody axis,]— D. T. A.] 53 Bagnall & Gesson, West Bromwich, near Birmingham—Producers. Column of South Stafibrdshire thick coal—showing the different working seams as they exist in vertical section. Outside the Building. [The South Staffordshire coal-field is remarkable, in a geological point of view, for the absence of the mountain limestone and millstone grit, and the immediate super- position of coal measures on the Silurian limestones; and it differs also from other formations of the same kind by having a great preponderance of shales, and few inter- vening beds of sandstone. It is quite clear that the cir- cumstances of deposition must have been different, but the nature and extent of the difference it is not so easy to discover. The coal measures in Staffordshire are thus the only representatives of the carboniferous system, and they are almost entirely made up of shales, alternating with seams of coal and ironstone. The number of coal seams is only eleven, but the main bed in the middle of the deposit is upwards of 30 feet in thickness^ and it comprises, in fact, several beds of coal, separated by partings of shale so thin that the whole is worked together. This ten-yard coal crops out near Bilston, and extends from thence entirely across the southern half of the coal-field, where it forms the principal object of mining operations.—D. T.

Granite column upon a pedestal about 30 feet high, from the Cheesewring granite quarries, on the Manor of Eollaton, near Liskeard, Cornwall, belonging to the Prince of Wales. The pedestal, cap and base to the column, worked at the Cheesewring granite wharf, Belvi- dere road, Lambeth, and the shaft at the quarries.

The chief points of novelty are—1st. That by the peculiar con- struction of the lights, and the selection made in the materials to be used, putty and all other adhesive com- posts are entirely avoided. 2nd, That the glass can be put in or removed with such facility, that the bars and frame can be painted, the glass cleaned, and the whole effectually repaired at an immense saving upon the old system, 3rd. That it will not require such frequent repairs as ordinary greenhouses. 4th. That in the event of a fracture, it will not be absolutely necessary to wait for the assistance of a glazier to repair the same; the simplicity of the contrivance enabling any one to become his own glazier. 5th. That leakage—a universal com- plaint in the old system—is here guarded against by a peculiar grooved bar, which likewise assists to carry off evaporation, and renders ventilation more complete. 6th. That the glass being moveable, persons can erect greenhouses upon the property of others, and remove the same securely at the expiration of lease or rental terms. 62 Kent, A., Chichester—Inventor.

Large stone ware, adapted for chemical manufactures, household and other purposes. [Salt-glazed stoneware—of which there are many fine specimens exhibited by the above and other persons— differs from porcelain both in the quality of the clay of which it is constructed, and in the mode of glazing. The clay is obtained from Cornwall, Devonshire, and Dorsetshire, and consist largely of silica, the proportion of alumina being rather small, and the quantity of iron and lime inconsiderable. If either of these latter sub- stances is present in too large a proportion, it acts as a flux, and the material cannot withstand the intense heat of the furnace. If also any impurities exist that are destroyed during firing, a hole would be the result, which would completely destroy the value of the object if required for chemical use. The glazing of these vessels is effected by throwing into the vessels a quantity of very coarse salt shortly after the last charge has been added to the furnace-pipe; the salt is at once converted into vapour, and a perfect coating of glass is formed on every part of the vessels exposed, the soda of the salt uniting with the silica of the clay, while the liberated chlorine takes up the iron from the clay and escapes. Acids have no effect upon vessels thus prepared.—D, T.

Exhibited to show the quality of the Cornish granite. Taken from the quarries at Carnseu, near Penryn. Of this material a great quantity was used in the construction of new London bridge. [The granite best known as Cornish, is that obtained from near Penryn, which has been long and extensively used for various public works in England. It is obtained from various localities, and several qualities are employed, the finer kinds being very good. The whole quantity shipped at Penryn varies exceedingly in different years, amount- ing sometimes to nearly 20,000 tons, but is generally far less, often not a fourth part. The approximate value may be stated at about Is. 9c?. per cube foot before export, and the weight is usually taken at 14 cubic feet to the ton.—D. T.

The intention in tlie collection of the objects in the four Classes of the first section—Eaw Materials and Produce—has been to give a practical illustration of those substances in the mineral, animal, and vegetable kingdoms, which human industry is constantly occupied in converting into the varied foims of manu- factured articles, or which are themselves, as in the case of fuel, the indispensable sources of manufacturing power. If, therefore, it is desired to obtain a philosophical view of this Exhibition and its multifarious contents, it will be found useful to commence the study by the examination of those materials, which, in other depart- ments, have been caused to assume forms so diversified. From the raw mineral it is thus possible to proceed through the various stages of its manufacture, until it is finally seen embodying the conceptions of the mechanic, the architect, or the artist. Many of the objects comprehended under these four Classes have little or no external beauty, and present, consequently, no appreciable value to the uninstructed. But if it be considered that, in the preparation of these materials for use, and in their application to the purposes of life, consists the daily toil of multitudes of the human family, then the Classes of raw materials appear to take on a new and interesting aspect. The present Class is divisible into the following sub-classes:—A. Mining and quarrying operations. B. Geo- logical maps, plans, and sections. C. Ores and metallurgical operations. D. Non-metallic mineral products. It comprises all that relates to the procuring of metal yielding mineral substances, to their mutual geological relations, and to the operations necessary for subduing them to the requirements of the manufacturer. It also includes the extraction of minerals used as fuel, of marine minerals used in construction, of minerals used in manufactures, for ornament and for agriculture. Specimens illustrative of each of these subjects are to be found in this Class ; and if it be studied attentively it will be discovered that objects representative of all that properly belongs to the Class are contained in this collection. This Class is partly contained within Avenue S. of the Building, and extends from the western entrance to the Sculpture Room. If the study of it be commenced at the Sculpture Room and proceeded with to the western extremity of the Avenue, it will be found that the metalliferous minerals and the objects illustrative of metallurgical processes generally, are first encountered, and subsequently the non-metallic minerals, fuels, stones, and geological specimens. The arrangement of the objects in the Catalogue is, however, in the opposite direction. Upon the walls of this avenue are arranged maps, plans, and geological sections, in addition to specimens of decoration belonging to Class 27, which have a certain relation with the present Class. Among the groups of objects which present themselves most prominently on entering the avenue at the Sculpture Room are large specimens of lead ore and of lead in various stages of preparation. Specimens of silver extracted from lead by the crystallizing process of silver and gold, of iron, copper, tin, zinc, and other metals, are arranged in order along the Avenue. To these succeed mining ajjparatus of various kinds, and models illustrative of mining processes. Mineral fuels, containing every variety of coal, with specimens of cannel coal in manufactured state, cokes, peat, and artificial fuels come next. Slates, with illustrations of their economical application, building stones, china-clays, cements, and artificial stones follow these, and are suc- ceeded by geological specimens, gems, &c., up to the western termination of the avenue. This Class is also illustrated by several large objects placed outside the Building; among these are artiBcial cements applied to various purposes, specimens of slate, flagstones, blocks of anthracite and other coal, pillars of coal exhibiting sections of beds of that substance, and columns formed of single blocks of granite. Several of these specunens are remarkable for their size, and furnish good illustrations of the mechanical facilities of extraction and of transport possessed by this country. The whole of this Class may be considered well illustrative of the mineral wealth of Britain. If our supplies of the more precious metals are limited, the resources of power and wealth are given to this country in the exhaustless stores of minerals yielding the viler metals, and a fossil fuel with which it has been endowed. The ore, the fuel for its reduction, and the material for the necessary processes, are all to be found in abundance, and generally in direct geological proximity to each other. The possession of these materials, added to the development of the means of their employment, and of the applications of their products, lie at the foimdation of the present commercial and productive greatness of Great Britain.—R. E. South Side—Aeeas S. 1 to S. 27. 1 . Fossil fishes from the old red sandstone {Ceplialaspis). [The fossil fishes found in certain parts of the old red sandstone formation are of considerable value in marking the age of the deposit where the mineral character of the beds is very difierent from that ordinarily recognised. The specimen above referred to will be found to show very perfectly the general form of an animal so widely and clearly distinct from that of common fishes, that some doubt may be felt as to the identification. The relation has, however, been made out very satisfactorily, and several allied genera have been found in rocks of similar ancient date.—D, T. A.] 2 Powell, William John, Tishury, near Hindon, Wilts—Proprietor. Geological specimens :—A species of coral, from the sand of the upper oolite formation at Tisbury, found in a vein extending northward, and now converted into flint and chert. The hardest flints from this locality were originally manufactured into gun flints. [The town of Tisbury is on the Portland stone; but the lower beds of the Purbeck series, as well as the up- permost oolites, are quarried in the neighbourhood. A continuous bed of flint, about two inches thick, is seen in one of the quarries, and from this band are obtained beautiful specimens of coral in chalcedony. Some of the oolite of the neighbourhood is very fine-grained.— D. T. A.] 3 Carter, J., Delabole, near Camelford, Cornwall— Proprietor. Two specimens of rock crystal, taken from the slate quarries at Delabole, near Cornwall; used for jewellery. [The use of rock crystal in the arts is still very consider- able, as it is employed extensively in making spectacle glasses and for other optical purposes. It was formerly used for cups and various ornaments, and many finely cut specimens are exhibited from India, China, &c. The finest and largest crystals are from Madagascar, Switzer- land, and North America.—D. T. A.] 4 BoNiTTo, J. Nelson; Balleras, G. E., of London, Exhibitors; and Paris, E.—Producer. Specimens of emerald in the matrix from the mine of Muso, New Granada. [Emeralds of large size and perfect clearness are ex- tremely rare, and of great value, but found with flaws they are not so uncommon. They occur chiefly near granite in Siberia, Sweden, and New Granada, and in Africa, between Egypt and Ethiopia. The lightly coloured varieties are called beryl, and are found in the East Indies and Brazil. Emeralds have also been obtained from various parts of France, Ireland, Saxony, the Tyrol, and Connecticut, in the United States. Emerald is harder than quartz; its specific gravity is 2*73 (heavier than beryl), and it is generally found crystallized in a prismatic form. It is a silicate of alumina and a rare earth called ghicina, coloured by chrome.—D. T. A.] 5 & 138 Lentaigne, John, TallagM House, Dub lin—Proprietor. A specimen of limestone inclosing granite. Specimens of iron pyrites, from the great sulphur lode, Ballygahan mine, Wicklow; exported to Liverpool, &c, Sulphuret of copper, from same place. Sulphuret of lead, or galena; white carbonate of lead ; sulphate of barytes, with crystals of phosphate of lead ; all from Glenmolure mine, county Wicklow. Native gold, and imitation of a large piece (found some years ago), from the gold mines, county Wicklow. Silver (the property of Mr. Donegan, Dublin), from the Irish Mining Company's lead mines. Specimens of stratified breccia, composed of angular fragments of granite embedded in calx or impm-e lime- stone, and of gi^anite, from Crumlin quarry, near Tal- laght, county Dublin. Sulphuret of lead, from Killing mine, county Dublin; from Clontarf mine; from Lyrus, county Kildare; and other counties. Black oxide and other copper ores from Ballystein, county Limei-ick. Sulphurets of lead and copper, in fluate of lime, from Inveran, near Galway. Peacock copper ore, from Killarney mines. Oxide of manganese, from Glandore, county Cork. Bog iron ore, from Howth, county Dublin. Crystals of quartz, weigh- ing 84 lbs., from Donegal. [The iron pyrites of Wicklow is used in the chemical works of St. Helen's, and other places near Liverpool, for various processes where sulphur is reqxiired. It contains, when pure, iron 46'67, sulphur 53'33. This material is associated with the copper ores of Wicklow, and occurs in a vein traversing the copper lodes in a north-eastern and south-western direction. It is found at the surface, and is raised in large quantities, down to the depth of 50 feet, the lode varying in width from 4 to 36 feet. The native gold of Wicklow is remarkable for the com- paratively large qn.antities in which it has been found. Some of the lumps weighed from 18 to 22 ounces, and 945 ounces were collected during some operations cai-ried on by Government some years ago. The gold is asso- ciated with iron and quartz, in a bed of detritus varying from 20 to 50 feet deep. Considerable quantities of silver, as well as gold, have been found in Ireland at various periods in the history of the country,—D, T. A.] 6 Block of carboniferous limestone containing shells of Productus. 7 Breadalbane, Marquis of, Taymouth, Aherfeldy, Perth—Producer.

Granite, from the q^iarries of Barrs and Inverliver, on Loch Etive, Argyllshire, [The mineral produce of Perthshire, illustrated above, is obtained from systems of veins, some of which, running N, W. and S, W., contain copper ores of various kinds, with some ores of iron; and others, runningN.N.E, and S.S.W,, contain chiefly lead ore. The veinstone is generally quartz, and the ores include several interesting minerals,— D, T, A,] 8 Leeson, Dr, H. B., Greenwich—Inventor. Models, crystalline minerals, and engravings; illustra- tive of the exhibitor's system of crystallography. The following are the principles upon which these models have been constructed:— When the atoms of any description of matter have arranged themselves through the intervention of certain natural forces, in a form characterized by the evident order and angular disposition of its bounding surfaces, such solid form is termed a crystal. South Side—Areas S. 1 to S. 27. Every crystal may be referred to one or other of three classes or systems. These three classes are dependent on the relative direc- tion of three lines not all in the same plane, indicative of the direction from a common centre of origin of the natural forces by which the crystal has been formed; such three lines are termed the g-ubernatorial axes. The three classes are as follows:— Class 1. Rectangular. All the axes at right angles to each other. Class II. Oblique rectangular. One axis oblique to the other two, which are rectangular. Class III. Oblique. All three axes making equal oblique angles with each other. All the axes are of equal length, and in the second and third class the prevailing angle of obliquity is nearly (if not invariably) 101^ 49' 9-4", and its supplement 78° 10' 50-6". It is a very simple but important law, easily demon- strated, and greatly facilitating crystallographic investi- gations, that any plane of any crystal whatever must belong to one or other of the three following forms, which may be designated and defined as follows:— Trisecant. Cutting all three gubernatorial axes. Duosecant. Cutting only two axes, and therefore parallel to the third. Ultimate. Cutting only one, and therefore parallel to the other two. A set of fundamental forms, similarly constituted, belongs to each of the three classes. This circumstance, viz., the existence of such a set of forms, characterizes a class or system. Each fundamental form is produced by six similar and equal four-sided pyramids, one being placed at each end of every gubernatorial axis, so that the diameters of the base of the pyramid coincide with or bisect the other two gubernatorial axes. When the diameters of the base of the pyramid coin- cide with or are parallel to the gubernatorial axes, the form produced is trisecant. When, on the contrary, the diameters of the base of the pyramid, bisect or are parallel to the line of bisection of the gubernatorial axes, the form produced is duosecant. The sei-ies of fundamental forms is produced by a successive diminution in the height of the pyramid, according to a regular law. The diameter of the base of the pyi^amid in the trisecant series, and the sides of the base in the duosecant series, being a multiple of its height by some integer. When the diameter of the base becomes infinitely extended, or the height of the pyramid becomes 0, we arrive at the ultimate form, which is a cube in the rectangular class, a right rhombic prism in the oblique rectangular class, and a rhombohe- dron in the oblique class. The most frequent, if not the only series, is that in which the ratio of height in the pyramid to the diameters or sides of its base is as 1 to some power of 2, those actually observed being 2^, 2"'^, 2^, 2*, and 28. In this series w^e may pass from the trisecant to the duosecant, and from the duosecant to the trisecant forms, by a con- tinual replacement of edges by planes. Thus commencmg with the octohedron, and replacing its edges by planes, we pass to the dodecahedron, or first duosecant form. Thence to the trapezohedron, or second trisecant form. Thence to the pjrramidal hexahedron, or second duosecant form. Thence to a flatter trapezohedron, and so on, till we arrive at the ultimate form, or cube, when, by replacement of its edges, we may return to the dodeca- hedron, or first duosecant form. A new set of forms is produced by rotating, inverting, or altering the position of the pyramids 45°, so as to make trisecant pyramids duosecant, and duosecant pyra- mids ti"isecant; and next, by combination of two equal and similar fundamental forms, a set of forms having an eight-sided pyramid is produced at each end of the guber- natorial axes: thus, two octohedrons joined together pro- duce the triakis octohedron ; two trapezohedrons joined together produce the hexakisoctohedron, and so on. It appears as if these forms, like macled crystals, arise from a simultaneous development of two crystals in opposite directions, and then what would be re-entering angles are filled up, so that only the edges of the two crystals remain. 'Thus each eight-sided pyramid consists of planes joining the four lateral edges of one pyramid with those of the four lateral edges of another equal and similar pyramid. Lastly, from the forms thus described an infinite variety of others are obtained, first by the unequal development of particular planes, and next by composition of two or more forms. In natural crystals, it is frequently observed that certain planes are extended more than others ; indeed, it will be found that imequal development is the rule, and perfect forms are the exception. In the case of the diamond, which very commonly crystallizes in the regu- lar octohedral form, the octohedron is constantly un- equally developed, giving rise to the various forms ex- hibited in the drawing. When unequal development does not occasion the loss of any plane, the form is termed simply imperfect; but when, as in the passage of the octohedron into the tetra- hedron, or into the rhombohedron, certain planes are obliterated, the form is termed defective. The law of unequal development shows that whatever forms can be produced thereby from the series of forms already described, they may possibly have existence with- out any dimorphism in the substance examined. Pro- ceeding on this basis, the exhibitor has discovered that all the unequal-axed crystals are merely unequal develop- ments which have concealed the true character of the crystals, but which have been abundantly and conclusively explained by the small remnants of planes to which little attention has been heretofore directed, but which become of great significancy in relation to the law in question. 9 MiTCHEiii, Rev.

Sussex coast agates, found on the sea-beach; many containing specimens of petrified sponges, sea anemones (Choanites Ednigii), and other zoophytes. Specimens fashioned and polished for ornaments. [The agates on the Sussex coast are, to a gi'eat extent, if not entirely, chalk flints in a peculiar state; and they frequently exhibit very beautiful indications of organic structui-e. The definition of agate generally in mineralogy has reference to an apparently banded structure, or con- centric arrangement of silicious matter, often showing different tints of colour. When of considerable size, the central part is generally clear. The essential material is, in all cases, silica, and the colour is, no doubt, due to metallic oxides, chiefly of iron and manganese.— D. T. A.] 11 Slater & Wright, Wiithy—Manufacturers. Specimens of rough jet, and articles manufactured from jet for ornamental pui-poses. [Jet is a variety of coal occurring abundantly in certain localities, but not associated with true coal. At Whitby it is found in the lias beds of that district, and has long been known and worked. It is also common in France (Languedoc), the Alps, Spain (the Astuxias), and Gallicia, and in the United States at Massachusetts. Very large quantities are used for ornamental purposes, and for rosaries, crosses, &c., in Roman Catholic comitries.

It is a hydrous phosphate of alumina, with a little oxide of copper as the colouring matter. It occurs chiefly in rounded lumps in Persia and Arabia. Large lumps are rarely pure, and the price is about that of the opal. False turquoises are common, and are manu- factured of the teeth of animals colom-ed by phosphate of iron.

A collection of gems and precious stones, chiefly ilhis- trative of such as are used for personal ornament. The principal part of this collection was formed by Mr. Hertz, with a view to show the great variety of shades of colour in each species of stone, and to prove the connection of some classes; such as the corundum, where the tints of the ruby, sapphire, and topaz, are distinctly seen in the same stone. In the class of zircons and jargoons, the same connection of colours is exhibited. The specimens of diamond are interesting in point of crystallization as South Side—Areas S. 1 to S. 27. well as colour. The collection of pearls exhibit many varieties of colour both in the margarita and conch-shell specimens. [The colours of certain minerals are extremely useful to the mineralogist in the determination of species, and are presented in great varieties in distinct series, but some- times in very unconnected order. The most striking examples of series are found amongst gems, and are well illustrated in the collection described above, which is worthy of very careful observation and study. The gems which best exhibit series of colours are diamond, corimdum (oriental ruby and sapphire), topaz, emerald, garnet, and tourmaline. The 2d.rcons and jargoons are also remarkable, and highly interesting. In most cases, minerals that are nearly allied, and are homomorphic, present similar series of colom^; but in other cases, as in the diamond, the usual crystalline forms ex- hibit a more or less complex series in themselves. The principal colours of the gems are white, as opal, which is milk white; grey; black; blue, as some sapphires, which are Prussian blue, or the variety corundum, called ceylonite, which is indigo blue; green, as emerald; yellow, as topaz; red, as some zircons, garnets, ruby, &c.; and brown, as zircons. The varieties of colom* in pearls, extend from white and lead grey, through yellowish and pink, to black; the latter being, however, remarkable and rare exceptions, and the bluish or lead grey, being less valuable than more distinct tints. Some pearls exhibit much play of colour.—D. T.

[The neighbourhood of Bristol is remarkable for the great variety of mineral produce which it yields, and the extended seiies of rocks observable within a moderate distance. It presents in the oolites, a series of building stones universally known throughout England; in the lias, a number of useful materials used for lime, cement, and other pm-poses; in the new red sandstone, mineral soils rich in agricultural produce; in the coal measures, a very large store of mineral fuel; and in the carboniferous limestone, admirable and beautiful building material, adapted for almost every variety of circumstance. The Mendip Hills supply an important series of metalliferous ores; and, in addition to these sources of interest, many illustrations of the extinct natural history of our country are obtained from almost all the formations down to those of the latest date.—D.

[This series of rocks, illustrating the economic geology of the Bristol district, is of considerable interest, as showing a large succession of beds, and the result, in some measure, of their close association at the surface. Of the substances vised economically, the sands for Bath bricks, ochres, quartz crystals, and geodes, are worthy of notice. Of the ochres, the red and yellow are found in considerable quantities and of very good quality. They are friable, and stain the finger. The red is of deep colour, between crimson and purple, and of strong body; the yellow of fine gold colour. They are dry and mix well. The Bristol diamonds are clear quartz crystals, chiefiy found near Clifton.—D. T. A.] 30 Fahie, James K,, Tipperary, Ireland— Producer.

Sundry minerals from Truro. 34 Minerals from Liskeard, Cornwall. 35 Ipswich Museum Committee, by the Rev. J. Henslow, President—Producer. Sundry minerals obtained from the neighbourhood of Ipswich, and used in the arts, as manure, for cement, and for some other purposes. [These minerals from the neighbourhood of Ipsmch include the cement stores found at Harwich and dredged ofi" that coast; the recently obtained nodules, containing phosphate of lime, now rendered available for agricultural piirposes, and existing abundantly near Felixtow; and some other materials, all tending to illustrate the mineral riches of the district. Similar collections for other loca- lities would be of great interest in local museums, and might be collected on a large scale at very small cost.— D. T. A.] 36 Paine, John M., Farnliam—Producer. Phosphoric fossils and marls from the upper greensand, the gault, and the upper part of the lower greensand formations. These fossils are stated to contain as high a percentage of phosphate of lime as ordinary bones; and they have been proved to be useful in fertilizing land. They are easily converted into superphosphate of lime, by the agency of sulphuric acid. The clean fossils contain from 50 to 70 per cent, of bone-eai-th phosphate ; the green marl (without fossils) contains from 4 to 15 per cent. The substances found are characterised by the almost total absence of carbonic acid, and are, therefore, the more valuable as a material for forming superphosphate of lime. These phosphoric fossils are to be found in greater or less quantities at the bottom of the chalk range of South Side—Areas S. 1 to S. 27. hills throughout England. The fossils and marls are chiefly dng from the lands of the exhibitor at Farnham, in Surrey. Transverse section of pocket of hops of the choicest " Golding" variety, gi-own upon the phosphoric marl of the ''upper greensand." Entire pocket of the same as prepared for sale. Specimens of phosphoric fossils from the mammalife- rous crag of Suffolk; and of the ''Mineral Phosphate of Lime" or "Apatitfe/' from Estremadura, in Spain, and from New Jersey, in the United States. [The concretions of phosphate of lime, which were discovered by Mr. Paine in the cretaceous rocks near Farnham, in a state well adapted for economic use, and which are much employed for agricultural purposes, appear to exist in two or three bands in the upper green- sand and gault, not extending into the true lower green- sand. The concretions are occasionally formed about an organic centre, and appear to be instances of segregations of a mineral substance at one time generally distributed in a bed while being deposited at the bottom of a sea. The phosphoritic nodules are usually found in the Farnham district associated with green earth.—D. T. A.] 37 Lance, Edward Jarman, Frimley, Bagshot, Surrey—Producer.

This manure is obtained from precisely the same source as the Permdan guano; the sample exhibited was a conger-eel. It is chemically prepared with all its agri- cultiiral advantages undiminished. Fish refuse has ever been a well-recognised manure, especially along our coasts; but the demand has, for obvious reasons, been irregular, and the supply, as a consequence, still more so. By adopting, in our fisheries, the process of manufacture shown in the specimen, a regular market at all seasons of the year would be established, and the normal guano would thus become a means of supplying our farmers with a portable^, cheap, and valuable manure. [The large quantities of fish, particularly pilchards, mackerel, and hake, which are caught around the coast of Cornwall, render the preparation of a manure from the refuse, on most occasions, a comparatively easy under- taking. The value of fish manure has been long known, and it is not at all uncommon for farmers to go to con- siderable expense to obtain the offal from the nearest fishing towns ; and they value highly the refuse salt, which they obtain after the pilchard season, from the curing-houses, on account of the great quantity of pot- oil it contains.—R.

Fuller's earth in the raw state, blue and yellow. Fuller's earth, blue and yellow, dried and prepared for use in the manufactm-e of woollen cloths, flannels, blan- kets, Scotch tweeds, and tartan shawls. Specimen of the spar found in the strata of the fuller's earth. All the above specimens were found and dug at the "Cockley pits " at Nutfield, Surrey. [The fuller's earth pits of Nutfield, near Reigate, are extensively worked, and supply large quantities of this substance to the clothing districts. There are two kinds, one greener than the other, owing to the presence of silicate of iron; but both exist under the same geological conditions, occurring in the lower cretaceous series, and differing little in chemical condition. Fuller's earth consists of about 45 silica, 20 alumina, and 25 water. When placed in water it almost dissolves. [Official Illustrated Catalogue.] South Side—Areas S. 1 to S. .27. and when exposed to great heat it melts. It combines readily with grease, forming a kind of earthy soap, and for this reason is valuable in the mannfacture of cloth made of animal fibre.—D. T. A.] 48 Gawkroger & Hynam, 7 Prince's Square, Finsbury—Manufacturers. Fuller's earth, and purified dried fuller's earth, from Chart Lodge, Reigate, Surrey, and Cormonger's Pits, Nutfield, Surrey. [Fuller's earth, and its localities in England, are above described. The following is the mode of purifying and preparing the raw material for use:—■ The fuller's earth, after it comes from the pit, is baked or dried by exposure to the sun, and then thrown into cold water, where it falls into a powder, and the finer parts are separated from the coarser by a method of wash- ing in several tubs, through whichthe water is conducted, and where it deposits the different kinds in succession. These are used for different kinds of cloth, the coarser part for the inferior and the fine for the better kinds of cloth. The soapy combinations formed by fuller's earth with the greasy portions of cloth during the process of fulling, are supposed to serve the purpose of mordants in some measure,—D. T, A.] 49 Wilson, Sir Thomas Maryon, Charlton, Kent— Producer. Sands and loams for casting, from Charlton, next Wool- wich; sands used for glass and house purposes from Hampstead. 50 Rock, James, jun., Hastings—Producer. Lignite found in the summit tunnel of the Hastings and Ashford railway, 1-^ miles to the JST.N.E, of Hastings, about 90 feet from the surface, and 300 feet above the sea level. The strata dip from N.W, to S.E. at an angle of about 65 degrees. Clinker, containing a considerable quantity of iron, from an ancient cinder-bank on the property of Hercules Sharpe, Esq,, Sedlescomb, Sussex. Claystone, said to contain oxide of chromium. Fine white sand, from Hastings cliffs. [The lignite of the Hastings sand formation, near Hastings, has been long known, and corresponds in every particular with the lignites from Tilgate Forest, It occurs in nearly horizontal bands, thinning out into a mere film, and the largest masses do not exceed a few inches in thickness. It is very brittle, and burns with a bright flame; resembles jet, and contains included frag- ments of ligneous character. It is not unlike the Bovey coal. Ironstone was formerly extracted from some of the ferruginous sands of the Wealden, either in irregular concretions, hard, compact, and of steel-grey colour inside, or laminated, and often concentric. In some places it is of excellent quality, and when the country was covered with forest was much used in the manufacture of charcoal iron,—D. T. A,] 51 Ross, Thomas, Claremont, Hastings—Producer.

It occurs at Wainlode Cliff, Coombe Hill, near Gloucester, Westbury-on-Severn, Somersetshire, and Wales, [All the above specimens, except the first, are from the lias, a deposit of calcareous clay widely distributed in the west of England, and ranging from the coast of Dor- setshire, at Lyme Regis, to the coast of Yorkshire, at Whitby, The upper and lower beds are often shaly, and yield materials for the manufacture of alum and other substances. The middle portion is more calcareous, and includes some bands of compact limestone. Where the carbonate of lime forms into nodules somewhat argilla- ceous, there are found septaria well adapted to the making of cement. In many places, the iron disseminated through the clay has collected into bands of impure iron- stone, which, however, is not likely to come into successful competition with other ores. The bone-bed may, if the expenses of transport be inconsiderable, be worth working as a cheap and effective mineral manure.—D, T. A.] 55 RiDDELL, Sir James Miles, Bart., Strontian— Proprietor.

Lias limestone; from the north side of the promontory of Ardnamurchan. Lias limestone, from the south side of the promontory. A large mass of sulphate of barytes, a substance consti- tuting much of the matrix or veinstone of lead ore. [At Strontian, in the western part of Argyllshire, a boss of granite is seen penetrating the gneiss, which abounds in the district; and a little further to the west, a large quantity of porphyry and trap occurs, covered, in two or three places near Ardnamurchan, by deposits of the oolitic and liassic period. In the granite, and near its junction with the gneiss, mineral veins are found, containing lead and copper; and in one of these was first obseiwed the mineral thence called strontianite, or strontites, a carbonate of strontia, usually associated with calc-spar, sulphate of barytes, and galena. The metal called stnMticm, obtained from this mineral, was first described by Sir H. Davy, and resembles barium in its properties and appearance. Car- bonate of strontia is chiefly used in the prodviction of the nitrate v/hich is employed in giving a red colour to fireworks, Harmotome and morvenite are hydrous silicates of alumina and barytes. Brewsterite is also a hydrous sili- cate of alumina, but contains strontia as well as barytes. The other minerals are well known. The lias is one of several small patches round the trap rocks of Ardnamur- chan, Morven, and the Isle of Mull, and contains numerous organic remains.—D. T. A.] 56 Dann, Thomas, Reigate—Producer.

Large-grained bay salt, used for various purposes. [The salt-mines of Cheshire are worked in the new red sandstone of that county, the salt being in large masses of irregular form associated with marl and gypsum. In its natural state it is of dull red colour, semi-trans- parent, and though sometimes cubical in crystal, more usually massive. The number of saliferous beds in the district is five, the thinnest of them being 6 inches, but the thickest nearly 40 feet thick, and they are worked at a depth of from 50 to 150 yards below the surface. The mode of working the thick bed is not much unlike that adopted in South Staffordshire for coal; but the roof being generally uniform and tolerably tough, and the mine without noxious gases, the works are more simple. The salt is blasted, and large pillars are left to support the roof. Upwards of 60,000 tons of salt are ob- tained from the Cheshire mines, and a large quantity is also manufactured from brine-springs and other similar sources, in Cheshire and Worcestershire. The greater part is exported from Liverpool.—D. T. A,] 58 Hill, John, Ringsend, Dublin—Manufacturer. Basket and pink salt for table use; Irish fine, or butter salt, and coarse or provision salt.

Specimens of black lead from Cumberland, in the raw state, and as hardened for wbq. Specimens of other minerals. [The Cumberland graphite is obtained from a large and very irregular vein cutting through the green slate and porphyry; and the mineral occurs in large lumps, found here and there expanding and thinning out with no appa- rent order. About 50 years ago, one of the largest masses ever discovered was suddenly met with, and yielded about 70,000 lbs. of the purer kind of black lead. Since then there has been nothing found of any value. The mines are near the head of Borrowdale, the entrance being about 1,000 feet above the sea, and as much below the summit of the mountain.—D. T. A.] 65 Brockedon, W., 29 Devonshire Street, Queen Square ■—Patentee and Manufacturer. Native plumbago:—Samples fi-om the mines of Borrow- dale in Cumberland, fine and crude: from Ceylon, Davis' Straits, Spain, Bohemia (called Mexican), Greenland, California, France (Poligny): nodules from India, &c. Samples of Cumberland black lead, prepared for con- densing into blocks by patent process. Specimens in powder, purified from grit, and in fine powder, ready for condensing, which has passed through apertures g^jij^,, th of an inch in diameter. Blocks which bave been condensed by a pressure of 5,000 tons. Slices of the blocks for pencil-makers ; points for Mordan's ever-pointed pencils; cedar pencils, by various makers, of Brockedon's patent Cumberland lead. Blocks made of Ceylon and other plumbagos, &c. The plumbagos exhibited in their natiiral state, are— Three very fine samples of the old black-lead, formerly found in Cumberland. The only native plumbago which could be cut into slices, and used in its natural state; the miners have long failed to supply such specimens. Two samples of Cumberland lead, containing too much grit to be used without purification. Samples of plumbago from Ceylon, crystalline and fibrous: this is the purest plum- bago known, being 98'55 pure carbon; but it is too fragile for use in cedar. Two samples from Davis's Straits and Greenland. One from California. Others from Spain and Bohemia (called Mexican), of these two the common pencils are made, when hardened by sul- phur. From none of these can a fine pencil be made, but the Cumberland. The manufactured blocks are from the second variety of the Cumberland, freed from grit, and reduced to an impalpable powder, of which a quantity is shown to form one of the blocks. From this powder the air is exhausted, when it is condensed in a dry state by an enormous pressure, which consolidates a mass weighing seven ounces under a force, in two blows, with a force of 5,000 tons, leaving it as compact as the natural; and from these blocks slices are cut, as shown: these are inserted in channels in the cedar. It is also cut into the lengths of the block as square threads; these are rounded, then cut to the proper lengths for the ever-pointed pencils. For the process by which the Cumberland lead can be freed from grit, and then solidified, the exhibitor obtained a patent, and pencil manufacturers use it only for their finest drawing pencils. [Graphite or Plumbago, a form of carbon commonly called black-lead, and sometimes, but incorrectly, regarded as a carburet of iron, is a well-known soft minei'al, crys- tallized in small hexagonal plates of laminated structure, infusible, burning with great difficulty under the blowpipe; consisting of from 85 to 98-55 per cent, of carbon, and having a specific gravity of 2-09 to 2-25; the purest being the lightest. It is found in metamorphic, generally in schistose, rocks, of various geological age, in masses or veins parallel to the lamination or stratification. The pure and valuable kinds are very rare, and have been ob- tained almost exclusively from the localities raentioned above. The variety from Ceylon is remarkably pure but soft; that from Greenland is also pure, but very hard. The latter, according to an analysis recently made by T. H. Henry, Esq., yields carbon 96'6, ash 3'4; but does not seem adapted for extensive use in pencil-making, owing to its hardness and paleness. It appears that the presence of a certain quantity of iron is favourable for its use in the arts. The method by which Mr. Brockedon has rendered several of the softer and less compact graphites available, and has also brought into use the fragments formerly too small for pencils, has been successfully applied to other materials for various useful purposes.—D.

In the neigh- bourhood of Northwich are to be found the only mines of rock salt in England, numbering altogether about twenty distinct quarries. Rock salt has been an article of trade in this neighbourhood since the year 1670 ; it was then carried on the backs of horses to the nearest point of embarkation. Now the exports to foreign countries alone, are about 70,000 tons. The total con- sumption being about 100,000 tons. The rock salt is found from 45 to 50 yards below the surface, the inter- vening layers being composed of soil, gravel, quicksand, clay, marl, gypsum, &c. The first bed of rock salt is about 25 yards in thickness, but inferior in quality ; un- derneath this, is a bed or stratum of stone or indurated clay, blue and brown, about 10 yards in thickness ; below this is the second great formation, which is also about 25 yards in thickness ; the lower five yards of which is the only portion excavated, the greater mass being very impure. That within five yards, however, contains but few impurities, and is readily dissolved into brine, from which is manufactured the piurest and best of salt. The above specimen is not selected as a rare and pure block, but as a fair representation of the bulk of what is obtained from the mine. 73 Claxton, J.—Producer. Sands from Alum Bay, Isle of Wight, 74 Squire, John & William, Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, Hampshire—Producers. Specimen of pure white sand, used in the manufacture of best flint glass, taken from horizontal and vertical beds in the cliffs in Alum Bay, near the Needles, on the estate of William George Ward, Esq, It is exported from Tam- worth, and is extensively used by glass-makers, for its silicious properties. [The geological position of these beds of sand is at the base of the tertiary series, as exhibited in the British Islands, corresponding with the white and other sands at Woolwich, and the lignites and plastic clays of Paris, The thickness of this part of the series at Alum Bay is very remarkable ; and the sands being nearly free from iron and alkaline earths, are well adapted for glass- making,—D, T. A,] 75 Collinson, Charles, Mansfield—Vro^viQtov. Red casting sand, found only at Mansfield, and of value in the production of fine castings.

Nos, 19 to 28.—Building-stone, of various qualities of limestone and grit, from quarries at Limerick, and at various points along the Shannon. No, 23 yields the hydraulic lime, now used in building the new docks at Limerick, No. 59 is a stone adapted for inside staircases, and not readily soiled. These stones are suitable either for marble or building stone. No, 29,—Iron-stone; No, 30, iron nodule; and No, 31 bituminous coal, from county Leitrim. No, 32, anthra- cite coal. The iron ore and coal, Nos. 33, 34, 35, are found in the same district on the verge of the Shannon, near its source, whence a steam navigation extends to Limerick. Limestone, suitable for flux in smelting, as well as moulding sand, fire-clay, fire-stone, &c., are found in the same locality. The iron-stone is productive, nearly equalling the black band ore of Glasgow, and exceeding the Staffordshire and Welsh ores; the richest giving 61 per cent, of iron. The coal (No. 35) produces | parts of good coke, and is useful for illuminating purposes. An- thracite coal (No, 36) is found in Tipperary, Limerick, Kerry, and Clare, where extensive coal fields exist; but owing to the abundance of peat fuel in the district, they remain unworked, except for local purposes, such as burning lime, drying corn, &c, Nos, 37, 38.—Turf, heavy and light, found in abund- ance, and chiefly used for domestic purposes. No. 39,—Gypsum, obtained on the shores of Lough Allen, at the head of the Shannon, near the coal and iron mines, county Leitrim. No. 40,—Fire-clay, This clay is found of excellent quality, and equal to the Stourbridge clay, formerly im- ported into Limerick. Nos, 41, 42,—Moulding sand; the same, prepared for use. These sands are used in the Limerick foundries, Nos, 43, 44,—Building sands; dredged out of the bed of the river at Limerick, and requiring no screening or washing previous to use. No. 45,—Plaster sand; dug in pits near Limerick. No. 46,—Lime; produced from the building stones of the locality, which are found in abundance throughout the whole length of the river. [The coal worked near Limerick is from a number of small basins or troughs, ranges of hills running east and west, and the strata dipping on either side often at high angles. The coal is all anthracitic, and there appear to be six distinct seams, three of them however yielding the principal supply. The iron-stone of Ireland is gene- rally rich, some of it especially, averaging as much as 40 per cent, of iron in the natural state. The fire-clays from beds alternating with the coal, and others in the counties of Clare and Tipperary, afford admirable material for crucibles, and replace Stourbridge clay for various pur- poses,—D, T, A,] No, 47.—Flags.

Silica. This silica is suitable for pottery purposes. [Shell-marl, such as alluded to in the above list, is usually the remains of the deposits formed by the ancient pleistocene sea. The organic remains which give rich- ness to this marl, and enhance its value for agricultural purposes, are remarkable for being of an arctic character. They appear to indicate the ancient extension of an icy sea like that of Greenland over the greater part of the British Isles during the geological epoch immediately preceding the present era.—E.

Specimens of sands, from various parts of Cornwall, used for agricultural and building purposes: the agricul- tural sands from Gwithian, Falmouth harbour, and Perran Porth; the others used for building purposes. [A very large quantity of fine white calcareous sand, consisting chiefly of minute fragments of shells, and containing much animal matter and some salt, is annually removed from the coast of Cornwall, in some places, to the interior, and used for agricultural purposes, for which it is well adapted. It has been estimated that as much as from six to eight millions of cubic feet of sand are annually thus removed.—D. T. A.] 80 Flatheb & Haden, 1 Castle Mills, and 2 Broad Lane, Shcffieli—Producers. Prepared Trent sand, or wharpe, used for buffing tip, or bringing to a surface, German silver, Britannia metal, brass, copper, &c. Prepared Welsh rothen-stone, used for producing the fine polish on silver, Britannia metal goods, &c. ; when mixed with one-sixth its weight of rape or sweet oil, it forms the polishing paste used for cleaning Britannia metal, brasses, tin ware, and other bright metal goods. [Most substances employed under the name of rotten- stone, or Tripoli, ' are essentially composed of silica in a peculiar state of subdivision, the actual particles of which the whole is made up being* crystalline, but the mass earthy, and often reduced by compression to a solid state, having a slaty fracture. In most cases, the origin may be traced to the remains of infusorial animalcules, and occa- sionally the presence of carbon, and a little resinous organic matter which shows this still more clearly. The name Tripoli is generally understood to apply to all the earthy varieties (of which there are several) in which silica exists nearly pure, bu-t in a very minute state of subdivision. Rotten-stone is limited to those which are light and friable, and of very fine grain. It occurs rather abundantly near Bakewell, in Derbyshire, amongst the carboniferous limestones, but is often met with in other rocks.—D. T. A.] Prepared lime, used for producing the bi-ight black polish upon German silver, electro-plated, and silver goods. 81 Solomon, Thomas, Truro—Producer.

Multiplying hand-frame for circular grindstones; oil- stones and polishing stones on Mr. Eden M^Donall's principle. Multiplying hand-lrame, with horizontal movement. [Grit stones or grinding stones are, all of them, varieties of sandstone; their abrading or polishing powers depending upon the degree of hardness of the stone; the size of the particles constituting the mass, and the silicious charac- ter of the stone. The Bohemian stones have long been imported from Germany, and used by jewellers for polish- ing small works, such as the settings around gems. These stones are fine and silicious, and for small work cut well, and keep a good point.—R. H. This large and important series of grindstones includes almost every kind used for manufacturing purposes in London, and obtained for various parts of the world. The qualities of the stones, their relative excellence, and their respective uses will be easily understood by a care- ful examination of the series.—D. T. A.] 85 Snow, W. P.—Producer.

South Side—Aeeas S. 1 to S. 27. [The well-known Stourbridge fire-clay consists of a material of considerable purity, existing in beds under- lying coal in the' coal-measures of the district. Similar beds of fire-clay, though rarely so good, occur elsewhere, and are extensively worked; but none have attained a reputation equal to that of Stourbridge in the manufac- ture of retorts and other fire-clay goods which have to sustain long-continued and intense heat. The chief ex- cellence consists in the absence of iron and of alkaline earths (which would produce fusion of the clay), and a certain amount of porosity admitting of a little expansion and contraction. In the raw goods, the quality is not seen, but in those that have been fired, paleness of colour and the absence of cracks are considered good marks of excellence.—D. T. A.] 92 Jenkins & Beer, Truro—Producers.

Specimens of Cornish china-stone, exhibiting its natural fracture: raised in the Great Bodilla china-stone quarries, St. Stephen's, Cornwall, and largely used in the potteries for the manufacture of the finer descrip- tions of china and earthenware. [China-stone and china-clay, both of which are most extensively used in the potteries, are produced in the neighbourhood of the great granite ranges of Cornwall and Devonshire: in the former county chiefly from the St. Austell granite, and also from Tregorming Hill to the south of Helstone, and from the southern granite of Dartmoor in the latter county. The decomposed granite of St. Stephen's, and the uses to which it and the clay produced from it could be applied, were discovered in 1768 by Cookworthy of Plymouth, who was the first person who made hard porcelain in this kingdom. To this discovery is due entirely the manufacture of porcelain, similar to that of china. The composition of this kaolin, or porcelain clay, varies in difierent localities, the average of the best Cornish clay giving an analysis—alumina, 24'6; silica, 44*30; lime, magnesia, and potash, 1-60; water, 8'74, The pure kaolin of Dartmoor being, alumina, 36"81; silica, 44*25; lime, magnesia, and potash, 2*20; water, ]2'7, With the increase of our porcelain and fine earthen- ware manufacture, the demand for these clays has largely increased; and to this must be added a large trade in the china-stone itself, which is used principally for glazing fine ware, the ordinary glaze bemg composed of decomposed granite, lime, flint, litharge, and borax. A large quantity of this clay of an inferior quality is used by the paper-makers and calico-dressers, for the purpose of giving weight and body to their fabrics. Men, women, and children are largely employed on these clay-works, which, when the clay is being clressed present a scene of active and curious industry.-^E.

The china-clay of Devonshire possesses much interest, not only by its excellent quality, but also as the material from which Mr. Cookworthy, the first manu- facturer of porcelain in England, probably obtained his material. The process of purifying china-clay is at present simply mechanical, but is capable of much improvement, and the coarse parts of the clay are well adapted to the manufacture of brick of various kinds. The china-clay is obtained from the decomposition of particular varieties of granite,—D. T. A,] 10 and 11.

South Side—Areas S. 1 to S. 27. [The china-clay and china-stone used in the manufac- ture of the finer kinds of porcelain are chiefly obtained from decomposed granite; the felspar of the granite, under certain circumstances, yielding to the action of the wea- ther, and parting with its alkaline earths, and the harder, heavier, and coarser parts of the granite removed by me- chanical washing, either naturally or artificially. The purified material thus obtained is called kaolin; its specific gravity is from 2-21 to 2'26. Some of the finer kinds con- tain, when boiled for a short time in a solution of potash, about equal parts of silica and alumina, upwards of 10 per cent, water, and from 2 to 10 per cent, of free silica; the mineral being therefore represented by the formula A : S : + 2 Aq. The formula for felspar is 3 A: Si s -f K: Si 3, the potash being often replaced by soda, and the nature of the change may thus be understood. The best china-clay in England is obtained from Cornwall and Devonshire.—D. T. A.] 102 Pike, William & John, Wareham, Dorsetshire— Producers. Potters' or blue clay, from the island of Purbeck, Dor- setshire, used in British and foreign potteries. [The greater part of the best pottery produced in various parts of the world has Dorsetshire clay for its principal ingredient. Blue, or potter's clay, for making fine ware, should mix tough, be free from sand, burn a good colour, and bear a large proportion of flint.

Mayer is exhi- bited, which contains no other but china-clay.] Stoneware clay, used in the London and Bristol pot- teries for the manufacture of stoneware and drain pipes. Pipe clay, for the manufacture of tobacco pipes. Alum clay, for the manufacture of alum. [A considerable quantity of clay fit for ordinary potters' work, and for the rnanufacture of tobacco-pipes, besides some alum schist, is obtained in the small peninsula called the isle of Purbeck, on the Dorsetshire coast. This little tract of land contains a curious series of cretaceous, "Weal- den, and oolitic deposits; among the latter is the Kim- meridge coal elsewhere described, and above the whole series are clays of the Hampshire basin, in the manufac- ture of which the coal is used. These plastic clays belong to the lowest tertiary deposits.—D, T, A.] 103 West of England China Stone & Clay Company, St. Austell, Cornwall — Producer, Specimens of china-stone and clay in the different stages of the process to which it is subjected prior to its being sent to the potteries and bleaching manufactories in various parts of the old and new world. They are obtained from the most extensive and ancient china-stone quarries and fallow clay beds in Cornwall. The Company holds the exclusive right of working over 3,000 acres of this county. These products have taken the first position in the markets hitherto, especially in Staffordshire, where they are most extensively used, and highly valued. The china-stone is exhibited in the state in which it naturally occurs; it forms the partially-decomposed gra- nitic ranges which stretch through the centre of Cornwall, where quarries are formed for the purpose of raising it: and next in the state after it has been subjected to the heat of the oven for the purpose of testing its vitrifying properties, The china-clay, or still further decomposed granite (the china-stone being, as it were, an intermediate stage), is found in large beds, where it is mixed up with the sand which formed a component part of the granite; this is termed the clay stope, of which there are one or two specimMis; by trituration with wate? the clay is sus- pended and carried off" from the sand, which is deposited in the passage of the clay water, to the pits in which it is allowed to stand, so that the suspended particles may fall to the bottom, and the supernatant liquor flow off"; the clay deposit is then placed in pans, exposed to the warmth of the sun, and bleaching power of the atmo- sphere ; when thoroughly dry, it is sent to the potteries in the state shown in the case, in large heaps of about 1 foot square: the process to which it is next subjected, that of burning, serves as the best test of its quality,—in which state there are one or two samples; and lastly, the combination of clay and stone shown in the manu- factured article, the china cards of the Company. 104 Truscott, Charles, St. Austell—Producer.

Case, containing specimens of cement stones and those producing plaster of Pai'is, as used in England for building purposes; showing the raw stone, the powder calcined and ground, and cubes of cement in a set state. There are two kinds of cement stones: of each kind, as well as the gypsums, it may be well to say a few words. 1st. Natural cement stones. These include the Sheppey stone (Kent), and the Harwich stone (Essex), which pro- duce different varieties of the cement known as Roman cement, introduced by Dr. Parker about 50 years ago. These are both from the older tertiary deposits, and so also are the Hampshire cement stones found at Christ- church, Romsey, &c., which produce the Medina ce- ment. The Whitby stone (Yorkshire), is found in the lias formation, the cement produced being known as Atkinson's cement. At Wolverhampton and in Derby- shire cement stones occur in connection with iron-stone, which imparts to them a ferruginous tint. At Weymouth (Dorsetshire) similar materials are obtained from the Kimmeridge clay, but these are not extensively used for building purposes. Other districts yield natural cement stones, but the above mentioned are those most known in commerce: they are used very largely, both as mortars and stuccoes, 2nd. Artificial cements:—Portland cement is composed of carbonate of lime and the argillaceous deposit of the Medway and other rivers. These materials produce a cement of superior quality, both as to strength and colour. A large panel on a wall, representing a Roman Doric window opening, shows the colour of this cement, and its adaptation for external stucco. In illustration of its strength as a connecting material between bricks, stone, &c., are shown:—a beam of brickwoi'k, loaded with a heavy weight, indicating the value of bond courses of brickwork in cement, and the resistance they oppose to superincumbent weight and cross strain, A beam of tiles bedded in Portland cement, adapted for flooring pur- poses. Cubes of stone connected by Portland cement, showing its adhesive power as great in stone as in brick. Bricks made of Portland cement, to test its resistance to tensile force. Blocks of Portland cement which have been subjected to hydraulic pressure, to prove its resistance to compression. Portland cement combines with gravel, rubble-stone, &c., to form excellent concrete or beton; specimens are to ha seen in parts of a block in concrete stone made at the Digue of Cherbourg, under the direc- tion of Mons. ring^nieur Reibell; size of blocks, 15ft. by 8ft. by 6ft.; weight, 45 tons; specimen two years old. Part of a block made at Dover Harbour works, under the direction of James Walker, Esq., which has been exposed during three years in an isolated position to the action of the sea and shingle. Part of a block of concrete stone, made at Alderney harbour works; composition, 1 part cement to 10 parts gravel; weight of blocks 4 to 6 tons. Part of a block of concrete stone, 2 years old; the cement was used in a liquid state. Gypsums, or sulphates of lime, are found in many parts of England, particularly Derbyshire, ISTottinghamshire, and Cumberland; and when calcined and ground they produce the material known in commerce as plaster of Paris; and in combination with alum they produce the hard artificial cements known as Keene's, Martin'S; and Parian patent cements. Keene's cement is composed of sulphate of lime and alum; the intimate chemical combi- nation of these materials effected by calcination imparts to the stuccoes made from them, extreme hardness, by which they are adapted for use in those parts of buildings whei^e strength and durability are required, such as skirtings, columns, pilasters, and mouldings of all sorts; and they are not liable to be injured by fire, vermin, &c. As specimens of Keene's cement are shovrn — a skirting moulding, worked in the common quality of Keene's cement; two pavements, of which the ground is the com- mon quality, and the inlaid borders of the finer quality; large panel on wall, second quality, adapted for painting. Specimens, showing that in combination with colours, brilliant and forcible imitations of marbles, granites, &c., may be produced, the effect being aided by gilding and inlaying; large panel on wall, and pavement, illustrating the effect of colouring in this material, and its applicability to inlaid work, after the style of Florentine mosaic, at a cost not much exceeding the price of polished vein marble. [There are three very different processes of manufacture in the case of hydraulic cements and artificial stone, the one consisting of an admixture of caustic lime (with or without magnesia) with silica in a gelatinous state, thus producing in the final result a hydrous silicate of lime; a second, consisting of sulphates of lime burnt with alum; and the other, composed entirely of silica, and forming, in fact, a kind of glass. Each class of artificial stones will be found noted in describing the objects exhibited by different per- sons. The hydrous silicates of lime, manufactured arti- ficially, consist, as noticed above, of carbonate of lime mixed with argillaceous earth, and calcined with sand or powdered flint, when the alkali, acting on the silica at a bright red heat, produces a mass which, with the sub- sequent addition of water, becomes permanently solid. -D.

Gypsum dug from the pits; calcined, and prepared for manure. Specimens of plaster of Paris, with a collection of articles in the same. [Gypsum (hydrous sulphate of lime) occurs in various ways and various places very abundantly. In a semi- crystalline form it is called alabaster, and in crystals selenite. In the same combination without water, it is called anhydrite. Most of the gypsum used in the manufacture of plaster of Paris is obtained from tertiary deposits, of w^hich enormous masses exist in the neighbourhood of Paris, especially at the heights of Montmartre. This stone con- tains above 7^ per cent, carbonate of lime, and 3 per cent, clay, which greatly improves the strength of the cement made from it. It lies between marly beds, and is of fresh- water origin; but other beds equally extensive are of the triassic series occurring with common salt, and others again in the oolites of the Alps. Large quantities of gypsum are obtained from Lincoln- shire (Newark) and also from Derbyshu^e—the best from the latter place. The gypsum, heated from 250° to 270° Faht., parts with the whole of its water, and is changed into an anhydrous sulphate. In this state it is reduced to a fine povvder, and then, on being again mixed with water, becomes warm, and rapidly solidifies. This is not the case, how- South Side—Aeeas S. 1 to S. 27. ever, if the temperature of calcination has been too high, since if it reaches 320^ the water is absorbed very slowly. The mode of calcining varies with the object required, the plaster used in constructions being less carefully burnt than that intended for fine casts. A harder and more perfect plaster than the common kind is sometimes made by adding alum during the process of calcination. This material dries more slowly, but is smoother than the ordinary plaster, and has a certain degree of trans- parency. The use of gypsum as manure depends on its supplying to certain soils lime and sulphuric acid,— D.

[The ancient Romans paid particular attention to their cements and mortars, the durability of which is attested by the remains of their walls: their renowned hydraulic cement is said to have been prepared with a mixture of volcanic sand and lime. Hydraulic cements are such as have the property of hardening under water, and are pre- pared by the calcination of argillaceous limestone, or with mixtures of lime and argillaceous earth. It appears from the acute researches of M, Vicat, that silica is an essential element in the formation of a good hydraulic cement, the setting of which he attributes to the basis, silicate of lime, passing to the state of hydrate by the ab- sorption of water; for he found that alumina and magnesia did not give to lime the property of hardening under water, although they do not prevent the process of indu- ration : he believes that the oxides of iron and manganese do not contribute in any way to the goodness of the ce- ment.—W.

[Coke is the fixed residuum obtained by burning coal in enclosed furnaces, and is generally obtained by the complete combustion of the volatile part of the coal, though large quantities are also produced by the econo- mical distillation of coal in the manufacture of common gas. Coking on a large scale is performed in sets of ovens or furnaces of peculiar form, each charged every 48 hours with from 2 to 4 tons of fresh coal. The dome of the furnaces being heated (generally by the heat left since the previous coking), the coal is lighted from the top by a wisp of straw, all the doors and vents being open, and when in a state of combustion, the draught is so continued as to produce a gradual and slow combustion of the whole mass from above downwards, the gases being consumed. The calcination lasts about 40 hours, and the coal loses 20 to 25 per cent, of weight, but gains in about the same proportion in bulk. The texture of coke is peculiar, and determines its value.] 266 Clarke, Egbert Couldwell, the Executors of, Silkstone, near Barnsley—Producers.

This tarnish, rare in most collieries, appears to be particularly abundant in that from which the above specimens are taken. It is not quite clear whether it arises from a very thin film of foreign matter deposited on its surface, or whether the mechani- cal condition of the surface itself (as in the case of mother-of-pearl) produces the appearance of iridescence, —D.

[The Newcastle coal-field is estimated to contain upwards of 360,000 acres of productive coal area in the count}^ of Durham, and nearly 150,000 in Northumberland. Of this 67,000 acres are now worked, and the average thick- ness of coal maybe regarded as 12 feet. An acre con- tains 4,840 square yards, and each cubic yard of coal is estimated to weigh a ton; so that it may be considered that the coal-field has contained more than 10,000 mil- lions of tons of coal, of which about one-eighth part is probably consumed, and the present annual consumption may be estimated at ten millions of tons, including the quantity destroyed and rendered unserviceable. The maps and sections exhibited illustrate the condi- tion of the district and the details of the coal-field. The qualities of coal are three: the common caking kinds, coarser kinds called splint coal, and cannel coal. They are all bituminous, but the proportions differ. The average quantity of gas from the caking coals is about 8,000 cubic feet per ton, the weight of coke being from 10 to 12 gv,^. The cannel coal has been much and profitably worked within the last few years, and yields a very much larger quantity of gas, amounting to 10,000 or 12,000 cubic feet the ton. The coal is worked in the Newcastle coal-field at a very great depth, exceeding in some cases 1,800 feet; and the areas worked from one set of pits are often very large, amounting to 500 or even 1,000 acres. The associated beds of the coal measures are grits and shales, and there are many slips and faults, some of them very considerable. The method of extracting the coal in the Newcastle coal-field is that called pillar-and-stall, which consists in first working a certain proportion of the coal by opening South Side—Areas S. 1 to S. 27. galleries at right angles to each other, leaving large pillars of coal to support the roof. These pillars are afterwards remoTed, and the roof allowed to sink down, forming what is technically called the goaf. Owing to the large proportion of gas present in the coal, and the fact that such gas is given off readily from a newly-fractured surface, and on mixture with atmospheric air becomes highly explosive, it is necessary to take great care of the ventilation of the mines, and this more especially when the roof is partly fallen. The method of working has therefore reference to this, and the lights employed, where any danger is supposed to exist, must also be adapted to the peculiar condition of the mine. The models showing the mode of ventilation, and the structure of the ventilating furnace used to produce a strong current of air to circulate through the mine, together with the safety lamps (invented by the late Sir Humphry Davy), will illustrate these methods. The mechanical contrivances for drawing and screening the coals (separating the dust and small coal) are also very important in the economy of the district. There are nearly 200 pits or collieries worked in the district: the number of men and boys employed is about 26,000; and the average price of the coal as shipped for London is not more than lis. per ton. The estimated quantity of coal, sold in the year 1847, was about 7,730,000 tons.—D. T.

Complete model and section of a Staffordshire coal-pit, with apparatus for preventing explosions in coal-mines, by exhausting the combustible gases, and supplying pure air in its place, and for enabling the workmen to ascer- tain in what state the air is, in the workings of the mine, before going down. [The thick coal of Staffordshire is worked in a manner altogether different from that adopted either in North- umberland or Yorkshire, as there is constant danger of accident from the fall of the roof, besides that arising from the presence of gas which necessarily accumulates in large quantities in the upper recesses of the mine. The usual mode of getting the coal is by sinking a pair of shafts at convenient distances, and extending a pair of levels from the shafts. On reaching the intended limit of working, the coal is removed on one or both sides of the levels, for a distance of about 20 yards wide; but pillars of 7 or 8 yards square are left at intervals for the support of the roof. Between each side lane of this kind a larger and more effectual barrier is left, 16 or 20 yards wide, and this is called a fire-rib, and serves not only to prevent a crush of the roof, but to allow of a dam being afterwards constructed to confine the gases. A large quantity of coal is left below by this process of mining, amounting sometimes to one-half or even two- thirds of the whole. The ventilation of the thick coal mines is generally imperfect, owing to the large body of air to be moved; but more accidents occur from falls of the roof than from explosions. The workings are gene- rally left in the care of uneducated contractors called hutty colliers.—D, T, A.] 404 Brunton, W.—Producer. Model of a plan proposed for ventilating mines, with diagrams.

Sir John Guest reported on the Arigna mines in 1804, and stated the cost of production to be as follows:— 5 tons of raw coal at 6s. 4:d. it. 1 s. 11 d. 8 4 ,, ironstone, at 65. 1 4 0 1 ,, limestone 0 4 0 Labour .... 0 10 0 Rent and other charges 1 5 4 £4 15 0 Mr. Grif&th, in his report on the Connaught coal-field, estimates the cost of a ton of iron, produced in this locality, at only 3/. 2s. 5c?. The real working cost appears, however, to be somewhat between the two. These state- ments are important, as directing attention to a very in- teresting iron-producing locality, which does not appear to have received the notice it merits.—R.

These marks are well known to the trade, and are extensively used alike for home con- sumption as for export. [The iron furnaces of the United Kingdom, in number about 450, of which 7 per cent, may be out of blast, consume annually about 10,000,000 tons of coal, and 7,000,000 tons of ironstone, in order to make 2,400,000 tons of pig-iron, which is the estimated quantity for 1851, at an average cost of 48s. or 50s. per ton, taking all qualities, from No. 1 cold blast to No. 4 hot blast, in the range. The mill power (which can if necessary be ex- tended) at present produces annually 1,000,000 tons of rails, bars, boiler-plates, hoop-iron, and the various de- scriptions of manufactured iron required for different industrial productions, for export and home consump- tion. The home consumption is an average in weight of about 1| cwt. per head for the population, and from the facility with which it is procured by every manufacturer in the United Kingdom, it affords the means of subsist- ence and profit to a larger amount of industrial hands than any other.] 412 The Ebbw Vale Company, near Abergavenny, and 83 Ujyper Thames Street—Producer.

The Coalbrook-dale field contains 32 square miles of workable coal, the average number of seams being 17, and the average thickness of the principal seams three feet. The field is much faulted, some of the dis- locations amounting to 600 or 700 feet. The coal is of the kind called slate coal, and contains from 1 to 3 per cent. ash. The percentage of carbon is 56 to 64. Very excellent iron is made from several seams of clay-iron ore interstratified with the coal, and yielding upwards of three tons of ore per square yard. The Ebbw Vale coal is brilliant, brittle, lights easily, and yields a clear fire. It is light, weighing 53f lbs. to the cube foot. It contains 89-78 carbon ; 5-15 hydrogen ; 2'16 nitro- gen ; 1-02 sulphur; 0-39 oxygen, and 1-50 ash. The coal yielding the above analysis is that known as the " Ebbw Vale 4 feet steam coal." The mine is 400 to 500 feet deep.—D. T. A.] 413 SuTCLiFFE, John Clarkson, Bamsley—Producer. Model of Honey Well Colliery, Barnsley, showing the manner in which it is worked and ventilated. [The method of working coal, adopted in the Yorkshire mines generally, is that known as the long wall, and is distinguished from the Nev/castle, or pillar-and-stall method, by extracting at once all available coal, instead of first taking a small proportion and leaving the rest in the form of pillars. The selection of the method of working should depend on the conditions of the mine; and generally the long-wall system may be considered admissible where ironstone occurs with the coal, the coal being thin or the floor and roof soft, the royalty small, the general superincumbent mass compact, and the water not very troublesome. When, however, there is much gas, where the coal is deep and the quantity to be extracted from one set of woi-kings very considerable, and the water troublesome, it cannot generally be recommended. In working the long-wall method, it is usual to put a pair of levels from the shafts, and carry drifts at once to the extremity of the intended workings; and then, re- moving the coal from the end, the roof is allowed to fall, leaving only an air-way round the outside of the fallen mass {gob), cut in the solid coal. The gob is often partly filled with the rubbish removed in getting the coal.— D. T. A.] 413 a James, John, Blaina, near Abergavenny, Wales— ' Inventor. Model of a blast furnace for smelting iron ore. [^''Smelting" is the process of reducing an ore to the state of a metal. The ore is first calcined or roasted by being burned with coal in the open air, until the water, sulphur, and carbonic acid are driven ofi"; which, if not separated before going into the furnace, would injure the quality of the iron. The roasted ore, coke for burning, and limestone for a flux, are then thrown into the fur- nace, in the proportions of 14i tons of coke, 16 of roasted ore, and 6| tons of limestone for every 7 tons of metal required. The " blast" is the stream of air thrown into the furnace by machinery, for promoting rapid combus- tion ; the pipes conveying the "blast" are called the "tuyeres," and the ends from which the air issues are called the "nose pipes," or "nozzles," Some of the large Welsh furnaces contain 150 tons of ignited material, and 20,000 cubic feet of air are forced into them per minute.—S.

Pieces of best double-fagoted railway axles, in the forged state, cut to show the mode of manufacture; and broken, to show the fibre in fracture. Pieces of best quality of railway tire-bar, in the forged state, cut to show the mode of manufacture; and broken, to show the fibre in fracture. Railway tires, and double-fagoted railway axles, best quality, and double-fagoted cart and carriage axles, in forged state, bent cold in different forms, to exhibit the toughness, soundness, and strength of the material. [As the speed of the locomotive steam-engine became developed, many results presented themselves which were South Side—Areas S. 1 to S. 27. as unlooked for by the meclianic and engineer as the speed itself had been wholly unexpected. Among these none has been the cause of more anxiety, and none perhaps of more real danger, than the change which wrought iron in axles and in the tires of wheels is found to undergo when exposed to the severe friction induced by rapid speed under heavy loads. Metal that had been deemed tough and fibrous became brittle, and broke like cast iron. The specimens of railway tires and axles exhibited, in various conditions, and showing the structure of the metal in fracture, ilkistrate a method of obviating this re- sult.—W.

Model of an apparatus for opening and closing doors in mines, by a reversion of levers, one opening, and the other closing the door, on each side of the door; whether worked by the carriage drawn by a horse, or pvxshed by a man or a boy, the action is precisely the same. The principal advantage is to keep the doors regularly closed; the doors being at present attended to by boys, who are apt to fall asleep, leaving the doors open, and allowing the air to make its escape to the upcast pit ; thus leaving the working part of the pit unventilated, and in many cases causes serious accidents. The Foxhole Colliery, where this method is in practice, has been worked from 80 to 100 years; and there has not been an explosion of gas in it for the last 22 years. 419 Thomas, John Trotter, Coleford—Producer.

The black bands of Scotland and of Haydon Bridge, the brown hoematites and white carbonates of Alston and Weardale, and the argillaceous ironstones of the lias of "Whitby and Middlesborough, are all used for the supply of the iron-works of this district. The h^own hcematites deserve especial attention. They are found associated in very large masses, with the lead veins of this district, and occasionally they occur as dis- tinct and regular beds. They contain from 20 to 40 per cent, of iron. Sometimes they exist as '^riders" to the vein, sometimes they form its entire mass, and, in this case, they occasionally attain a thickness of 20, 30, and even 50 yards. Their employment for iron-making purposes is only recent; but the supply of ore which they can fur- nish is almost unlimited, and when some better means of separating the zinc and lead associated with them shall have been discovered, they will, doubtless, be found to be of great importance. Remarkable changes sometimes occur in the character of the metalliferous veins of this district; the same vein which at one point bears prin- cipally lead ore, changing to a calamine vein, and then again to brown htematite, LANCASHIRE and WEST CUMBERLAND.

In Out 3 0 Co., near Ft, lT Blast Furnaces, The production of iron in this district is very limited, being confined to the Cleator woi-ks, and one or two small charcoal works in the Ulverstone district. The quality of the latter, charcoal being used for fuel, is very superior, and the produce commands the highest prices, as it combines, with the fluidity of cast-iron, a certain malleability, especially after careful annealing. The iron of the Cleator Works is smelted with coal, and though, in consequence, not equal to the other, is yet of superior quality. The ore, both of the Whitehaven and the Ul- verstone and Furness districts, is raised most extensively for shipment to the iron works of Yorkshire, Staffordshire, and North and South Wales. In quality, these ores be considered as the finest in this kingdom, and the supplies which these districts are calculated to produce are very great.

They are found, both as veins traversing the beds of the moun- tain limestone formation, transversely to the lines of stratification, and also as beds more or less regular. The former is the general character of the Ulverstone and Furness ores, no clearly defined bed being, as yet, known in that district, whilst at Whitehaven there are two, if not more beds of irregular thickness, but with clearly defined floors and roofs, and oftentimes subdivided by regular partings. These beds attain a considerable thick- ness, occasionally 20 or 30 feet. The area over which they extend is not as yet well known; but they have been worked extensively for many years, and the workings upon them are rapidly increasing.

The ores of the Forest of Dean are carboniferous, or moun- tain limestone ores, lying beneath the coal measures, which are not here productive in argillaceous ironstones as in the other principal coal-fields of the kingdom. Be- sides the limestone ore, there is a bed of ore in the mill- stone grit measures; but which is only worked very locally. The limestone ore occupies a regular position in the limestone measures, although in itself exceedingly irregular, assuming rather the character of a series of chambers than a regular bed. These chambers are some- times of great extent, and contain many thousand tons of ore, which is generally raised at an exceedingly low cost, no timbering or other supports for the roof being required. The supply of ore producible in the Forest of Dean is almost unlimited. The iron made from it is of a red short nature, and especially celebrated for the manufac- ture of tin plates. Its superior quality always commands a high price. This ore is raised extensively for shipment to the iron-works of South Wales. It was worked at a very ancient date either by the Romans or the Britons, as is evident from the remains of old workings along the outcrop of the ore bed. This ore averages from 30 to 40 per cent.

Various stages of the process of copper smelting, as practised at Redjacket Works, according to the exhibitors' patent process. [This process is as follows:—Copper pyrites reduced to a fine state of division are roasted at a moderate tempe- rature : the result is, that the sulphur of the ore com- bines with the oxygen of the air, and thus becomes con- verted into sulphuric acid. The copper is also oxidized; and the acid combining with it, a sulphate of oxide of copper is produced. A second roasting, with an addi- tion of rich sulphur ore, converts all the metal into this salt. It is now dissolved in water, and the copper pre- cipitated by iron. It has been found that the copper thus prepared is of remarkable purity.—R.

Specimens of charred coal and tin plates manufactured from the same; this charred coal is stated to be prepared by a process which deprives it entirely of sulphur, and gives it a peculiar mechanical structure, making it as light and pure as wood charcoal, and entirely super- seding the necessity of wood charcoal for refining or smelting iron. A complete set of tools used in mining, and plans, showing the application of electricity to blasting in mines. In a paper accompanying these, the exhibitor states:—• It has been often noticed, that, since the application of gunpowder for blasting, few if any improvements have been made in the methods adopted for cutting through hard rocks; and the great exi^ense of main- taining engine power for pumping and winding during the long period required to sink shafts through such rocks has been and is still the sole cause of some of the best and richest tracts of minerals in Great Britain lying idle and unproductive, and has been the principal cause of the loss of life, so serious and often occurring from explosions in mines. The improvements, or rather the new system, now introduced will be better understood, after a review of the methods and tools heretofore used. The oldest method of pumping or taking up the water from the bottom of the shaft during sinking; was the N 2 South Side—Areas S. 1 to S. 27. Hogar pipe; this was about four feet in length, made of leather, and stiffened by rings of metal; the constant damage this was liable to in blasting caused it to be almost abandoned, and in its place the stock and slide pipe was introduced. This consists of two cast-iron pipes sliding into each other as a telescope, and kept tight in the joint by a stuffing-box: this contrivance is not only expensive in first cost, bvit liable to breakage and heavy to handle. Both these modes of pumping are subject to a still greater defect; the pump can only be made nearly under the pump trees, so that during a long time of the sinking it often occurs that only two or three men can be effectually employed in the shaft: this, in some of the large shafts (say, in a common size used in South Wales, 18 feet by 10 feet) causes serious delay to the progress of the work. In boring, it has been customary to use a borer, the body of which was made of wrought iron, and the bit or end of the borer of shear steel welded on to the iron. No attempt ajjpears ever to have been made to fix any definite proportion between the size of the stock or handle and the breadth of the bit; and from this cause a very great portion of the power of the striker has been uselessly expended. The use of cast-steel borers is, in some respects, en- tirely new as applied to mining, and by the superior hardness of cast steel as compared with shear steel, greatly expedite the process of boring, and save expense; they have also an advantage in transmitting the force of the hammer to the bit, on account of their stiffness or rigidity; and, further, to pi'event loss of power, it is of importance that the bit should be so proportioned to the handle or stock as to work freely in the bore-hole, and, at the same time, spring or bend as little as possible under the blow of the hammer. The following propor- tions appear to answer these conditions:— Diameter of Octagon Cast Steel. 1 inch n „ H „ ■••5 }> -t I -■^2 >) Breadth of Face of Bit. 1^ inch If 2 „ U „ The suction-pipe now used by the exhibitor is about 20 feet in length, is made of gutta percha, and supersedes the iise of the leather Hogar, and stock and slide; it is not liable to accident, and can be repaired easily; it enables the pump-hole to be made in any part of the shaft, and a greater number of men to work in the shaft at one time. The introduction of electricity as the power for blasting in connection with the improvements before explained, may be said to constitute a new era in the history of mining. The apparatus at present used for blasting is a Grove's battery of six inches square: this is placed in some con- venient position near the top of the shaft; two copper wires, coated with gutta percha, are carried down the shaft, and these are connected to other wires inserted in a small cartridge which is placed in the charge of powder for blasting; the cartridges are formed thus— e, f, are two thin copper wires covered with gutta percha, and twisted together at g, g, to any length required, ac- cording to the depth of the hole; 6 is a piece of wood placed to separate the wires to the distance of about fgths of an inch apart, so that the fine platinum wire in- serted and soldered into the copper at a shall not be liable to be broken in tamping, or otherwise injured; and further to guard against this, a thin case or tube of pine Fig. 1. wood is tied over the wire and distance piece of wood at c, d, and the platinum wire covered with fine powder, the end of the tube secured at h by paper covering, and the whole case varnished over with a solution of shellac in naphtha. This plan of preparing the cartindge is found by experience very certain and effective ; but many other modes can be easily used to obtain the same end. Fig. 2. Let fig. 1. be the section, and fig. 2, the plan of a shaft in course of sinking. Let d, d, d, d, be the wires leading to the electric battery, then at a, a, a, is shown the manner in which the holes are placed to first penetrate a stream of rock (or ''enter it" as termed by miners); where one hole only can be fired, the difficulty and delay of entering South Side—Areas S. 1 to S. 27. very hard rock is often serious, and a work of great cost and time. By the method now used three or more holes are bored as shown at a, a, a, and all fired at the same instant of time from the electric battery: the effect of this is to lift up and separate the entire rock contained in the space between a, a, a; after this as many holes as are re- quired are bored in the position shown at b, h, b, b, and simultaneously exploded; the effect of this is to rend the rock from the side of the shaft in masses weighing tons each; three or four holes if well placed when fired simul- taneovisly produce more effect than double the number of holes would do if fired separately. Perfect safety from accident to the miners while blasting is secured; and it is not necessary for any workman to leave the bottom of the shaft until the arrangements for firing are completed, and the power of the battery to produce the blast tested, [The Abercarn stone, worked in the coal-grit of Mon- mouthshire, has an argillo-silicious cement, and is rather micaceous.

[ISTear this is placed a model of the dressing floors, in one of the mines of the Duchy of Cornwall, in which will be found illustrations of the mode of washing, &c. The tin ores containing arsenic and sulphur are submitted to a roasting process to expel these, and such as contain wolfram are treated by some chemical method, such as that devised by Mr. Oxland, and elsewhere de- scribed. The tin ores are then submitted to the smelting process, as shown in this model, a portion of carbon being employed to prevent the oxidation of the metal.—R, H.] 441 LoNGMAiD, William, London—Manufacturer.

[The following is a simple explanation of the essential details of this process:— Copper pyrites (the double sulphuret of copper and iron) is combined with salt (chloride of sodium), and roasted at a certain moderate temperature. By this, a double de- composition is effected. Sulphate of soda is produced by the combination of the sulphur of the ore with oxygen, to form, first, sulphuric acid, which then unites with the soda of the chloride of sodiiim. The copper is also converted into a soluble sulphate, the iron being left in a state of peroxidation, and the chlorine liberated, which is employed in the manufacture of bleaching powder.—R.

[The county of Cornwall is the most important mineral district of the United Kingdom, for the number of its metalliferous minerals, many of which are not found in any other part of our islands. At a very early period of our history, mines were worked around the sea-coasts of Cornwall, of which the evidences are still to be seen at Tol-pedden-Penwith, near the Land's End; in Gwennap, near Truro; and at Cadgwith, near the Lizard Point. The traditionary statements that the Phoenicians traded for tin with the Britons in Cornwall, are very fairly supported by corroborative facts; and it is not impro- bable that the Ictes, or Iktis, of the ancients was St. Michael's Mount, near Penzance, In the reign of King John, the mines of the western portion of England appear to have been principally in the hands of the Jews. The modes of working must have been very crude, and their metallurgical processes exceed- ingly rough. From time to time the remains of furnaces, called Jews' houses, have been discovered, and small South Side—Areas S. 1 to S. 27. blocks of tin, known as Jews tin, have not unfrequently been found in the mining localities. Till a comparatively recent date, tin was the only metal which was sought for; and, in many cases, the mines were abandoned when the miners came to the " yellows," that is, the yellow sulphuret of copper. The greatest quantity of tin has been produced by streaming" (as washing the debris in the valleys is termed); and this variety, called '' stream tin," produces the highest price in the market. The conditions under which these deposits occur, are curious and instructive. At the Carnon Tin Stream Works, north of Falmouth, the rounded pebbles of tin are found at a depth of about 50 feet from the surface, beneath the bottom of an estuary, where trees are dis- covered in their place of growth, together with human skulls, and the remains of deer, amidst the vegetable accu- mulations which immediately cover the stanniferous beds. According to Mr. Kenwood's measurement, the section presents first about 50 feet of silt and gravel; then a bed of 18 inches in thickness of wood, leaves, nuts, &c,, resting on the tin ground, composed of the debris of quartz, slate, and granite, and the tin ore. At the Pen- tuan Works, near St. Austell, similar deposits occur, proving a material alteration in the level during the period expended in the formation of this deposit. Tin is also worked out of the lode in many parts, the ore occurring both in the slate and the granite formations. The modes of dressing" the tin ore, preparing it for the smelter, and the processes of smelting, are illustrated in the Exhibition. There has been a remarkable uniformity in the quantity of tin produced in Cornwall during a long period, as will be seen from the following table:— Price per Cvvt. Years. Tons. s. 1750 1,600 1760 1,800 1770 2,000 1780 1,800 3 0 1790 2,000 3 15 1800 1,500 5 0 1810 1,400 7 0 1820 1,700 3 5 1830 3,500 3 0 1840 5,000 3 15 The produce of this metal within the last few years has been as follows:— Years.

This is not correct, for in 1250, a copper mine was worked near Keswick, in Cumberland. Edward III. granted an indenture to John Ballanter and Walter Bolbolter, for working all ''mines of gold, silver, and copper:" but that the quantity found was very small is proved from the fact, that Acts of Parliament were passed in the reigns of Henry VIII. and Edward VL, to prevent the exportation of brass and copper, " lest there should not be metal enough left in the kingdom fit for making guns and other engines of war, and for house- hold utensils:" and in 1665, the calamine works are encouraged by the Government, as "the continuing these works in England will occasion plenty of rough copper to be brought in." At the end of the seventeenth century, some "gentlemen from Bristol made it their business to inspect the Cornish mines, and bought the copper for two pounds ten shillings per ton, and scarce ever more than four pounds a ton." In 1700, one Mr. John Costar introduced an hydraulic engine into Cornwall, by which he succeeded in draining the mines, and "he taught the people of Cornwall also a better way of assaying a,nd dressing the ore." The value and importance of the copper mines since that period has been regularly increasing. During a term of about 30 years, 220 mines have sold their ores at the public sales. The following table, from a report by Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., M.P., represents the progress of copper mining, from 1771 to 1837:— Years. Tons of Ore.

The first steam-engine employed in the county was set to work at Huel Vor Tin Mine, near Hel- stone, in 1713, by Newcomen; but it was not imtil the reconstruction of the engine was effected by Watt, that steam power was generally employed for draining the mines. The rapid advance made by Cornish engineers in the perfection of their engines will be seen by the follow- ing return of the duty, that is, the performance of each, which is reckoned by the number of millions of pounds lifted a foot high by the consumption of a bushel of coals:— Name of Mine.

The number of individuals employed in 59 Cornish copper mines, was computed by Sir Charles Lemon, in 1837, to be— Men .... 10,624 Women . . . 3,802 Children . . . 8,490 The men alone work underground; the women and children are employed on the surface, picking and dressing the ore. Mr.W. J.

Articles, illustrating tin, from various Cornish mines (supplied by George ISTicolls Simmons, Mr, Hemy Bor- row, of Truro; Capt, Webb, of St. Austell; Capt. Evans, of St. Agnes; Mr. J. N. R. Millett, of Penzance; and other gentlemen, from Great Beam Mine, near St, Austell, Budnick Mine, in Perranzabulal, Rocks Mine, in St. Agnes, Friendly Mines, in St. Agnes; Mineral Court Mine, in St, Stephen's, and from various mines in the Penzance district), exhibiting the ore in its various stages until it leaves the miner's hands as black-grain tin. A block of white tin very free from impurity, the produce of Mineral Court Mine, supplied by the shareholders, and a rude smelted block of tin supplied by Mr. G. N. Simmons, found in Ladock, near Truro, and supposed to have been smelted when the Phoenicians traded to Cornwall for tin. [Tin appears to have been raised in Cornwall from a very early period. Traditionary evidence, supported by strong corroborative facts, appears to prove that the kingdoms around the Mediterranean Sea were supplied with tin from Cornwall by the Phoenician merchants at a very early date. The circumstance of this metal being found in the beds of streams, and in deposits at the base of the primary rocks, from which it could be obtained without much labour, may have been the cause of its being early known to the Britons. The oxide of tin is usually found deposited in beds in water-worn pebbles, and mixed with the debris of the neighbouring hills. There can be but little doubt that these tin deposits are the result of the disintegrating action of the atmospheric causes and of water; some of the tin beds, 30 or 50 feet from the present surface, con- tain vegetable matter, as branches of trees, and large logs of wood; and at Carnon stream works, human skulls were discovered amidst the debris, 53 feet below the surface. Tin is also found in the lode, either as peroxide, cupreous-sulphuret of tin, or tin pyrites, the analysis of the peroxide giving—peroxide of tin, 96-265; silica, 0-750; peroxide of iron and manganese, 3-395. Many indications of early tin-mining are to be found in Cornwall, as stated in a preceding note. For many centuries the Dukes of Cornwall drew a large revenue from its tin. The tin when smelted into blocks was forwarded to the nearest coinage town, there to be stamped by the Duchy officers, who cut a piece off" the corner of each block, which was retained as the Duchy's dues. In 1337, Edward the Black Prince was created Duke of Cornwall, and then the average profit of the coinage was 4,000 marks per annum. In 1814, tho revenues to the Duchy from tin was about 8,500^,, and tlio average tin revenue from 1820, to the abolition of the coinages in October, 1838, has been estimated at 12,000/., per annum. In 1750, about 2,000 tons of tin were pro- duced in Cornwall, and in 1838, about 5,000; since that period the quantity cannot be accurately ascertained, the trade in tin being in the hands of a few, and the purchases of ore being usually made by private contract.—R, H.] South Side—Aeeas S. 1 to S. 27. 469 Local Committee, St. Austell—Collector.

Specimens of lead ores and associated minerals, with examples of the various stages of progress, from their being excavated in the mine and carried through the sevei'al departments of v^ashing and smelting, until fm*- nished and ready for the market in the form of a cake of silver, and a pig, or piece of lead,known as W. B. Lead. The specimens of minerals usually associated with lead ores are collected from various mines, and are fitted together in a separate case, under the direction of the exhibitor, by Messrs. Cain and Wallace of Nenthead, and others. The general arrangement of the strata in which these ores and minerals are found, is exhibited by a section of part of the lead-mining district belonging to Went- worth Blackett Beaumont, Esq., at AUenheads, in the county of Northumberland, and from whose mines the specimens of lead ores and examples of processes during conversion into lead and silver are taken ; and a further illustration of the geological structure of this part of England is given by an isometrical plan and section by the exhibitor, showing a considerable tract of mining ground in the manor of Alston Moor, in the county of Cumberland, The principal phenomena of minera,! veins and dis- placement of the strata in which lead ore is obtained in the north of England, are shown by dissected models invented by the exhibitor, and examples of the finished products are contained in a sepai-ate case, from Mr, Beau- mont's smelt-mills, under the direction of his agent, Mr. Thomas Steel. This collection, the general nature of which is here briefly indicated, is intended to illustrate the geological position and usual products of the north of England lead- mines. The following is the order of the five several portions, and which are more particularly described under these several heads in the sequel:— I. Sections of Strata at Allenheads and Alston. II. Models to illustrate Mineral Veins, etc. III. Minerals associated with Lead Ores. IV. Examples of the various stages of progress from the Mine to the Market. V. Lead and Silver prepared for Sale. I, As the express object of this collection is to afford a general view of the whole of the principal features relative to the extensive and important departments of British industry connected with lead-mining, and as this information is more expressly intended for the use of those who are not locally conversant with the physical conditions under which lead ores are itsually obtained, the exhibitor has, in the first instance, thought it neces- sary to present clear and distinct views of the geological structure of the district in which the chief lead-mines of the north of England are situated, in order that, without going into purely technical details, which are only of local interest, the several strata and order of super- position may be readily understood. As an approximate comparative view of produce, it may be considered that the lead raised in Mr, Beaumont's mines amounts to about one-fourth of the quantity raised in England, about one-sixth of the produce of Great Britain, and about one-tenth of that of the whole of Europe, including the British Isles. They have been extensively worked from time immemorial; part of them are situated in the manors belonging to Mr. Beaumont in the dales of East and West Allen, in the south-west part of Northumberland, and others are situated in the wild district of moors which forms the western extremity of the county of Durham. This part of the country happens to be at once the centre of the island of Great Britain, and by far the most elevated part of it, which is thickly populated, for, scattered over hills and dales which present an aspect of verdant cultivation, mixed with heathy moors, are to be found some thousands of inhabitants, nearly the whole of them either employed in lead-mines or smelting-mills. South Side—Areas S. 1 to S. 27. or indirectly deriving a livelihood from some connection^ with lead-mining business. Allenheads forms a central position in the midst of these mines, and the agent's house, shown on the section, is exactly 1,400 feet above the level of the sea, and is the highest house of its magnitude in Great Britain,—nor are many of the cot- tages of shepherds, and other moorland habitations, of greater elevation. The datum, or base line of the Allenheads section, is 700 feet above the level of the sea. The drawing, 16^ feet in length, is on a true scale of 100 feet to an inch; by a true scale being meant, that the lengths and heights are projected to the same scale or proportion, so that a true miniature profile of the country is given, as well as a correct reduction of the relative size of the various rocks. The extent of country thus shown is not quite 4 miles, being 3 miles 1,220 yards. The sj)ectator is supposed to be looking to the north, and the section commences at a point about half a mile eastward from a place called Kilhope Head, which is conspiciiously marked in all English maps, inasmuch as the three coimties of Northumberland, Durham, and Cumberland all meet in one spot. At about three- quarters of a mile from the point of commencement, the section represents the hill called Kilhope Law; it is on the boimdary line of the counties of Northumberland and Durham, and is the highest point of land in the last- named county, being 2,206 feet above the level of the sea. But out of the limits of this section, and about 10 miles south-west from Kilhope Law, the same strata which are here delineated reach an altitude of 2,901 feet above the sea, and this is the highest elevation attained by the rocks which form the carboniferous or mountain limestone of the north of England. Such being the stratification of the central portion of the narrow part of the island, of which the coal-fields of the Tyne and Wear form the extremity on the east, bordering the German Ocean for some distance north and south of Newcastle, while a similar coal-field is found at the western extremity near Whitehaven, it may be observed, with reference to these coal-fields, that they lie over or upon the mountain limestone formation. The coal-beds so extensively worked in the Newcastle and Dui'ham coal-mines, or collieries, gradually rise to the west, and one by one crop out, or bassett, according to the undulations of the country. At leng-th, at about 20 miles west of the German Sea, the lowest of the coal-beds crops out, and from beneath it gradually appear the lime- stone strata, which continue to rise nearly coincident with the general rise of the coimtry until they reach the summit of Cross Fell (2,901 feet); and this general and very gradual inclination of the strata, a feature of the greatest importance in practical mining, is clearly and accurately delineated in this section. In a thickness of about 2,000 feet of the alternating beds of sandstone, clay, and limestone, which form the strata of the mining districts of Allendale, Alston, and Weardale, there is one single stratum of limestone called the great limestone," the veins in which have pro- duced nearly, if not quite, as much ore as all the other strata put together. This stratum is delineated on the section, and may be observed lying at a depth of about 850 feet below the summit of Kilhope Law, Somewhat exceeding 2 miles eastward of this, at Allenheads the top of the gi^eat limestone is 230 feet from the top of a shaft called Gin-hill Shaft. Its thickness, which is tolerably uniform over several hundred square miles of country, is about 60 feet, and it is from this stratum of limestone that nearly all the specimens in this collection have been obtained. The dislocations of strata which constitute for the most pai-t important mineral veins, are exhibited more in detail in the series of geological models which form a part of this collection ; but some of the great features of displacement may be noticed on the section. At about a quarter of a mile to the west of, or left- hand direction from, Kilhope Law, the great limestone and all other associated beds are thrown down a depth of about 150 feet for a space of nearly 700 feet; and again, at the distance of nearly a mile from Allenheads, a vast dislocation takes place, by which the great limestone, it will be seen, is brovight nearly to the sm^face, the amount of displacement being about 400 feet. It is in the great limestone that by far the most extensive portion of the workings of Allenheads lead-mines are situated, and the galleries drawn on the section convey a general idea of the position of the mines. In a great thickness of strata above the great limestone only two beds of that rock are found. One of these is called " little limestone;" it is from 10 to 12 feet thick, and is 75 feet above the top of great limestone ; the other is still more inconsiderable, being only 3 or 4 feet thick, and is 440 feet above the great limestone. It is remarkable with what exactness this thin bed is found near the summit of hills, the inter- vening spaces having apparently been removed by denu- dation, so as to form in one case a gap of 6^ miles, and in another of If miles, in which the Tell Top limestone is entirely cut off. But beneath the great limestone, as will be seen by the lines of blue colour, are several beds of the same descrip- tion of rock, viz., at distances respectively of 30, 106, 190, 250, and 287 feet, and the thickness 2, 24,10,15, and 35feet. These are known by descriptive local names, and com- prise all that are of significance as regards lead-mining operations. The Allenheads mines being situated for the most part at depths from the surface varying from 200 to 600 feet, are drained partly by ordinary water-wheels, some of which are shown on the section, and partly by the new hydraulic engines invented by Mr. W, G. Armstrong, and four of which are now in use for draining and other mining purposes at Allenheads mines.* The isometrical plan and section of Nentsberiy, by the exhibitor, is intended to exemplify the manner in which isometrical projection may be used in the de- lineation of mines and mining districts. In ordinary plans and sections, only one plane, or set of parallel planes can be truly represented, but by this method of projection three several planes may be combined in one drawing, and lines crossing at right angles, as, for instance, north and south lines intersecting east and west lines, may be correctly projected, and vertical lines added on the same projection. The area represented by this drawing is about one-fourth of a square mile, each side being nearly half a mile in length. It is situated on the Eiver Nent, midway between the som^ce of that river at Nenthead and the market town of Alston. It includes some of the most interesting and prominent features of the strata and mines in that district, and amongst others the aqueduct called Nentfine Level, originally projected by the celebrated Smeaton, the engineer, who held the agency of these mines in 1775. A copy of this section is deposited in the Government Office of Mining Records, and a further account of the several mining and other details is given in vol. ii. of " The Transactions of the Natural History Society of Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne." II. Models to illustrate Mineral Veins.—Plans and sections, althoiigh of great use, and indeed indispen- sable for all well-conducted mining operations, are yet incapable of conveying information relative to solid forms in so complete a manner as may be accomplished by the vise of models, which are, in fact, a reduced rej^resentation of the actual form of objects. The utility of models is further increased when they are made in separate portions, so as to admit of being dissected and put together again. By this means, not only the surface of the earth, but even the interior of mines may be correctly represented. The models contained in the series now exhibited are exact duplicates of a series made for the Museum of Practical Geology, and copies of which, on a smaller scale, are published. The details which accompany the published models may be had separately; and the fol- lowing catalogue briefly indicates the principal points illustrated, as having a bearing upon the lead-mining districts :— * SeeTransac. Civil Engineers, 1850 and 1851. South Side—Areas S. 1 to S. 27. Model No. 1 represents a square mass of part of the carboniferous, or mountain limestone strata. Tlie little and great limestone are both represented in this model, and the upper portion admits of being removed to show the result of the extensive denudation which is so con- spicuous throughout the mining dales of the north of England. Model No. 2 represents the principal seams or beds of coal in the district east of the lead-mines of the north of England, and situated, as regards geological sequence, above the mountain limestone strata. Model No. 3 separates into four sections, in order to illustrate the displacement of strata by what is called the 'Hhrow" of mineral veins, and the effects of denudation, which take away all sui-face indications of such displace- ment. Model No. 4 is intended to illustrate the deceptive appearances which are often presented at the surface by the successive outcrop of the same beds of coal, lime- stone, or other strata. Conditions which require the most careful considerations in agriculture as well as mining, and which are especially deserving of attention in the exploration of newly discovered lands. Model No. 5. Dislocations of strata require not only to be studied as regards the virtual section, but also as regards both horizontal and inclined planes. Whether the object of search be coal, limestone, or any other member of a series of stratified rocks, it will be obvious, on examining the divisional plane of this model, that an adit or level may be driven upon this plane so as to intersect the desired stratum, or wholly avoid it. Model No. 6. This represents the intersection of mineral veins and the disruption of strata caused thereby. The apparent shifting of a vein from its ordinary bearing is here shown to be only a result of ordinary mechanical displacement. Model No. 7 represents the surface denudation of mineral veins, by which an apparent complexity of form is introduced, as regards the outline of the strata on the curved contour of the surface. Models 8 to 12 represent varioiis conditions of strati- fied rocks in relation to their inclination, as compared with that of the surface, presenting conditions highly explanatory of facts which are of constant occurrence in mining, and of the first importance in geological surveys; but any detailed explanation of such phenomena would exceed the proper limits of this description. III. Minerals associated with Lead Ores.—The plans, sections, and models already described convey a general idea of the geological and mining conditions of the district from whence the specimens illustrative of lead-mining have been chiefly obtained. The remainder of the collection is arranged with a view to exhibit, first, the productions upon which the industry of the lead- miner has to be exercised; secondly, the processes by which he renders these productions fit for use; and thirdly, the results of his labour. In considering the best manner of following out any classification of this natural order or arrangement, the exhibitor had in view to exhibit the first named in a separate case, containing labelled specimens of the prin- cipal rocks, ores, and spars of Allendale and Alston, then in a series of cases to show the various processes, and finally, in another separate case, corresponding with the first, to exhibit the finished products of lead and silver. As regards the second and third divisions of this arrange- ment no alteration was made; but the first, now under description, was modified and altered under the following circumstances. A number of agents and other parties interested in lead-mining, and chiefly residing in Alston Moor, were anxious to send a collection of minerals collected from lead-mines to the Exhibition, and a working miner, Mr. Isaac Robinson, who was one of the parties, was anxious to fit up this case in a manner corresponding to some small collections which he had cemented together, and which had been much admired. As such a collec- tion formed, in point of fact, the essential feature of the first division, which had been contemplated, being speci- mens of the minerals associated with lead, it was con- sidered, at a meeting of the parties concerned, that it should be fitted up as proposed by Mr. Isaac Robinson, under the genex'al superintendence and direction of the exhibitor and others. This was accordingly done, and the case contains upwards of 2,000 specimens fitted together, not as a representation of any particular cavern, but grouped so as to present to view an example of almost every mineral substance \isually found in immediate con- nection with lead-ores. Some of the examples are in- teresting as ornamental spars. But spars are not alone useful as ornaments : they are partly used in the arts, and they also afford instructive indications in tracing the course of mineral veins. The whole of this case was cemented together by Mr. Isaac Robinson during the intervals of his ordinary hours of work. IV. Examples of the vauious stages of progress from the Mine to the Market.—This part of the col- lection is arranged in five cases, each containing six boxes of one square foot each, being in all thirty boxes. Fifteen of these boxes, in a line furthest from the front edge of the counter, contain specimens of lead-mining from the excavation of the ore in the mine, and showing the several stages of progress until ready to send to the smelt-mill; and the other fifteen boxes, in a line nearest to the front of the counter, contain specimens of the ore as prepared for smelting, and its various stages of pro- gress, until manufactured into lead and the silver sepa- rated ; these finished products being contained in Division No. 5 of this collection. Case No. 1.—Lead ore,, as first separated from the vein in which it is found, and which in this state is called "bouse" in the north of England lead-mines, and the places in which it is deposited at the surface are called bouse teams. The depositing of the ore in these places is greatly facilitated at Allenheads by the use of tipping frames, of a new construction, by Mr, W. G. Armstrong, of the Elswick Engine Works, near Newcastle-on-Tyne. This example is from a ^'flat" vein in Allenheads mines, in the great limestone, which rock forms the curiously laminated matrix with which the ore is intermixed. The ore and rock thus intermixed require to be separated, as is exhibited by the following examples. By a flat vein, or "flatts," is meant a horizontal extension of mineral substances to a considerable distance from the ordinary vertical or steeply inclined veins, which extend in the manner of fissures through the various beds of I'ock forming the district. The regular lamination of the ore is worthy of attention, as leading to speculations on the origin of mineral veins ; a subject of great practical importance. The example here shown is taken from a part of the " flatt workings," at a distance of about 20 feet from the principal or nearly vertical part of the vein. Case No. 2. ''Bouse," or lead ore, as extracted from the vein, and showing an example of the curiously polished surface, which is a frequent characteristic of veins, and which would appear at first sight to have been very carefully polished by artificial means, many of the surfaces being sufficiently clear to reflect the images of objects in a tolerably definite form. The local name of such bright and polished surfaces is " slickensides;" and the suggestion mentioned in the notice of the last speci- men, as to the value of scientific inquiry, applies with still greater force to the class of phenomena of which this is one of the most curious indications. Case No. 3 contains a portion of the ordinary bouse, or ore, as newly worked from the vein, and much inter- mixed with the materials contained in Cases 1 and 2, as well as with other earthy and sparry contents of veins. The produce of mineral veins varies from pure galena, of which some pieces are shown, to masses of rock in spar, in which the ore is so thinly disseminated as not to repay the trouble of extraction. Case No. 4. The intermixed rocks and ores shown in the preceding cases are first subjected to ''picking," and then to "washing," on a grate. The first of these operations separates from the general mass all such pieces of galena as are either not mixed with other substances, or which can be readily separated with a hammer on what South Side—Areas S. 1 to S. 27. are called ''knoeking-stones/' and the second has the effect of clearing away all earthy matter. These speci- mens, picked from the heap and washing-grate, are ready for smelting after being reduced with a hammer to the size of the ore contained in Case No. 9. Case No. 5 contains ordinary "bouse/' or lead ore taken from the trunking-box after passing through the u-ashing- grate, being, in fact, a process of washing and sizing, with a view to the further operations exhibited in the following cases. Case No. 6 contains specimens of ordinary bouse, which from the size of the pieces and intermixture of rock and ore, require to be passed through the rollers of the crushing-mill. Case No. 7. Specimens of the same bouse, or ore, after having passed through the rollers of the crushing- mill. Case No. 8. So far the processes have consisted simply of extraction of the ore from its place in the mine,—of the pure samples of ore being picked out and washed and sized, ready for being smelted at once, without further operations,—of the remainder or poorer samples being washed and separated by an iron grate or sieve into two sizes, the larger having to be ground between rollers to red;ice it to the same size as the smaller, which had passed the grate, and when reduced to this stage, the whole is ready for an operation called "botching," which consists in placing the ore in a tub with water—the bottom of this tub is a sieve—and the whole is subjected to a rapid vibratory vertical movement, or shaking, by which a separation of the ore takes place. The water so far lessens the weight as greatly to facilitate the down- ward movement of the ore, which of course is much heavier than the spar and other materials connected with it. The vibratory movement is sometimes given by manual labour : a long arm, moving with a spring, is jerked up and down by a strong lad jumping on a raised stand, so as to produce the required motion. The same results may be obtained by machinery; and a model of a botching apparatus accompanies these specimens. It represents the mode in which the botching tubs are worked in some of Mr. Beaumont's mines in West Allen- dale ; and both the mode of applying the machinery, and the manufacture of the model representing it, are due to the ingenuity of Mr. Joseph Hetherington, one of the engi- neers or Wrights employed at these mines. The ore prepared as has already been described, and after being shaken in the " hotching-tub," the upper part is entirely waste or refuse, and is called "cuttings," of which this case. No. 8, contains a specimen. Case No. 9 contains lead ore as obtained from the bottom of the hotching-tub, and is ready for being smelted. Case No. 10 contains what is called " undressed smid- dum," being what has passed through the sieve of the hotching-tub into the box or case of water in which the hotching-tub vibrates. Case No. 11 is the "smiddum," after being dressed or cleared from all foreign substances in what is locally called a "buddle," and the ore, in being so washed, is said to be "huddled." Case No. 12. In all operations where a stream of run- ning water is employed to wash lead ores, it is obvious that many of the smaller particles will be carried away with the stream. These particles are allowed to settle by their specific gravity in what are called slime-pits, being merely reservoirs in which the water passes over a long space with a very tranquil movement. In the Case No. 12 is an example of the slime or deposit in these slime-pits, undressed. Case No. 13 contains a specimen of what is called "slime ore," having been extracted or separated from the slime shown in Case No. 12. This separation is effected by manual labour in what are called " nicking-trunks," and is made ready for a final washing or separation in the " dolly-tub." Case No. 14 contains slime ore obtained, not by manual labour, but by means of a patented invention of Mr. Bnmton's, by which the slime, being first freely mixed with water, is allowed to fall on a revolving canvas cloth, inclined at a moderate angle, and upon which also drops of water are constantly falling, so as to keep the surface well wetted. The heavier particles of ore being thus free to move, are carried xp the slightly inclined surface of the canvas, and so pass round a roller to a cistern below, in which they are deposited, while the lighter particles of earthy matter and spar are at once carried down the canvas by the stream of water. The ore thus obtained requires finally to be washed in the dolly-tub, after which it is fit for being smelted. Case No. 15 contains slime ore as taken from the dolly- tub, which is the last operation connected with the washing and dressing of lead ores, as usually practised in the lead-mines belonging to Mr. Beaumont, and in the lead-mines generally of this part of the kingdom. The German huddle is also occasionally used in dressing slime ores. A considerable improvement was made in this apparatus about 30 years ago by Mr. Robert Stagg, of Middleton, in Teesdale. Case No. 16 exhibits a specimen of "selected" or superior lead ore, in the form in which it is sent to and deposited at the smelt-mill, ready to be smelted. Case No. 17 contains an example of the ordinary or common lead ore, as prepared and ready for smelting. Cases Nos. 18 and 19 contain the same ores (select and common) after having undergone the operation of being "roasted," or exposed to a suitable temperature in a reverbatory furnace, the object being to free it from the sulphur contained in galena, pure specimens of which consist of lead 86*6 and sulphur 13*3. By this process the ore is rendered more easily reducible. Case No. 20. Grey slags formed in the process of ore hearth smelting, and from which the lead is afterwards obtained at the slag hearth. Case No. 21. Black slags, being the residuum obtained from the slag hearth, and which assume the granulated form from being made to flow, when in a melted state, into water. Cases Nos. 22 and 23 contain examples of the crystals of selected and common lead, as formed in the process of separating or desilvering the ore: patented by Mr. H. L. Pattinson, and first brought into operation at Mr. Beau- mont's smelt-mills. Cases Nos. 24, 25, and 26, contain specimens of the fume or deposit in the long flues connected with the smelt-mills : that in No. 24 being the ordinary fume collected in the flue. No. 25 the same, after being roasted for the ore hearth, and No, 26 the same, roasted for the slag hearth. The flues or chimneys are built of stone, 8 feet by 6 feet inside, and are upwards of 85 miles long. Cases Nos. 27, 28, and 29.-—Litharge in the ordinary round state, and two varieties of Timsed litharge which have been passed through a sieve. Case No. 30.—Skimmings from the surface of melted lead, showing iridescent hues, which are frequently of great intensity and beauty. V. Lead and Silvek prepared for Sale.—The follow- ing are contained in the large upright case which completes the several objects sent in illustration of lead-mining, viz.:— No. 31. Lead made from roasted lead ore^ and placed in a model-mould, same as No. 37. No. 32. Grey slag lead, in mould. No. 33. Selected lead, in mould. No. 34. Common lead, in mould. No. 35. Lead made from ore-hearth fume, in mould. No. 36. Lead made from slag-hearth fume, in mould. No. 37. Empty mould, marked W. Blackett, which name, or its initials, viz., W. B., form the well-known mark of the lead produced from Mr. Beaumont's mines. No. 38. A pig, or piece of common lead, weighing 12 stones, or 1:^ cwt. No. 39. A pig, or piece of selected lead, weighing 12 stones, or 1^ cwt. In the above examples, Nos. 31 to 37 are models of reduced size. The dimensions of the ordinary pieces of lead, as manufactured for sale, are shown in Nos. 38 and 39. The number of pieces usually manufactured at these SouTPi Side—Areas S. 1 to S. 27. mines in a year, if laid in one continuous line, would extend upwards of 70 miles in length. No. 40. A cake of silver produced from lead raised in Mr. Beaumont's mines, and weighing 8,000 ounces. 485 OxLAND, Robert, Buckland Street, Plymouth— Inventor and Manufacturer. A series of specimens illustrative of an improved process for dressing ores of tin; containing wolfram (the tungstate of iron and manganese). Invented by the exhibitor, for the separation of the wolfram from the ores of the Drake Walls Tin Mine, on the Cornish side of the river Tamar. This process is now in regular operation at the mine. In^ consequence of the specific gravity of wolfram, which is from 7-100 to 7 "500, being greater than that of the black tin of the mines or the pure native oxide of tin, which is only from 6*3 to 7*00, it has been found impossible to separate the wolfram from the tin oxide by the usual mechanical process of washing in a stream of water. This led to the necessity of adopting the patent chemical process explained with the descrip- tion of the series of specimens. No. 1. " Tin witts:" the ore obtained from the stamp- floors, where, subsequently to its having been crushed or stamped down to a suitable size, it has been washed in a stream of water, in order to separate the earthy particles with which it was associated. The clean " witts" contain native oxide of tin; black tin, or rosin-tin and wolfram, with iron and arsenical pyrites, generally containing some copper. In the course of washing, the ''witts" are sorted into different parcels, according to the size of the particles, and are known as jigged, marked A; flucan, B; smalls, or '^'smales," C; slime, D; roughs, or rows, E. The "witts" are calcined in a reverberatory furnace, usually constructed of fire-brick throughout, but the furnace, of which a drawing is exhibited, has been found to be as well adapted for this purpose, as for the process for which it was originally intended. The calcination is con- tinued until all the sulphur and arsenic is evolved. The residue No. 2 contains black tin, or native tin oxide, peroxide of iron, wolfram, some sulphate of copper, and a small quantity of earthy matter. By a series of washing operations on the burning hovise floors, the peroxide of iron, sulphate of copper, and earthy matters are removed, and the product obtained is No. 3, which consists of oxide of tin, with most of the wolfram. The process is in the next place employed for the removal of the wolfram. Its proportion having been ascertained by analysis, a quantity of sulphate of soda, or salt cake, is mixed with the ore sufficient to supply a slight excess of the equivalent of soda for the quantity of tvmgstic acid present; but with the sulphate of soda, must be mixed sufficient coal dust or charcoal to afford carbon or carburetted hydrogen, for the decomposition of the sulphuric acid and the conversion of sulphate of soda into sulphide of sodium. The mixture is exposed to heat on the bed of the furnace described below; a smoky or reducing flame is at first employed, but after the whole of the charge has been at a red heat for some time, an oxidating flame is necessary to complete the operation. Thus the sulphate of soda is first converted into sulphide of sodium, then the tungstic acid of the wolfram combines with the soda, producing tungstite of soda, setting the sulphur free as sulphurous acid, and leaving the iron in the condition of a light finely divided peroxide. The product No. 4, is drawn from the furnace into the wrinkle, or chamber beneath, and is thence removed whilst still hot into tanks containing water, which quickly dissolves the tungstate of soda. The solution is run off into receivers, and the residue is removed to the biirning house floors, where, by a series of washings, the peroxide of iron is removed, and the native oxide of tin obtained pure and ready for the smelting house, as seen in No. 5. An ore which had fetched only 42/. per ton has by this operation been so much improved in quality as to obtain 56/. per ton. The tungstate of soda, No. 6, is obtained in the crys- talline form by the evaporation to the crystallizing point of the solution in which it was separated from the tin. It is proposed to be used as a substitute for stannate of soda as a mordant for dyeing purposes. Tungstic acid, No. 7, may be employed for the same pur-pose, or for the manufacture of tungstate of the tungstous oxide with soda, a compound much resembling gold. The tungstate of lead, No. 8, and tungstate of lime. No. 9, are good white pigments (manufactured from the tungstate of soda), from which was also obtained the metallic tungsten. No. 10, and sulphuret of tungsten. No. 11. The former is for use in the manufacture of metallic alloys; the latter has been proposed as a sub- stitute for black-lead. The furnace is constructed in the usual manner, excepting that a cast-iron bed has been employed to prevent the loss that would arise from the reaction of the silica of the biicks, the soda, and the tin oxide on each other. The fire, after passing over the bed, is also made to circulate beneath it before passing away to the chimney. 486 Brucciani, D.—Producer.

These specimens display the surface, and where prac- ticable, the fracture of all the useful metals and alloys. Many of the alloys are new combinations, and are valuable in point of utility and economy. -Some of the alloys are intended for the small steps of machinery, &c,, composed of 16 oz. copper, 8 oz. zinc, 4 oz. lead, | oz. tin. This alloy has been used very extensively; it works well under the file and turning-tool; and its lasting properties are great. This is the cheapest metal that will answer for machinery pm-poses, especially if made from brass turn- ings. The alloy laade from pig iron and zinc turns and files very well, and is adapted for shaft-bearings, parti- cularly for such work as requires exposure to the weather. Portions of this metal have been exposed for several weeks without any appearance of rust. It is intended as a substitute for brass in many cases, being much cheaper. The magnetic properties of the iron are entirely neutral- ized ; hence, for some purposes, it will be superior to any other metal or combination. In speculum metals, the proportions of Newton (163 and 164),_ when cast in a hot chill, will take a more brilliant polish, and retain the brilliancy longer than any other combination; being cast in a hot chill prevents too sudden contraction, and the brittleness so often experienced. These _ cabinets of metals and alloys are intended as illustrations for the lecture-table, and for general reference in the manipula- tions of metals. 488 Garland, Thomas, Fairfield, Redruth— Manufacturer.

(/) Models of the great ingot moulds employed for forming the pigs of lead of commerce. (g) Model of the great spoon-strainers employed for separating the pure, or nearly pure lead, from the molten liquid. The operation depends upon the property which lead possesses in weak alloys of crystallizing at a certain tem- perature, by which means those crystals, at the moment of forming, can be extracted, and thus separated from the silver mass. By a particular manipulation in transferring the con- centrated lead and silver from pot to pot, the mass is at last reduced to an alloy, containing some 80 or 90 ounces of silver to the ton of lead, and much beyond which point it is not found advantageous to crystallize. The rich lead is now simply melted in the refining fur- nace, on a very large cupel, formed of bone ash, exposing a great surface to the draught of air passing over it. The oxygen of the atmosphere is rapidly imbibed by the lead, which becomes the litharge of commerce. This is raked off" as quickly as it forms; and finally, the silver is left perfectly, or very nearly, pure, and run into ingots for the market. (g) Is the litharge or minium thus withdrawn from the melted surface. Model of the lead vapour-condensing apparatus, at Wanloch Lead-mines, as improved by the exhibitor. A collection of minerals from the Wanloch Lead-mines, or Lead-hills. [In all great smelting works of this class, the smoke rising from the furnaces is highly charged with noxious vapours, containing, besides other poisonous matter, a large quantity of lead ; many attempts have been made to obviate this nuisance, and the system adopted by the exhibitor has been found to be very successful. An oblong building in solid masonry, about 30 feet in height, is divided by a partition wall, into two chambers, having a tall chimney or tower adjoining, which commu- nicates with one of the chambers at the bottom. (See engraving.) The smoke from the various furnaces, eight in number, and about 100 yards distance from the con- denser, is carried by separate fliies into a large chamber; from thence, by a larger flue, it enters the first chamber of the condenser at the very bottom, and is forced up- wards in a zigzag course towards the top, passing four times through a shower of water constantly percolating from a pierced reservoir at the summit of the tower. The smoke is again compelled to filter a fifth time, through a cube of coke some two feet square, through which a stream of water filters downwards, and which is confined to its proper limits by a vertical grating of wood. The smoke having reached the top, is now opposite the passage, into the second, or vacuum chamber. This is termed the exhausting chamber, and is about five feet by seven feet inside, and 30 or more feet in height. On its summit is fixed a large reservoir, svipplied by an am- ple stream of water, always maintaining a depth of 6 to 10 inches. The bottom of this tank is of iron, having se- veral openings, or slots, 12 in number, about an inch in width, and extending across the whole area of the reser- voir, communicating directly with the chamber beneath. On this iron plate, works a hydraulic slide-plate, with openings corresponding in one position with those in the reservoir. This plate receives a horizontal reciprocating motion from a water-wheel or other power, driven by means of a connecting-rod and crank. In the middle of every stroke, the openings in the plate correspond with those in the bottom of the re- servoir, and a powerful body of water falls as a shower bath, the whole height of the vacuum chamber, and in domg so, sweeps the entire inside area, carrying with it every particle of insoluble matter held suspended in the vapours coming from the furnaces. The atmospheric pressure, of course, acts in alternate strokes as a blast at the furnace-mouths, and causes a draught sufficiently strong to force the impure vapours, through the various channels, in connexion with the water, the wet coke and exhausting chamber, until it passes purified and inert into the atmosphere. The water, saturated with particles of lead, &c., held m mechanical solution, finally passes into great dykes or reservoirs, excavated for the purpose; and there deposits its rich charge of metal. (A) Is the lead collected from this ''fume," or deposit, which contains about 33 per cent, of pure lead, and about 4 oz. 17 dwts. and 7 grains of silver to the ton. (0 The condensed fume roasted. The results of this arrangement are most apparent, and beneficial to the surrounding neighbourhood. Formerly, the noxious fumes passing from the shafts of the furnaces^ poisoned the neighbourhood; the heather was burnt up^ vegetation destroyed, and no animal could graze, or bird feed near the spot. Now, the heather is seen in luxu- riance close around the establishment, the sheep graze within a stone's throw of the chimney's base, and game on all sides take shelter.—J. A.

On analysis by Dr. Hoffman, they are found to consist of:—Mercury, 67'25; Sulphur, 10-33; Inso- luble matter, 22'55. The insoluble matter consisting chiefly of silica, alumina, and traces of iron. On distil- lation with lime, 3,750 grains yielded 2,625 grains of mercury, or 70 per cent. The mine has been worked one year; and in the month of November 1850, it yielded 127,500 lbs. of pure mercury. This is exported from San Francisco to the ports of Span- ish America. [Cinnabar is the only important ore of mercury, but is found in several states, sometimes in crystals, in lami- nated and granular masses, in a fibrous condition, and mixed with bitumen to the extent of 6 or 8 per cent.

The mines of Almaden, in Spain, and Idria, in Carinthia, are those from which the chief supply has hitherto been obtained; but the discovery of mercury in the mountains on the coast of California, some years since, promises to affect the supply very consi- derably, when sufiicient means are employed to work the mines extensively.—D.

Accompanied by a Map, showing the extent and position of the principal Coal-fields of Europe and North America. By D. T. Ansted, M.A., F.R.S., &c., Prof. Geol., K.C.L. 1. General Account of Materials used for Fuel. The chief supplies of valuable fuel are, and always have been, derived immediately or distantly from the vegetable kingdom. Whether in the form of wood, peat, lignite, or coal of various kinds, the original sub- stance of all fuel has been found to have this origin, and thus it would seem that the power of vitality exerted in producing woody fibre has been from time to time stored up, as it were, into vast reservoirs, where it might be preserved safely and permanently for an indefinite pe- riod. In warm climates, where the growth of vegetation is extremely rapid, and comparatively little fuel is needed: or in the early periods of civilization, before men con- gregate in large masses in towns, or are actively employed in manufacture, there is little need of more fuel than is sup- plied by the natural growth of forests; but under other cir- cumstances, where forests are gradually removed, and the consumption of fuel at the same time increases, the reserved stores are greatly needed, and must ultimately be reckoned among the main sources of a country's wealth. The accumulations of mineral fuel in the Bri- tish islands may be ranked as one of those natural ad- vantages without which our country could not possibly have taken up and held for a long time the position she occupies among the nations of the earth; and thus, as one of the great and principal sources of its mineral treasure, the coal deposits of England demand and deserve our careful attention. The relative supply of other countries, and the activity and energy displayed in taking advantage of the existence of mineral fuel, must also be worthy of attention, as illustrating and explaining the condition of many manufactures, and the probable advance of the inhabitants of such districts in the refinements of civili- zation. Since the introduction of steam-power for all purposes of machinery, the consumption of coal has very greatly increased, and at present it would be difii- cult to set any limits to the use of so valuable a ma- terial. The changes undergone by vegetable matter when bu- ried in the earth and accumulated in large quantities, and the length of time needed to produce any marked alteration, are subjects rather more interesting, it may seem, to the chemist than to the practical man, who looks only for fuel that he may employ economically. But inasmuch as the real condition of coal varies consi- derably, and different kinds are valuable for different purposes, it is desirable that the whole history of coal and lignite beds, and of peat and turf, should be gene- rally understood by every one using any or all of these substances extensively. Vegetable matter consists of particles of carbon with minute proportions of several other elements arranged round minute cavities or cells, many of these being me- chanically connected to form the varieties of vegetable fibre. A large quantity of water is also present, and so long as the vegetable lives there is a constant change and circulation of material particles kept up, replacing and renewing the different portions. When death takes place there is a tendency to decomposition, or the sepa- ration of the whole into minute atoms, having no further relation to each other. But this is frequently checked by various conditions, such as the presence of some sub- stances derived from plants themselves, or the absence of sufficient oxygen gas to allow the change to take place, by mixing with the carbon, and becoming carbonic acid gas, the first step in the process of destruction. These causes operate constantly, but partially, and thus a large quantity of vegetable matter is always in the course of decomposition, while, in particular spots, a large quan- tity is constantly being accumulated. The latter con- dition is seen in our climate in the gradual but steady increase of peat bogs. The former is too common to require further notice. 2. Peat and Turf. Accumulations of vegetable matter may be chiefly composed either of succulent vegetation, grassas, or marsh plants, or of trees, and the structure and condi- tion of woody fibre is well known to be very different from that of grasses and succulent plants. There are thus two very distinct kinds of material preserved, the one undergoing change much less rapidly than the other, and perhaps much less completely. It is easy to prove that, from the accumulation of forest trees has been ob- tained the imperfect coal called lignite, while from marsh plants and grasses, mixed occasionally with wood, we obtain peat, turf, and bog. All these substances consist to a great extent of carbon, the proportion amounting to from 50 to 60 per cent., and being generally greater in lignite than in turf. On the other hand, the propor- tion of oxygen gas is generally very much greater in turf than in lignite. The proportion of ash is too variable to be worth recording, but is generally sufficiently large to injure the quality of the fuel. As a very large quantity of turf exists in Ireland, covering, indeed, as much as one-seventh part of the island, the usual and important practical condition of this sub- stance as fuel can be best illustrated by a reference to that country. This will be understood by the following ac- count of its origin abstracted from the " Bog Report " of Mr. Nimmo. He says, referring to cases where clay spread over gravel has produced a kind of puddle, pre- venting the escape of the waters of fioods or springs, and when muddy pools have thus been formed, that aquatic plants have gradually crept in from the borders of the pool towards their deep centre. Mud accumulated round their roots and stalks, and a spongy semi-fluid was thus formed, well fitted for the growth of moss, which now, especially spears of Sphagnum, began to luxuriate; this absorbing a large quantity of water, and continuing to shoot out new plants above, while the old were decaying, rotting, and compressing into a solid substance below, gra- dually replaced the water by a mass of vegetable matter. In this manner the marsh might be filled up, while the central or moister portion, continuing to excite a more rapid growth of the moss, it would be gradually raised above the edges, until the whole surface had attained an elevation sufficient to discharge the surface-water by existing channels of drainage, and calculated by its slope to facilitate their passage, when a limit would be, in some degree, set to its further increase. Springs existing under the bog, or in its immediate vicinity, might indeed still favour its growtli, though in a decreasing ratio; and here, if the water proceeding from them were so ob- structed as to accvimulate at its base, and to keep it in a rotten fiuid state, the siirface of the bog might be ulti- mately so raised, and its continuity below so totally de- stroyed, as to cause it to flow over the retaining obstacle, and flood the adjacent country. In mountain districts the progress of the phenomenon is similar. Pools, indeed, cannot in so many instances be formed, the steep slopes facilitating drainage, but the clouds and mists resting on the summits and sides of mountains, amply supply their surface with moisture, which comes, too, in the most favourable form for vege- tation, not in a sudden torrent, but unceasingly and gently, drop by drop. The extent of such bogs is also affected by the nature of the rock below them. On quartz they are shallow and small; on any rock yielding by its decomposition a clayey coating, they are consider- able ; the thickness of the bog (for example in Knock- laid, in the county of Antrim, which is 1,685 feet high) being nearly 12 feet. The summit bogs of high moun- tains are distinguishable from those of lower levels, by the total absence of large trees. As turf includes a mass of plants in different stages of decomposition, its aspect and constitution vary very much. Near the surface it is light-coloured, spongy, and contains the vegetable matter but little altered; deeper it is brown, denser, and more decomposed; and finally, at the base of the greater bogs, some of which . present a depth of 40 feet, the mass of turf assumes the black colour, and nearly the density of coal, to which also it approximates very much in chemical composition. The amount of ash contained in turf is also variable, and appears to increase in proportion as we descend. Thus, in the section of a bog 40 feet deep, at Timahoe, those portions near the surface contained 1^ per cent, of ashes, the centre portions 3j per cent., whilst the lowest four feet of turf, contained 19 per cent, of ashes. In the superficial layers, it may also be remarked, that the com- position is nearly the same as that of wood, the vegetable material being but little altered, and in the lower we find the change into coal nearly complete. Notwithstanding these extreme variations, we may yet establish the ordi- nary constitution of turf with certainty enough for prac- tical use, and, on the average specimens of turf selected from various localities, the following results have been obtained :— The calorific power of dry turf is about half that of coal; it yields, when ignited with litharge, about four- teen times its weight of lead. This power is, however, immensely diminished in ordinary use, by the water which is allowed to remain in its texture, and of which the spongy character of its mass renders it very difficult to get rid. There is nothing which requires more altera- tion than the collection and preparation of turf; indeed, for practical purposes, this valuable fuel is absolutely spoiled as it is now prepared in Ireland. It is cut in a wet season of the year; whilst drying it is exposed to the wea- ther; it hence is in reality not dried at all. It is very usual to find the turf of commerce containing one-fonrth of its weight of water, although it then feels dry to the hand. But let us examine how that affects its calorific power. One pound of pure dry turf will evaporate 6 lbs, of water; now in 1 lb, of turf, as usually found, there are f lb. of dry turf, and I5 lb. of water. The f lb. can only evapo- rate 45 lbs. of water; but out of this it must first evapo- rate the J lb. contained in its mass, and hence the water boiled away by 1 lb, of such turf is reduced to 4j lbs. The loss is here 30 per cent., a proportion which makes all the difference between a good fuel and one almost unfit for use. When turf is dried in the air, under cover, it still retains one-tenth of its weight of water, which reduces its calorific power 12 per cent., 1 lb. of such turf evaporating 5^ lbs. of water. This effect is sufficient, however, for the great majority of objects; the further desiccation is too expensive and too troublesome to be used, except in some especial cases. The char-acteristic fault of turf as a fuel is its want of density, which renders it difficult to concentrate within a limited space the quantity of heat necessary for many operations. The manner of heating turf is, indeed, just the opposite to that of anthracite. The turr yields a vast body of volatile inflammable ingredients, which pass into the flues and chimney, and thus distribute the heat of combustion over a great space, whilst in no one point is the heat intense. Hence for all flaming fires turf is applicable, and in its application to boilers it is pecu- liarly useful, as there is no liability to that burning away of the metal, which may arise from the local intensity of the heat of coke or coal. If it be required, it is quite possible, however, to obtain a very intense heat with turf. The removal of the porosity and elasticity of turf, so that it may assume the solidity of coal, has been the ob- ject of many who have proposed mechanical and other processes for the purpose. It has been found that the elasticity of the turf fibre presents great obstacles to compression, and the black turf, which is not fibrous, is, of itself, sufficiently dense. Not merely may we utilize turf in its natural condi- tion, or compressed, or impregnated with pitchy matter, but we may carbonize it, as we do wood, and prepare turf charcoal, the properties of which it is important to establish. The methods of carbonization are of two kinds :—1. By heating turf in close vessels; by this mode loss is avoided, but it is expensive, and there is no com- pensation in the distilled liquors, which do not contain acetic acid in any quantity. The tar is often small in quantity, and the gases are deficient in illuminating power, hence the charcoal is the only valuable product. Its quantity varies from 30 to 40 per cent, by weight of the dry turf. The products of the distillation of 1,157 lbs. of turf were found by Blavier to be—charcoal, 474 lbs., or 41 per cent. ; watery liquid, 226 lbs,, or 19*3 per cent,; gaseous matter, 450 lbs,, or 39 per cent,; and tar, 7 lbs., or 6 per cent.; but the proportion of tar is variable, sometimes reaching to 24*5 per cent, when coked in close vessels. The economical carbonization of turf is best carried on in heaps, in the same manner as that of wood. The sods must be regularly arranged, and laid as close as possible; they are the better for being large—15 inches long, by 6 broad, and 5 deep. The heaps, built hemi- spherically, should be smaller in size than the heaps of wood usually are. In general 5,000 or 6,000 large sods may go to a heap, which will thus contain 1,500 cubic feet. The mass must be allowed to heat more than is necessary for wood, and the process requires to be very carefully attended to, from the extreme combustibility of the charcoal. The quantity of charcoal obtained in this mode of carbonization is from 25 to 30 per cent, of the weight of dry turf. The charcoal so obtained is very light and very inflam- mable ; it possesses nearly the volume of the turf. It usually burns with a light flame, as the volatile matters are not totally expelled. This is shown by the com- position of a specimen analyzed with the following- result :— Carbon 89-90 Hydrogen 1-70 Oxygen and nitrogen . . 4*20 Ashes 4-20 100-00 For many industrial uses the charcoal so prepared is too light, as, generally speaking, it is only with fuels of considerable density that the most intense heat can be produced; but by coking compressed turf, it has been already shown that the resulting charcoal may attain a density of 1,040, which is far superior to that of wood charcoal, and even equal to that of the best coke made from coal. As to caloriflc effect, turf charcoal is about the same as coal cokes, and little inferior to wood charcoal. It is peculiarly important, in the preparation of the charcoal from turf, that the material should be selected as free as possible from earthy impurities, for all such are concentrated in the coke, which may be thereby ren- dered of little comparative value. Hence the coke from surface turf contains less than 10 per cent, of ash, whilst that of the dense turf of the lower strata contains from 20 to 30 per cent. This latter quantity might altogether unfit it for practical purposes. The above account of turf and its value, for which we are much indebted to the work of Sir Robert Kane, on the Industrial Resources of Ireland, will be found to apply in an important way to many experiments lately tried with this kind of fuel, and illustrated by several objects exhibited by Mr. Cobbold, Mr, Reece Rees, Mr. J, Rogers, and others. The products obtained for eco-. nomic use, by the more careful distillation of turf and peat, will be fully described by reference to the body of the Catalogue. 3. Lignite. Lignite also occurs in Ireland, especially on the shores of Lough Neagh, where it is partly used as fuel. The vast quantity of the lignite may be judged fi^om a boring at Sandy Bay, described by Mr. Griffith. In 76 feet of depth there occurred three beds of lignite, one of 20, one of 25, and one of 15 feet thick, giving a total thick- ness of strata of fuel of 60 feet; the remaining 16 feet were clay. Elsewhere, the beds of lignite are not so much developed; but as the area of this tertiary basin extends over 100 square miles, the quantity of fuel therein contained may be considered of much public interest. This lignite is intermediate between wood and coal, and is found ogti examination to present all the structure of wood, and is of a deep brown colour. When ignited, it gives off gaseous matter, which burns brilliantly, and leaves a dense black charcoal. Specimens are found to contain from 53-7 to 57'7 volatile matter, 30*0 to 33*6 carbon, 8 to 16 ash. The economic value of the lignite appears from those analyses about two-thirds that of average coal. The heat which it produces is more diffused than that from coal, and less intense. Indeed, in all respects as to application to industrial uses, the position of lignite is between those of coal and wood. The attempts hitherto made to render this fuel available for various economic purposes have not been very successful. At Bovey Tracy, in Devonshire, and at Brora, in Sutherlandshire, other beds of lignite occur, and have been partially used; and in various oolitic beds in York- shire similar mineral fuel exists to a small extent. None of these, as at present worked, present any features of considerable interest. Some beds of bituminous shale at Kimmeridge, Dorsetshire, and elsewhere, have been employed chiefly for local purposes. But the lignite of Ireland is far inferior, both in extent and calorific j)ower, to that of Germany, where fuel of this kind exists in several places, and to a vast extent. On the banks of the Rhine, in Nassau and its vicinity, and in the east of Europe, in Silesia, and in parts of Styria, deposits of this kind are exceedingly remarkable, and of great economic importance. Their thickness is sometimes enormously great, reaching to 120 feet, and even more, but the beds are generally detached and small, and more resemble drift accumulations than re- gular deposits. The value of these lignites for the ma- nufacture of iron must ultimately be very considerable, as there exist abundant supplies of iron ore in the imme- diate vicinity of the fuel, both in Austria and on the Rhine, and also in Silesia. The lignites of Germany often exhibit distinct woody structure, and can be referred to coniferous trees. They contain a somewhat large per centage of ash, do not form good and compact charcoal, and will not stand the blast of a blacksmith's forge. They are generally so wet as to require some drying before being used, and when exposed to the air they often crack. In texture they are tough, and sometimes exhibit sufficient remains of their origin as to resist effectually the blow of a hammer, or, if breaking, only parting in the grain of the wood. The change they have undergone has, therefore, been too small to have given them any of the essential characters of true coal, but they still are so far reservoirs of carbon that we cannot doubt of their being ultimately rendered available. 4. Nature and Distribution of Coal. True coal is so much altered from its original vegetable condition as to have left scarcely any traces of its true history. It is generally, however, associated with sands and clays, exhibiting numerous fragments of the ancient vegetation that obtained at the time of its formation; but these fragments are so far removed in every respect with the existing form of vegetation, as to afford little clue to the ancient condition of the earth in this respect. In coal all trace of true woody fibre has disappeared; the water originally present, and so injurious in the less altered forms of vegetable fuel, is entirely absent, or. if present at all, is so rather mechanically than chemically, while the water originally in the plant appears to have un- dergone decomposition, the hydrogen uniting with some pai-t of the carbon to form carburetted hydrogen gas, often existing in the cells and between the plates of the coal, under considerable pressure, and the oxygen being almost entirely removed. The former vegetable has now become a mineral substance, and lies in vast beds of variable thickness, and overlying each other to the extent souie- times of more than a hundred in a single district; such beds being regularly interstratified with deposits of sand and clay, and occupying a distinct geological position, being, with only a very few exceptions, confined to rocks belonging to the newer part of the palseozoic series. Between the Arctic Cii-cle and the Tropic of Cancer repose all the principal carboniferous formations of our planet. Some detached coal deposits, it is true, exist above and below those limits, but they appear, so far as we know, to be of limited extent. Many of these south- ern coal-fields are of doubtful geological age: a few are supposed to approximate to the class of true coals, as they are commonly styled; others are decidedly of the brown coal and tertiary period; while the remainder belong to various intermediate ages, or possess peculiai* characters, which render them of doubtful geological origin. The coals of Melville Island and Byam Martin's Island certainly appear to be of the true coal period. We know that coal exists at numerous intermediate points, from the 75th to the 27th degree of north latitude in America, and also that it is worked on the Sulado and Rio Grande rivers in Mexico, for the use of the steamers. Southward of the Tropic of Cancer, the existence of coal, corresponding with the European and American hard coal, is somewhat uncertain. There seems to be none on the South American continent, imless it be at Ano Paser, which needs confirmation, or in the province of Santa Catherina, in Brazil. On the African continent we have had vague accounts of coal in Ethiopia and at Mozambique, also at Madagascar; and quite recently we have had intelligence of large quantities of coal in the newly-ceded territory above Port Natal, on the eastern side of Africa; but we believe no geologist has examined those sites. In the Chinese and Burmese em- pires only brown coal appears to approach the tropic, but true coal seems to exist in the northern provinces. Southward of the Asiatic continent we are uncertain of the exact character of the coal deposits, such as occur abundantly at Sumatra, Java, and Borneo, and neigh- bouring islands. Coal, however, exists in these islands, and is of fair workable quality. In New South Wales, the great coal-range on the eastern margin of that continent has sometimes been de- scribed as resembling the Newcastle coal in England, and sometimes it is described as of more ancient date. This coal differs essentially from that of any known European formation, but bears a strong resemblance to the Burdwan coal of India. We have not yet arrived at the period when we could pronounce with any approach to certainty on the actual number of coal-basins in the world; the total number must, however, amount at least to from 250 to 300 prin- cipal coal-fields, and many of these are subdivided, by the disturbed position of the strata, into subordinate basins.* These basins or coal districts are, however, grouped into a comparatively small number of districts, and even many of these are little known, and not at all measured. The greater number occur in Western Europe and Eastern North America, while Central and Southern Africa, South America, and a large part of Asia, are totally with- out any trace of true carboniferous rocks. The remarks, therefore, that will follow, chiefly refer to the coal of our own and adjacent countries, or of the United States and British North America. There are various kinds of coal obtained from mines worked in the tx'ue coal-fields, which may be grouped into bituminous coal, steam coal, and anthracite. Of * Taylor's "Statistics of Coal," Introduction, p. xxxvii. the first the cannel is a remarkable variety, the coarser kinds of it being called in Scotland " parrot/' and some- times splint coal. It contains from 40 to nearly 60 per cent, of volatile matter, and the proportion of carbon varies within the same limits. It burns readily, taking fire like a candle, and giving a bright light, and much smoke. The ash varies from about 4 to 10 per cent. This coal yields on destructive distillation a very large quantity of gas, and is profitably used for that purpose. The gas is not only large in quantity, but remarkably pure, and of excellent quality for purposes of illumina- tion. There is a large quantity of this kind of coal in the Scotch.coal-fields, and it has also been found in the Newcastle district, in the Wigan portion of the Lanca- shire coal-field, and in the Yorkshire and Derbyshire coal-fields. America yields cannel coal in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. Cannel coal passes into jet, and may like jet be worked into various ornaments; but it is brittle, and not very hard. The seams are generally rather thin, although there are several im- portant exceptions in which the quantity is very con- siderable. The coal of Belgium from one basin (that of Mons) seems to be of this kind. Another and far more abundant kind of bituminous coal is that obtained abundantly in Northumberland and Durham, and commonly used in London and every- where on the east and south coast of England. This kind is also highly bituminous, burns with much flame, and takes fire readily, but it swells and alters its form while burning, often assuming a striking and very peculiar appeai-ance, illustrated by a column of coke ex- hibited by Mr. Cory, and also by other cokes shown by the coal trade of Northumberland and Durham. This caking coal, as it is called, yields, on an average of several analyses, about 57 per cent, of carbon, about 37'6 volatile matter, and 5 per cent. ash. Its specific gravity is 1*257, but sometimes higher. It leaves a. red ash in an open fire, but requires to be deprived of its volatile matter before being exposed to a strong blast, owing to its tendency to cement together in a solid mass, and prevent a free draft through the grate or furnace in which it is em- ployed. Not only the coals of the Newcastle coal-field in England, but those of France and Belgium generally, of Bohemia, and Silesia, in Europe, and of Ohio, in North America, are of the caking bituminous kind. The coal of Staffordshire, Yorkshire and Derbyshire, Lancashire, North Wales, and many other districts, con- tains nearly or quite as much bituminous and volatile matter as that of Newcastle, but does not cake and swell in the fire, and may, therefore, be employed directly where strong heat is required without previous coking. The coke obtained from this coal is little altered in appearance. The coal burns freely, will flame and give much heat, but is generally considered somewhat inferior for house- hold purposes to that of Newcastle. It yields 50 to 60 per cent, carbon, 35 to 45 volatile matter, and a small quantity, often less than 5 per cent., of ash. The ash is often white. Most of the coals from the inland counties readily show white lines on the edges of the beds, owing to thepressvire of argillaceous earth which efiloresces. In this respect they are less adapted for general use than the Newcastle coal, but many of them are of excellent quality. Next in order to the coals of the midland counties generally, are those of some parts of North Wales, and many districts in South Wales, which contain a larger per centage of carbon, very little volatile matter and bitumen, and often but little ash; which burn, however, freely and without smoke, and are well adapted for steam purposes and the manufacture of iron, or where a strong blast and great heat is required. Such coals exist not only in England, but in France, Saxony, and Belgium to some extent. They are often tender or powdery, dirty-looking, and of comparatively loose tex- ture, but they often stand exposure to the weather without alteration or injury. They are called steam coals, and the inferior kinds are known as culm. They contain carbon 81 to 85, volatile matter 11 to 15, ash 3, or thereabouts. Several varieties well known in commerce are exhibited by different proprietors, and the respective analyses will be found in many cases in the body of the Catalogue. The last kind of coal is that called " anthracite," and it consists almost exclusively of carbon. This coal is also called non-bituminous, as the steam coal is semi-bitumi- nous. The anthracites contain from 80 to upwards of 95 per cent, carbon, with a little ash, and sometimes a certain small per centage of volatile matter. They are heavier than common coal, take fire with difficulty, but give an intense heat when in full combustion with a strong draught. Anthracite occurs abundantly in the western part of South Wales, in the south of Ireland, in France, Saxony, Kussia, and in North America, and the use of them is greatly on the increase. Amongst other things it is used for hop and malt drying, and lime burn- ing with great advantage, but its chief use is in the manufacture of iron. The appearance is often bright, with a shining irregular fracture; the coal is often hard, but some varieties are tender and readily fractured. The ash of anthracitic coal is generally white. As a general rule the anthracites are deficient in hydrogen, but con- tain a certain proportion of oxygen gas. The following table represents the weight of water evaporated by one pound each of several principal varieties of coal, and is, therefore,—other things being the same—a good index of the relative value of these fuels:— Lbs.

This is the case not merely in the total annual production and the proportionate extent of the deposit, but also in the great number of points at which the coal can be advantageously worked. This will be best seen by reference to the table appended. The beds with which the coal is generally associated in the British islands are various sands and shales (imperfect slaty beds) of different degrees of hardness; but the actual coal seams themselves often repose directly on clay of peculiar fineness, well adapted for fire-brick, and generally called under-clay. The under-clay is used in many coal districts for various purposes of pottery. Bands of ironstone (impure argillaceous carbonate of iron) are very abundant in certain coal districts, but are almost absent in others. The Scotch coal-fields near Glasgow, the South Welsh, Yorkshire, and some others, are rich in ironstone, which is the chief source of the vast quantities of iron manufactured in this kingdom. * '* Statistics of Coal," by R.

In each the number of coal-seams is very considerable, but the beds are thin, and so much disturbed as to require special modes of working. The quality of the coal is very various, including one peculiar kind, the Flenu coal, unlike any found in Great Britain, except at Swan- sea. It burns rapidly with much flame and smoke, not giving out an intense heat, and having a somewhat disagreeable smell. There are nearly fifty seams of this coal in the Mons district. No iron has been found with the coal of Belgium. The most important coal-fields of France are those of the basin of the Loire, and of these, St. Etienne is the best known and largest, comprising about 50,000 acres. In this basin are 18 beds of bituminous coal, and in the immediate neighbourhood several smaller basins, con- taining anthracite. Other valuable localities are in Alsace, several in Burgundy, much worked by very deep pits, and of considerable extent; some in Auvergne, with coal of various qualities; some in Languedoc and Pro- vence, with good coal; others at Arveyron; others at Limosin; and some in Normandy. Besides these are many others of smaller dimensions and less extent, whose resources have not yet been developed. The total area of coal in France has not been ascertained, but is pro- bably not less than 2,000 square miles. The annual production is now at least 4,000,000 tons. There are four coal districts in Germany, of the car- boniferous period, besides several districts where more modern lignites occur. The principal localities for true coal are near the banks of the Rhine, in Westphalia; on the Saare, a tributary of the Moselle; in Bohemia; and in Silesia. The total annual production exceeds 2,7 50,000 tons. Of these various localities, Silesia contains very valua- ble and extensive deposits of coal, which are as yet but little worked. The quality is chiefly bituminous, the beds few in number, but very thick, amounting in some cases to 20 feet. Some anthracite is found. Bohemia is even more richly provided than Silesia, the coal measures covering a considerable area and occupying several basins. More than 40 seams of coal are worked, and several of these are from four to six feet thick. The basin of the Saare, a tributary of the Moselle, near the frontier of France, affords a very important and extensive coal-field, which has been a good deal worked, and is capable of great improvement. No less than 103 beds are described, the thickness varying from 18 inches to 15 feet. It is estimated that, at the present rate of exti-action, the basin contains a supply for 60,000 years. On the banks of the Ruhr, a small tributary to the Rhine, entering that river near Dusseldorf, there is another small coal-field, estimated to yield annually nearly 1,000,000 tons. The whole annual supply from Prussia and the German States of the Zollverein, or Customs' Union, is considered to exceed 2,750,000 tons. Hungary and other countries in the east of Europe contain true coal-measures of the carboniferous period; but the resources of these districts are not at present de- veloped. On the banks of the Donetz, in Russia, coal is worked to some extent, and is of excellent quality, but it belongs to the older part of the carboniferous period. Spain contains a large quantity of coal, both bitumi- nous and anthracitic. The richest beds are in the Astu- rias, and the measures are so much broken and altered in position as to be worked by almost vertical shafts through the beds themselves. In one spot upwards of 11 distinct seams have been worked, the thickest of which is nearly 14 feet thick. The exact area is not known, but it has been estimated by a French engineer that about 12,000,000 of tons might be readily extracted from one property, without touching the portion existing at great depths. In several parts of the province the coal is now worked, and the measures seem to resemble those of the coal districts generally. The whole coal area is said to be the largest in Evirope, presenting upwards of 100 workable seams, varying from 3 to 12 feet in thickness. There are in North America four principal coal-areas, compared with which the richest deposits of other coun- tries are comparatively insignificant. These are the great central coal-fields of the Alleghanies; the coal-field of Illinois, and the basin of the Ohio; that of the basin of the Missouri; and those of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Cape Breton. Besides, there are many smaller coal- areas which, in other countries, might well take rank as of vast national importance; and which, even in North America, will one day contribute greatly to the riches of various States. The Alleghany, or Appalachian coal-field, measures 750 miles in length, with a mean breadth of 85 miles, and traverses eight of the principal states in the American Union. Its whole area is estimated at not less than 65,000 square miles, or upwards of 40,000,000 of acres. The coal is bituminous, and used for gas. In Kentucky, both bituminous and cannel-coal are worked in seams about three or four feet thick, the cannel being sometimes associated with the bituminous coal as a portion of the same seam; and there are, in addition, valuable bands of iron ore. In Western Virginia there are several coal- seams of variable thickness, one, nine and a half feet; two others, of five, and others, of three or four feet. On the whole, there seems to be at least forty feet of coal distributed in thirteen seams. In the Ohio district, the whole coal-field affords, on an average, at least six feet of coal. The Maryland district is less extensive, but is re- markable as containing the best and most useful coal, which is worked now to some extent at Frostburg. There appears to be about 30 feet of good coal in four seams, besides many others of less importance. The quality is intermediate, between bituminous and anthra- citic, and it is considered well adapted to iron making. Lastly, in Pennsylvania, there are generally from two to five workable beds, yielding, on an average, about ten feet of workable coal, and amongst them is one bed trace- able for no less than 450 miles, consisting of bituminous coal, its thickness being from twelve to fourteen feet on the south-eastern border, but gradually diminishing to five or six feet. Besides the bituminous coal, there are, in Pennsylvania, the largest anthracitic deposits in the States, occupying as much as 250,000 acres, and divided into three principal districts. The Illinois coal-field in the plain of the Mississippi is only second in importance to the vast area already de- scribed. There are four principal divisions traceable, of which the first, or Indiana district, contains several seams of bituminous coal, distributed over an area of nearly 8,000 square miles. It is of excellent quality for many purposes; one kind burning with much light, and very freely, approaching cannel-coal in some of its properties; other kinds consist of caking, or splint coal. In addition to the Indiana coal-field, there appears to be as much as 48,000 square miles of coal-area in the other divisions of the Illinois district, although these are less known, and not at present much worked. 30,000 square miles are in the state of Illinois, which supplies coal of excellent quality, and with great facility. The coal is generally bituminous. The third great coal-area of the United States is that of the Missouri, which is little known at present, although certainly of great importance. British America contains coal in the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The former presents three coal-fields, occupying in all, no less than 5,000 square miles; but the latter is far larger, and exhibits several very distinct localities where coal abounds. The New Brunswick coal-measures include not only shales and sand- stones, as is usual with such deposits, but bands of lignite, impregnated with vitreous copper ore, and coated by green carbonate of copper. The coal is generally in thin seams, lying horizontally. It is chiefly, or entirely bituminous. In Nova Scotia there are three coal regions, of which the Northern presents a total thickness of no less than 14,570 feet of measures, having 76 seams, whose aggregate magnitude is only 44 feet, the thickest beds being less than four feet. The Pictou, or central district, has a thickness of 7,590 feet of strata, but the coal is far more abimdant, one seam measuring nearly 30 feet; and part of the coal being of excellent quality, and adapted for steam pur- poses. The southern area is of less importance. Besides the Nova Scotia coal-fields, there are three others at Cape Breton, yielding different kinds of coal, of which one—the Sydney coal—is admirably adapted for domestic purposes. There are here 14 seams above three feet thick, one being 11, and one 9 feet. Coal, existing generally in beds of moderate thickness, inclined at a small angle to the horizon, and often at very considerable depth beneath the surface, is extracted most commonly by the aid of pits or shafts sunk to the bed, and galleries (levels or drifts) cut horizontally, or in the plane of the bed to a certain distance. By a number of such galleries, cut at right angles to each other, the whole bed, within certain limits, is completely laid open, the overlying beds being supported by the masses of coal (pillars or columns) left untouched between the galleries. In this way about one-third of the coal can be extracted, and afterwards, on the supporting columns being also re- moved, the roof falls in, and the work is regarded as finished. This method is called technically the pillar and stall method," and is adopted in the Newcastle coal- field. In Yorkshire, and elsewhere, instead of such columns being left, the coal is removed entirely, and at once, without columns; the roof falling behind the work as it advances. This is the long-wall method. Other modes are occasionally followed when the condition of the coal requires it. Owing to the gaseous substances contained in coal, and given off not only on exposure to heat, but also to a cer- tain extent by pressure, many kinds of coal cannot safely be left during the process of extraction, without some defence from the open lights required by the miner in the mechanical operations of removing the coal from its bed, and conveying it to the pit bottom. An explosive gaseous compound is readily produced by the admixture of the gases given off by the coal, with common air, made to cir- culate through the workings, and, if neglected, this com- pound accumulates and travels on till it meets with flame, and then explodes, causing frightful destruction not only to the property of the mine-owner, but also to the life of the miner. Many contrivances have been suggested from time to time; on the one hand, to improve the ventila- tion of the mines, and on the other, providing means of illumination which would render accidents from explosion less probable, by removing the immediate cause. Ex- amples of both will be found amongst the models and instruments exhibited in this class, and to these the reader is referred. It is not likely that any contrivances can render absolutely safe an employment which of necessity involves so many and such serious risks as are connected with coal-mining; but much may, no doubt, be done to diminish the danger both from imperfect ventila- tion and open light. In concluding this notice of mineral fuel, it may be worth while to draw attention to the vast and overwhelm- ing importance of the subject, by a reference both to the absolute and relative value of the material, especially in the British Islands. It may be stated as probably within the true limit, if we take the annual produce of the British coal-mines at 35,000,000 tons, the value of which is not less than 18,000,000/. sterling, estimated at the place of consumption, and therefore including, to a certain amount of transport cost, necessary to render available, the raw material. At the pit mouth the value of the coal is probably about half this, or 9,000,000/. sterling, and the capital employed in the coal trade is es- timated at 10,000,000/. The average annual value of all the gold and silver produced throughout the world has been estimated to have amounted, in 1847, to nearly thirteen millions and three quarters sterling. We have therefore the following summary, which will not be without interest:— Value of the coal annually raised in £. Great Britain, estimated at the pit ■ mouth 9,000,000 Mean annual value at the place of consumption 18,000,000 Capital engaged in the coal trade . 10,000,000 Mean annual value of the precious metals obtained from North and South America and Russia . . 5,000,000 Total value of precious metals raised throughout the world in 1847 . 13,710,000 Mean annual value at the furnace, of iron produced from British coal . 8,000,000 (See the adjoining map for the relative positions of the coal-fields of Europe, and of the United States, and British North America.) INTRODUCTION. The results of the science directly illustrated by tliis Class will probably be more generally appreciated than the means by which such results are attained. But these are not to be sought among the chemical and phar- maceutical i)roducts, any more than are the beautiful mechanisms of other Classes to be found m association v/ith the raw mineral which supplied the material for their formation. This Class is principally contained in the South Galleky, and is most conveniently reached by ascending the stair near the south entrance at the transept. The objects in the Class are immediately encountered on gaining the Gallery. The Class is divisible into the following heads :—A. Chemical substances used in manu- facture. B. Rarer chemical substances for the scientific chemist; and C. Chemical substances used in medicine. The objects in this Class do not admit of more than a general grouping, into the chemicals of the chemical factories, and the more delicate and refined compounds produced in the laboratory. The former of these, inclu- sive of large specimens of alum, protosulphate of iron (copperas), and soda are interesting as representing a department of British commerce which has grown into importance within a very recent period. The manu- facture, especially of caustic and carbonate of soda on the great scale, has originated and developed itself in a degree almost unparalleled in the history of commerce within twenty or thirty years of the present time. The fires of the kelp burners on the shores of the islands of Scotland are scarcely now extinct, when vast factories, employing large numbers of individuals appear to produce in enormous quantities the same alkali, which was until recently scantily derived from the fused ashes of marine plants. The manufacture of this alkali, by an ingenious decomposition of common salt by the simple aid of sulphuric acid, chalk, sawdust, and coal, is now prosecuted to a vast extent for the supply of the industrial arts generally, the quantity used in medicine and pharmacy being comparatively insignificant. At some alkali works fifty and sixty tons and upwards of common salt are decomposed every week, and converted into caustic or carbonate of soda. The alum factories are not less extensive. At those establishments crystallizations on a scale emulating those of nature are constantly in progress. Some very large specimens of these crystals, and of those of other chemical compounds are placed in the Centjial Avenue, some of the masses being 8 feet in height. The manufacture of sulphuric acid, and of the compounds used by the dyer and calico-printer, also occupies a prominent feature of commercial enterprise. The prussiates of potash forming large masses of yellow and red crystals, and the green, but perish- able crystals of copperas, are illustrations of substances largely used in the arts, and the colours and dyes pro- duced by their assistance, present themselves in every direction, when the classes relating to textile printed fabrics are examined. The chemical works of this country are principally situated at Liverpool, at Newcastle-ujDon-Tyne, and at Glasgow. The area of ground occupied by some of them equals that covered by the Exhibition Building, and in the various departments as many as five or six steam-engines are employed. The chimneys of these works are in one or two instances 500 feet in height, and the workmen employed form a little population resident in the immediate vicinity of the works. The application of scientific chemistry to the purposes of medicine is scarcely less recent than the commercial development of chemical manufacture. Medicinal substances appeared for a period to have been overlooked by the chemist, and little attention was given to their preparation. This cannot now be said. The specimens of vegeto-alkaloids, the minerals used in pharmacy and of their compounds—of beautiful crystalline forms, indicate the progress made in the application of philosophic chemistry to the production of pharmaceutical pre- parations. A variety of compounds obtained by delicate chemical reactions, and from substances requiring great carefulness in manipulation, are also included in this Class. The whole Class, though not an extensive one, represents the growing attention of men of eminence to chemistry as a manufacture ; and of men of science to the application of chemical philosophy to the processes carried on on the smaller scale in the laboratory. The same facilities which exist in this country for the pro- secution of other departments of commercial and industrial enterprise have carried chemical manufactures to their present important and commanding position. The direct dependence of many of the arts upon the existence of and the accuracy of production in these chemical works cannot now be questioned.—R. E. Class 2.—CHEMTOAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS.

The properties of this new Pi-ussian blue make it valu- able as a writing fluid and a dye; and the pure iodide of potassium, produced by this new process, is found to possess advantages in the preparation of calotype paper. In the preceding experiment water is not decomposed, and there is no formation of hydriodic acid; but iodine appears to play the part of oxygen, and imparts to the Prussian blue the same rich tone that is obtained from a per-salt of iron. Without excess of iodine, the preci- pitate is nearly white, but rapidly absorbs oxygen from the atmosphere, and is soluble. 4 Buckley, J., the Trustees of the late, Manchester— Manufacturers.

The cement is hydraulic ; the affinity of oxide of zinc for oxygen prevents the oxidization of any iron, and its deleterious efiect on vegetation prevents the growth of moss on it surface. [Iron pyrites may be made to yield at least two valu- able chemical products, sulphur-, and sulphate of iron, or copperas. The first is obtained by heat, sulphate of iron by simply exposing the iron pyrites, which is a bisulphuret of h^on, to the weather. The mass absorbs oxygen from the air, a sulphate' of iron is formed, and is washed out and crystallized. The shale or scliist employed in the alum manufacture is a slaty clay found both overlying and underlying coal strata, and containing much pyrites.— R.

New colouring matters, and preparations for printing and dyeing in cotton, linen, silk, and wool. - Specimens of printing and dyeing by means of the pre- parations. Ultramarine, in different qualities. [Lapis lazuli is usually found in granite and crystalline limestone. The finely-coloured varieties are employed for vases, in mosaics and furniture, and are much prized. The pigment ultramarine is prepared from the mineral, by slightly igniting it, shaking the mass in water, and after reducing it to fine powder, mixing it with a resinous paste. This paste is then kneaded in cold water, which washes out the ultramarine, the impurities being retained by the paste. From the costliness of ultramarine its use was formerly confined to the artist; since, however, the discovery by M. Grumet (guided by the analysis of the pigment by MM. Clement and Desormes) of a method of preparing it artificially, its price has become gradually so much reduced as to admit of its very general employ- ment in the arts. For, although M. Grumet kept his process a secret, M. Gmelin and other chemists have published prescriptions for its production, and its manu- facture has been of late years much extended, particu- larly in Germany, though only very recently introduced into England. Ultramarine is a very permanent colour under atmospheric influences, but is decolorized by the presence of acids with liberation of hydro-sulphuric acid; hence, in its employment, the presence of acids should be avoided. Artificial ultramarine may be prepared, ac- I of equal parts of silica, carbonate of soda, and sulphur, first adding a sufficient quantity of a solution of soda to dissolve the silica. The result is a bluish-green mass, which, by ignition in contact with air, becomes blue. Ultramarine consists essentially of silica, alumina, soda, and sulphur; a small quantity of iron appears to be bene- ficial, but an excess impairs the beauty of the colour.— W. D. L.

[The tree which yields camphor is Laurus camphor a. Japan camphor is considered the best, and is imported in tubs into the United Kingdom, but not in large quantities. Crude camphor from China is principally obtained from the island of Formosa, whence its com- mercial designation. Crude camphor is obtained from the trees yielding it by chopping up the branches and boiling them in water, when the camphor is separated either by cooling or sublimation. It is refined in this country by being re-sublimed.—R. E.] Refined borax, and articles from which it is made:—1, South Galleky. Tincal, or natural borax. 4, Artificial tincal. 5, East India refined borax. 6, English refined borax. 7, Modi- fied crystals. 8^ Octohedral borax. [The origin of boracic acid is extremely interesting. Its principal sources are the celebrated lagoons of Tus- cany, where it is obtained by a singularly simple and ingenious process. It rises with steam from the heated earth in a region where volcanic tumult is conspi- cuously manifest, and was formerly avoided by the super- stitious peasantry in its vicinity. This steam is condensed by being passed into basins partly filled with water, the boracic acid is held in solution, purified, evaporated, and crystallized. From 10,000 to 12,000 lbs. of this acid are thus obtained every day. Boracic acid is chiefly employed as a source of borax. Borax consists chemically, when pure, of a biborate of soda. It is, in its impure state, the tincal of commerce, and is obtained in large quanties from a lake in Thibet, on the edges of which it crystallizes, and is collected by the natives. It is also procured from lakes in China and Persia. The greater part of the borax of commerce is obtained from the saturation of boracic acid with soda. Borax is greatly used in the arts as a flux, and for glazing porcelain; also in medicine, and pyrotechny for making ''green fire."—R.

[Mtrate of silver, commonly called Lunar caustic, is a preparation obtained by the solution of metallic silver in jiitric acid. Chemical union takes place, and the solution being evaporated and crystallized, a solid nitrate is ob- tained. This is, for medical purposes, fused and run into moulds. This compound of silver, in a pure state, is of special value as a re-agent to the chemist; it is also extremely useful in the hands of the physician and surgeon. Very pure crystallized nitrate of silver is employed for the production of photographic pictures on paper, glass, and porcelain.

Magnesia and preparations :--l, Magnesian shale. 2, Magnesian limestone. 3, Epsom salts. 4, Carbonate of magnesia. 5, Calcined magnesia. [The well-known substance called Epsom Salts is an important preparation of magnesia. It is, in some in- stances, procured by an ingenious system of employing the residual hydrochloric acid of alkali works, which is made to act upon native magnesian limestone; the lime is dis- solved out by the acid, and the residual matter, consist- ing chiefly of magnesia, is dissolved in sulphuric acid, purified and crystallized. In other cases it is largely obtained by simply acting upon magnesian limestone with diluted sulphuric acid; it is also obtained from the resi- dual salts of sea-water, from which common salt has been separated.—R.

[The difference in the chemical composition of the pot- ashes and pearlashes of commerce, is, that the one is chiefiy a caustic form of the alkali, and the other contains more of the carbonate. Both are alike derived from tho combustion of wood, America is the chief source of this alkali at present. Her immense primeval forests, upon which the efforts of man make but little impression, present an inexhaustible source of this valuable alkali. The wood is piled up in a pyramidal heap, and the ashes are collected, partly purified, and fused. Pearlash is prepared from the ''black salts," or impure caustic and carbonated alkali, by fusion in an open furnace. Potash is largely employed in medicine and the arts. About 100,000 cwt. are annually imported into Great Britain from America alone.—R. E.] Preparations of sodium:—1. Soda ash. 2. Subcarbon- ate of soda. 3. Subcarbonate of soda, absolutely pure. 4.

Purified nitrate of soda. 12. Glauber salts. 13. Hyposulphate of soda. [The last-named preparation of soda—^hyposulphate of soda—is a substance of great importance and peculiar interest to the photographer. It is readily soluble in water, and the solution dissolves, with great facility, the compounds of silver. After a Daguerreotype picture has been taken and developed bj mercurial vapour, the coat- ing of iodide and bromide of silver formed on the surface of the plate is instantly dissolved by washing it with this solution. The picture is afterwards dried and gilded. In the Talbotype, hyposulphate of soda is employed to remove the sensitive coating of silver, and thus fix the impressions so as to render them insensible to the further influence of light.—R.

[At the foot of the Campsie hills there occur two or three beds of coal of the South Scotch coal-field, and some beds of alum slate, which decompose on exposure to the air. The beds have been much disturbed, and often exhibit intruded masses of trap. In preparing the alum obtained in an impure state from the decomposition of the bituminous and pyritous schist, much careful management is necessary. The admixture of a certain quantity of muriate of potash in these processes, renders the whole rather a mineral ma- nufacture than a simple preparation of raw material.— D. T.

Bones dissolved in sulphate of magnesia, for a manure. [Alum is manufactured at Whitby, by the combustion of the schists of the upper lias, which contain a certain quantity of iron pyrites and bituminous, or carbonaceous matter. The temperature being properly regulated, and water occasionally supplied, a double decomposition takes jilace, producing sulphate of alumina and sulphate of iron, together wdth a portion of sulphate of magnesia, if any magnesia is present in the alum schist. A subse- quent separation of the ingredients takes place. A certain quantity of the sulphate or muriate of potash is added, and the alum is crystallized. Alum is a triple salt consisting of a hydrated sulphate of alumina and pot- ash, soda, or ammonia; but a portion of the alumina is occasionally replaced by iron.—D. T. A.] 18 Pattinson, William Watson, Gateshead, Neiccastle-jipon-Ty7ie—Manufacturer. Large mass of crystallized alum, or sulphate of alumina and potash. Masses of pure sulphate of alumina, called in commerce concentrated alum. Specimen of bi-carbo- nate of soda.—Manufactured at the Felling Chemical works. [The alum of English commerce is obtained in large quantities from manufactories at Whitby, in Yorkshire. A horizontal bed of fuel, composed of brushwood or of small coal, is first made, and upon it pieces of aluminous rock are jailed. The fuel being kindled, the whole mass slowly ignites. More rock is piled upon it, until, in some instances, a vast heap of inflamed material, 100 feet high and 200 feet square, is raised, and continues to burn for months. The aluminous schist benig thus disinte- grated, and its chemical constitution changed, is lixiviated, the solution evaporated in large cisterns and purified, and sulphate of potash or ammonia is then added. The alum thus formed is dissolved, and crystallized by pouring the solution into casks made with moveable staves, called " rocheing casks." On removing the staves, an apparently solid barrel of alum is exposed. This is pierced with an instrument near the bottom, when the uncrystal- lized solution runs out. The mass, broken into lumps and dried, is the alum of commerce. The shipments of alum from 'WT;iitby in 1841 amounted to 3,237 tons. Ahmi is employed in medicine, in chemistry, and in the arts. Its most important use is as a mordant for dyers.— R. E.] 19 Richardson Brothers & Co., 17 St. Helen's Place, and 11 East Street, City Road—Manufacturers.

Cake of sesqui-carbonate of ammonia, or common smelling salts, sublimed from rough sesqui-carbonate of ammonia, made by the decomposition of sulphate of ammonia by carbonate of lime; the ammonia being pro- duced at gas-works. [Nitrate of soda has lately assumed high commercial importance from its value to the chemical manufacturer, and to the agriculturist as a mannj-e for wheat. It is found in immense quantities in South Peru, being ob- tained by lixiviation of the saline deposit in the soil, and is then evaporated and crystallized, dried and packed in bags, and conveyed to the coast by mules. In 1841, the imports of this article from Iquique amounted to 173,884 quintals. The term ''kelp" is applied to the fused ashes of several species of sea-weeds. The plants are collected, dried, and burnt, and the ashes form a melted mass, con- sisting of sulphates, carbonates, and chlorides of potash and soda, together with carbonate and sulphate of lime, alumina, and silica.—R.

The restored half, " without having been separated from the dirty half," cleansed, and flexibility imparted to it: having become hard, horny, and brittle, from the effects of the fire and water, any ordinary attempt to open it would have broken it. The writing on it has sustained no injury by the process. Two leaves of a book, two leaves of the ''Jurist" newspaper, and portions of parchment taken from the same fire, which were injured by fire, water, &c., are exhibited, with the one-half of each cleansed; also the halves cleansed of a map and several engravings injured by age, smoke, mildew, water, and dirt, &c., the whole having been previously in the dirty state. 27 Bramwell, Thomas, Heworth Chemical Works, Newcastle-upon- Tyne—Manufacturer.

Chromic acid is a compound of the metal chromium and oxygen of a fine red colour: it parts readily with half its oxygen, and hence is a powerful oxidizing and bleach- ing agent. The salts of chromic acid are tei^med chro- mates, they are chiefly of a yellow colovir; the chromates of baryta, strontia, and lead are beautiful yellow pig- ments much used in distemper and oil painting and printing. Aconitine is a poisonous vegetable alkaloid, obtained from aconite (wolfstane, monkshood); it is used as a remedy in neviralgia. Valerianic acid (valeric acid) is a volatile acid belong- ing to the same class as acetic acid: it is obtained by oxidizing hydrated oxide of amyle (oil of potato spirit), as acetic acid (vinegar) is obtained by oxidizing hydrated oxide of ethyle (alcohol). It exists ready formed in the aromatic root of the Valeriana officinalis, from which it is obtained by distillation vdth water. Valerianates (va- lerate) are compounds of valerianic acid with bases. Used as a nervous stimulant. Formyle is a compound of carbon and hydrogen: it bears the same relation to wood spirit (hydrated oxide of methyle), as acetyle does to ordinary alcohol (hydrated oxide of ethyle) : it is the radical of formic acid, as acetyle is of acetic acid. Its compounds with iodine and bromine are iodoform and bromoform.

[This Valerianic acid and series of its salts, have been manufactured by the exhibitor, in the laboratory of Messrs. Savory & Moore, New Bond Street. Valerianic acid was discovered some years since, by Prince Lucien Buona- parte, and by him successfully introduced into medicine. It is of considerable interest to the chemist from the fact of its having been artificially prepared by M. Dumas, by acting upon amylic alcohol (oil of corn spirit) with caustic potash. The valerianic acid is naturally contained in the volatile oil obtained by the distillation of the valerian root, in very small proportions. The same acid, however, may be pro- duced artificially, by the indirect oxidation of the fusel- oil separated from crude spirits in the process of rectifica- tion, which is the cause of the whiskey flavor of grain spirit before rectification. The fusel-oil is heated with a large proportion of caustic potass, when hydrogen is disengaged and valerianate of potash remains. The acid is easily separated from the remaining valerianate of potash by distillation with sulphuric acid. This ofiers a beautiful and striking example of the artificial formation of an acid naturally formed by the process of vegetation of the ofiicinal valerian. It has the same composition and properties as the latter, and may therefore be advantageously substituted for it in all pharmaceutical preparations. The valerianates comprised in the series exhibited, were prepared with the artificial acid and obtained by oxidising the amylic alcohol with chromic acid; it is a colourless oily fluid, having a peculiar and disagreeable odour, and possesses all the properties and qualities of that which is obtained from the root of valerian; it forms soluble salts with bases, which are distinguished by the disagreeable smell of the acid, and also by a sweetish taste. The first specimen in the series con- sists of the pure acid; then follow the salts, being twenty-three in number, namely,—those of potash, soda, ammonia, baryta, strontia, lime, magnesia, alumina. chromium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, sesqui-oxide of hon, zinc, silver, sub-oxide of mercury, bismuth, copper, cadmium, antimony, quinine, morphia, and the oxide of ethyle (valerianic ether). Of these the potash salt resem- bles phosphorus in appearance, is soft like it, and when cut has a waxy lustre, is deliquescent, and when struck with any hard body produces a peculiar metallic sound, somewhat like that occasioned when a ball of camphor is struck in a similar manner. The valerianate of soda is in masses made up of small crystals and is deliquescent. The valerianate of ammonia, also in crystals, and like- wise deliquescent; of baryta, and of strontia also crystal- line ; of lime in crystalline scales; of alumina as a white powder; of chromium as a grey, of nickel as a green, and of cobalt as a beautiful peach-coloured powder; of man- ganese in fine rose-coloured scales; the persalt of hon, orange yellow, pulverulent, and sohxble in alcohol; zinc as a granular crystalline powder; silver as a grey, mercury and bismuth white powders; copper blue and pulverulent; cadmium in white crystalline scales; antimony white and pulverulent; quinine, in no definitely formed crystals; morphia, in fine tufts of acicular crystals. The valei^ianic ether is a colourless fiuid of a penetrating and disagree- able odour, its specific gravity is 0 894. Of the fore- going the valerianates of zinc, iron, and quinine have been the most extensively and the most advantageously used in medicine, and there exists no doubt but that those of potash, soda, ammonia, bismuth, oxide of ethyle, and other bases may be also very beneficially employed by the physician.] 46 Parrott, W., 7 Cleveland Street—Producer.

Specimen of salt cake (sulphate of soda), made in brick furnaces, with complete condensation of the muriatic acid evolved. Specimen of bleaching powder, made from the muriatic acid condensed. [Bleaching powder is procured by exposing, in a stone chamber, powdered hydrate of lime, or slaked lime, to the fumes of chlorine gas, developed from a mixture of bin- oxide of manganese, coloride of rodium (common salt), and diluted sulphuric acid. After aji exposure of certain leng-th, the lime absorbs, and appears to combine with the chlorine, which it afterwards retains. It is, therefore, valuable for all purposes where the powerfully bleaching effects of chlorine are required, and is employed in vast quantities in the calico bleach-works, and similar esta- blishments for the bleaching of linen and other goods.— R.

Specimens of white-lead paint, or ceruse, yellow chromate of lead, and red di-chromate of lead; manufac- tured by a new process, and solely in the humid way. The usual mode of converting blue lead into white lead, by the action of acetic acid, occupies six weeks or two months, whereas by the new process the same end is attained in one day, without endangering the health of the workmen. [White lead is the well-known pigment, which when ground in linseed oil is used in house painting. It is a carbonate of lead, generally containing hydrated oxide of lead, which is sometimes combined in the proportion of one atom of hydrated oxide to two of carbonate of lead. The most usual method (the Dutch) of manufacturing white-lead is likewise the oldest. It consists in exposing lead to the joint action of acetic acid vapour, moist air, and carbonic acid gas. The lead is cast in the form of stars or gratings, and supported a little above the bottom of earthen pots (in shape like garden pots), into each or which a small quantity of weak acetic acid is placed. Tho South Gallery. pots are then built up in alternate layers, with spent tanner's bark, until a stack is formed; each layer of pots being covered with boards. The fermentation, which soon takes place in the tan, serves the double purpose of fur- nishing carbonic acid, and raising the temperature of the stack, which reaches 140° Fah. After a lapse of six or eight weeks the metallic, or blue lead, as it is called, is converted into porcelain-like masses of white lead, which are levigated in water, washed and dried. About 16,000 tons are annually made in England by this process. A. very small quantity of acetic acid suffices for the conver- sion of a large amount of metallic into white-lead; as, after it has combined with a portion of lead oxide to form neutral acetate of lead, this salt dissolves another atom of lead oxide, which is removed by the carbonic acid as carbonate of lead, and the neutral acetate set free, again to take up a fresh portion of newly-formed oxide of lead, produced by the action of the air on the metallic lead. Most of the new processes depend on similar reactions, with this difference, that oxide of lead (litharge) is em- ployed instead of metallic lead: it is either made into a paste, with a small quantity of acetate of lead and water, or else dissolved either in a solution of neutral acetate, or neutral nitrate of lead, and submitted to the action of carbonic acid, produced by the combustion of coke or charcoal, which precipitates the dissolved litharge, leaving the acetate or nitrate at liberty to dissolve fresh portions. Another of the new plans consisted in precipitating a neutral salt of lead (the nitrate, for example) with an alkaline carbonate.—W. D. L. R.] 60 JoHNSOsr, J. R., 12 Bcmhside—Inventor.

The colour produced is said not to equal that of madder in brilliance and permanence."—R. E.] 61 Scott, Langston, 41 Moorgate Street— Manufactui^er. Large vase and small glasses containing white oxide of zinc. Various small painted boards. Patent white zinc is principally used for house-painting in lieu of white-lead as being less noxious; but may be applied in the manufacture of crystals, paper-staining, card-enamelling, bleaching of lace, glazing of ware, for the down of artificial flowers, &c. It possesses great whiteness, gives a fresh tone to all colours, renders the paint or material prepared impervious to the action of gases, damp, &c., reflects artificial light, and preserves the materials. It is produced by destructive distillation, from zinc ore, or spelter, which is principally imported in large flat slabs from Silesia, Galicia, and Prussia: Rus- sia, Belgium, and China send smaller supplies; the great European depot is Hamburgh.

[Indigo is the produce of plants belonging chiefly to different species of indigo-tree ; it is also obtained, to a smaller extent, from others. The state in which it exists in the juice of these plants is not well understood. It appears to be in the form of a colourless, soluble com- pound, and is generally obtained by fermenting the bruised plant, during which ammonia is evolved, and a yellow liquor obtained, which, on the addition of lime- water, and exposure to the air, deposits the insoluble blue substance called indigo. For the purposes of dyeing, the indigo is dissolved in sulphuric acid, with which it forms a distinct chemical compound.—E. F.] 7 & 8. Red and blue orchil paste. 9 & 10.

They are carefully cleaned, and ground into a pulp with water, an ammoniacal liquor is from time to time added, and the mass constantly stirred, in order to expose it as much as possible to the action of the air. Peculiar substances existing in these plants are, during this process, so changed by the com- bined action of the atmosphere, water, and ammonia, as to generate the colouring matter, which, when perfect, is pressed out, and gypsum, chalk, or other substances are then added, so as to give it the desired consistency; they are then prepared for the market under the forms now exhibited. - E.

This latter is a resinoid substance, the result of a secretion of several different plants—the Ficus Indica, F. religiosa, Croton lacciferum, and others—occasioned by the punc- tures of a small insect (the Coccus ficus) made for the purpose of depositing its ova. The branches become encrusted with a reddish-coloured concretion, which consists of the inspissated juice of the plant, imbued with a peculiar colouring matter derived from the insect. The preparation of them is usually carried out in India, the remaining substances, seed-lac and shell-lac, being also articles of commerce. The colouring matter, or dye, is extensively used as a substitute for cochineal.—E. F.] 36. Ground Bengal turmeric. [Prepared fi'om the roots of the Curcuma long a.

[Those substances which prevent the decay of wood by chemical means, are generally such as combine with its nitrogenoLis principles, and in such a manner as to pre- vent or retard those principles from undergoing putrefac- tive change. Experience has fully proved the fact that the ordinary duration of unprepared wood exposed to causes of decomposition varies with different kinds, but that decay ultimately takes place in all. By the satura- tion of timber with different fluids, it is possible to avert or defer considerably these changes, and to communicate to the wood a durability far exceeding that originally possessed by it.—R.

Its botanical name is Hamulus lupulus. Of malt, the year 1842 produced in England andWf^les, alone, nearly 31,000,000 bushels, the duty on which amounted to 4,176,742/.—R. E.] 92 Godfrey & Cooke, 31 Southampton Street, Covent Garden, and 30 Conduit Street—Manufacturers. Carmine, the colouring matter of cochineal (Coccus cacti). Lake, from cochineal, soluble in alkalies and am- monia. Oxide of bismuth. Carbonate of ammonia, the basis of smelling salts, spirit of sal volatile, &c. Oil of amber. Salt of amber. Artificial musk, and tincture of artificial musk. Watchmakers' oil, for fine machinery. Spirit of sal volatile. Essence of ambergris. Tincture of myrrh, and sundry drugs and chemicals. [The beautiful pigment. Carmine, is a result of the pre- cipitation of an infusion of the cochineal insect (Coccus cacti) in water, by means of alum. The carmine of com- merce is so costly an article, that it is seldom to be met with in a state of purity. Pure carmine dissolves in am- monia. It is said, by some manufacturers, that a bright and clear state of the atmosphere is necessary to the pre- paration of carmine of the most brilliant colour.—R. E.] 93 Squire, Peter, 277 Oxford Street—Inventor and Manufacturer. A variety of pharmaceutical extracts and preserved juices of medicinal plants. Liquor of taraxacum (dan- delion). Solution of bi-meconate of morphia. Fluid ex- tract of Jamaica sarsaparilla. Cod-liver oil. Red rose leaves (dried without heat). Fine crystals of red ferro- prussiate of potash. Large perfect crystals of yellow ferro-prussiate of potash. [Pharmaceutical extracts were, for a considerable period, the most fallacious of all medicinal preparations. The high temperature to which they were subjected in the manufacture destroyed the active principle sought to be concentrated. Of late they have been prepared, in some instances, by evaporation in the cold; a current of air being driven over the surface of the liquid. They are also safely obtainable by using an apparatus similar to that employed in the sugar manufacture.—R. E.] A chloroform and ether inhaler. An apparatus for preparing infusions. 94 Smith, T. & H., 21 Duke Street, Edinburgh, and 69 Cole- man Street—Inventors and Manufacturers. Specimens of aloine, the cathartic piinciple of the aloes, discovered by the exhibitors in 1850; of gallic acid, in crystals; of crystallized mannite, extracted from dandelion root; of crystallized mannite, extracted from monkshood root, also discovered by the exhibitors in 1850; and of cantharidine, in crystals, the blistering principle of the Spanish fly, one part being equal to 400 parts of the powder of Spanish flies. 95 Bass, James, 81 Hatton Garden—Inventor. Specimens of concentrated medicinal infusions and decoctions, intended to obviate the inconveniences con- nected with infusions and decoctions as usually prepared. [The infusions of medicinal substances prepared in the ordinary way are extremely liable to decomposition, and soon become covered with fungi. The concentration of such infusions in a form in which they can be preserved for some time is consequently of importance. The prepa- rations are used medicinally by dilution with water; the infusions in their concentrated form preserving a degree of strength above that which it is advisable to adopt for medicines in their administration.—R, E.] 96 McCuLLOCH, Charles, Covent Garden Market— Producer. English and American herbs and roots. 97 TuSTlAN, J., Melcombe, near Banbury— Manufacturer. Petals of the red rose. Confection of the red rose. Extract of henbane. 98 TusTiAN & Usher, Melcombe, near Banbury— Manufacturers. English rhubarb, trimmed and untrimmed, and in powder. [Many attempts have been made to cultivate in Europe the rhubarb plant for the sake of its medicinal roots. In France, more especially, a place called Rheumpoli has been the scene' of a great experiment in this culture; and in the like manner Banbury, in Oxfordshire, has long been celebrated in the source of English supply. All these European rhubarbs have been found very inferior to that imported from Asia, the natural country of the drug.—J. L.] 99 Jennings, H. C, 97 Leadenhall Street—Producer. Starch, gums, and vegetable wax, from potato and wheat starch. 100 HoPWOOD, Henry, Richmond, Surrey—Proprietor.

Paul's Churchyard— Importer. Kuosso, from Abyssinia {Brayera anthelrnintica').—The blossom of a tree 20 feet high, the native remedy so much esteemed for the removal of tape worm.—Dis- covered by Dr. Brayer. Sarsaparilla, from Paraguay (Smilax Papyracea).—The finest species of sarsaparilla known. The product of which has been foimd to possess valuable medicinal pro- perties, especially in its direct efficacy on the system, in the cure of a number of chronic complaints. Introduced by Dr. H. Scott. Radix Jalapae and Croci in Foeno, from Asia Minor.— Exhibited as the first medicinal products of these species imported from that countiy. Matico.—The new medicinal styptic, and vegetable astringent; efficacious in the suppression of haemorrhage from wounds, leech bites, dysentery, diarrhoea, and the South Gallery. dangerous prognostics of cholera, introduced by the late Dr. JefFrys, of Liverpool. 103 Watts, John, 107 Edgware Road—Manufacturer. Daphne Mezereum, bark of the root and stem. Daphne Laureola, bark of the root and stem. Cod-liver oil, made without water. Oleine of cod-liver oil.

Powdered hemlock, the leaves of the flowering plant. Powdered foxglove, the leaves of the flowering plant. 104 Duncan, Flockhart, & Co., Edinburgh— Manufacturers. Specimen of chloroform. [The inestimable results which have attended the intro- duction of the aneesthetic or painless mode of operating in surgery, renders the principal medical product em- ployed highly interesting. For this purpose it is inhaled from various forms of apparatus, and the inhalation is continued at intervals during the period of operation. Chloroform is obtained by distilling alcohol with a solu- tion of chloride of lime. Its peculiar fruity odour has also rendered it available for the production of artificial fruit essences.—R. E.] 105 Lea, Alfred, 150 Oxford Street—Inventor. Specimen of myrrhine, a preparation for medical use. 106 MoRSON, Thomas N. R., & Son, 19 Southampton Row, and Hornsey Road—Manufacturers. Specimens of crystallized salts of morphine, strichnine, cinchonie, with the pure alkaloids from which they are obtained, of pure aconita and veratric, gallic, tannic, and meconic acids, pyro-gallic and pyro-meconic acids, kreo- sote, &c. [To the chemist the preparations known as alkaloids, or vegeto-alkaloids, present many features of peculiar in- terest. They are also of the highest medicinal impoi-t- ance, acting, as many of them do, with extraordinary power over the animal economy, and supplying to the physician remedies of such energetic action as to enable him, in many cases, to reduce the bulk of medicine from an inconvenient and uncertain, to a convenient form. The crystallization of the vegeto-alkaloids is peculiarly beautiful, and their chemical constitution is extremely complicated. Morphia, quina, strychnia, and brucia, are among these peculiar products, and possess intense medicinal energies.—R. E.] 107 Macfarlan, John Fletcher, & Co., 17 North Bridge, Edinburgh—Manufacturers. Series illustrative of the manufacture of the salts of morphia, embracing opium, impure muiiate of morphia, pure muriate, and sulphate of morphia. Specimens of gallic and tannic acids, embracing galls; tannic acid, impure and pure; gallic acid, impure; com- mercial, pure. Specimens of sulphate of bebeerin, from green-heart bark, embracing the bark, and impure and commercial fiulphate and of the alkaloid. [Green-heart bark is yielded by the Bebeeru tree of Guiana. Its active principle, bebeerin, is employed in the form of sulphate, as a febrifuge tonic.—R. E.] 108 Pound, Matthew, 198 Oxford Street—Importer and Manufacturer. Imports from Calcutta: Indian bael, bela, bilva,matrura; the sliced and dried half-ripe fruit of the ^gie Marmelos, a native of the East Indies, more particularly the Malabar coast; a perfect ripe fruit also accompanies it. Extract of bael; combining all its properties, soluble both in spirit and water. Wine of bael, prepared with sherry; its medicinal properties consist in a modification of tan- nin, combined with a large proportion of mucilaginous and aromatic principle. Bark of the root of the ^gle marmelos, much esteemed on the Malabar coast for me- lancholia, hypochondriasis, &c. Soap berries, the fruit of a Sapindus; used in the East Indies instead of soap for washing. Capsules of the same, the portion in which its peculiar properties exist ; its medicinal preparations are the tincture and extract of the capsules, which are tonic and detersive. Jujube fruit, from the Zizyphus vulgaris of the south of Europe—imported from Paris; its properties are nutri- tive, mucilaginous, and pectoral, and from the jelly of this fruit the jujubes of commerce are prepared. Flaked cold cream. Ammonia tartrate of iron; ferri ammonio tartras; tartrate of iron and ammonia, atonic. [^gle marmelos, called ''Bel" in India, and by the English ''Bengal quince," is a shrub of the orange tribe, producing a very delicious fruit, the astriugent rind of which affords a yellow dye. The soap-worts to which the genus Sapindus belongs are tropical plants. The fruit of many species of Sapindus is used as a substitute for soap, as Sapindus saponaria, a West Indian plant, and Sapindus acuminata, LaurifoUus emarginatus, and Detergens, all East Indian plants. The species alluded to by the exhibitor is probably that last named. The jujubes of the South of Europe are the fruit of Ziziphus vulgaris, those of India of Ziziphus juj'uba, both plants of the buckthorn tribe.—E. F.] 109 Collins, Robert Nelson, Oxford Court, Cannon Street—Inventor and Producer.

Sulphate of lime or gypsum. Fine white sand, found at Todmarton, near Banbmy. 115 Savory & Moore, New Bond Street, Kousso; a new remedial agent, imported by the ex- hibitors, for the removal of tape worm. That it is destructive of that parasitic disease has been satisfactorily shown. The plant has long been known in the East, and actively employed in Abyssinia. Dr. Pereira has given an elaborate account of this plant, which is known by the name of Braycra anthehnintica, from its properties and the name of its discoverer, Dr. Brayer. Wittstein and Martin have given chemical analyses of the plant. Sumbul; another new medicine, the introduction of which into practice in this country is due to the ex- hibitors. It is very beneficial in many nervous diseases, and in the treatment of epilepsy. Dr. Gramdlle has given a minute account of its medicinal properties. 116 Bell, J., M.P.

Specimen of amorphous jihosphorus, and crystallized chlorate of potass. 120 OxLAND, J. & R., Fhjmouth—Manufacturers. Sj)ecimens of sugar, produced by the patent jDrocess of refining, invented by Robert and John Oxland, in which the acetate of alumina is used as a substitute for the blood and animal charcoal usually employed for defeca- tion and the removal of colour. 121 Pinto, Perez, & Co., Chemical Works, Zimehouse —Manufacturers. Specimen of acetate of lead, in very large crystals, rhombic prisms, slightly coloured, but exhibiting in a high degree its peculiar crystalline structure. Another specimen, in large groups of crystals, perfectly pure, and freed from colour. This salt is prepared from pyroligneous acid and litharge, which, when combined and purified by repeated crystal- lizations, yields such ciystals as are exhibited. The salt is extensively employed in the coloviring arts, especially in calico printing, and is also a powerful medicinal agent. It is highly poisonous. 122 Stevenson, J. C, Jarrow Chemical ^yorks, South Shields—Manufacturer. Large crystal of soda. 123 Riley, E., Museum of Practical Geology, Piccadilly, and Wandsworth, Surrey—Producer. Specimens of hippuric acid and compounds. 124 Greenish, T., 20 New Street, Dorset Square— Manufacturer. Superphosphate of iron; a new preparation of iron re- cently introduced by Dr. Routh, supposed to be the same salt contained in the blood. It is free from any ferru- ginous taste, and so, well adapted for children; believed to be more speedy in its action than the other salts of iron in cases of nervous debility, where there is a large quantity of phosphates voided by the urine, probably because it supplies directly to the brain the phosphorus, on the undue diminution of which the nervous derange- ment depends. Symp of superphosphate of iron, adapted for administering the remedy to children, and probably the best form for general use. Syi'up of poppies, deprived of vegetable albuminous matter, without injury to its medicinal properties; it may by this means be kept without the possibility of fermentation. SjTup of saffi'on, deprived of vegetable albumen, so that it may be kept without the deposition of the colour- ing matter. Tincture of columba and tincture of hops. Both tinc- tures are deprived of the albumen, and perfectly bright. 125 Trix, J., i'^e/cr—Producer. Extract of henbane from the wild herb. 126 Dixon, Son, & Co., Newton Heath, Manchester— Producers. Arthur Allbright—Patentee. Specimens of matches, made with Professor A. Schrotter's amorphous phosphorus. These matches are free from offensive smell, and from efiluvia injurious to the workers while they are making them. They give oxit a brilliant and sure light, when rubbed on the sanded part of the box. They Avill not take damp so readily as matches made in the usual way. They will keep in hot or cold climates, and in dry or com- paratively damp places. They are as cheaply and easily made as the common matches, and are less liable to fire in the process of making. They can be made to light sulphured wood, or stearine matches. The patent safety phosphorus employed in theh manufacture may be known by its producing no light in the dark under 4U0 degrees. SUBSTANCES USED AS FOOD. INTRODUCTION. Most of the objects exhibited hi this Class are so familiar as to require little preliminary notice. Substances used as food are derived either from the animal or from the vegetable kingdom, and may, consequently, be arranged under these two divisions—Animal and Yegetable. The latter are necessarily the most varied and the most important. Vegetable substances used as food may be arranged under the following heads : — A. Agricultural produce, such as cereals, pulses, oils, seeds, &c.; B. Dried fruits and seeds ; C. Substances used in the preparation of drinks ; D, Intoxicating drugs, fermented liquors, &c.; E. Spices and condiments ; F. Substances belonging to the starch ; and Gr. Substances belonging to the sugar series. Preserved meats, soups, honey, gelatine, &c., belong to the subdivision of animal substances. This Class is situated in South Gallery P, and is entered immediately on leaving the preceding Class, situated in the same gallery. Like the last, the amount of space occupied by it is very moderate, but the sub- stances it comprises are interesting, and deserve attention, not, as in the last case, from their connection with commercial enterprise and prosperity, but from their relation to the support and healthy condition of the artificer himself. The Class comprises a variety of agricultural produce—wheats of various kinds and of differing degrees of productiveness, together with specimens illustrative of the remarkable effect of hybridization, or the crossing of one variety of wheat with the pollen of another. Wheat is also shown in its various states of j^i'eparation for the purposes of food, or for the preparation of fermented liquors. Extensive collections of seeds of grasses, fodder-plants, and others for cattle food, are also exhibited, together with an arranged series of the vegetable productions of Scotland, including plants cultivated for their farinaceous seeds ; plants cultivated for their herbage or forage, for their roots, for their uses in the arts, manufactures, &c., for their medicinal properties, and for their timber. Preserved fruits and seeds of various countries are also contained within this Class, repre- senting those articles of luxury removed by their character and costliness out of the ordinary category of human food. Specimens of hops of different varieties, adapted for different purposes, are also shown, and repre- sent a department of agriculture more important in this country than in any other in the world. It has been estimated that upwards of 52,000 acres of land are devoted in England to the cultivation of this plant, about the half of which is in the county of Kent. The dwtj on hops amounts to about a quarter of a million sterling annually. A variety of substances used in the preparation of drinks is comprised in this Class. Specimens of different kinds of cocoas, in the natural and manufactured state, of coffee, and of tea, represent the ingredients con- tributing to form the liquid diet of millions of the human race, and each containing, according to recent discoveries, a peculiar nitrogenous princi])le, identically similar in each, though recognised under different names. New substances are also shown, intended to form substitutes for these articles. Starches, spices, and condiments represent the remaining division of vegetable substances. The division—animal substances—includes a variety of articles of preserved food ; among these are cases con- taining food preserved in air-exhausted canisters for lengthened periods. Isinglass, gelatine, honey, preserved soups and meats, belong also to this division. There are also some preparations from blood, and combinations of vegetable and animal substances for the purposes of food, together with milk reduced by evaporation to a dried state.—Pt. E. 1 LiGHToN, James, Frampton, near Boston, Lincolnshire— Producer. Glass of honey, 19 lbs., produced under an improved system of bee management. The honey is worked in the glass by the bees, and the glass requires no protection except a small piece of black calico, 18 inches square, to stand upon. 2 DouBLEDAY, H., CoggeshaU, Essex—Producer. Fine specimen of honeycomb. 3 CarletoN;, Edward, Blaris, Lisburn, Ireland— Producer. Specimen of camomile flowers. 4 Bentley, John Flowers, Stamford, Lincoln— Producer. Specimens of honey in the comb, free from pollen and brood cells, collected under Nutts' system of manage- ment, by ventilation. The weight of the produce of one stock of bees in 1849 is stated to have been 50 lbs. South Gallery. The accompanying cut represents the combs produced in the glass hives of the exhibitor. 5 Kitchener, Wm. Cripps, Newmarket, Cambridgeshire —Producer and Inventor. Two specimens of honey taken in 1850, from the same hive, and at the same time. Ventilated commimicator, for obtaining honey free from impurity or discoloratioj). 6 Button, Robekt William, 146 Fleet Street— Proprietor.

Specimens showing the different stages in the manu- facture of flour from the wheat to the biscuit. 7 Hills & Underwood, Eastcheap—Inventors and Manufacturers. Samples of malt vinegar when first acetified, and when clarified; samples of brown malt vinegar, distilled vinegar, and distilled vinegar with vegetables. 8 BiVEN & Co., St. John's Lane, Gloucester— Manu fac turer s. Six bottles of champagne wine, manufactured in Eng- land from rhubarb stalk. 10 Roberts, William Henry, British Wine Works, Laverock Bank, Edinburgh—Maker. Samples of " champagne and sparkling hock," made in 1847 from Valentia raisins, grapes, sugar, sugar-candy, and honey, the extract being duly fermented. " Madeira," made in 1836, from malt and sugar extract. " Constantia and Frontignac," made from Valentia raisins, sugar, and sugar-candy. The " Frontignac" is flavoured by an infusion of elder flowers distilled. " Keeping beer," brewed in February, 1845, and Oc- tober, 1847. In the manufacture of this beer, which was not made for sale, sugar was introduced as an auxiliary to the malt and hops. Its value in this connection is great, as the beer thus brewed will keep sound for an unlimited period. 11 Copland, Barnes, & Co., 46 Botolph Lane, Eastcheap—Producers. Specimens of a new process of preserving fruits, jams, jellies, provisions, &c. These are hermetically sealed, and retain for years all their freshness of flavour and quality; and are prepared for use in the East and West Indies, and other tropical climates ; also for passenger ships on long voyages. 12 Gamble, John Henry, 33 Royal Exchange—■ Manufacturer. Canister, containing boiled mutton, found by Captain Sir John Ross, on Fury Beach, in latitude 72 deg. 47 min., and longitude 91 deg. 50 min. This is one of the canis- ters of preserved food, prepared by the exhibitor for the Arctic Expedition in 1824. It was landed from H.M.S. " Fury," on the beach where the ship was wrecked in Prince Regent's Inlet, and found by Captain Sir John Ross, in August, 1833, still in a perfect state of preservation, although annually exposed to a temperature of 92 deg. below, and 80 deg. above, zero. In 1849, when Captain Sir James Ross visited Prince Regent's Inlet in H.M.S. Investigator," he found the provisions still in excellent condition. That the canister exhibited has been pre- served above twenty-six years, and is still fit for food, is attested by Captain Sir John Ross. The food in this canister was preserved without salting. Three canisters of preserved mutton and vegetables, preserved by the same process by Donkin, Hall, and Gamble, at Blue Anchor Road, Bermondsey, in the year 1813. Canisters of preserved fresh beef, mutton, and veal; of fresh milk, cream, and custards; of fresh carrots, green peas, turnips, iDeetroot, stewed mushrooms, and other vegetables; of fresh salmon, oysters, cod-fish, haddock, and other fish; and of real turtle soup, mock-- turtle soup, ox-tail and other soups. Preserved hams for use in India, China, &c. Callipash, callipee, and green fat for making real turtle soup, all preserved by the same process. Also soup and bouilli, for emigrants and troops at sea. Pheasants, partridges, &c., preserved. The whole pre- served so as to keep in any climate, and for an unlimited length of time. [This method is the invention of M. Appert, in France, and was first practised in England by Messrs. Donkin, Hall, and Gamble. The process consists in placing the partially-cooked provisions into tin canisters, with a little bouillon or juice of the meat, then soldering on the covers, which have a small hole perforated therein. The tins are, after this, immersed, to a great portion of their depth, in a saline-bath heated above the boiling point of water, and left therein until the air has been expelled as completely as possible by the steam generated within them; the hole in the cover is now hermetically closed with a little solder, the tin being momentarily touched with a damp sponge to stop the egress of steam. The minute portion of oxygen still remaining in the tins enters into combination with the animal or vegetable matter at the induced temperature, and thus, further change is prevented. After the sealing of the tins, they are submitted to the ordeal of the testing-room, heated to a temperature above 100° Fahr.; if putrefaction takes place, the generated gases burst the tins, but those which pass uninjured remain perfectly good.—W. D. L. R.] 13 CoLQUHOUN, J. L., Lieut.-Col., R.A.—Producer. Fruit of the plantain {Musa paradisiaca) dried in the sun when fully ripe, and in that state analogous to the dried fig, raisin, date, &c.; from the province of Jalisco (Guadalajarra), Mexico, called ''Platano pasado." It is prepared in considerable quantities in the hot region {tierra caliente) of the western coast of Mexico, for consumption in the elevated districts of the interior. The specimen exhibited was imported in 1835, and is the remainder of a package of 75 lbs. weight, made up as customary in the leaves and fibre of the plant, after South Gallery. having been subjected to considerable pressure. The cost of production is very moderate. 14 Smith, Michael, Copper Alley, Dublin. (Agent in London, J. Kendell, 8 Harp Lane, Great Tower Street) —Producer. Preserved pig; large and small hams, cured upon the ''mild-cure" principle. 15 EiTCHiE & McCall, 137 Tloundsditch—Producers. Specimens of preserved meats, poultry, fish, &c., the produce of the United Kingdom; and of beef, the produce of Moldavia, preserved at G-alatz. " Goldner's Patent," The process is by forming a vacuum in the canister by means of steam, and preserving the meat, &c., in that vacuum. [It is a well-known fact that, in the absence of atmo- spheric oxygen, putrefaction is suspended, often entirely so. Such is the principle upon which the patent here adverted to depends. The vacuum must be very complete to render the preservation of food successful.'—E. E.] 17 Clay, John, Woodley Corn Mills, Bridbury, near Edgeleg, Stockport—Producer. Specimens of maize or Indian corn, with a specimen of American hominy produced from Maize, as used in America ; imported at Liverpool from New York.

Hops grown in Essex, Suffolk, and Worcester. [These hops are samples of the varieties in most estima- tion for the purposes of the brewer. The Goldings take their name from that of the gTower who first introduced them; they.are considered to be the finest, richest, and most valuable in the market, varying, however, according to the soil in which they are grown, and the treatment they receive. Jones's are of a shorter growth than the otliers, and are thus useful by enabling the grower to make use of the poles which would be too short for the Goldings or other varieties. Colegates are hardy, but backward at harvest, running much to vine, and capable of gromng in comparatively poor soils. These qualities are, however, of advantage, as the infei^ior soils may thus be beneficially occupied by them, and their harvest takes place after the finer sorts are all in. The grape hop takes its name from its habit of growing in clusters like the grape. It is hardy, not so particular as to soil as the Goldings, and is generally very productive in yield.—J.

Three grains of this wheat are said to have been fotmd in the hand of an Egyptian mummy, and sent to Mr. Dobree, President of the Agri- cultural Society in Guernsey, who planted the same in his garden, and forwarded the produce to Col. Blagrove the following year. This produce he has successfully grown as a spring crop, and from it the present sample, grown by the exhibitor, is a specimen, the quality and crop being alike good. [Much doubt has been raised as to the origin of the mummy wheats. The Egyptian wheat (Triticum compo- situm) is very different from the variety of common wheat (Tr. vulgare), called "Talavera." The Egyptian wheat has a head composed of three spikes, one erect in the centre, similar to the common wheat, and on either side another, not quite so large, attached to the base of the centre, and standing out at a small angle from it. Our climate is not suited to its growth, as, in the course of one or two years, the side spikes entirely disappear, and a coarse, thick-skinned grain is produced.—J. W.] Specimen of the Wellington apple. 73 Raynbird, Robert, Jlengrave, near Bury St. Edmunds—Producer. Sack of Kessingland wheat, grown upon a light soil, at Hengrave, Suffolk; this is a productive and new variety of wheat. Sack of Chevalier barley, grown at Hengrave.

Specimens of wheat produced by hybridization. Specimens of Hopetoun and Piper's thickset wheat— the variety from which the hybrids were obtained, by fer- tilizing its pistils with pollen from the stamens of the Hopetoun wheat. To effect this, the stamens of the flower of the thickset variety were removed before they had reached maturity, by opening each of the glumes and carefully picking out the stamens upon the point of a needle: the pistils of the flower being left perfect, were a few days afterwards fertilized by dusting them with the pollen from stamens brought from the Hopetoun variety of wheat; this produced a great number of varieties, par - taking more or less of the parent stocks, and from these the four specimens exhibited were selected. [In the hybridization of plants experiments are always of much interest, and often productive of very important results, as the good qualities of two varieties may be obtained, or their bad qualities be counteracted. Hybrids obtained by the judicious intermixture of species, fre- quently produce seeds capable of giving origin to plants combining the characters of the two different parents; but hybrids produced by species closely allied but really distinct gradually lapse into the one or the other of the originals, and thus become extinct.—J. W.] 75 Kendall, John, Trenerlin, Truro, Cornvxdl— Producer. Sheaf of white wheat, named " The giant straw wheat;" grown by the exhibitor in quantities of from 10 to 15 acres for the last 10 years.

The "satin glaze rice-starch" of the exhibitors pos- sesses the following advantages:—From its extreme fluidity it is more economical than common starch; it is free from mucilaginous matter; it does not require boil- ing, and the clearness, colour, and glaze, which it imparts are permanent. It is particularly adapted for lace, and the finer fabrics of linen, cotton, &c. ['''British Gum" consists in reality of torrefied starch. The granules of starch, in its ordinary form, are enveloped in a thin pellicle, insoluble in cold water. By roasting the starch, the membranous envelopes are burst open, and their granular contents are then readily soluble in cold water. It is used, among other purposes, for thickening the colours of calico printers.^—R. E.] 118 NoAK, "VY. & John, Covercroft Salt Works, Droitvcich —Manufactiirers.

Pickings, or cattle lickings, a valuable and useful ar- ticle for sheep or cattle, which they eagerly seek after and enjoy, [The salt manufacture of Droitwich, Worcestershire, existed at a very early period: it is mentioned as in operation at the time of the Roman invasion; then it was carried on in a primitive style, and at considerable ex- pense. The brine springs here extend over a very limited space of land, and are comprised within a circle of about 200 yards in diameter. Formerly the brine was obtained by boring: this process made it rise to the surface and run to waste; for, ascending through and mixing with the fresh-water springs, it was very much lowered in strength, and the manufacture of the salt, which was conducted by evaporation, was attended with great ex- pense, owing to the cjuantity of fuel required to vaporise the water. Within the last 50 years an improvement was effected by casing the pit with wood, and thus partially prevent- ing the fresh water mixing with the brine. More recently, the principle was introduced of sinking a shaft quite through the fresh-water springs, and then making the bottom and sides of the pit secure with iron cylinders, before boring down to the brine springs. By this means the brine is obtained at its fall saturation, or about 42 parts of salt in the 100; whereas formerly it varied be- tween 28 and 37 per cent. The exhibitors recently obtained a patent for improve- ments in manufacturing salt; and, by using very large evaporating pans of an improved construction, they obtain larger quantities of salt, at a considerable saving of labour to the workmen, who obtain better wages and longer intervals of rest. The source of the brine in Droitwich is inexhaustible, and exhibits no diminution of strength or quality: it lies at a depth of 173 feet from the surfacCj but as soon as it is reached by boring it rises up to the level. The salt manufactured here is exported largely from the ports of London, Gloucester, and Bristol. There are upwards of 70,000 tons per annum manufactured, of which 40,000 tons are used for domestic and agricultural purposes; the remainder is used chiefly for chemical decomposition and exportation. The Droitwich salt has always been cele- brated for its strength and purity.] 119 Dewar, Thomas, Newcastle-upon-Tijne—■ Manufacturer. Specimens of brown and white mustard seed, from which mustard for table iise is made. [The mustard of commerce belongs to the family of cruciferous plants. Its introduction as an article of extensive employment at the table, only dates from the beginning of the last century. It is principally culti- vated in the North Riding of Yorkshire.—R. E.] 120 Levy, Walter, 2 White Row, Spitalfields— Manufacturer. Specimen of Taganrog wheat; the same, granulated, with the flour and bran extracted. Samples of maccaroni celery and vermicelli. 121 Tucker, Richard Grant, Lenton, near Nottingham —Manufacturer. Starch, used by the lace-dressers in Nottingham. Gum substitute, used by cotton, silk, v/oollen, and wall-paper printers, for giving consistence to colours. Adhesive, or label gum, suitable for postage stamps. The residue, or glutinous matter, remaining after starch is extracted from wheat. [A large number of plants and vegetable substances contain starch. It is found in seeds, roots, tubers, and stems. It is often obtained from wheat which has become accidentally damaged. From its insolubility in cold water, it is easily washed out of any vegetable tissue which may contain it, and thus it may be partially sepa- rated from other substances present in the matter operated upon. But there are some from which it cannot be thus separated, and here, by an ingenious method, che- mical decomposition is employed to get rid of them. The liquor in which some of the starchy particles are contained is allowed to ferment. By this means the gluten, albumen, &c., become, in a great measure, dis- solved, and the starchy particles are left unaltered, and separate themselves by precipitation. The largest source of starch of late years Has been the potato, from which it is obtained simply by rasping and washing.—R. E.] 122 Tucker, Edward, Belfast—Manufacturer. Glue and starch, produced at Belfast. [The manufacture of the common and useful substance, glue, forms an interesting branch of the industrial arts. It is procured from the parings of hides, parchment, and refuse leather of all kinds. Such matters, after a prepa- ratory cleaning in alkaline water, are boiled in large vessels for some time. The liquid is then run ofl" and is found to be charged with an impure solution of gelatine; on cooling, the sheets of glue are left in frames to dry. This part of the process is often singularly affected by at- mospheric vicissitudes. The state of the air during thun- der-storms produces a remarkable eff'ect on the glue, and Q2 South Gallery. often spoils the manufactured product. The substance commercially called "gelatine" is a very pure description of glue obtained, like it, from animal substances carefully selected and purified, so as to be fitted for human con- sumption. It has been largely used of late as a substi- tute for isinglass.—R. E.] 123 Brown & Polson, Thrushcraig, near Paisley— Manufacturers. Patent powder starch, manufactured from sago flour (the exhibitors being inventors of this article). Patent soluble starch, granulated, manufactured from potato flour. Patent wheat starch, manufactured from wheat. Arrow-root, manufactured by the exhibitors. 124 WoTHERSPOON, RoBERT, Glenfield Starcli Works, Maxwellton, near Paisley—Manufacturer. Specimen of Glenfield patent powder starch, manu- factured from sago ; a new material, from which the starch is made. 125 Reckitt, Isaac, & Son, ffull—Manufacturers. Patent imperial wheaten starch, white and blue. Patent soluble starch, blue and white, made from potato flour. Patent sago starch. Potato flour, used as a raw material in the manufacture of starch, and for stiffening Manchester calicos, muslins, &c. Wheaten starch powder, used in perfumery and con- fectionery. 126 Shand & MucKART, Montrose —Prodncers. Samples of starch. 127 Miller, David & William, Musselburgh, near Edinburgh—Producers. Starch: household white, bleachers' wheaten, Royal blue, and sago flour. Scotch farina, Nos. 1 and 2. Arrow- root. 128 Jones, Orlando, & Co., Battersea—Inventors, Patentees, and Manufacturers. Specimens of starch manufactured from rice, and of rough starch, hair powder, and gluten, obtained in the process of manufacture. The process (patented in 1840) is the result of the dis- covery that a weak caustic alkaline solution has the pro- perty of separating starch from the gluten and fibrin with which it is combined in farinaceous substances. This process has enabled the patentee to substitute rice for wheat in the manufacture of starch: this substitution, besides other advantages, possesses that of preserving wheat for the more important purposes of human food. This starch requires no boiling —a point of great import- ance in its use; and, being less hygrometric than wheat starch, retains a more permanent stiffness and glaze. The rough starch obtained in the process is valuable for feeding purposes, and for stiffening coarse fabrics. 129 PiESSE, Septimus, 43 Molyneux St., Marylebone— Inventor and Manufacturer. Lactine or artificial milk, composed of yolk of eggs, gum acacia, honey, and salad oil; manufactured by the exhibitor. This material contains all the elements of natural milk from the cow:—-Caseine, albumen, gum, grape sugar, and fatty matter. On gradually mixing it with water, it forms either cream or milk, according to the rate of its dilution. Chemically, it resembles milk in its action towards re- agents, and, as in milk, we have the true emulsion of fatty matter (butter) in water, withovit the intervention of any alkali. Lactine keeps well for one or two years. On being mixed with water, it forms artificial milk, for the use of sailors on a long voyage. With coffee, tea, and chocolate, it acts like ordinary milk, from which it can scarcely be distinguished. Pistachio nuts (Pistacia vera) and pistachio-nut ker- nels, from the shores of the Mediterranean; imported by the exhibitor. The latter forms a cooling emulsion. The fecula, prepared like starch, is used as a cosmetic. It is very oily, sweeter than almonds, and is commonly eaten in the south of Europe and in India, at the dessert, and for confectionery. Pistachio-nut powder (the fecula of pistachio kernels), manufactured by the exhibitor. This powder is used for whitening and enamelling the skin, for removing redness of the features, for drying the hands, and preventing per- spiration—an advantageous substitute for the prepara- tions of bismuth, largely used for the same purposes, Patchouly plant {Pogostemon patchoTjy), a native of India and China; and essence of patchouly, a perfume distilled from it by the exhibitor. Sulpho-nitro muriatic acid, or everlasting chlorine, for disinfecting purposes and deodorising the sick chamber; invented by the exhibitor. The materials, employed slowly generate chlorine, and continue in action for several months. 130 Berger, Samuel, & Co., Bromley, Middlesex— Manufacturers. Specimen of rice starch, blue and white, made under the exhibitors' patent; also, samples of Madras and Bengal rice, from which this article is usually made. 131 Hall, Thomas, Lenton, near Nottingham— Manufacturer. Patent starch. 132 M'Garry & Sons, Palmerstouii and Ashtown Mills, i)?i6^m—Manufacturers, Specimens of linseed and refined rape oils. Linseed and rape cakes. Specimen of Irish mustard. Specimens of copper plates and lead pipes. 133 McCullum, Malcolm, 12 Cannon Street, Leith— Discoverer and Producer. Specimens of the rhizome, or creeping stem, of Typha latifolia, or "large red mace." The Gaelic name is "morthan;" the central part is edible in its raw state; when dried and separated from the fibres, it affords a meal, or flour, of a sweet and agreeable taste, which can be made into bread or starch. Sample of the meal. The fibres of the stem are a sub- stitute for lint. This plant grows in abundance in lakes and marshy places, and is very prolific. 134 Edwards, Henry, 32 Great Windmill Street, Haymarket—Inventor and Manufacturer, A mass of "custard powder," capable of producing 896 quarts. Composed of flour and other ingredients. 138 St, Etienne, Madame Daniele, Harberton Ford, Tutness—Agents, Tootal and Browne, 73 and 74 Piccadilly—Producer. Specimens of wheat-gluten, mixed with wheat flour, or potato-flour. Used chiefly as food, especially for invalids, in the form of soups, puddings, biscuits, &e. Specimens of vegeto-animal compounds for long voy- ages, &c,; prepared with wheat-gluten, and beef, veal, mutton, gelatine, poultry, fish, &c. ; the same with fruits. Used in the preparation of soups, puddings, pies, and other dishes. Specimens of chocolate, biscuits, &c,, improved in nutritive power by the addition of wheat-gluten. Specimens of starch and potato-flour, artificial sago, tapioca, arrow-root, &c. Specimens of gums. Potato-flour and starch gums, all soluble in cold water. Inferior gum-arabic, cleaned and granulated, with im- provement in the quality. All these gums used as substi- tutes for natural gum for printing, chemical, and general purposes. South Gallery. 139 Moore, Edw. Duke, Ranton Abbey, Ecdeshall, Stafford—Patentee. Essence of milk, requiring only the addition of water to produce perfectly fresh milk. Samples combined with chocolate, cocoa, and coffee. [In specimens similar to that described, inconvenience is often occasioned by the crystallization of the sugar of the milk, which is but sparingly soluble.] 140 Fadeuilhe, V. B., 19 Newington Crescent, Surrey— Patentee, Manufacturer, and Inventor. Consolidated milk for long sea voyages, and for me- dicinal and domestic use. After being dissolved in boil- ing water and reproduced in the form of milk, the solution will keep perfectly pure for four or five days; it may be boiled as often as required without "breakmg;" and is miscible with all kinds of spirits. [The preservation of the substance in question is due to the entire expulsion, by evaporation, and various other processes, of the watery constituents of milk. In the absence of a certain quantity of water putrefactive changes cannot proceed.—R. E.] 141 Glass, Geokge Michael, Brandon Street, Walworth —Inventor and Manufacturer. Gelatine for culinary and manufacturing purposes. 142 Gardner, John, M.D,, 51 Mortimer Street— Discoverer. Leaves of a tree, said to contain a nutritive crystalline principle, identical with that of Chinese tea (Theme), show- ing the leaves in their natural state, simply dried, also in various forms after having undergone the necessary preparations for use. 143 Assam Company, 30 Great Winchester Street, City —Producer. Samples of tea, the produce of Assam (Thea Assamica). Assam became a British possession in 182B, at the conclusion of the Burmese war. The tea-plant was found to be indigenous there, but this fact was not gene- rally known until the year 1834, In 1839, the Assam Company was formed. It is incorporated, and its object is the cultivation and manufacture of tea. Owing to impediments of various descriptions, its early operations were checked, and have been confined to the cultivation of about 1,000 acres. Until recently the results of the cultivation and manufacture of tea in a commercial point of view have not been ascertained. They are now fully established. The tea realizes in England high prices, and is con- sidered to be of fine qualities. It is entirely manu- factured by natives of India. 144 Saunders & Gatchill, Dublin—Agents. Chicory in all its stages, from the kiln-dried root to the ground dust, fit for use. ''Chicory" and endive greens, the root of which is used as a substitute for cofiee. The leaves are also largely used in a manufactured state, as a dye-stufi", called ''pastel," or imitation woad," of which they form the principal ingredient, for the purpose of rendering the colour permanent in woollen cloths. [Chicory is the Cichormn intybns, a plant of the order Compositse, indigenous in most parts of Europe.—E. F.] 146 Poole, Sarah Rebecca, Kingston-on-Tha7nes— Producer. Patent crystallized malt, used by porter brewers. Upon breaking a grain it will be seen that its substance has been converted into sugar; its properties consist in pro- ducing double the quantity of extract, and giving porter the desired flavour. 149 Perkins, Henry, Ilanworth Park, Middlesex—• Producer. A loaf of sugar, made by W. J. Evans, M.D. in Mr. Perkins' kitchen at one operation, and without filtration through animal charcoal, from canes grown by Henry Perkins in his hothouse, Hanworth Park, Middlesex.

A preparation of tea. MANUFACTURES. INTRODUCTION. The present Class concludes the first section relating to Raw Materials and Produce. "VVitliin the limits of the present Class are included a great variety of substances employed in the arts and in manufactures. The Class is subdivided generally into substances of vegetable, and substances of animal origin. The former division comprises gums and resins, oils, acids, dyes and colours, tanning materials, fibrous and cellular substances, timbers, and miscellaneous articles applied to various economical purposes. The latter division includes materials for textile fabrics, for the production of chemical substances, and for pigments and dyes. The objects included in this Class are placed in South Gtallery P, and succeed those belonging to the preceding Class in order of arrangement. The Class, although enibracing a variety of substances, is not an ex- tensive one, regard being had to the space occupied. Among the substances of vegetable origin of interest in the arts, are oils of various kinds, together with their solid and fluid principles ; stearine and oleine, varnishes made by the solution of a variety of resinous substances in alcohol or wood spirit; specimens of wax, and of the same in a manufactured state. Interesting series of dyes and colours are also exhibited. The beautiful colours derived from various lichens by a curious chemical process, are shown with their application to textile fabrics, and gum. The splendid colours yielded by safflower, incligo, and other vegetable substances are also illus- trated. This Class is particularly rich also in its illustrations of the fibrous materials used for cordage and clothing. Specimens are shown of China grass, a fibrous product from Urtica nivea; of New Zealand flax ; of hemp of various growths—Indian, Egyptian, Belgian, American, and Russian ; and of flax from various countries. The fibrous substance commercially known as jute, is also illustrated. The fibrous material obtained from the husk of the cocoa-nut is exhibited in its various stages of manufacture and in its applications to the production of fabrics. Specimens illustrative of the application of new processes to the preparation of flax for spinning have also a place in this Class, and appear to promise useful results in the em]3loyment of this material in textile manufactures. Corks of different kinds, and new flbrous substances applicable to textile purposes and for paper, are also shown. The specimens of difi'erent timbers used for construction and ornament have great technical interest. The botanical names, habitats, and uses of the trees producing these woods are attached to their description in the Catalogue, This will enable the merchant to supply himself with accurate information upon a variety of fancy woods hitherto only recognized under their commercial appellations. In the space allotted to the preceding Class will also be found illustrations of various useful timbers. The preser- vation of timber is illustrated by several series of specimens indicating the progress of decay, and its arrestation in wood equally exposed. The substances derived from the animal kingdom include specimens of whalebone in difi'erent stages of manu- facture ; wools of various kinds in the raw state, and as cleansed from some impurities. Mohair, horse-hair, in various conditions of manufacture ; down and feathers. Some interesting results of the attempt to breed the silkworm in England, are exhibited in raw silks obtained, and in manufactured specimens. Raw and thrown silks of their natural colour and variously dyed are also shown. Animal oils, gelatine, glues, and pig- ments and dyes of animal origin are also included in the objects contained within this Class, The four Classes comprised within this section deserve and demand attentive study. The objects comprised by them form the materials out of which all that is beautiful and useful in this great collection has been created, and indicating in their various states the preliminary application of human industry to their preparation for further usefulness. The study of them is a valuable introduction to that of the other Classes, in which con- structive industry is illustrated as contrasted with that preparative series of operations exhibited by the objects inchided within the first section, 1'he consideration of results is more generally interesting than that of the processes leading to them ; but the latter study is unquestionably the most instructive. To the philosophic inquirer into the objects of this Exhibition, this section will probably appear the most interesting of all, as the development of raw material in all the varied forms assumed in those sections is observed in Machinery, Manufactures, and Fine Arts.—R. E. South Gallery. 1 Grigor, Jo, & Co., Nnrseries, Forres, Scotland— Producers. Native Scotch pine plants, of various sizes and ages, some of which are raised by a new method, v/hich pro- duces fibrous roots, and adapts them for bare and ex- posed situations. Larch plants of various sizes and ages. Weeping birch, one year old, from seed produced by native trees on the banks of the Findhorn, Morayshire; sown April 20, 1850. 2 King, Emma, Church Street, Edmonton— Producer. Specimens of anatomised plants, arranged as an orna- ment. 2a Cooke, E. W., IVie Ferns, Victoria Road, Kensington —Producer. Preserved pitcher plants. These natural pitchers are appended to the leaves of a plant, a native of the East Indies, growing in stagnant, swampy places; it possesses the faculty of distilling the purest water. The pitcher during the period of its growth remains closed; but when quite expanded and full of water the lid opens. The pitcher of some species will contain nearly one quart. The case contains specimens (which were dried in hot sand to preserve their form) of the following species, viz.:—Nepenthes RafHesiana (Singapore); N. ampullacea (Singapore); N. Loddigesii (Singapore); N. distillatoria (Ceylon). Also a specimen of Sarracenia, and a species of Gepha- lotus; which both grow on the ground. The palm and other seed-vessels are introduced merely for ornament. 3 Stevens, William, 1 Bock Place, Tottenham Road, Kingsland—Inventor. Preserved flowers, retaining their natural form; in- tended to form cabinet illustrations of botany. 3a Crowcher, C, jun.. Chapel Place, Liverpool Road —Producer. Specimen of calcined straw. 4 Pursey, William Henry, 14 Spring Street, Sussex Gardens, Paddington—Manufacturer. Flowers used as ornaments for garnishing meats, &c.; cat out of vegetables, such as carrots, turnips, beet-roots, &c. [This curious art gives exclusive employment to several persons in the Metropolis.] 5 Rock, Mary, 6 Stratford Place, Hastings—Producer. Ornamental stand, formed chiefly of a species of grass which grows on the cliffs at Hastings, and is used for ladies' work-baskets, table-mats, &c. The stand contains specimens of Hastings pebbles, [The Hastings pebbles are from the calciferous grit of the Tilgate beds which form the ''White Rock" of Hastings, but are often elsewhere seen in more tabular masses, resting on a very compact conglomerate, envelop- ing large rolled pebbles of variously-coloured quartz, and jasper and smaller ones of pure white quartz and flinty slate.—D. T. A.] 5a Tilley, Lieut., R,A,, Fivehead, Taunton, Somerset— Designer, A series of beautiful specimens of the leaves of various trees, anatomised, prepared, and arranged by the exhi- bitor. Perfect skeletons of the leaves of the sycamore, poplar, aspen, ivy, lime, and wild or wood-medlar trees (or of the Pseudo-platanus, Popnlus, Popnlus tremula, Hederahelix, Tilia, and Mespilus diffusa of Linngeus), grouped, dyed black, and displayed on a white drawing-board, to show their contrast in kind, texture, shape, and shade. Groupings of some of the above leaves, dyed and undyed, on a blue and white drawing-board, and placed I in a glazed frame, divided into compartments, one of which contains a vegetable or leafy picture of the year, shown by twelve growing and fading changes of the elm leaf {Ulmus campestris). Also strawberry leaves {Fra- garia vesca), displayed under the similitude of a snake, from their spotted resemblance to the skin of that rep- tile, overlaid by ferns brought from the island of Madeira by Mrs. Susan Farrent. In this specimen is exemplified one of the most difficult operations in vege- table anatomy. In a small circular gilt frame may be seen two anatomized pear leaves (Pgrus), having the ap- pearance of three, the one being whole, the other divided from the tip to the leaf stalk or stem, and the two parts laid open right and left. The minutest threads in the texture of the one side having its counterpart in that of the other ; a task of no small difficulty, when it is con- sidered that they previously vmdergo the double process of anatomy and dying, added to the frail and delicate nature of the mnterial operated on. Some of the ar- rangements are under-lettered with letters cut from the leaf in its different stages of growth and decay, [The whole of these specimens owe their origin to the accidental circumstance of the operator's going to the pond- side for water to refresh his flowers in the dry summer of 1840, when the fragment of an elm leaf floating into the dipper in its skeleton state siiggested the idea of effecting its anatomy by artificial means. He was then in his sixtieth year, and had never seen or attempted anything of the kind before.] 6 Harrison, Richard & Specimens of English and Alder, English, Apple-tree, English. Ash, English.

[The sperm whale, Physeter macrocephalus, called also cachalot, is a carnivorous cetacean, living chiefly on cuttlefish, and having its mouth armed with teeth instead of whalebone. It is gregarious, and inhabits the open oceans of both eastern and western hemispheres, ranging between 60° N". L. and 60'-^ S. L., but abundant and pur- sued chiefly in the region of the line-currents between 7° N". L. and 7° S. L. It grows to a large size, the male to 60 feet in length, the female to half that dimension. The former yields 70 to 90 barrels of sperm-oil, the latter 20 to 30. The spermaceti is contained in cellular cavi- ties, occupying the anterior and upper parts of the un- wieldy head; from 200 to 500 gallons of this ''head- matter" ai-e yielded by a whale. One-sixth of the entire produce is the usual proportion. This matter is placed in hair bags, submitted to strong pressure, melted, and boiled with a weak solution of potash and in alcohol, then cast into moulds, when it becomes the crystalline sub- stance called spermaceti, which is itself a peculiar species of stearine. Cetine is its pmified state.—E. F,] 30 Ewen, James, 17 Garlick Hill, City—Manufacturer. Samples of clarified fats. 31 DuRANT, Richard, jun., 11 Copthall Court— Proprietor.

Fine cloth, manufactured from 280 warp and 320 weft. [The preparation of flax at Courtrai differs in no essen- tial respect from the ordinary method adopted at home. But the bundles, instead of being steeped in stagnant pools, are sunk in the clear waters of the River Lys. It is said that the waters of this stream have a peculiar effect in producing flax fibre of extraordinary whiteness and purity. The bundles, after having been steeped, are untied and spread out on grass to be dried. On the com- pletion of this process, the flax is again made up into bundles and undergoes its preparation for the market.— R. E.] Samples of flax from the Lokeren district, Belgium; line, sliver-roving, and yarn, 50 leas to 200 leas, from the flax. [The total annual production of flax in Belgium amounts, by a recent estimate, to about forty millions of pounds. Its total value is calculated at about two millions and a half sterling. This flax is of very superior quality, and is principally employed in the manufacture of the finest class of fabrics. Attempts are being now made on a large scale to cultivate this important plant in England and Ireland. Belgium exports aboal five millions of pounds of fiax to England. The flax grown in the Courtrai district is universally considered to be of the finest quality.—R.

Bog oak; bog yew; bog deal; oak; elm; ash; beech; copper beech; black oak; sycamore; cheri-y ; apple; holly; poplar; maple; alder; spruce; Scotch fir; larch; walnut; arbutus; iaburnimi; and ever- green oak. These timbers are the growth of former ages, and are found embedded in the bogs of Ireland. [These timbers represent ancient forests, the remains of which are now buried beneath accumulations of peat and water, but in which wandered not only species of existing British mammals, but extinct races, like that of the Megaceros hihernicus, '''leading into the times when elephants, hyaenas, and other extinct quadrupeds appear to have tenanted this country."—J. L.] The black oak is used for fancy and ornamental work. The yew is a fine-grained timber of different shades. It appears to be a suitable timber for cabinet work, such as pianos, &c., being durable and capable of taking a high polish. The deal is useful for rough work. These timbers are in general used in carpentry and joinery, ship-building, house-building, coach-building, cabinet-making, machinery, farming implements, &c. The ordinary timbers, such as oak, elm, ash, beech, larch, maple, &c., are considered of superior quality and large growth. Specimen of Carrigeen moss; found in great abundance on the sea-shores in the counties of Clare and Kerry. ['''Carrigeen," or ''Irish moss," is a sea-weed. It is the Chondnis crispus of botanists, a fucus which grows abundantly on all the rocky shores of the British Isles. It is most plentiful at the edge of low-water mark. Chondrus mammillosus is another species often mixed with and used like the former. The plant is gathered from the rock, then washed and laid out to dry and bleach in the sunshine. It has emollient and demulcent proper- ties.—E. F.] Specimen of oak bark.

[Cochineal is an insect, the dried body of which yields the beautiful i-ed dye for which it is valued in commerce and the arts. The insect is obtained in large quantities from Mexico, the British West Indies, the United States, and Guatemala. It is bred with great care, and feeds on the Cactus cocMnellifer. Upwards of a million pounds were imported ten years since into the United Kingdom, and in every pound are contained not fewer than 70,000 insects! Cochineal, from its resemblance to seed, was formerly considered to be really a vegetable product. In the cactus stove at Kew the insect may be seen alive feeding upon the cactus of its native habitat.—R.E.] Varieties of lac-dye from Calcutta. ['^ Lac-dye" is a term commercially applied to a colour- ing matter extracted from stick-lac. The latter is con- sidered to be the resinous secretion of a tree on being punctured by an insect common in many districts of Eastern India. This insect is called Coccus lacca, and is found in enormous numbers in the forests of the moun- tains on the sides of the Ganges. The insect, when about to deposit its eggs, attaches itself to the branches of trees, and soon becomes enveloped in a layer of gummy matter which hardens on exposure. The insect dies, and her body shrivels into an oval bag containing a minute drop of red fluid. This is extracted from the lac, and, when formed into small masses, becomes the lac-dye of commerce. In 1848, 1,221,308 lbs. were imported into the United Kingdom.—R, E.] 68 Smith & Son, 14 Corbet Court, Spitalfields— Producers.

The peculiar process of comb- ing by which the above tops have been manufactured is patented, [By the ordinary process the combs are heated to a high temperature, and oil is applied to the wool before being drawn out in the sliver. On the present plan the heat employed is not so great, but more equable, and the use of oil can be dispensed with. The tops are thus preserved clean and white, and better suited therefore for all fine fabrics.

[Wool is a kind of hair, characterised by an imbricated scaly surface, when viewed under the microscope, on which depends its remarkable felting property and its consequent value in manufacture. Most quadrupeds possess the woolly variety of hair as an under-clothing, but in a small proportion, and hidden by the smooth exterior coarser kind of hair. In the wild sheep (Ovis ammon and Ovis musimon), the woolly variety is developed in excess; and in the domesticated varieties the fleece has become improved by care and breeding until its original coarse character has disappeared.—R. 0.] 101a Smithson, T,, Bramley, Leeds—Producer. Samples of wool. 103 Horan, H,, 7 Stud Street, LsUngton—Manufacturer. Prepared Greenland whalebone of different colours, for covering whip handles, walking sticks, and telescopes, and various other purposes, with portions of black and white whalebone as cut from the palate. [The whalebone or Baleen, as it has been called, con- sists of numerous parallel laminae, descending perpendi- cularly from the palate of the Balcena mysticetus. Its object, in the economy of the animal, is to form an efficient strainer for its food, which is taken in with the water; and the latter, when the mouth is partially closed, is expelled, leaving the small Crustacea and other animals, which constitute the nourishment of the whales, entangled, as it were, in the lamiure of whalebone. Although a] I the species of Bala^na possess this substance, it is furnished South Gallery. in the largest quantities and of the finest qviality by the Balccna mysticetus, which is the object of incessant and eager pursuit^ not only for the value of this substance, but for the nixmense supply of oil which is obtained from the thick layer of blubber or cutaneous fat in which the body is enveloped. The length of the largest pieces of baleen in a whale 60 feet long, is frequently as much as 12 feet; and the laminae are ranged in two series, each containing about 300. in number.—T.

Thirty-four specimens of whalebone. [The fins or plates of ''balefen," or whalebone, are of an inequilateral triangular form, the largest, vfhich are of most value in commerce, being arranged in a single longitudinal series on each side of the upper jaw of the 'Svhalebone whales" {Balcenidce), descending vertically, and ending in a fringe of bristles: the smaller plates are arranged in oblique series, internal to the marginal ones. The base of each plate is hollow and is fixed upon a pulp developed from a vascular germ, which IkS attached to a broad and shallow depression occupying the whole of the palatal surface of the maxillary bones. The plates are so disposed as that their fringed terminations are directed downwards, and inclining towards the back part of the mouth, and they prevent the escape of the small marine animals which constitute the food of the great whales {Baloence), and for the prehension of which this singular substitute for the teeth is adapted. The baleen plates are smallest at the two extremities of the series; the large intermediate ones sometimes attain the length of 15 feet, being above a foot broad at their base. There are about 200 plates in the outer row on each side of the mouth in the 'Hrue whale" {Balcena mysticetus). Each plate consists of a central coarse fibrous substance and an exterior compact fibrous layer: but this reaches to a cer- tain extent only, beyond which the central part projects in the form of a fringe of bristles. The chemical basin of baleen is albumen, hardened by a small proportion of phosphate of lime. The baleen plates of the finners or hump-backed whales {Balcsnoptera) are smaller, and of less value than those from the true whales [Bala^na mys- ticetus),—0.] 105 Claussen, Peter, 26 Grcsham Street, London— Inventor and Patentee. Samples of flax prepared by the exhibitor's process, intended to show the universal applicability of flax fibre to the purposes of textile manufactures. The first set of samples ai-e intended to show the various processes resorted to in the preparation of flax into a material capable of being spun alone, or mixed with various proportions of cotton upon any of the ordi- nary cotton-spinning machines. The samples show, 1st, the flax in the straw as pulled from the ground, cut into appropriate lengths by suitable machinery. 2nd. As it appears after having undergone the first process of satu- ration in a solution of soda required to remove the glu- tinous substance adhering to the fibres. 3rd. The fibres as seen after the removal of the " shove," or woody part of the plant. 4th. The flax transformed into a cotton- like substance by the expansive force of carbonic acid gas produced by the action of an acid upon the soda, taken up by the fibres in the previous stage. The 5th, 6th, and 7th shows the same bleached, dried, carded, and ready for spinning. The remaining articles in this series are samples of mule and throstle yarn of various numbers, some of which are composed entirely of flax, and others of various proportions of flax and cotton. Both these descrip- tions of yarn are exhibited, bleached and dyed in various colours for the purpose of showing that flax, prepared upon this process, is capable of receiving the same opaque dye as cotton, and, in the mixed yarns, no difierence can be distinguished in point of colour or of shade between the two materials. Samples of grey and bleached, dyed and printed cloth woven from the j^arns, prepared as above, are also exhibited. The yarns formed of a mixture of flax and cotton are termed " flax-cotton" yarns. The second series of samples consists of yarns formed of various proportions of flax and wool called " flax-wool yarns," the flax being prepared, in many respects, in the same manner as when required for spinning on cotton machinery. The mixed woollen and flax yarns were spun on the ordinary woollen machinery. Samples of flannel and of woollen cloths, milled and dyed, woven from these mixed yarns, of various coloims. The third series contains samples of flax prepared for spinning alone or combined with short silk iipon the ordinary silk machinery. The flax so prepared is shown, dyed various colours, and possessing, unlike the samples prepared for the cotton machinery, the brilliancy of colour which is peculiar to silk. The yarns formed of equal or other proportions of flax and silk, which are termed flax-silk yarns," are shown d^^ed ; and, as in the case of the "flax-cotton," no difference of shade or colour is perceptible in the two materials. A quantity of silk, woven from "flax-silk" yarns, is also shown in this series. In the fourth series, samples illustrative of the exhi- bitor's mode of preparing flax for spinning upon the ordinary flax machinery, and for its manufacture into linen fabrics. A fifth series consists of various samples of hemp, jute, and the fibrous substances prepared, either in whole or in part, as above; and samples of cloth woven upon the Chevalier Claussen's circular loom for the purpose of showing the applicability of the invention to articles of hosiery. The advantages claimed as arising from the process, illustrated in the fourth series for preparing flax for the linen mamifactures, are its simplicity, rapidity, certainty, and cheapness. By this process a fibre nearly free from colour is procured, so that the after process of bleaching is greatly facilitated : the fibre is also pure when pro- duced, so that the same weight, or nearly so, of yarn, can be spun from a given weight of fibre ; and the loss in bleaching is very small, as it consists only of the removal of accidental impurities received in the process of manu- facture. The three first series of samples are intended to show the applicability of the flax fibre for textile manufactures, other than linen or cambrics. It can also be spun alone, on cotton machinery, by the ordinary cotton process. It has long been a desideratum with woollen manufac- turers of all classes to obtain a material cheaper than wool, possessing the same felting or "milling" properties. Cot- ton and China grass have not this property. The flax fibre is said to be stronger than the wool, and to mill equally with it. The sample shown was milled fi^om 54 inches wide (as it fell from the loom) to 28, its present width. To prove its felting properties fully, hats have been made from the fibre mixed with an insignificant portion of rabbits' hair. 1. Flax-seed and flowers (in wax). 2. Flax-straw with the seed-bolls on. 3. Flax-straw rippled or deprived of the seed-bolls. 4. Flax-straw as prepared by the farmer (by the exhi- bitor's machine). By this operation the straw is freed from the greater portion of the wood, and is reduced to one-third of its original bulk and weight, and the fibre is left uninjured, and in a fitter state for the next process.

MACHINES FOR DIRECT USE, mCLUDOG CARRIAGES, RAILWAY AND MARINE MECHANISM. INTRODUCTION. The objects contemplated by this Class form the most important series exhibited. They develop the appli- cation of a source or sources of power, either derived by man from simple combinations of elementary things, or supplied to him in the active forces of nature—in the winds, tides and rivers—or obtained by him from adapta- tions of dynamical laws. They represent also the means employed in effecting change of place, whether of inanimate matter or of man himself. The Class is a very large one, occupies a considerable amount of space, and, as the most direct representation of one of the jDrincipal sources of the industrial success and prosperity of Great Britain, it must receive a large amount of study and attention. The Class is subdivided into machines for direct use, including Carriages, Railway and Naval Mechanism, and Carriages generally, not including Railway Carriages, or similar vehicles. The first of these divisions is the most important, and comprehends—A. Steam-engines and Boilers, Water and Wind Mills, and various other prime movers ; B. the separate parts of Machines, specimens of Workmanship, &c ; C. Pneumatic Machines such as Air-pumi3s; D. Hydraulic Machines ; E. Locomotives and Railway Carriages ; F. Railway Machinery and Permanent Way ; and Gr. Weighing, Measuring, and Registering Machines for commercial purposes. The several divisions include—A. Carriages for Town use ; B. Travelling Carriages ; C. Carriages for general use ; D. Public Carriages ; and E. Carts and Waggons—not agricultural. The arrangement of the objects included in this Class, within the Building, extends over a large area. Commencing at Avenues CD. Prime Movers in action will be found scattered in different positions down those avenues, and on entering Avenues A. B. C. lower down, they are still found as low as Areas 30. Avenues D. E. and F. from Areas 19 to 30, contain some highly interesting Engines and Machines comprehended within this Class. Avenues F. G. are occupied by Locomotives, Railway Carriages, and Railroad Apparatus generally. Avenues G. to L, from Area 1 to 14, are filled with Carriages of everj^ description. In Areas G. H. and L, from 19 to 22, are found the largest specimens of Prime Movers exhibited, representing that peculiar form of steam-engine applied to the purposes of marine propulsion. The Prime Movers being employed in communicating motion to machines belonging to the next Class, are necessarily distributed among those machines ; but the other objects regarded by the Class have, as far as possible, been grouped in immediate proximity to each other. A number of Models, illustrative of Class 5, are found at the eastern end of that part of the Building containing machinery in motion. Steam-engines are so directly in relation with the prosecution of manufactures and locomotion, that they must always demand a certain degree of superior interest. A great variety is exhibited : these belong chiefly to the high-pressure class ; and motion is communicated to them by steam conveyed in pipes clothed with hair- felt running under the flooring. These pipes derive their supply from five boilers, arranged in the boiler-house, at a little distance from the north-west corner of the Building. The system adopted of clothing the pipes with thick hair-felt, and over that with a casing of painted canvas, has rendered it possible to carry high-pressure steam to a distance before thought to be impracticable. The pipes are supplied at intervals with globular water-traps, in which the water resulting from the condensation of the steam is collected, and whence it can be readily removed. The system of non-conduction is so complete, that no perceptible heat is experienced rising through the open flooring. The beam engines of a former period appear to be becoming replaced, in high-pressure engines, by those forms in which a direct communication of power is made from the piston to the crank, either mediately through connecting arrangements, or immediately by the attachment of the piston rod to the crank itself. To the latter class belong the steam-engines with vibrating or oscillating cylinders ; to the former, those in which the cylinder is fixed, and in which the rectilinear movement of the piston rod is converted into the curvilinear one of the crank and shafting, through the medium of vibrating mechanism attached to it. Several varieties of both these kinds of steam-engine are exhibited in motion driving cotton-spinning, weaving, and other machines. Rotatory steam-engines of different kinds are also exhibited: in most of these the curvilinear motion necessary for driving machinery is obtained without the intervention of the crank, and power is led off b}^ bands from the shafting directly operated upon by the engine. Some of these machines present the most singular and anomalous forms. There are some examples of new methods of converting rectilinear into curvilinear motion.

The Marine Engines, which are not in motion, form an extremely interesting study. The ponderous engines from the Soho Works, of the collective power of 700 horses, for driving the screw propeller by direct action, form a remarkable illustration of the revolution effected by progressive science, not only in the form, but also in the application, of the steam-engine. The time existed when the great improver of the steam-engine questioned the probable application of steam to ocean navigation; and it is remarkable to find these immense engines, exclusively adapted to steam navigation, proceeding from the works founded by James Watt himself. Upon these engines are wooden models of an attempt at steam locomotion made as early as 1785. Separate parts of machines and specimens of workmanship are also exhibited. Among the former will be recognised the enormous connecting rod, adapted to marine steam-engines, of the collective power of 800 horses. Some beautiful specimens of straight edges and flat surfaces are also shown. Hydraulic presses of various kinds are exhibited, and among them the vast machine which was employed to lift the Britannia tube into its place. The apxjlication of the same powers is also shown in other directions. Cranes of various kinds are found in this class—the peculiar form of the tubular iron crane, of the Derrick, and other cranes, will attract attention. The Derrick crane was employed in the construction of the building, and in placing the heavy machinery in situ. The high reputation enjoyed by the locomotive engine-makers of England is adequately sustained by the magnificent and costly engines found in this department. The stupendous wide-gauge engine—the " Lord of the Isles"—illustrates the peculiar features of construction introduced on that system, and conveys an overwhelming impression of speed and power. In contrast are the beautiful engines for express travelling—the Cornwall, and another, built on Crampton's patent: the driving wheels of the latter are eight feet in diameter. These engines are calculated for a high degree of .speed, with great power. Corrugated iron carriages, carriages built of Moul- mein teak, breaks, trucks, turn-tables, signals, specimens of permanent way, and all that relates to the railroad system, are therein abundantly represented. Carriages of every description are found in their proper place. Some of these are of new form and design, others combine new mechanical adjustments or adaptations, and others exhibit improvements instituted for particular purposes, as for convenience in travelling or for the removal of invalids. Public carriages, of new forms, are also found among others. This Class, viewed as a whole, indicates in what direction the current of industrial activity has been most successfully conducted in Great Britain. The workmanship employed in the reduction of ponderous masses of material into forms capable of exercising movement and developing force, is of necessity of the highest order; for an error of adjustment were fatal to the operation of these mighty engines, and the difficulty of accurate adjustment presents itself, at a rough estimate, proportionately to the size of the objects concerned. But spe- cimens of the successful application of mechanical skill in every direction, and to objects great and small, are found, and appear in forms which indicate that compactness and completeness of execution are not less regarded than perfection of adaptation. As the practical display of the sources of power at the command of this country, whether in their application to production or to locomotion, Class 5 is complete, and offers a wide field of fruitful investigation to the inquirer.—R. E. 1 Atherton, Charles, Dookyard, Devonport— Inventor. Pair of marine steam-engines of 25-horse power, con- structed with a view to apply the sway-beam principle in driving the submerged screw propeller. Drawing, to show the mode of applying the same prin- ciple to large engines for ships of war, which require the engines to be below the water-line of the ship. The air-pump valves are adapted for being worked with great speed, and the eccentrics and slides are arranged for being easily managed so that the engines may be quickly re- versed. The patent expansion gear is intended to be made one of the principal means of registering the varia- tions of expansion during the working of the engine, in order that the indicated working power and the corre- sponding consumption of fuel may be duly recorded; thus applying to marine engines a system of inquiry which has been attended with great advantage in the case of mining engines.

P., Greemvich. Various screw propellers. 4 Stothert, Slaughter, & Co., Avonside Iron Works, Bristol—Inventors and Manufacturers. Patent combined propeller engine, patented by Ed- ward Slaughter. This system which has reference only to condensing propeller engines, purports to combine the advantages of a direct action, qviick working engine, with those of .the indirect slow working engine. In the latter, the speed requisite for the propeller is obtained by means of accelerating gearing driving on to a second-motion shaft. The new engine claims to avoid the disadvantages of both. It is assumed that, to attain the best possible form and angle of screw, it is in all cases desirabk to give a speed to the propeller shaft unsuited to the vacuum, supply, and bilge pumps, but especially to the former ; and that whereas the required number of revolutions presents no practical difficulty in those poi-tions of the engine where the passage of steam only is in question, very great difficulty, and an undue amount of wear and tear, as well as loss of power, attach to the rapid opening, closing, and constantly repeated shocks of large and nu- merous valves, required for the passage of water through the vacuum pumps for the process of condensation. So greatly is this difficulty estimated by some of the first naval engineers of the day, that the indirect engine, with its cumbersome and costly gearing, is preferred to the light, simple, and inexpensive direct-action engine ; and this preference obtains in spite of the very strong preju- dice entertained against the employment of gearing in any form on shipboard. Under the present system, direct- action to the screw shaft from the steam pistons is ob- tained, in connection with a reduced speed of the vacuum apparatus, by means of gearing of a lightness proportioned to the fraction of power reqmred, say part of the en- tire power of the engine. It may be said that direct- action engines are in successful operation, in which the vacuum apparatus is made to work, without difficulty, at the same speed as the steam pistons. JSTow, if this cannot be denied, it is submitted that the speed, and therefore the angle of the propeller, must be lowered to the speed suitable for the vacuum apparatus ; that they do so work at a considerable loss of power, by reason of the unduly large relative capacity of the air pumps, at a much increased ratio of wear and tear of machinery, and, as it can scarcely Fig. 3.

It will be readily understood that the system must be con- sidered irrespective of the particular arrangement exhi- bited which had in view to economise space in the vessel longitudinally; and that cylinders, disposed horizontally or otherwise, are equally applicable, and the horizontal disposition would be adopted for war steamers. In illus- tration of the above, the marine condensing engine exhi- bited (100 horses power), may be regarded as divided into two parts comparatively distinct one from the other, the steam portion working directly on to the screw shaft with all the simplicity of a high-pressure engine, at a speed of 120 revolutions per minute ; the vacuum appara- tus, as well as the supply and bilge pump, being made to work at the reduced speed of 40 reciprocations, or about the approved speed of paddle-wheel engines of same power. It may here be well to state that the relative capacity of the vacuum pumps and the steam cylinders must be calculated in reference to the difference of speed; and that, in practice, the vacuum produced in the con- densers, is found to be as perfect as that in any existing engines, viz., 28 and upwards. A pair of engines, iden- tical with these, is at work in the Bristol Channel. The system has been proved with equal success in a small ex- perimental vessel, in which the speed of vacuum appara- tus is only i instead of ^ of that of the steam pistons. The following advantages are claimed:—High speed upon the screw shaft, in connection with slow speed of vacuum apparatus, in the same machine. No reasonable limit to the high speed required for screw shaft, giving facility for securing the best form and angle for propeller. No rea- sonable limit to the reduction of speed required for va- cuum apparatus, with diminished risk of accident result- ing therefrom. Saving of power by reason of relatively reduced proportion of vacuum pump, and consequent saving of fuel. The Plate represents elevations and a plan of these engines as applied to river steamers. 5 TapliN, R., 7 Upper Woodland Terrrace, Woolwich —Inventor. Model of a telescopic funnel or chimney for marine boilers. This telescopic funnel or chimney is on the compound principle, and not simply telescopic. It is de- signed to accomplish the desideratum of striking the funnel of any steam vessel below the upper deck ; and the principle may be applied in a variety of ways. To paddle-wheel vessels it affords the power of working the sail nearest the funnel ; and while xiuder sail, the vessel is not hindered by its resistance to the air. To the screw vessel, in particular, it oflfers more advantages, as by re- lieving the deck of the cumbersome and unsightly appear- ance, as well as inconvenience of the funnel, it enables the vessel to chase or approach an object almost unob- served ; and if the masts, rigging, &c., be dispensed with, which is also possible, nothing but the hull might be seen, when steaming to effect some special purpose,, as a secret expedition, &c. 6 Watt, James, & Co. (late Boulton & Watt), 18 London Street, and Soho, Birmingham—Designers and Manufacturers. Marine engines, of the collective power of 700 horses, with four cylinders, 52 inches diameter, and 3 feet stroke, designed for driving the screw propeller by direct action at 65 revolutions per minute. The object of the inventor has been to combine light- ness and compactness relatively to the power, with sim- plicity of arrangement. These engines can be placed in the ship entirely below the water-line, whereby they are protected from the effects of shot in vessels of war; and in the mercantile marine the decks are left clear for passengers or cargo. Two working models, made in the year 1785, by Mr. William Murdoch of Soho, who was at that period con- nected with the firm of Messrs. Boulton, Watt, & Co. The first is of a "locomotive," showing the original application of steam for the purposes of travelling; and tried upon the common road in Cornwall, in 1785 and 1786. The second is a model of an oscillating engine, constructed at that early period for the purpose of illustrating Mr. Watt's patent of 178i, for making the cylinder work on its axis. 7 RouGHTON, R., Dockyard, Woolwich—Inventor.

The improved short-stroke reciprocating high-pressure steam-engine, which drives Parr, Curtis, and Madely's cotton machinery in the Exhibition. The advantages claimed for this invention are as follow:—'The piston, receiving a reciprocative action from the steam, by reason of its mechanical arrangement, gives out a revolving motion, thus reducing the impetus at each return stroke; and from the fact of its containing the properties of the piston and crank combined, it is not subject to the same straining of parts. Although the piston of the ordinary engine at all times receives the full effective pressure of the steam (when the valve is open), there are positions of the stroke when this is useless, as when the crank is '^on the centre," consequently the shock is sustained on the several cottars and parts, which is much felt in overloaded engines; but by the arrange- ments submitted, the crank shaft, which is the piston shaft, receives this shock, which is somewhat diminished on account of the piston itself gliding gradually out of equilibrium into full effect (the same as the common crank, though divested of the intermediate parts). An advantage is also obtained by working a short stroke with a large effective area of piston, and, consequently, a great speed, with slow velocity of the piston through space, is obtained, compared with the ordinary engine,—thus the first motion can be attached direct to the main shaft, thereby not only dispensing with all intervention of wheel-work, and its necessary appendages, but also pro- ducing a steadier motion, consequent upon the engine not having multiplying gear, which must only increase any inequalities in the stroke. This arrangement of engine requires but slight foundations, compared with others, from the peculiar manner in which the power and resistance are compounded together, and from the fact of the capability of these engines to run at high speed, a large power can be concentrated into a small space; hence if such results be obtained, and the multiplying gear be dispensed with, and the number and weight of the parts be reduced, not only economy in first cost will be gained from its close approximation to the ordinary reciprocating engine, but also economy in fuel.

The pre- sent arrangement is designed to admit of the application of high-pressure steam, and the expansive principle, to engines originally constructed for working low-pressure steam. This is effected by placing the high-pressure cylinder at one end of the beam, and the low-pressure cylinder at the other. Power being thus applied at the two ends of the beam neutralizes the strain upon the main centre, and removes the cause of the shaking of the machinery and building, experienced in ordinary beam engines when heavily loaded. In the example exhibited, the arrangement is adapted for marine-engines, and offers the means of obtaining increased power in a limited space, with equable motion and strain.

Fig- 1 shows a front, and Fig. 2 an end, elevation of the steam-pump. This apparatus is a simple form of high-pressure engine, with a lifting and a force pump combined; is portable and complete in itself, requiring no other fixing than the attachment of the steam and water pipes.—Invented by W. E. Carrett, engineer, Leeds, and registered Aug. 31, 1850. It is constructed to fetch or force water any re- quired distance in one continuous stream, without shock Fig. 1. Fig. 2. Garrett's Steam-pump, or injury to the pipes or machinery; and at an effective velocity. The pump can also be disconnected, when the engine is to be used singly for driving small machinery of the household or the farm-yard. [This patent steam-pump, which was adopted by the Royal Commissioners, in the Boiler-house, at the Ex- hibition Building, is an example of the application of steam-power for lifting or forcing water under any pressure, and for every variety of purpose. It sup- plies an important want frequently experienced in engineering, agricultural, and manufacturing works, of a ready means of lifting and conveying water supplies, without involving the trouble and expense of fixed machinery of complicated construction. It can be ad- justed to work under all varieties of pressure at a uni- form speed, and is capable of fetching or forcing water, at a maximum velocity, any required distance, without shock or concussion to the pipes. Size No. 1 of this apparatus is constructed to deliver 10 gallons per minute, at a pressure of 50 lbs. per inch, or 100 feet high. It will be obvious that, by increasing the size of the pump-ram, twice this amount of water can be raised one-half the height, or in any other quantity or proportion. For pumps from 2-horse power and upwards, side-rods and slide-bars are substituted in place of the cross-head movement, shown in the cut; the size of the whole apparatus, in both cases, being little more than that of the diameter of its own fly-wheel. The engine is complete and perfect in itself, and can, by its simple disconnection from the pump-ram, be used as a rotative power to work suitable machinery, &c. A peculiar feature of improvement in this pump, may be said to consist in the introduction of two accumulating vessels in connection with the influx and efflux passages—these, by their action, producing a continuous stream of water throughout the whole length of the pipes. Without a provision of this nature, the barrel of the common pump is only partially filled at each stroke, and the ram is consequently driven against the .surface of the water with a serious shock at &ach down-stroke. In this pump, the lower valve, at each ascent of the plunger, drains its water-supply from the bottom of the induction air-vessel ; which again is fully replenished by the suc- tional power from the reservoir. When the plunger descends, the water in the barrel is driven through the upper valve into the discharge air-chamber, and makes its escape thence in a continuous stream, under the pressure of the contained air. Thus the pump has a noiseless and perfectly smooth action, with a uniform delivery. Hence its capability to fetch or force water any required distance, at a much more effective velocity than has hitherto been accomplished, without the usual and expensive resort of a trio of lesser pumps in neutral connection, driven by a three-throw crank. The peculiar advantages of this continuous stream will be obvious; for, since the water is always in motion North Areas A. B. 10 to 34 ; C. D. E. 1 to 10, & 19 to 33 ; F. 1 to 32; G.

Chronometric governor for a fifty-horse power engine. It consists of a conical pendulum, which is maintained in motion by a permanent power, independently of the velocity of the engine. This power is obtained by simply attaching a weight to the throttle-valve lever. A uniform angle of rotation is insured by means of a break, which is acted upon by the pendulum on reaching its desired incli- nation, and absorbs any excess of driving power which the weight may supply. A differential motion between the conical pendulum and the engine at once adjusts the valve to the altered condition of load or power. In Watt's centrifugal, and other governors, the power necessary to move the valve is only gradually accumulated by an actual change in velocity, and the valve is main- tained in its altered position on condition of an altered speed of the engine. The action of the chronometric governor is, on the contrary, immediate, and the regulation of speed abso- lute, however great the variation of load may be. This governor has been applied successfully to steam- engines, Barker's mills, and by the astronomer royal, to give smooth and accurate motion to astronomical instru- ments. Model of simplified chronometric governor, in which an expanding fly-wheel has been substituted for the more delicate conical pendulum. The action of this governor is illustrated by preventing a fly-wheel from being turned above a certain speed. Model of a variable expansion valve, consisting of a revolving cylinder divided in two in a helical curve cor- responding with a helical aperture in the outer shell. The governor moves one portion of the revolving cylinder endways, and thereby varies the time for the admission of steam to the engine. This valve should be applied in connexion with the improved chronometric governor, which has sufficient power to work it with certainty. Model of a surface condenser, showing an efiective and simple arrangement of condensing surface. Water-meter, in action, working under pressure. The novelty consists in the water impinging, in its passage, on two sets of helical blades which travel in opposite direc- tions (being right and left handed), whereby deflection of the current and the effect of local currents are compen- sated. Its advantages are simplicity and efficiency of action. Model of regenerative condenser, which possesses the new and useful property of returning the condensing and condensed water at the initial temperature of the steam, 212° Fah., previous to its release from the working cylinder, producing nevertheless an effective vacuum. When applied to high pressure-engines it allows a large proportion of the waste steam to escape, and condenses the remainder with a minimum of condensing water. It has been applied to engines of different sizes, where it has been found to effect a considerable saving of fuel. If applied to high pressure-engines, it produces an additional atmosphere's effective pressure upon the working piston, with a quantity of injection water little exceeding the quantity of feed-water for the boiler. A portion of the steam escapes uncondensed, and may be used to produce draught (in the case of the locomotive engine), or other purposes. The power required to work the air-pump of a common condenser is saved. The boiler is supplied with boiling-hot feed-water, &c.

It then passes under the metallic bottom of the pan, and in proceeding toward the cooler end, the vapour which it contains is condensed, and yields its latent heat again to the evaporating liquid. Heat is continually supplied at the hotter end, and is abstracted at the cooler end, where the cold liquid enters the apparatus. The circulating current is divided into the principal cur- rent, which traverses the whole length of the apparatus, and into secondary currents, which return at interme- diate points, and are essential to the economical working of the system. The fire burns under a boiler, which supplies a steam chamber at the hottest end of the appa- ratus, and proceeds through flues traversing the evapo- rating current in its progress towards the chimney. By this means the evaporating current is superheated throughout its course to a temperature exceeding that of the liquid by about 15 per cent., and its evaporating power is greatly increased. The regenerative evaporater has been found to save about three-fourths of the fuel usually required to evapo- rate liquids. It has been applied on a large scale to the evaporation of brine, producing six tons of salt for every ton of fuel from a concentrated solution, instead of If tons, which are usually obtained from a ton of fuel. 48 BuNNETT, Joseph, & Co., 26 Lombard Street, City, and Deptford, Kent—Inventors, Patentees, and Manufacturers.

Disc engines have been used in factories, mills, &c., for several years past, and they may be employed to drive the screw-propeller in steam-vessels by direct action. The disc engine acts with a uniform force in a direction tangential to the crank throughout the revolution, with- out any rotary motion taking place within the cylinder; although such an engine be only half the bulk and weight of the engines at present applied to the screw- propeller, yet at the same velocity of the piston it makes three times as many revolutions in a given time as other engines. The disc engines on this construction are said to be equal to the best engines in economy of fuel; and are, on this account, better adapted to vessels, as expan- sion can be carried to a great extent without straining either the frames or the vessel.

The distance between the top of the cylinder and the axis of the shaft need not to be more than half the length of the stroke. This permits the machinery to be comprised in a very small compass. The friction on the slides is incon- siderable, and vanishes altogether when the engine is producing its maximum effect. The motion is produced hj a combination of levers, identical in principle with the common crank. This crank, called the sliding crank, is equivalent in power to a common crank of the same radius, having an infinite connecting rod, and the parallel motion of the connecting rod is exact. 58 Whitelaw, James, Jo/mstone, Renfrewshire, Scotland—Inventor.

Model of the "Compensating Fly-wheel," an invention for converting a fluctuating into a constant force. The fly-wheel, as ordinarily applied to steam engines, effects two purposes—it carries the engine through the dead points of the crank revolution, and it does this effectually ; it also, in a measure, corrects the variations inseparable from a power communicated through a crank; this latter service, however, it performs only approxi- mately, and being fixed upon the main shaft, it transmits all its uncorrected irregularity through any train of machinery connected with it, in many cases to the great detriment of the manufacturing work it has to perform, and often occasioning the rapid destruction of the gear- work through which the power is transmitted. This defect is incurable under the existing method of using the fly-wheel; for although every augmentation of its weight will bring its oscillatory movements within a more limited range, yet no weight of metal will ever entirely correct them. In the scheme involved in the model, the hopeless task of compelling the fly-wheel to steadiness is abandoned, it being permitted to take up its oscillatory motion according to the force applied, while all the subsequent machinery is secured from partaking, in the slightest degree, of these oscillations. The means for effecting this, consists in releasing the fly-wheel from its rigid connection with the main shaft, and substituting for it a spring or springs, through which the force is conveyed, and then, by a further device, correcting the small remaining irregularity that results from the reaction of the springs when under different degrees of enforcement. It will be apparent to every mechanic that constructive arrangements comprehending these principles of action may assume a great variety of forms and combinations. The following is that adopted in the model, the essential parts of which are shown in its accompanying diagrams. It consists of a fly-wheel 3 feet in diameter, having six arms, hanging loose upon a cylindrical end of the main shaft; immediately behind the fly-wheel are three other arms, issuing from a boss which is fixed on the same main shaft. On the face of each alter-nate one of the fly- wheel arms there lies a spiral spring, which is partially compressed between two studs which are fixed to the arms of the wheel; a bolt passes freely through the springs and studs, which being drawn upwards (towards the rim of the wheel), forces the spring, by means of a collar at the lower stud, into closer compression. The bolt is connected with a roller on the rim, by a leather strap; the spindle of this roller passes through a hole in the rim, and carries, on the other side, a second roller, which, in like manner, is fastened by a second strap to a pin at the upper end of an arm of the boss, _ The fly-wheel, during the part of its revolution m North Areas A. B. 10 to 34 ; C. D. E. 1 to 10, & 19 to 33 ; F. 1 to 32 ; G. H. 1 to 13, & 19 to 26. which, the steam has a power superior to the resisting force, will advance by acceleration, but the fixed arm not partaking of the increased speed, the space between the second roller and the arm of the boss will be increased, and by the action of the rollers the spring will be com- pressed ; that period being passed, and the impelling power falling below the resisting power, the latter will prevail, and bring back the wheel again to the place, with respect to the mean place, from which it started. Now, when the fly-wheel advances, by its oscillating move- ments, it will leave the arm of the boss behind, and the strap connecting it with the second roller will occasion the roller to move on its axis, which will result in the drawing up of the bolt, and compressing the spring ; and the reverse will happen when, through its oscillations, the fly-wheel loses speed; and thus the fly-wheel will go on oscillating twice in every revolution, the oscillations playing smoothly and harmlessly upon the spring. Now, if both the rollers be cylinders of the same dia- meter, the reactive force of the compressed spring, and the force dragging the led arm and main shaft, will be equal; and as constant variations will take place in the compression of the spring, an equal variation will occur in the force leading the arm; and although, to a great extent, an eqvialization will have been effected, the problem of the conversion of a fluctuating force into a constant force has, as yet, received no solution. But the rollers are not both cylinders ; the second roller is bounded by an irregular curve, a part of which— called the isodynamic curve—is so formed that, in its rotary motion, the lever of resistance within it, through which, and the second strap, the fixed arm acts against the force of the spring, shall become lengthened as that force increases, the curve offering in every position a lever of resistance proportional to the force of the spring. "With this final appliance, a perfect uniformity of force is obtained, and the problem proposed is solved. In order to explain the actual working of a specific steam engine with these appliances, suppose the model extended, in all its parts, linearly in the ratio of 3 to 10: the fly-wheel will then be of 10 feet diameter, and will have 1,500 pounds weight in its rim. The engine to be of 10-horse power, clear of all loss by friction or otherwise, in its own parts; strokes, 40 per minute. The steam may be applied to the piston at any amount of pressure, aud be worked expansively, or not. The springs, as in the model, to be 3 : coiled of steel wire, ^ inch in dia- meter; the coils to measure 2^ inches in diameter to the middle of the wires; the space between the coils, when the spring is relaxed, to be equal to the diameter of the wires; the number of coils, 70; its whole length, when uncompressed, consequently, will be 35 inches. Such a spring will suff'er compression of 1"17 inch for every 10 pounds of compressive force. It is proposed that each spring shall be confined between the studs, with a force of 40 pounds, by which the length will be reduced to 30*32 inches : this compression is not necessary to its proper action, but it keeps the length of the spring within convenient compass. The breadth of the rim to be 7 inches ; therefore, the circumference of a circle, at the middle of the rim, will be 29*6 feet; and the speed, at this place, will be 1,184 feet per minute. The mean force communicated, at any point in this circumference, will be equal to 279 pounds. Let this force be trans- mitted, through 3 springs to the arms, then we shall have a force of 93 pounds applied to each arm. A wheel thus circumstanced will have an oscillating motion of 1-26 inch from its mean place, and the mea- sure, between the extremes of its oscillations^ will be 2*52 inches ; and as the axis of the rollers is placed in this circle, the variations in the compression of each spring will be of the same measure (2-52 inches). Now, since the compression of the spring is 1 • 17 inches, with a force of 10 pounds, a compression of 2 • 52 inches will be the exponent of a force of 21 • 54 pounds, and 21-54 pounds will be the variation of force commu- nicated from the fly-wheel to the fixed arm; and since the mean force, applied to one arm, is 93 pounds, the max- imum force, when the fly-wheel is at the extreme of its advance, will be 103*77 pounds, and the minimum, in the contrary position, 82*23 pounds ; and this variation is so moderate, that, for most of the purposes to which steam-engines are applied, it would scarcely have any ap- preciable disturbing effect. For the final correction of this remainder, the isody- namic curve must have a length equal to the extent of the action or the springs, or the wheel's oscillations, 2 • 52 inches; and the radius of resistance of the mini- mum force must be to that of the maximum, as the smallest force of the spring is to the greatest, that is, as 82-23 to 103-77. With respect to the minimum weight of fly-wheel that may suffice in a given engine, under these arrangements, it must depend upon the range of action that can be obtained in practicable springs. In the case assumed, the wheel is supposed to have a rim of 1,500 pounds; if half that weight had been taken, the length of the arc of oscillation would have been doubled; and if we could employ springs in which the range of compression would be twice as great as in those proposed, when acted on by the same force, we should have a regulating power of the same efficiency ; and if we desire to perfect the uni- formity of force, we might do so by employing an isody- namic curve of twice the length, keeping the radii which constitute the levers of resistance of the length proposed in the first case, and the action of the engine would be the same. . This invention claims not only to improve, but to per- fect the action of the Reciprocating Steam Engine; it is simple, of easy and inexpensive construction, and but little liable to go out of repair. A proper method of trying the action of the model is, to stand at the right- hand side, holding one of the arms of the fly-wheel in the left hand; then applying the palm of the right hand to the fixed arm in advance, and forcing the arms apart. It will require a force of about 40 pounds to bring the springs into action. 76 Craddock, Thomas, Ranelagh Works, Pimlico— Inventor and Manufacturer.

The fire annihilator, a portable machine, for extinguish- ing fire. This apparatus will, when occasion requires, instantaneously discharge, with the power of steam, an atmosphere of gases and vapour, possessing the property of suddenly subduing and rapidly extinguishing fire, without saturating the unburnt property. The vapour emitted from the machine, by its expansive force, inter- mixes with the fire, whether in a confined space or in the open air, while the air about the fire is rendered inno- cuous. The property the vapour has of circulating in the flames, and permeating amongst the burning goods, gives it the power to extinguish fires that may be unap- proachable and inextinguishable by water. The machines and the chemical charges are not liable to get out of order by time or change of climate, and the management is so simple and easy that any one may use and recharge them. Directions for Use.—"With the knob of the stopper strike down the pin beneath it. A dense cloud of vapour in- stantaneously rushes forth, which being cast upon the burning materials extinguishes the fire. 1 I T Description of the Apparatus.—A and B, cases forming a close chamber to contain water up to the level of the screw vent-plug Z, and the air in the annular space above.

F, the inner lid, having a neck, X, to keep it down in its place. G, the cover, having a discharge-pipe, V. H, an iron-pin supported by a special spring. I, the stopper. K, the charge; composition of nitre and gypsum. L, the igniter, being a glass sheath, containing a bottle of mixture a chlorate of potass and sugar, and a small bottle of sulphuric acid. The action is as follows:—the pin being forced down breaks the igniter bottles; the siilphuric acid, fal- ling on the chlorate of potass and sugar, ignition takes place; the flame of the ignition mixture spreading over the upper surface of the charge, the charge instanta- neously ignites, and evolves heated gases, which, in their passage through the perforated cylinder, impinge against cylinder B, expand the contained air, and produce steam between A and B, by which the water is forced up through the tubular passage. The vapour of the water, mixing with the hot gases, escape together from the dis- charge tube, in a dense expansive cloud, and are con- tinuously delivered until the charge and the water are expended. 93 Fire Annihilator Company, Office and Depot 105 Leadcnhall Street, City—Producer.

K., (7ornA^7?—Proprietor. 1. McNaught's steam-engine indicators, for measuring and recording pressures; used principally for ascertaining the power and working order of steam-engines, for which purpose a communication is made between the cylinder of the engine and the cylinder of the indicator. The varying pressure of the steam acting on the piston of the indicator, raises or depresses the pencil in opposition to the internal spiral spring, and registers itself on the paper. [To ascertain by this apparatus the pressure at various points of the stroke of the engine, the paper is moved by a string attached to some working part of the engine, so that its motion may coincide with that of the engine piston. By the shape of the diagram thus traced, the exact power given out by the engine (as distinguished from " nominal power"), the most advantageous adjust- ment of the valves, the friction of the engine, the power required by any portion of the machinery, the neglect or attention of the engine-driver, and the friction of the machinery when using different oils, can be ascer- tained. The instrument is fitted with two springs and a double scale, one for high-pressure steam divided to a small scale, and one for low pressure, to a scale of twice the size. The importance of an indicator may be estimated from the enormous amount of fuel consumed in this country for steam-power, a large qumtity of which would be saved were the value of the indicator better understood by the proprietors of steam-engines.] 2. Drawing of section of large indicator, showing the construction. 3. Indicator diagrams to an enlarged scale. 4. McNaught's oil-testing machines._ In spiniung, weaving, &c., a large number of small spindles are kept in rapid motion, and if lubricated with an inferior oil, tl\eir friction, and, consequently, the non-productive load on the engine, is materially increased. A small quantity of the oil to be tested is poured into the cup, a plate U then placed on the top of the oil, and the cup set in rapid motion. The plate is dragged round also, by the tenacity of the oil, and raises the weight on the steel- yard* by adjusting which, until an equilibrium is esta- blished, the friction of the oil can be read off on the scale. Invented by W. McNaught, C.E., of Glasgow. 5. Design for the application of McNaught's patent ex- pansive principle to a 30-horse engine. By this plan, high-pressure steam can be applied with safety to engines which have been designed originally for low-pressure steam only. A small cylinder is applied at the crank end of the beam, at about half-stroke, and the steam from it passes into the existing cylinder, where it expands, and whence it finally escapes into the condenser, in the usual way. By this means, a saving of from 30 to 40 per cent, of fuel is effected, and the power of the engine may be increased, if desired, to the same extent. 102 Potts, J., Stockton-on-Tees—Manufacturer. Complete working model of the high-pressure steam- engine, with several parts made of glass, as the cylinder and steam chest, showing the working of the piston and steam slides, and the internal structure of the engine. [This may be called the transparent high-pressure steam-engine, the invisibility of the steam being a cause of wonder to many observers. Such a model is of the greatest utility to lecturers and others engaged in teach- ing the principles of practical science,] 103 Hodges, B. J., Grove House Lodge, Outer Circle, Regenfs Park—Inventor. Working sectional model of a marine condensing steam- engine, for the use of schools and institutions. 104 Sharp, William Douglas, Swindon, Wilts— Inventor. Steam-engine, with improved valves, valve-gear, &c. The valves may be described as an elongation of the cylinder at each end in which the valves work; they are formed similar to, and of the same diameter as the piston, only that they are made hollow, with openings left in them large enough for the exhaustion. The ports form narrow openings extending quite round the cii*cum- ference of the cylinder. The advantage of this description of valve is, that it gives a. free inlet and outlet to the steam, which cannot be obtained with the slide-valve, especially at high velocities, as in the locomotive-engine, where the loss arising from this cause ranges from 30 to 50 per gent. Another advantage which this valve also possesses is, that the pressure on the back of the valve, which is so detrimental to the working of the slide-valve in locomotives and other high-pressure engines, is avoided. Although the eccentric is quite applicable for working this description of valve, a motion is substituted which has many advantages; which, with the reversing motion, will be understood from inspection. One valve-shaft is sufficient for a pair of engines, care being taken to make the angle between the point of contact of the cams with the valve-rods the same as that formed by the cranks. The mode of working expansively is only indicated by the cross-rod and the double joint on valve-rod. 105 Bevan, Hopkin, Llanelly—Inventor.

The lower edge has a channel, C, cut in it from end to end, as shown in the cross section. The air rushing along these channels keeps the bars partially cool, and escapes in a heated state into the furnace at each end of the bars through the openings at a a, formed by cutting off the top coi-ners, 6 6. of the bars. 122 Hurry, H. C, 81 King Street, Manchester—Inventor. A model, showing improvements in lubricating. Pa- tent dated May, 1850. The novelty consists in forming a chamber for the oil within or about the part to be lubri- cated. The advantage assumed is, that perfect lubrication is thus obtainable without waste of oil. The annexed illustration represents, in section, a portion of the cylinder and piston of a stationary steam-engine, showing the im- provements exemplified by the model, as applied to stuff- ing-boxes, and to fibrously packed pistons; a a is a per- forated hoop placed in the middle of the packing, to form a chamber for the reception of oil about the part to be lubri- cated; c c is a reservoir for containing the supply; 6 6 are tubes of communication between the reservoir (c) and the hoop (a); e f is an apparatus for charging the reser- voir (c) periodically; this is also, in some cases, effected by a hole drilled down the piston-rod, or by a plug-hole in the cylinder cover, and an independent funnel of peculiar form. [In order to render the lubrication of machines effec- tual, the surfaces should be supplied with a fine stream continually flowing. The apparatus in question is in- tended to effect this result with a smaller amount of loss of material than usual.—S.

Locomotive engine and tender, constructed at the Com- pany's works at Swindon. One of the ordinary class of engines constructed by this Company for passenger traffic since 1847. It is ca- pable of taking a passenger-train, of 120 tons, at an ave- rage speed of 60 miles per hour, upon easy gradients. The evaporation of the boiler, when in full work, is equal to lOOO-horse power, of 33,000 lbs, per horse—-the effective power, as measured by a dynamometer, is equal to 743 horse power. The weight of the engine, empty, is 31 tons; coke and water, 4 tons—^engine in working order, 35 tons. Tender empty, 9 tons; water, 1,600 gallons, 7 tons 3 cwt.; coke, 1 ton 10 cwt.—total 17 tons 13 cwt. The heating surfaces are, fire-box 156 feet; 305 tubes 1,759 feet. Diameter of cylinder, 18 inches; length of stroke, 24 inches; diameter of driving-wheel, 8 feet; maximum pressure of steam, 120 lbs. The actual consumption of fuel in practice, with an average load of 90 tons, and an average speed of 29 miles, including stoppages (ordinary mail train), has averaged 20-8 lbs. of coke per mile. A traversing-frame as used upon the Great Western Railway, manufactured by Mr. G. Hennett, Bridgewater, for transferring railway carriages from one line of rails to any other parallel line. Short inclined planes are attached to each end, up which the carriage is run upon the flanges of the wheels, and which are there raised clear of the rails by means of a pedal. The main lines of rails are usually lowered about an inch at the place where the frame is placed, so as to diminish by about half the amount what the carriage has to be raised. A model of a safety stop or switch for a siding, worked together with the signal by the same lever as the switch of the siding ; also of double signals for a junction line worked by the switchman.

The object of this contrivance is to prevent accidents on railways caused by carriages or trucks getting acci- dentally out of sidings, and thereby occasioning collisions with passing trains. Any carriage or truck can be pushed into a siding, but cannot come out again without being purposely removed. 507 Lee, John, 103 Long Aa^e—Inventor and Patentee. Full-sized under carriage, with Lee's patent railway breaks and axle-box. These breaks act directly from the axle and box of the wheels with a wedge-power shoe, which bears against the wheels and rails. The shoe has a long surface bearing on the rail of 18 inches of com- pound adhesive metal. The inefficient breaks commonly in use produce only five-eighths, or at most one inch, of bearing or friction from the wheel on the rail, which greatly destroys the wheel tyre and rails, and is insuffi- cient as a stopping power. The friction on the rail of the exhibitor's break has the advantage of 18 to 1 over other breaks, by securing a certainty of biting the rails in wet, foggy, and slippery weather. This break being inde- pendent of the frame of the carriage, is free from the vmpleasant tilting motion and mephitic smell of the old breaks. It is brought into action by one revolution of a powerful screw; another half turn of the screw throws the whole weight of the carriage upon the wedge block- bearing of the break against the wheel and rail, thus freeing the tyre of the wheels from friction, and raising the wheels clear of the rails one-sixteenth of an inch, further rise being prevented; thereby saving the expen- sive wear and tear of the wheels' tyre and rails—a matter of great consideration in the current cost of the stock of railway companies. These breaks can be brought into action on inclines, and relieved again without stopping the train. Full-sized pair of Lee's patent carriage-wheels, with axletrees and axle-box. This patent invention is designed to prevent accidents when the axletree breaks—a circum- stance not of unfrequent occurrence with public convey- ances and railway trains, and is applicable to all kinds of carriages and machinery. When the axletree breaks the wheel will still retain its position, revolve, and carry on the carriage with safety to any distance. The bearings are more than triple the strength and utility of the solid axle. The draught of the horse is greatly reduced by it, and the bearing is proof against the heating or setting fast of the wheel: it carries a large supply of oil to last more than twelve months, and is protected from grit, &c. These wheels can be readily detached and replaced again.

[This engine is suspended from three points at the ends of the machine, the object being to insure the weights on the wheels being at all times the same, and thus producing the greatest amount of steadiness. Atten- tion is also called to the fact that the whole of the machinery is independent of the road: it is thus similar in its action to a fixed engine, and the risk of breaking the crank axle, which frequently occurs in inside cylinder engines, is considered to be thus avoided.] 509 England, George, i/cffc/iam/ro?i IFo/'/iS, New Cross— Inventor and Manufacturer.

It has been proved that this engine is capable of working express trains, of six first-class carriages, at a speed of 60 miles per hour, consuming only 8 lbs. of coke per mile; while, from the centre of gravity being very low, and from the consequent steadiness of working at the highest velocities, an increased degree of safety is obtained, besides doing little injury to the permanent way. It carries coke and water for stages of 50 miles, and is capable of ascending an incline with a greater load than any other engine, in proportion to the size of cylin- ders or expenditure of fuel. 510 Adams, W.

The " Cornwall" Express Narrow-gauge Engine.—London and North Western Railway Company, [The amount of power obtainable in a locomotive steam- engine is to be measured by the diameter of the cylinder, or rather by the area of the piston working m the cylinder, and the pressure of the steam; and the effect with which the power can be applied to produce speed as a result is dependent upon the rapidity with which steam can be pro- duced in the boiler; whilst the economy with which power can be obtained and effect given to it are estimated by the fuel consumed and by the absorption of power by the ma- chinery, and the demand which the engine itself and its tender make upon the otherwise available power. The high pressure which yields power, and the rapid evaporation which gives the means of applying the power directly to obtain speed, are dependent upon the effect with which heat can be applied to the water in the boiler; and hence the amount of surface exposed by a boiler in any North Areas A.

The diameter of the cylinder, the length of the stroke, and the diameter of the driving-wheel of a locomotive en- gine, act and react upon one another. Increase in the dia- meter of the cylinder increasing the area of the piston, and thereby its means of applying the power generated in the boiler, is an advantage checked in a slight degree only by the consequent increase of the friction of the piston in the cylinder: increase in the diameter of the driving-wheel requires increased power to put and keep the wheel in motion, but it gives increased speed to the locomotive as a body with the same speed of the piston in the cylinder; but increase in the diameter of the driving-wheel re- quires increased strength in the cranks of its axle, and thereby greater length of stroke, whilst greater length of stroke increases the time of the stroke, and conse" quently the time of a revolution of the driving-wheel.— W.

Model of a driving wheel for railway engines, devised to prevent slipping when going up inclines. By the use of this wheel the engine may be reduced in weight, and the wheel rendered stronger, whilst it takes no more room than that now in use. [The power of a locomotive railway engine is avail- able for onward motion only by the bite or grip of the surface of the driving-wheel on the rail, and as the hite is created by the weight upon the wheel, the surfaces in contact being practically smooth, as the weight of the engine is reduced the hite becomes less tenacious, and the power of the engine may be expended in making the driving-wheel revolve without corresponding onward mo- tion of the train. The method exhibited appears to promise to obtain the requisite hite or grip of the driving wheel, or to prevent the wheel from slipping, or from tui-ning round without onward progress, by means independent of weight upon the wheel.—W.

The models are provided with apparatus showing that railway trains may be prevented from going off the rails either from the effects of collision or dangerous obstruc- tions, and from the danger of delay or stoppage occasioned by the slippery state of the rails, as in the case of Clay Cross Tunnel. 1st, The auxiliary safety wheels are intended to be applied to every foui-th or fifth carriage, midway between the front and hind-wheels ; they turn each on its own axis or pivot, i. e., without an axle arm ; they rise up and fall down, on passing over obstructions, to the extent of 10 or 12 inches, enabling the train to surmount the obstacles, hitherto so fatal, without verging off the rails; they may be set to a greater or less height, and made to drop down 10 or 12 inches below the level of the other wheels when they are forced up by accident, always re- taining possession of the rails, and to turn acute curves with great speed and safety, 2nd, The bolt and socket buffers are placed trans- versely instead of longitudinally ; they rise and fall simultaneously on a bolt or pivot at each side of the chain link, and are kept within each other by means of spiral springs introduced into the necks,' having been closely wound up by the shackle, which tends to prevent oscillation of the carriages.

To guard against delay or stoppage of the train occasioned by the slippery state of the rails in snowy or bad weather, a leading carriage precedes the engine, loaded with sand, and has a seat for a look-out-man, who has the command of a handle to let sand out on the rails when required. The carriage is pointed in front to cut through the air, and has a gi-ated fender in front to remove all obstructions. As no great quantity of sand is at all times requu-ed, heavy goods could be substituted to give suflfi- cient gravity and tenacity of the wheels to the rails; and as the seat for the look-out man would necessarily be much exposed, glass shields could be formed. In proof of the efficacy of the above i^lan, the models have been tested on a circular railway 60 feet in circum- ference, by a train which was propelled at the rate of 40 miles per hour, over obstructions adequate to 12 inches in height, with unerring certainty, but which, without the apparatus, would fly instantly off in a tangent; and it is to be remarked that as the safety wheels bear no part of the weight of the carriages to which they are attached, old wheels, on the score of economy, can be employed; and on the other hand, the adoption of the principle would not be attended with great expense, and railroad travelling would be rendered comparatively safe on the only transit now left open to the public.

Patent fish-chair, or improved joint-chair, applicable to existing railways without removing the present sleepers; and giving continuity to the rails. [There are two kinds of rail-bearings, the chair bearings, and continuous bearings for rails. "With chair bearings the rails are supported at fixed points, from 3 feet to 4^ feet apart, the rail bridging near the intervals. With continuous bearings the rails are laid or bedded upon timbers, termed sleepers, which are in their turn bedded upon the ground, or rather, upon that preparation of the railroad for the permanent way, ballasting. The connection between the rail and the sleeper is made so that the two act together, and are borne in every part alike by the ballast. A transverse tie is required to keep the rails in gauge, or immoveably at the same distance apart; as the conical form given to the face of the tire of the bearing wheels of railway carriages, to enable them to run upon curves without dragging, induces a constant efibrt to force rails. At low speeds, this tendency is not felt; but at high speed, this derangement is very manifest. The sleeper commonly used is of timber in the log, cut into two halves, so as to present its section uppermost, and its round hard surface to the earth. The joint chair is intended to secure the abutting ends of the rails.—W.

Figs. 1 and 2 represent a side eleva- tion and plan of this traversing machine. Dunn's patent turn-table—the rails of the platform are supported throughout their entire length by inclined planes or wedges, which are brought into action when re- quired, and render the table perfectly rigid whilst a train is passing over. Figs. 3, 4, and 5, represent a section and plan of the patent turn-table. Fig. 1. Ormerod and Son's Patent Traversing Machine. Fig. 3. The advantages claimed are, that the carriage to be removed may be received, sustained during the traverse, and discharged, by means of one and the same pair of rails, laid continuously^ or without breaks on an oscillating frame, and the carriage may be thereby transferred from one line of rails to another, without disturbing the fixed- ness of the permanent rails. In figs, 1 and 2, a a are the permanent rails of the line. b b are the traverse rails, fixed at such a level as to allow the flanches of the wheels (c c) of the truck to pass over the permanent rails of the line. i d d and e e are the sides and ends or fi-aming of the truck, supported by six wheels (c c) running upon the traverse rails already described. By the sides (d d) of the truck is supported the axes (/), upon the extremities of which axes are secured the two sides (g g) of the oscillating frame, h h are two transverse pieces, connecting the ends of the two sides {g g) of the oscillating frame together. To the sides (g g) of the oscillating frame are attached the rails {i i) upon which the carriage is supported during its removal from one line of rails to another. North Areas A. B. 10 to 34; C. D. E. 1 to 10, & 19 to 33 ; F. 1 to 32 ; G. H. 1 to 13, & 19 to 26. The raising or lowering of the oscillating frame, together with its rails (i i), is eflfected by the wedges (j j) acting upon the transverse connecting pieces (A h); and through the medium of the levers (/i and I) and rods (ri) either end of the rails {i i) may be depressed, and made to meet and rest upon the permanent rails (a a) of the line. On the carriage being received upon the rails (^ i) of the oscillating frame, the oscillating frame must be brought into the horizontal position by means of the wedges, and after the truck and its load are removed to the desired line of rail, the carriage may then, by the same means, be allowed to descend upon those rails in either direction, as required. In figs. 3 & 4, a, a, a is a section of rail on the main line of way; 6, is the girder upon which the rail is fixed; c, is a sliding beam, the top surface of which is planed, so that by the lever (^) and the wedge-shaped bearings (d), this sliding beam may be raised in contact with the under and planed side of the girders (6), whereby the platform is made rigid. When the platfomi is required to be turned, the sliding beam is lowered by the lever (/), and the platform is left to turn upon the friction pulleys {e e), two of which are shown in fig. 5. 628 CuBiTT, J., Great George Street—Producer.

With the aid of this ma- chine, it is stated that a boy can dress a pair of stones in less time and with greater ease than a millwi'ight on the old plan. 643 Baines, William, Birmingham—Inventor. An improved railway switch. The mode of forming the tongue of this switch gives it stiffness and a broad base to slide upon; when closed, it is locked under the main rail, and the point prevented from rising. The tongues clear their own track, by driving the dirt under the main rail, and not against it, as in the old switch. The cost of construction is less than in the ordinary mode of forming the tongue, which prevents them shutting close, obviating the necessity of personal attendance to keep them in working order, and also the liability of accident if ne- glected. An improved joint chair, the object of which is to sup- port more firmly the joints of the rail. An improved intermediate chair. The two jaws of the chairs are made exactly alike, and are oblique, instead of opposite to each other.

The invention is intended to stop railway trains within a short distance by means of breaks fixed to the carriages, of such a form as to take the wheels off the rails with ease and safety. The breaks are successively brought into action with a rapidity proportionate to the velocity of the train, so as to avoid the danger of sudden jerking. They only require the ap- plication of a lever near the engine, to set in motion a rod, which passes underneath the carriages and communicates with the separate breaks. By moving the train backwards, the wheels immediately become free of the breaks. A simple spring buffer is substituted for those at present in vise. 659 Crutwell & Co., Newport—Inventors, Model of permanent way for railroads. 660 BoYDELL, James, 54 Threadneedle Street—Inventor and Manufacturer.

Railway signal, worked by the agency of electricity; in- tended to obviate the danger of one train overtaking ano- ther. By the use of this signal, trains may always be kept at a given distance apart: a train on passing the signal-post causes a red board to be exposed in daytime, and a red light at night, which signals remain until the train has pro- ceeded a certain distance in advance. The changing of the signal depending on the distance passed over, and not on the time which may elapse after passing the post. 666 Banks & Chambers, German Street, Manchester— Mamifacturers. Railway-carriage wheel, upon Banks' patented invention for inserting steel segments in that part of the tire which is most exposed to friction by running upon the rail. Another, with part of one of the steel segments left out, so as to show the shape of the dove-tailed groove in the tire. The improvement consists in turning a dove-tailed groove in the hollowed or worn part of the tire, and insert- ing solid steel of a particular kind, instead of turning away the surface of the tire to the level of the worn part, or re-tiring the wheel. It is stated that the steel segments do not cost half as much as new iron tires, and that the wheel wears twice as long by this method. [The surface of the tire of a wheel running upon edge- rails—and all railways of recent construction, for travel- ling at least, are laid with edge-rails—bears upon a very narrow breadth of the rail, whilst the whole of the breadth of the rail is small compared with the requisite breadth of the bearing-surface of the tire. As the swerving of the wheel, and of its tire, is in practice very small, that part of the tire which bears upon the rail becomes worn and rendered concave, while the flange and the remaining surface of the tire remain unworn. In this condition the wheel no longer runs freely and smoothly over the rail, and it becomes necessary to put- it into the lathe, and then reduce the uneven part of the tire to obtain a new and even face at the depth of the concave groove, or to put a new tire on the wheel, unless the groove can be filled in and the worn part be restored without subjecting the wheel to either of the two processes.—W.

The wheel is made of wrought-iron, from rolled bars, so as to give strength and lightness to the arms and rim, and so secure uniformity of weight throughout. 674 Dicker, John, Clarence Terrace, 2 EotherfieldStreet, Lslington—Inventor. Improved automatic apparatus for transfeiTing mail bags or parcels, on railways, at any speed, and capable of receiving and delivering them, from the weight of a single letter to that of 701bs. This apparatus consists of a wooden frame and net at- tached, shown in plan A; and an iron post B, fixed in the ground at the side of the railway in a direct line with each other; and a corresponding apparatus afiixed to the side of the carriage C, viz., a projecting arm D, to support and deliver the envelope E (with bags or parcels enclosed), into the net A, which is fitted with conveying guide- lines F, to receive them. These lines are of great im- portance, the acute angle being the part in which the envelope is griped to detach it from the locks; it also prevents the possibility of escaping. G is a folding-net attached to the side of carriage to receive the envelope from the standard B. This apparatus has been long employed with uniform success on the South Eastern Railway.

Improved application of the whistle to locomotive steam-engines. The advantages are said to be as fol- lows:— The steam cannot be turned on the engine without first sounding the whistle. The signal is uniformly given at suitable intervals of time and space, without the agency of the engine-driver. It distinguishes an ^^up" from a ''down" train, and also branch from trunk lines. The whistle is placed at the front, instead of the back of the engine, thereby throwing the sound farther upon the line, and removing the vapour from the eyes of the driver, and the noise from the driver and the pas- sengers. 682 Jackson, P.

Models of three railway carriages, exhibiting the follow- ing improvements:—A rotary and self-acting break, by means of which a train in motion can be stopped witliout shock, and without wear and tear of the wheels or rails. The breaking power is communicated to each carriage in succession throughout the train. Locked buffers, by means of which oscillation is diminished, and the con- cussion occasioned by collision received upon the line of buffer-rods, instead of the carriage frames, by which the separation of the carriages and their liability to be thrown ofi' the rails is prevented. An economical form of spring, applicable to the buffer and draw-rods, and other pur- poses. 686 McNaught, W., 26 Robertson Street, Glasgow— Producer. Montgomery's self-acting railway-break. 690 Handley, William, 26 Great Earl Street, SevenDials —Inventor. Patent break for railway trains, designed to obviate the serious defects of the common railway break. The first advantage it presents is an improvement as to the perma- nent way, which is effected by the use of the long shoe; this, by having 18 inches of bearing surface upon the rails, will slide over the soft or bad places hitherto made worse by the application of the ordinary break, the wheels having only about one inch of surface. The ends of the rails will not be jumped up or flattened by the wheels coming in contact with them, which is now the case, as the wheels resting upon the shoe will in fact press such irregularities down. The second advantage is that, in the locomotive de- partment, the wheel tires are always preserved perfectly circular; and the shoe, by bearing up the wheel when the break is applied, prevents the flat places being formed, and also torsion upon the axles. The wheels, whether of wood or iron, are saved from being strained, and the tires, rivets, bolts, &c. are not so liable to get loose, an evil which is caused by their becoming heated. The carriage frame is also saved from being racked and twist- ed, as the patent break is suspended upon the axle only. This will cause a great saving in the repair of break car- riages. By the adoption of this break, a power is gained when applied to two wheels only, fully equal to the usual breaks applied to six, a feature of no slight importance in cases of danger. This power in retarding a train is also always the same, which is not the case with the common break. The different weights with which the carriages are loaded are continually altering the position of the blocks, which varies the number of turns of the screw necessary to apply the ordinary break; while in wet, greasy weather, it is almost impossible to skid the wheels. The patent break can be applied in less time, and with two or three turns only of the screw, whereas six or seven turns are required with that hitherto in use. It is also free from the usual unpleasant noise, smell, and sensation from friction. Lastly, considerable saving is eJBfected, both in the amount of stock required and in the wear and tear of railway apparatus. The necessity for the introduction of an improved railway break is universally admitted by all engineers and practical men. The breaks in common use are very in- jurious, both with regard to the durability of the wheels and rails. Timber blocks of poplar wood are made to bear hard upon the peripheries of the wheels, so as to stop their revolution. The result is the grinding of many flat places on the tire of the wheels and the abrasion of the rails, occasioning frequent renewal. 691 Chesshire, Edwin, Birmingham—Inventor. Model, showing the principle of an invention for lessen- ing the danger of collisions on railways. This object is proposed to be attained by suspending in bearing sockets, under the centre of the framework of every carriage of the train, a strong iron rod or tube with an expanding head at each end, to be called a ''safety buffer," and moving, when acted upon, in a longitudinal direction; and also by attaching at the hinder end of the train a strong van with a low centre of gravity, for the purpose of receiving the first shock of a collision, should it take place from behind; the engine tender being made to answer a similar purpose should the collision occur at the front. The force of the shock will throw the "safety buffers " into one continuous inflexible rod, by means of which its force will be transmitted to the opposite end. North Areas A. B. 10 to 34 ; C. D. E. 1 to 10, & 19 to 33 ; F. 1 to 32 ; O. H. 1 to 13, & 19 to 26. so as to protect the intermediate carriages. In the case of one train overtaking another, the latter, it is conceived, would be completely protected by this api^aratus. 692 Harvey, D., 3 Cumming Place, Pentonville Hill— Inventor.

Railway break. [The break" is to the railway train what the shoe, skid, or lock is to an ordinary road-carriage, a means of checking its speed, by pressure upon the wheels of some of the carriages, so that they may revolve less freely, and thus destroy the momentum of the machine when it is desired to stop it. The master-break of a train is applied to the wheels of the tender, and is worked by the stoker, under the direction of the driver, whilst the guards act in aid only upon the carriage-breaks as occasion arises.—W. H.] 694 Gray, George, 42 Woodcock Street, Birmingham— Inventor and Manufacturer. Model of a four-wheeled railway carriage or guards' van, fitted with a new and improved break," of great power and instantanous effect; it forms a direct communication between the guard and driver," and acts on the rails only. Amount of rail friction obtained, 15 feet; ordinary breaks have only four inches: its object is to effect a great saving in wear and tear both to wheels and permanent way," by rendering the '^locking or skidding" the wheels unne- cessary, and to prevent collisions, by stopping the train at one quarter of the distance required at present. A lamp in the centre lights the interior of the van, and it can be also made, by moving a snag, to exhibit a signal to the driver and guard to stop. The space under the guard's seat is for dogs, extra lamps, and tools, &c. Adapted to run either first or last in a train, and requires no "turn- ing." The "blocks" of this break are composed of alternate plates of metal and blocks of wood placed the cross way of the grain.

The particular advantages claimed are compactness, durability, and accuracy; the under levers, beams, sup- ports, &c., are made of malleable iron, with welded steel centres, the bearers are lined with welded steel, &c. 775 Richmond, John, Bow, Middlesex—Inventor and Manufacturer. Improved engine counter, applicable also to turnstiles for bridges, &c. This machine is represented in the an- nexed cut. Description of the counter :—The number of strokes made by the engine can be read off at one view without calculation. The leading or unit hand traverses the entire circumference of the large dial, and the hands of the three small dials, Nos. 2, 3, and 4, all revolve in the same direction. The first motion is given by a sliding bar and fixed spring, instead of a double pallet, so that the first wheel cannot be thrown more than one tooth by one stroke of the engine. No skip-wheels are employed, and the hands are all moved by a train of wheels and pinions, so that the motion is regular and progressive. It will be seen that the arrangement is very simple. No. 1, or the large circle dial, contains 100 divisions, and the large hand traverses one division at each beat or stroke. No. 2 dial also contains 100 divisions, each one of which is equivalent to one entire revolution of No. 1 hand, thus registering 10,000 strokes. No, 3 dial is divided in the same manner, registering 100,000 strokes ; and No, 4 dial is divided into 100 parts, registering 1 000,000 strokes. Thus any amount can be read off without error.

New four-wheeled carriage, or improved brougham. The improved design and construction of the carriage- front affords more room inside either for two additional passengers, without the usual heavy appearance of such additions, or increased comfort as an ordinary single- bodied caiTiage. The novelty is the substance of the registration; being two distinct curves instead of only one in the front part, and trimming inside at the back. Its lightness (7 cwt.) and compactness of wheels, and conse- quently reduced draught, render it suited for one horse. A further improvement in this carriage is the principle of communicating with the coachman; the voice-conductor being entirely concealed, and the mouthpiece at each side, instead of at the middle of the back as usual, and suspended from the roof. The design is registered. A series of drawings showing an improved system of curricle-driving, and also of posting with a two-wheel carriage.

Novel apparatus for the working of spindles without straps or cords, for spinning all fibrous substances, and adapted for all spinning machines. The advantage is said to consist in the suppression of cords and straps, in the production of a regular and invariable rotation to the spindles, and consequently a regular tension to the threads. The friction and, consequently, the wear and tear, are said to be diminished, and less than the usual amount of power to be required.—Patented, Apparatus for replacing the Jacquard machine for weaving figured fabrics and tissues; composed of a cylin- der, provided with moveable pegs. When the cylinder rotates, the hammer, in contact with the pegs, is thrown back, and raises the threads of the warp: the apparatus has only 120 pegs, but can have any required number. It is stated that, by this invention, the cards so expensive in the usual Jacquard machine are dispensed with.— Patented. Apparatus for extracting ores from mines and coal-pits. The object of this apparatus is said to be to replace all kinds of machines hitherto used, and especially the ropes, and to economise time.—Patented in England.

The part patented is represented in the annexed cut. The dead spindle, or stud C, is fixed to the rail R, and traverses in the rail H. In the top of the stud a cavity is drilled, and in this cavity a small cylindrical spindle, B, revolves. This small spindle is attached to Sutcliffe's Patent Spinning Frame. the flyer A, the flyer is drawn by the bobbin F, the bobbin is carried upon a revolving tube D, and the re- volving tube is driven by a band from the cylinder. G is the eye of the flyer, which carries the thread. To pre- vent the small spindle and flyer from being jerked or raised from its place, it is made thicker at the lower end, and a brass cap Z, fitted accurately to the spindle, is screwed on the top of the stud, and thus the spindle is kept securely in its place. In this cap the patent con- sists. The drag is produced by the friction of the small spindle against the stud, and by the resistance of the atmosphere against the wings of the flyer. [The objects attained by this process are a high degree of velocity, and a regularity in the tension or dra.g, so as to produce perfect evenness in the yarn. This frame works with a speed of upwards of 6,000 revolutions per minute.—G.

[This machinery exhibits the processes ordinarily em- ployed in the preparation and spinning of worsted yarns, after the wool has been washed and combed. The slivers, or long fibres of combed wool, are prepared by being gradually drawn out in passing through a series of rollers of regularly-increasing velocity. When thus sufficiently extended and attenuated, they are sent forward to the spinning frame, where they are further drawn out, receive the twist requisite to give strength to the yarn, and are wound upon the bobbins. A yard of these slivers is thus drawn out into about 2,000 yards of yarn.—G.

Heald machine. —The machine shown in the drawing, fig. 1, is so constructed as to double and twist the single yarn, and at certain points it braids or plaits the yarn, thus forming the eye or loop of the heddles, without knots of any description, the whole shade or leaf being of one continuous cord. The drawing also shows a small sample of the healds made by the machine, with the eye or loop, as described, which is coated, lined, or covered with a metallic substance suitable for the purpose, which coating or covering has also been patented by the same party. The assumed advantages of these healds are as follows:— One set will outlast fifteen sets of any other sort; more yards of cloth can be produced through them per week, and at the same time the cloth is more perfect, and will weigh heavier per piece, owing to there being less friction upon the warp than is usually caused by the ordinary healds.

Sewing machine (Fig. 2).—This machine is very simple in its construction, and suited to sewing either a circle, [United curve, or straight line, at the rate of 500 stitches per minute. But for a circle or curve the straight rack is removed, and one of a circular form applied to the side of the machine. This rack, in which the cloth is placed, is moved forward by means of a spring, at a given distance for every stitch. There are two threads employed, one of which is carried, in the shuttle, and the other taken from a reel on the top of the machine, and passed through the cloth by the point of the needle, so that when it is withdrawn from the cloth both threads have been locked together, forming a firm and durable stitch.

The cylinders are also made to revolve inwardly or in opposite directions, and the rows of brushes and heckles on the one cylinder are placed in an alter- nating order in regard to those of the other cylinder, as before described. There are also loose stripping bars with guards, that, besides regulating the depth to which the heckles or brushes shall penetrate, doff or throw down the tow from the brushes and heckles, and two smaller cylinders h'^ b-z fitted with brushes for cleaning the working brushes and heckles c, c'. Fig. 8. One of the cylinders, ¥, may, if required, be made to oscillate by means of the link A', A', which, as it rises and falls with the lifter to which it is attached, moves the cy- linder in a horizontal direction to and from the other cy- linder ; the bearings of the oscillating cylinder being made to slide, and attached by a rod to the radius arm to which the stud pin of the wheel is fixed, the whole of the wheels, k^, U, m^, and n\ are thus kept in gear, to answer the varying position of the oscillating cylinder. Eotation is given to the rotating parts of this machine as in the one first described, but the holder is made to traverse or move forward in the trough (which movement may also be applied to the brushing machine) by the combination of a bell crank movement with the rising and falling motion of the trough, as afterwards described. The mechanism for lifting the trough h, is shown in fig. 8, and consists of a combination of pinions kz ks, wheels m, n, cam j9, straps o, pulleys q, and levers r, s, such as is ordinarily used in heckling machines, and well known. When the trough is raised, it pushes up a rod x, which is connected to the long arm of the bell crank y, mounted on a standard affixed to the top of the frame-work a, when a weight W, which is attached to the opposite end of the arm, falls over, and causes the short arm of the bell crank to pull in a rod z^, which draws forward a finger bar x (of the ordinary construction) to an extent sufficient to advance the holder the breadth of one set of heckles or brushes. The tow and shive or dirt doffed or thrown down from the heckles or brushes is in this case received upon an endless chain of bars t, t (instead of the inclined grating represented in the machine first de- scribed), which bars extend the whole length of the machine under the heckles and brushes, and are connected together by two side bands f^, t^. The chain of bars revolves round two friction pulleys v, v, and takes into two pinions u, u (one on each side); by means of which pinions rotation is given to the chain from the same first mover by which the other parts of the machine are put in motion. The shive or dirt falls through between the bars on to the floor, while the tow is carried forward on the top of the bars, and delivered into the trough T*. To separate the tow doffed from each set of heckles or brushes, the space between the endless chain of bars and the cylinders is divided by partitions fig- Ij into as many compartments as there are sets of heckles or brushes; and the receiving trough T^ is also divided into a corresj)onding mimber of compartments. A view of the holder, for this machine, is given in fig. 5, a cross section, and fig. 6, a longitudinal section. It consists of two plates, Nos. 1 and 2, connected traversely by a screw bolt S, and having flanges A, A, at their upper edges, by means of which they are sup- ported in the trough h. The plate No. 2 has two flanges B, B, one on each end, which come within the flanges A, A, of the plate No. 1, and thereby confine the streak at the edges. The inner face of the plate No. 2 is planed perfectly true, and covered with felt, cloth, or some other soft or yielding material; but the plate No. 1 is made on its inner face with flat beads C, and flat grooves D, in alternate order, so that the streak of flax or other material may be the more firmly compressed between the plates without being imduly crimped. At their under edges E, the plates are chamfered off to admit of the holder coming lower down. By this mode of construction, the pins or studs ordinarily made use of to confine the outer edges of the streaks, are dispensed with, and a greater breadth is obtained whereon to spread the streaks, and the holder is also narrowed and rendered more easy to work.

Patent heckling machine for long flax. Spiral flax-spreader for long-flax. The patent spiral or screw-gill frame was invented by Samuel Lawson and W. K. Westley in 1833. The spiral gill machine is adapted for drawing flax, tow, hemp, and silk waste. The sheet spreader or table was invented and used by Mr. Westley, at Hunslet Mill, near Leeds, in 1821. This simple con- trivance was a great boon to the poor females employed in spreading flax, for by its assistance they can either sit or stand in a comfortable position ; whereas, on the old plan, or long-board spreading, one girl was obliged to walk at least from 20 to 30 miles per day, in an inclined position, to spread one-tenth of the flax which she now effects in a sitting posture.

[Common flax is the delicate tenacious fibre surrounding the stems of the Linum usitatissimum, a plant which is ex- I tensively cultivated in different parts of the world, not ' only for the sake of its fibre, but also for its seed (Unseed), North Areas A. B. 10 to 31; C. D. E. 1 to 10, & 19 to 33; G. H, 25, 26. the oil of which is much used. Great Britain is supplied with flax from Russia, the Netherlands, Prussia, and France; small quantities are also received from America, Italy, and New South Wales. The cultivation of flax also forms an important part of the agriculture of Ireland. When the crop has been pulled, the bolls or seed-heads are separated by rippling. The ripple is an instrument like a comb, with smooth round teeth of iron standing about 12 inches out of the wood, and placed so closely together, that the bolls cannot pass through. By drawing the flax, a handful at a time, through the teeth of this comb the seed-heads are separated from the stalks. The flax is then steeped, or retted, in ponds or in run- ning streams, in order that the fibre may be separated from the woody portion of the stem. When the flax is ex- posed to the influence of dews and rain, instead of being steeped, it is called dew retting. In mixed retting the flax is first macerated in water, and the retting is completed in the air. When the flax is dry, the woody portion, or the boon, is separated by breaking. The common brake consists of four wooden swords fixed in a frame to which another frame with three swords is attached by means of a joint, the blades of one frame playing into the interstices of the other. The flax being placed between the two frames, the upper frame is pushed down upon the lower, and by moving the flax about, and repeating the operation, the boon is broken into fragments. The boon is also broken up more expeditiously by passing the flax between rollers. The object of the next operation, scutching, is to sepa- rate the broken boon. This is done by striking the bruised flax with the edge of a flat wooden sword or scutcher, or when the operation of breaking is performed by rollers that of scutching is combined therewith: a number of arms projecting from a horizontal axis are made to strike the stalks in a slanting direction until the useless parts are beaten away. The flax is next divided into lengths. The whole length of the flax varies from 26 to 30 or 36 inches. The part nearest the root is coarse and strong, the middle part fine and strong, and the upper part still finer but not so strong. The flax is divided into three lengths, and the parts from the bottom, middle, and top being collected into separate heaps, or stricks, several qualities of thread are afterwards formed from them. In some cases flax is divided into four or five lengths, called mid- dle, ends, and middle and end-middles. In making these lengths, the ends are required to be rough or jagged; for which purpose the flax is held at both ends, and passed between two pairs of wheels, situated one pair on each side of a wheel furnished with oval teeth: the two pair of wheels hold the flax firmly while the centre wheel, moving with great velocity, divides or tears the flax asunder. The flax is next heckled. By the process of heckling, the filaments of flax are cleaned, split, separated into fine fibres, and arranged in parallel order. The short fibres which are unfit for spinning, together with dust or dirt, are also removed. The heckle, or hackle, is a comb with iron or steel teeth one or two inches long, very sharp and smooth at the points, and arranged at equal distances upon a block of wood. A number of heckles are in use of various degrees of fineness. In using the heckle, the man seizes a strick, or lock of flax, by the middle, throws it upon the points of the coarse heckle and draws it towards him, at the same time with the other hand spreading the flax and preventing it from sinking too deeply among the teeth. By this operation the flax is divided into two parts, namely, the short fibres forming tow, which remains between the points of the heckle, and is from time to time removed, and the long fibres called line, which remains in the hand of the heckler. One half of the length of the strick being pro- perly heckled, the other half is turned round and pre- pared in a similar way. The process is then repeated on the fine heckle, and continued until a fibre of the re- quired degree of fineness is produced. In the heckling machine, a portion of the strick is spread out and held fast in an u-on vice or holder. A number of these are then conveyed to a sort of revolving drum, and hooked on at distances of a few inches ft-om each other, their unsupported ends falling on an internal drum covered with sharp heckling teeth, and revolving with considerable velocity, and in a contrary direction to the external one, the motion of which is slow. When one machine has performed its work, the holder is thrown ofi" upon a rail from which the machine-minder removes it to the second heckling machine, where the other side of the strick is heckled; from the second it is removed to a third, where the points are finer, and so on until the line is sufficiently fine. The tow produced in the above operation being similar to cotton in its fibre, cotton machinery in a modified form has been applied to the spinning of tow. The heckled line is sorted according to its fineness, and is then converted into ribands or slivers. For this pur- pose it is arranged upon a feeding-cloth in such a way, that the ends of the second strick shall reach the middle of the first. As the heckled stricks are thicker in the middle than at the ends, a uniform thickness is thus pre- served. The flax is passed between one pair of rollers, which deliver it through gills or heckling points to a second pair, which, moving with greater speed than the first, increase the length and diminish the thickness of the sliver, which is received into a tin can. A number of these cans being filled, the slivers are doubled and drawn, as in the manufacture of cotton yarn. The spinning of flax does not greatly differ from the throstle-spinning of cotton; but as the fibres of flax have not the same ten- dency to combine together as in cotton, it is necessary to moisten them with water to make them adhere to each other during the process of spinning, and also to render them more pliable and easy to twist. The water used is either of the ordinary temperature of the atmosphere of the mill, or is warmed to 120° Fahr, The water is con- tained in a trough which extends the whole length of the spinning frame. Yarn is made into linen thread by doubling; it is then bleached and formed into balls or wound upon reels into hanks. The size or fineness of linen yarn is reckoned by the numbei of leas to the pound weight; this varies from 15 to 150 or 240, and from that to 300 and 400.—C. T.] 77 Parker, C. E. & C, Dundee, Scotland—Inventors and Manufacturers. Parker's patent mathematical power-loom for weaving navy sail-cloth, and other heavy fabrics. The warp is delivered from four beams at the same time, or from bobbins without any beams. The delivery of the warp is regular and uniform, which secures uniformity in the wefting, the number of weft-threads being the same in any given space. The taking-up motion is so arranged that the tension or strain on the warp may readily be ad- justed to yarns of different strengths or cloth of different weights, and uniformly maintained from the beginning to the end of the web. The loom is self-acting in all its parts, and from the commencement to the termination of the web, no change or alteration is required. North Areas A. B. 10 to 31; C. D. E. 1 to 10, & 19 to 33; G.

Until the commencement of the eighteenth century, England was dependent entirely upon Italy for thrown silk for the purposes of the weaver. Machinery made at that time in England failed to accomplish the manufacture satisfac- torily. A Mr. Lombe went to Italy, succeeded by artifice in gaining admission to the mills, and gained an entire insight into the method of manufacture. Escaping at the hazard of his life, he returned to England; erected a large mill on the Derwent, near Derby, where the manufac- ture was shortly established, and soon attained great prosperity.

The chief advantage of this new arrangement is, that the whole motion or circuit of the type can be made available for printing, whereas, in the fiat machine, more than half the motion of the reciprocating type table is lost: and the reason for placing the cylinder in a vertical position is to obtain more easy access to the type, inking rollers, and other parts of the machine, and to permit more impressing cylinders to be arranged around the North Areas A. 13. 10 to 31; C. D. E. 1 to 10, & 19 to 33; G. H. 25, 26. type drum than can be done when it is fixed hori- zontally. The circumference of the central drum, or path of the type, is exactly 200 inches;—in the machines at the "Times" office eight impressing cylinders surround the type, which therefore print eight sheets at every revo- lution ; but in those machines the type is not truly cylindric, but is segmental, which involves the necessity of using large cylinders, but when the type is purely cy- lindi'ic smaller impression rollers may be used, and the produce very much increased. The machine which is erected in the Exhibition is made to print circular woodcuts and type in the best manner. Each of the four impressing cylinders has 50 inches space for itself and its attendant inking rollers, and the form has the advantage of receiving its ink or colour from several rollers, each of which is loell distributed or evenly covered with ink. The vertical position of the inking rollers also conduces greatly to the production of good work; for the type or engraving is only touched on its extreme surface, while, on the flat principle, where the inking rollers act by gravity, the sides of the type are liable to receive colour. Another advantage is, that any dust in the paper is shaken out by the act of stopping, and falls upon the floor in place of being deposited upon the inking rollers and distributing table as in the flat machine: this is in practice a real advantage, for 50,000 impressions have been taken without once stopping to brush out the form or table. Another technical advantage in the printing of wood engravings, where delicate overlaying is required, is that the impressing cylinders are in direct connection with the type drum, so that no irregularity of motion can occur, and the overlays can be placed precisely where required without any fear of derangement. Attention is also directed to the superior smoothness of the action of the vertical machine, as compared with the heavy blows produced in a flat or reciprocating machine at each change of motion in the ponderous type table and its appendages. The action of the machine is very simple, the " layer on'' draws a sheet of paper towards a small roller in rapid motion, which descends and causes the paper to enter between the vertical tapes which carry it downwards, when, having arrived at the proper position, it is suddenly stopped by narrow upright strips of wood, which advance and slightly compress the sheet between them, the vertical tapes at the same moment releasing it;—the stoppers are then in their turn withdrawn, leav^ing the sheet of paper momentarily suspended by two small pulleys, mounted on delicate springs called finger rollers. The sets of vertical rollers seen in rapid motion on each side of the sheet now advance against it, and impel it sideways towards the impressing cylinder, where it receives the impression from the type; the sheet continues its side motion, supported only by a single pair of tapes, which at the proper place are stopped, leaving the piinted sheet sus- pended until the ''taker ofi"' draws it down upon the taking-off table. The diagram below will explain the action of the ma- chine employed for the "Times;" h,h,h, represent the position of the laying-on tables. The chases which hold the type are made with circular beds, and are securely fixed to the iron rings of the type drum. The column rules are converted by means of screws into tension bars, and they bind the sides of the chase or type-holder together, so that each column can be set up by means of a screw at its foot to any required degree of pressure. The inking rollers, which are seen in a vertical position between the impressing cylinders, are caused to press against the type and distributing table by long coiled springs, adjusted to a proper tension; they receive the ink from a circular distributing surface placed opposite to the type, and which, duiing its revo- lution, rises up and down by travelling upon an undu- lating railway. The ink is deposited upon the distribut- ing table by a roller which occasionally vibrates against the ductor roller of the ink-box. The wheels which connect the type drum and the impressing cylinders are beneath the machine, motion is communicated to the ink-box by the upper bevil wheel seen on the spindle of the type drum, and to the feeders by the lower bevil wheel. The vertical principle admits of great variety of con struction, and is equally applicable to perfecting machines for book work. It is the patent invention of Mr, Augustus Applegath, of Dartford.

Patent atmospheric flour-dressing machine. The usual mode of dressing flour is to brush it through a cylinder clothed with wire, by means of brushes revolving on a spindle or shaft within. The object of this patent is to supersede the use of brushes by means of fans of steel plate, or other suitable material, which, being placed at a certain angle within the cylinder, are found to possess the following advantages:— The fans being placed at ■ some distance from the wire clothing the cylinders, the ordinary friction between wire and brushes is avoided; whereby the wire is prevented from wearing, and a considerable saving of power effected. The flour is perfectly separated from the offal, and, being fanned instead of brushed through the wire, it is much more free from specks or greys than flour dressed in the usual method, while the strong current of air to which it is subjected causes an improvement in the quality, and the wire also is kept constantly clear while dressing. Brushes are a continual source of expense, whereas it is scarcely possible to wear out a set of fans. The case or box which contains the cylinder is furnished with a hole at each end for the purpose of supplying the air required by the fans, which air, when it has been driven, together with the flour, through the wire clothing of the cylinder, is carried off by means of a chimney into the meal-hutch above. The speed varies from 14 to 16 sacks per hom^ with an 18-inch cylinder, from four to five sheets being used for flour. 440 Sharp, Stephen, Stamford—Inventor and Manufacturer. Sugar-cutting machines.

This mill consists of two pairs of stones, with conical grinding surfaces, fixed on one shaft. The upper pair crushes the wheat, the finer parts of the flour produced thereby are instantly driven away through a cone of wire placed under them; the residue of the meal then passes through the lower pair of stones, where the grinding is completed. The superior advantages of this system of grinding are— 1st. Eight to ten bushels of wheat can be completely and perfectly ground per hour. 2nd. Is a very considerable saving of power. 3rd. The meal is delivered from the stones quite cool, having undergone no pressure; the flour will conse- quently keep in good condition, and be therefore less likely to be injm-ed by any atmospheric change. 4th. A better quality of flour is produced than by the common mode of grinding. 5th. The stones are more easily kept in truth, and take much less time in dressing. 448 FiELDHOUSE, G., & Co., Wolverhamptou— Inventors. Mills on pillar-stand for grinding coffee and pepper, with two fly-wheels, friction boxes, and multiplying wheels.

This machine will supply two bottlers, one at each end, and is capable of producing from 300 to 400 dozen per diem. The general arrangement combines two distinct machines in one frame, which can be worked together, or separate, as may be required. A, is the condenser of gun-metal, tinned or silvered inside, and separated by a partition in the middle, thus forming two condensers in one. Each half provided with an agitator, driven by the wheels B, for intermixing the gas and water. C, C, are two condensing pumps, each having regulating cocks, D, D, for the admis- sion of gas water, E, E, are two bottling cocks, attached to their respective halves of the condenser A, The pumps are worked by a beam F, similar to that of a steam engine, having a connecting rod at one end attached to a crank, with fly-wheel and two handles. The pumps are attached to the beam by side rods at G, G, When the crank is in action, the beam by its reciprocating motion causes the plungers H, H, underneath the pumps, to ascend and de- scend in the barrels of the pumps, forcing at each succes- sive stroke, the gas and water together into the condenser. About ten minutes is required to get the charge up, and when this is done, the bottling goes on without interrup- tion. The machine is kept constantly going during the bottling. The corks having been properly regulated and the supply kept up, as much carbonic acid gas and water will be forced into the condenser as will equal that which is being drawn off by the bottlers, thus keeping a conti- nuous supply.

Apparatus for bottling liquors, and machine for cork- ing bottles. The principle of the bottling apparatus is the filling of bottles through syphons, from an open ves- sel, into which the liquor flows from the cask, in a stream so regulated as always to maintain the liquor in the ves- sel at nearly the same level. [The principle of the corking machine, is, to force the cork into the bottle through a conical tube in contact with its mouth, so placed as to form one continuous tube with its neck, and having the lower orifice so small that the cork must be considerably compressed in passing through it.] 623 Thomson, Andrew, & Younger, W., & Co.— Designers and Inventors, Apparatus for heating and cooling worts in the process of fermentation. [Wort is the fermentable infusion of malt. In the apparatus for heating and cooling worts, the hot liquor is passed through a series of pipes encased in others, through which the cold liquor passes in a contrary direc- tion: thus the hot liquor meets a progressively cooler medium, and, on the contrary, the cold liquor comes in contact with a hotter. The object is the saving of fuel. —W. D. L. R.] 624 Cooper & Bursill, Eastbourne, Sussex, and 9 Fork Terrace, Hornsey Road—Proprietors.

This Class embraces a variety of objects directly or indirectly connected Avith the purposes of construction. While the preceding had reference to the personal or domestic wants of mankind, this occupies a wider field, and includes contrivances adapted to the preparation of public works, as well as of private dwellings, and embraces the sciences of architecture and civil engineering in their most extensive sense. The general title of the Class, " Civil Engineering, Architecture, and Building Contrivances," sufficiently indicates its extent and defines its limits. The following subdivisions include all that can be properly said to belong to this department of the Exhi- bition :—A. ComjDrises Foundations and Building Contrivances connected with Hydraulic Works, such as Piles and Pile-driving, Cofl:er-dams, Diving-bells, Boring Tools, &g. These are necessarily represented by models only, or in great part, as the works themselves are of too great magnitude for exhibition. B. Scaffolding and Centerings for the erection of Chimneys, Columns, Towers, Bridges, &c. ; Portable Scaffoldings, Ladders, Fire- escapes, &c.; Centerings for Arches, Domes, Vaults, &c. C. Forms an important subdivision, comprehending Bridges, Tunnels, and Engineering contrivances for crossing ravines, &c. D. Relates to Dock, Harbour, River, and Canal Works. E. Lighthouses and Beacons. F. Roofs, Buildings, and contrivances for covering large areas. G. Water-works, and the Engineering contrivances connected with the obtaining, storing, and distribution of Water in towns. H. Gras-works, and contrivances connected with the economical production of Artificial Light. I. Sewerage, Cleaning, Paving, and the contrivances connected with the sanitary conditions of towns. J. Warming and Ventilating Domestic Residences, and contrivances for such purposes. Objects in this Class are found in the Building at the western end of the North Gallery, and also in the Areas and Avenues partlj^ occupied by Classes 5 and 6 in the Ground-floor, North side. Several beautiful models connected with this Class have likewise a place in the Central Avenue or Nave. Containing a number of costly and beautiful models of many of the great triumphs of civil engineering and architecture, this Class presents an interesting view of the state and capabilities of the sciences it represents at the present day. Among the objects included under the subdivision of Bridges, &c., will be found some of the most elaborate and accurate models probably ever constructed. Some of these are so minutely correct, that it is stated that even the threads of the screws are reduced to a scale. Tubular, suspension, and other bridges, are represented by some of these models, which are on a large scale. Chain-j)iers, and piers of other descriptions, each indicative of their applicability to the particular purposes for which they are designed, or to the positions occupied by the originals, are also exhibited in their models. The application of iron chain-cables to purposes of this kind, and its history, are recorded in this Catalogue and illustrated in the Exhibition. A variety of bridges on new principles, or upon new modifications of principles already known, are also shown, and their respective merits are capable of being ascertained in the models. Dock and harbour works are also adequately represented by their respective models. Among others is a model of the Breakwater in Plymouth Sound, executed in limestone, and presenting a favourable idea of that great work. The lens-apparatus of lighthouses, in most recent and improved forms, is exhibited not by models but by the apparatus itself. A large number of models are of works proposed to be executed, and convey a strong impression of the various directions in which inventive skill is exercised. Interest will be excited by many well-executed models of structures in cast and wrought iron. The application of these metals to the pur- poses of construction, so largely illustrated in the Exhibition Building itself, forms an important feature in the history of modern architecture, and is also represented by various models of conservatories, such as the great Palm-house at Kew, roofs of railway stations, &c. The miscellaneous contrivances connected with the simpler construction and arrangements of private dwellings are found in great numbers. Many of these relate to ventilation, to windows, doors, and chimneys, and appear to promise improvements of importance in these respects. The study of this Class is instructive, as the means of attaining an approximate idea of the present state of the sciences of civil engineering, architecture, and construction in our own country. The objects illustrating the Class can scarcely be said adequately to represent the subjects embraced by the Class, since they lose the advantage of being seen of their due dimensions. While in Class 5 it is possible to exhibit the actual machine engaged in raising the Britannia Tube to its site, in the present Class the Tube itself, the most wonderful engineering structure of its kind, can only be exhibited in a model, bearing but a small proportion to the size of the original. This is of little moment to the engineer or architect, but to others, unaccustomed to estimate from a scale. Class 7 does not appear so imposing as the jjreceding Classes, although in reality it contains practical representations of the most miglitj^ works of construction undertaken by my nation in recent times.—• R.

Model of the central arch of the Ouse-burn and Wil- lington viaducts of the Newcastle and North Shields Railway, erected by John and Benjamin Green, in 1837-8. Geometrical drawing and view of the Ouse-burn via- dvict; also of the Willington viaduct. The piers and abutments are of stone: each arm is composed of three ribs, formed to the proportionate curve shown in the model. Every rib is put together wdth 3-inch deck deals, in lengths of from 20 to 45 feet, and two of the deals in width. The first course is formed of tw 0 whole deals in width, and the next of one whole and two half deals; and so on alternately until the whole rib is formed. Each rib consists of 15 deals in height or thickness, and the ends are butted one against the other, breaking joint, so that no two of the horizontal or radiating joints shall come together; the whole are con- nected with oak trenails, or pins, each of which passes through three of the deals in thickness. Between every deal a layer of brown paper, dipped in boiling tar, is laid, to secure the joints from being affected by wet, and so as to make the timbers bed tightly one upon another. The ends of each rib are inserted into large cast-iron shoes or sockets, which are fii-st fixed to the springing stones of the masonry, and secured with long iron bolts, four to each plate, run in with lead; the three ribs are connected together with diagonal braces and iron bolts. The spandrils formed by the arches, being great, on account of the span, the framing is made in proportionate strength. A beam, 14 inches square, is fixed about the middle of the sj)andril, inclining upwards to the crown of the arch, from which struts are carried, both above and below it; the above, are perpendicular to the longitudinal beams of the roadway,—and those below, are radiating to the centre of the arch. The longitudinal beams under the roadway are 14 inches square, and transverse joists, 3 feet 6 inches apart, and projecting about 2 feet on each side, are laid across to receive the 3-inch planking, which is covered with a com- position to form a roadway. The spandril-framing is connected and bound, both to the roadway and to the ribs, by means of hon bolts, straps and keys, in the diffei'ent situations shown on the model. One of the radiating struts in each spandril is carried on from the rib to the longitudinal beams, pass- ing through and run down the piers about 8 feet. In this system of timber-bridge building, the straight trussing in the main principle of support is dispensed with, for the spandril-framing must not be looted upon as such; it is merely a combination of wood-work, to convey the weight coming upon the roadway on the simjile curved rib, and all timbers in a state of tension are avoided; for when a weight comes upon a roadway, the whole structure undergoes compression. [The cost of the Ouse-burn viaduct was 24,500/. That of the Willington viaduct was 23,002/. It was when engaged in designing the bridge for crossing the River Tyne at Scots wood, in 1827-8, that Mr. Green first pro- jected the laminated arch; but the depth of water, its rapidity during floods, and the uncertainty of the foun- dations, rendering the building of many piers expensive, caused Mr. Green to recommend a suspension bridge at this spot. On the day of opening of this suspension bridge, 12,000 persons rushed on at once, when the weight on its centre was not less than 468 tons, and it proved capable of sustaining this weight.—S.

B., b New Palace Yard, Westminster— Designer. Model of the royal terrace pier at Milton-on-Thames, next Gravesend, designed by the exhibitor, and made by Salter of Hammersmith. The pier is constructed of iron by Fox and Henderson. The pillars are founded upon piers of brickwork and masonry below the bed of the river, resting upon the solid chalk substratum, at a level of 14 feet below low water of spring tides. These founda- tion piers were erected without the expensive aid of coffer- dams, by the novel means of cast-iron cylinders six feet in diameter, kept always above the rise of the tide, the upper portions being removed as each pier was finished. 13 Bermingham, Thomas, Clarendon Lodge, Sandy- mount, Dublin—Improver. A box of improved patent compasses. The legs, which draw out, have fine needle points, and a pen and pencil to turn on a swing, forming a useful set of instruments in one.

A model of Thenard's moveable flood-gates or lifts, called *'hauses," for rendering rivers navigable, and supplying the place of fixed stone weirs, which exhibits a mode of fixing the lifts, or hauses, at the bottom of the river, so as to prevent stonework impeding the current. They are cheaper than weirs; prevent the flooding of adjacent lands; and are useful in fisheries, mill-power, arterial drainage, and navigation. They are in operation in the river L'Isle, in France. 14 Jeffery, Robert, Upper North Place, Gray's Inn Road-—Inventor. Railway tunnel signal, intended to prevent accident to a train while in a tunnel, from being overtaken by another train. At present, if from slackness of speed, temporary stoppage, or any impediment, a train is detained in a tunnel, great alarm is felt by the passengers, lest the following train should overtake it. This invention ex- hibits a large white disc by day, and a lamp by night, either of which is self-acting; and it is displayed con- spicuously at the upper edge of the arch, immediately on the train entering, remaining in sight until the train leaves the other end of the tunnel, when it instantly disappears. This is repeated whenever a train enters and quits the tunnel, without any assistance. The following train is always reminded by the presence or absence of the disc or lamp, whether the tunnel is clear or not. It also in- dicates to the authorities, by any unusual length of time during which the disc is in sight, the existence of some interruption in the tunnel. 15 Hammond, Richard Charles, 4:5 Baldwin's Gardens, Leather Lane, Holborn—Inventor and Manufocturer. Model of a convex-chain suspension bridge. 16 Pratt, Major, 7 Upper Ar^ea, Hung erford Market —Inventor, Moveable flight of steps, for tidal rivers. The steps are entirely independent of each other.

Model of a patent slip, for hauling up ships, of the largest class, for repairs—a cheap substitute for dry docks —with model of a frigate. [Slips for hauling up ships for repair were very early used at the Mediterranean ports; but the mechanism which removed the excessive labour of the operation was invented and patented by Mr. Morton in 1818. Before this system was adopted, the cost of hauling up a ship of 500 tons was 170/.; it is now reduced to 3/. A slip may be constructed for one-eighth part of the expense of a dry dock. Upon a well-constructed slip, a steam-engine exerting 1-horse power for every 100 tons will draw a ship at the rate of 2^ feet per minute,—S, C] 25 Martin, John, Lindsey House, Chelsea— Designer and Inventor.

Model, in limestone, of the breakwater in Plymouth Sound, on a scale of 1 inch to 42 feet, vsdth silver light- house and beacon, made for the Exhibition, under the direction of the Lords of the Admiralty. The breakwater North Gallery, and with Classes 5 & 6. was commenced on 12tli August, 1812, agi^eeably to a Eepoi-t dated 21st April, 1806, of the late John Rennie, civil engineer, and of Joseph Whidbey, a Master of the Royal Navy ; and has been constructed under the auspices of the Lords of the Admiralty. Its length is 5100 feet at the top, and about 1 mile or 5280 feet at bottom, being nearly three times the length of the Ex- hibition Building. At the top, it is 45 feet wide, and has a slope to seaward of 5 to 1, and a slope to landward of 2 to 1. It is already composed of 3,768,879 tons of stone. It has been 38 years in construction, and has cost the nation about 1,500,000/. The area of Plymouth Sound is 1800 acres, and within the breakwater there is anchorage for 40 line-of-battle ships, besides a fleet of merchant vessels. The exhibitor of the model, who is the resident engineer, has been connected with this un- dertaking for 40 years. The lighthouse and beacon on the breakwater were designed by Messrs. Walker and Burgess, civil engineers. Polished marble slab, on pedestals, from the break- water quarries. Model, in limestone, of a general section taken through a part of the centre of the breakwater, with wood-jetty and crane, showing dove-tailed stones and truck on jetty. Model, in limestone, of a section of the breakwater, taken through the buttress and foundation of the light- house, with inverted arch at the west end; and showing dove-tailed stones. Circular le\\dses, used in lifting and setting stones at the breakwater, invented by the exhibitor in 1808. Model, in mahogany, of a breakwater stone vessel. Models of the breakwater and lighthouse, set in marble, (ifam Averme West.) [The breakwater in Plymouth Sound is formed by the deposit of stone in unshapen blocks of various sizes, but disposed upon a regular plan as a huge, rough, broad- based wall, mole, mound, or dike, massive enough, if it be compact enough, to check, if not wholly to stop the roll of the sea under the influence of gales of wind, and to render the part of the Sound within it a safe anchorage during gales from the south-west. The Isle of Wight is a breakwater afforded by nature to Portsmouth, and the breakwater in Plymouth Sound is the result of an endea- vour to supply Plymouth with some compensation for its natural deficiencies. The breakwater is a mass of rock-like blocks of stones deposited in a heap at random, as far as regards the placing of the blocks of stone, though the heap takes the form, in plan and section, which the model exhibits. In this circumstance, that it is a deposit and not a construction, the weakness of the breakwater consists. The blocks on the outer slope, or foreshore, are liable to be taken up singly and displaced by the action of the sea upon it, deprived as every Ioosb block is (and the bulk of the work still consists of loose blocks) of two- fifths of its weight when immersed in sea-water ; and probably no heavy sea runs into Plymouth Sound with- out occasioning change of place to some of the blocks of the outer slope. The blocks range from one ton to five tons in weight—a block of limestone weighing five tons being in bulk equal to a cube of 4 ft, 6 in. or a yard and a half on every side. The greatest quantity of the ma- terial is of the smaller sizes, and is known as rubble; but many blocks have been deposited of considerably more than the largest size named, and many even of these have been known to be taken up by the sea fi'om the outer slopes and thrown upon the crest of the mound, whilst thousands of tons, have since the commencement of the work been thrown over the mound from the outer to the inner slope. It may be questioned whether the breakwater is not, at this time, from this cause, further up the Sound than when it was originally planned. The breakwater is disposed in three connected com- partments—the central, or main body, which is 1000 yards long, and the eastern and western parts respec- tively, which are each about 350 yards long, above high water. The Digue, or breakwater, at Cherboui-g, opposite to Plymouth on the other side of the Channel, is, in like manner, mainly a mass of deposited rvibble, but of gene- rally smaller-sized stones. It is more than double the length of Plymouth breakwater, or about 2^miles.—W.H.] 29 The Royal Scottish Society of Arts, Edinburgh— Producer. A square bar of Low Moor iron, of sviperior quality, 2i inches square, twisted, in a cold state, into a spiral form by the action of the steam-engine, while carrying the borer of a cylinder which had suddenly stuck fast. Model of a suspension bridge, designed to show the best position of the under stays (which are not placed symmetiically, but at irregular distances from either end of the bridge) to prevent the destructive effects of vertical oscillation, [After the most careful calculation of the strength of iron, when subjected to the application of force, in the direction of its length, or its tensile resistance, bridges constructed of iron-chains and rods, which promised to last as long as those made of stone, have suddenly given way. The principal cause of the sudden disruption of the rods or chains of an iron suspension-bridge, and its consequent fall, is the tendency to vibration or oscil- lation in the whole structure from its vmiformity and catenarian form. A chain-bridge, from its very nature has a tendency to swing to and fro, and unless this be prevented by ties or fastenings to some rigid structure fixed in the ground, it will, after a certain number of regular oscillations, snap in two at the weakest part, in consequence of the momentum acquired by the swinging mass.—R.

An illustrative model of a bar-trellis suspension bridge, to make a more secure and cheap roadway over rivers, without obstructing the navigation by high-masted vessels. The greatest part of the weight is laid on the lower parts of the suspension towers, by tapering the construction throughout from the base, beginning with strong suspend- ing bars, and decreasing their strength to the summit, so that the tops of the towers shall have the least possible weight upon them, trussing and bracing together the sus- pension bars. The shortest suspension bars being made the heaviest, and the longest bars the lightest, without affecting their efficiency, each being constructed so as to be equal to its task, expense is saved by lessening the quantity of material to be used, and undulation and lateral motion as in chain bridges avoided, the bracing and trussing giving rigidity and a united hold. 42 Woods, F. F., 5 Pelham Terrace, Brompton— Inventor, Patentee, and Manufacturer. Patent union paving, for public and private roads; a new application of materials, being a combination of wood and stone; designed to possess the following advantages :— Less noise than stone-paved roads; less mud than roads made with loose stones; less slippery than wood paving; besides having a better foothold for horses, and being more durable than the latter. The principle of this invention consists in the applica- tion of stone and wood to the construction of a paving material, which is effected in the following manner: the stone which is employed for the puqDOse, is broken into pieces, and inserted in grooved or perforated blocks of wood, as in fig. 1, which is a section of one of the blocks, showing the position of the broken pieces of stone in the grooves or holes of the block. Fig. 1. Block of Woods' Union Paving. The grooves or holes in the wood are about 3 or 4 inches deep; 2 or 2^ inches wide, and 2 inches apart. The pieces of stone are diiven into the grooves tight with a hammer, and their angles or corners are made to penetrate the wood at each side, so as firmly to retain their position. The pieces of stone are driven hard on to the wood at the bottom of the gi-ooves or holes, which are previously lined with a small portion of a compo- sition consisting of small gravel and ground lime. When the grooves or holes are filled up with the pieces of stone, a portion of the same composition is poured over the surface, and compressed with a brush or otherwise, in order to fill up any interstices that may remain between the stones and the wood. There are various designs which may be formed for the aiTangement of the grooves, either for beauty or utility; and circular holes may be also used, according to a variety of patterns. These ought to be of 3 or 4 inches diameter, and within an inch or half an inch of each other. When straight grooves are used, which are most easily constructed, the North Gallery, and with Classes 5 & 6. illustrations in fig. 2 and fig. 3 will show the appearance which the paving will assume. These designs may be applied to blocks of any size. Straight grooved Blocks ; parallel and continuous. Fig. 3. Straight grooved Blocks ; parallel and discontinuous. When the grooves are cut in a ziz-zag form, the illus- tration, fig. 4, shows the appearance of the pavement. This design is to be applied to planks 3 inches by 11 inches. Fig. 4. Zig-zag grooved Planks. The fourth illustration, fig. 5, shows a design in- tended for the use of round timljer, and causing but small waste in preparation. The holes in these blocks are cut in the form of equilateral triangles. Fig. 5. Equilateral perforated Blocks. _ The fifth design, fig. 6, is applicable to blocks of any size and, instead of grooves, has circular holes in the blocks. The angles of the stones are seen in this figure as well as in the other figures projecting into the wood. Fig. 6. Circular perforated Blocks. The sixth design, fig. 7, is intended for the same use as that in fig. 5. The holes in this design are circular, and so disposed that five holes are contained in every block, which is constructed of the hexagonal form. Hexagonal perforated Blocks. The blocks^ can be placed on thin boards, laid close to assist in keeping the under soil from coming up through the joints between the blocks; to aid in distributing the load passing over the blocks more equally; and to pro- mote the under-drainage of the paving.

Revolving dioptric apparatus of the first order (same as that at Skerryvore). This apparatus consists of two parts. The principal part is a right octagonal hollow prism, composed of eight large lenses, which throw out a powerful beam of light whenever the axis of a single lens comes in the line between the observers and the foctxs. This occurs once in a minute, as the frame which bears the lenses revolves, in eight minutes, on the rollers placed beneath. The subsidiary part consists of eight pyramidal lenses, inclined at an angle of 50° to the horizon, and forming together a hollow truncated cone, which rests above the flame like a cap. Above these smaller lenses (which can only be seen by looking from below) are placed eight plane mirrors, whose surfaces being inclined to the horizon at 50° in the direction opposite to that of the pyramidal lenses, finally cause all the light made parallel by the refraction of these lenses, to leave the mirror in a North Gallery, and with Classes 5 & 6. horizontal direction. The object of this part is to turn to useful account, by prolonging the duration of the flash, that part of the light which would otherwise escape into the atmosphere above the main lenses. This is effected by giving to the upper lenses a slight horizontal divergence from the vertical plane of the principal lenses. Below, are five tiers of totally reflecting prisms, which intercept the light that passes below the great lenses, and by means of two reflections and an intermediate reflection project fchem in the shape of a flat ring to the horizon. Fixed dioptric appai-atus of the first order (same as that at Isle of May, with various improvements). The principal part consists of a cylindric belt of glass, which surrounds the flame in the centre, and by its action re- fracts the light in a vertical direction upwards and down ward so as to be parallel with the focal plane of the system. In this way it throws out a flat ring of light equally intense in every direction. To near observers, this action presents a narrow vei-tical band of light depending for its breadth on the extent of the horizontal angle embraced by the eye. This arrangement, therefore, fulfils all the conditions of a fixed light, and surpasses in effect any arrangement of parabolic i^eflectors. In order to save the light which would be lost by passing above and below the cylindric belt, curved mirrors, with their common focus in the lamp, were formerly used; but on the suggestion of the present engineer, the adaptation of catadiojitric zones to this part of the apparatus was, after much labour, successfully carried out. These zones are triangular, and act by total reflection; the inner face 7rfracti)irj, the second totally trjiecting, and the third, or outer face, a second time refracting, so as to cause the light to emerge horizontally. The apparatus has received many smaller changes by the introduction of a new mode of grouping the various parts of the framework, by which the passage of the light is less obscured in every azimuth. During the last four years, these improvements have been introduced into the lighthouses in Scotland. [The dioptric system of lights was invented by M. Fresnel a.d. 1819.—S. C] Model of the Bell Rock Lighthouse, lighted in 1811. This lighthouse was executed according to the design, and under the superintendence, of the late Robert Stevenson, Esq., F.R.S.E., Engineer to the Commissioners of the Northern Lighthouses. The model shows the progress of the work ; the temporary barrack-house of timber; the railways, stone lighters, and cranes used in its con- struction; and on the pane at one end of the case, the courses of masonry, with their dovetails and joggles. Cost 61,331/. 9.S. Id. The bird on the top of the model was carried against the lantern in a gale, broke a pane of glass, injured one of the reflectors, and fell dead on the floor of the lightroom. Model of the Skerryvore Lighthouse, on the same scale as No. 3. The light was exhibited in 1844. The light- house was executed according to the design and under the superintendence of Mr. Alan Stevenson, LL.B, F.R.S.E., the present engineer. Cost 86,977/. Model of balance crane, designed by the late Mr. Robert Stevenson, and used by him in the erection of the Bell Rock Lighthouse, for raising and setting the stones at any distance from the centre of the tower, in which the stone and the counterpoise balance each other by being continually kept at an equal distance from the shaft of the crane. Model of the apparatus of an intermittent light. De- signed by the late Mr. Robert Stevenson, and introduced by him at the lights of Tarbertness, Barrahead, and Mull of Galloway, on the coast of Scotland. This apparatus eclipses the light suddenly for half a minute of time, and as suddenly reveals it to view, when it continues in sight for two and a half minutes, and is again suddenly eclipsed; thus producing its whole efiect in three minutes of time. The su.ddenness of its eclipse and reappearance, and the inequality of the peinods of light and darkness, form a marked contrast to the gradual waxing and waning which precede the brightest phase and dark periods of a revolv- ing light, all the phenomena of which recur at equal intervals of time. Model of a lighthouse lantern, on the diagonal arrange- ment. _ Designed by Mr. Alan Stevenson, for the purpose of avoiding the unequal distribution of the light to which the old lanterns were liable from the interception of rays in certain azimuths by means of the vertical astragals. Great rigidity and strength are also insm-ed by this arrangement, and the triangular form of the panes renders them less liable to be broken by the force of impinging bodies. Mechanical lamp of four wicks, in which the oil is kept continually overflowing by the means of pumps, which raise it from the cistern below; the rapid carbonization of the wicks which would be caused by the gi^eat heat is thus avoided. The flames of the lamp reach their best effect in three hours after lighting, i. e., after the whole of the oil in the cistern, by passing and repassing over the wicks repeatedly, has reached its maximum temperature. After this the lamp often burns 14 hours without sensible diminution of the light, and then rapidly falls. The light varies from 16 to 20 times that of the Argand flame of an inch in diameter; and the quantity of oil consumed by it is greater nearly in the same proportion. Holophotal arrangement of lighthouse apparatus, pre- pared by Mr. Thomas Stevenson, C.E., in which the whole sphere of light is brought under instrumental action thus:—The posterior hemisphere of light is reflected by the hemispherical mirror (and in some cases by reflecting hemispheres of glass), and passes with the usual loss by reflection again through the flame, where it is parallelized, partly by refraction at the lens, and partly by the parabolic mirror which is truncated in the parameter. The anterior hemisphere of light is also parallelized partly by the action of the lens, and partly by the parabolic mirror. In this manner there is no loss of the posterior portion as in the lens, nor of the anterior portion as in the mirror. 100 Stevenson, Thomas, F.R.S.E,, 84 George Street, Edinburgh—Inventor. Revolving light, with axial rotation, by which one-half the number of reflectors, and one-half the quantity of oil, are designed to be saved. Intended for illuminating any arc of not more than 180 degrees. The intervals of time of illumination are equal "within the whole of the illuminated arc, instead of unequal as in the reciprocating light. The reflectors are also of a new form, consisting of par-abolic strips of difierent focal distances. Ordinai'y parabolic reflector, rendered holophotal (where the entire light is parallelized) by a portion of a catadi- optric annular lens. The back part of the parabolic conoid is cut off, and a portion of a spherical mirror substi- tuted, so as to send the rays again through the flame. All the light intercepted by the annular lens is lost in the ordinary reflector. Holophotal catadioptric annular lens apparatus (un- finished). This is a combination of a hemispherical mirror and a lens with totally-reflecting zones; the peculiarity of this arrangement is, that the catadioptric zones, instead of transmitting the light in parallel horizontal plates, as in Fresnel's apparatus, produce, as it were, an extension of the lenticiilar or quaquaversal action of the central lens, by assembling the light around its axis in the form of concentric hollow cylinders. (The above mstruments belong to the Board of Northern Lights.) [The early method of illuminating lighthouses was by coal or wood fires contained in " chauflers." The Isle of Man light was of this kind until 1816. The first decided improvement was made by Argand, in 1784, who invented a lamp with a circular wick, the flame being supplied by an external and internal current of air. To make these lamps more effective for lighthouse illumination, and to prevent the rays of light escaping on all sides, a reflector was afterwards added: this threw the light forward in North Gallery, and with Classes 5 «& 6. parallel rays towards such points of the horizon as would be useful to the mariner. Good reflectors increase the luminous effect of a lamp about 400 times: this is the " catoptric" system of lighting. When reflectors are used there is a certain quantity of light lost, and the " dioptric" or refracting system, invented by the late M. Augustin Fresnel, is designed to obviate this defect to some extent: the catadioptric" system is a still further improvement, and acts both by refraction and reflection. Lights of the first order have an interior radius or focal distance of 36-22 inches, and are lighted by a lamp of four concentric wicks, consuming 570 gallons of oil per annum.—S.

Model of the wrought-iron bar-chain suspension bridge at Kieff, now erecting across the river Dnieper, by com- mand of H. 1. M. the Emperor of Russia. Its length is about half an English mile, and breadth 52^ English feet. The area of the roadway is 140,000 superficial feet. (Central Avenue.) The bridge of which this is a model is the largest work of the kind hitherto undertaken; the chains on the right, or Kieff side of the Dnieper, are moored in an isolated abutment, built in the river, at a sufficient distance from the shore to allow vessels to pass. This is effected by a drawbridge, 52i feet broad, spanning an opening of 50 feet. The supports are hollow beams of wrought iron, about 130 feet long ; the drawbridge revolves in one leaf, and centres like a railway turn-table; the counter- poise required is very small. The whole weight of the di'awbridge is about 150 tons. The four principal suspension spans are each of 440 English feet. Each chain extends over the five river piers and through the two abutments, and is more than half an English mile long. The platforms are suspended from the chains by wrought-iron rods of 2 inches diameter. The roadway is made peculiarly stiff, to resist the various strains to which it is liable. The total quantity of iron employed in constructing the bridge, including the machinery used, is 3,500 English tons (3^ millions of French kilogrammes, 78,000 German centners). The whole was manufactured in England; the chains by Fox and Henderson, Birmingham. Sixteen vessels were employed in transporting the iron from Liverpool to the port of Odessa, whence it was con- veyed on bullock-carts to Kieff, a distance of 400 English miles. The channel of the river Dnieper at the bridge is about 35 feet deep in summer, but the spring floods increase the depth to 50, and sometimes to 55 feet. Eight coffer-dams were required for getting in the foundations, and 10 steam-engines were employed on the works, two being of 50-horse power each. The foundations are on piling and concrete; the piers and abutments are brick, faced with granite. About 1,000 tons (English) of granite ashlar are inserted in each abut- ment as an extra mass, for the mooring plates of the chains to bear upon. The granite was brought across a country destitute of hard roads, from a distance of nearly 100 English miles. The hydraulic cement employed is prepared artificially, according to the system pointed out by the celebrated French engineer, Vicat. Cost of the bridge about 400,000^. sterling. Time of building will have been about five years; but from the climate and other circumstances not more than 100 working days in each year could be calculated on for the principal and more difficult parts of the work. The whole of the piers and abutments will be brought to the level of the roadway in the course of the present summer (1851); two of the river piers will also be carried to their full height ; and the bridge will be completely finished in the autumn of 1852. Every part of the model is in exact proportion to the original bridge. The scale is 1 inch to 8 feet. The two views in chromolithography, which illustrate this bridge, are from drawings executed on the spot. [Suspension bridges of iron were introduced about the year 1741, at which date one of 70 feet span was thrown over the river Tees. Scamozzi, ''Del IdeaArchi," published 1615, conveys some notion of these structures, but Ber- nouilli first explained their true principles. The Union bridge over th*3 Tweed, 449 feet span, constructed by Capt. Sir S. Brown, in 1820, was the first large bar chain bridge erected in Britain. The Newhaven and Brighton suspension piers were also erected by the same engineer. The great bridge by Telford across the Menai Straits is 570 feet span; it was commenced in May, 1819, and com- pleted in December, 1825. The Hammersmith bridge, 422 feet span, by Tierney Clark, was completed in 1824. The Montrose bridge, by Rendel, 412 feet span, was erected in 1829; and the Hungerford bridge over the Thames, 676J feet span, by Brunei, was built in 1844. The wire-rope bridge of Freiburg is 820 feet span. The roadways of suspension bridges must not merely be hung from the chains, but be rendered stiff to resist the undu- latory motion caused by the wind.

It was commenced August 10, 1847, and was finished March 5, 1850, and on the 18th of the same month was opened for traffic. The total expense of erec- tion was 601,860/., of which the iron work cost 443,160/., and the masonry 158,700/.

Model of suspension aqueduct over the river Caldei*, at Stanley, near Wakefield. (Designed by George Leather and John W. Leather, civil engineers, Leeds, and exe- cuted under their direction.) This aqueduct is repre- sented in the following engraving. The canal which is carried over the river Calder by means of this aqueduct is navigable for sea-going vessels of 7 feet draught of water, and 120 tons burthen. [7.] [Official Illustrated Catalogue.] North Gallery, and with Classes 5 & 6. Leather's Suspension Aqueduct over the Calder. This model and unique mode of construction was adopted in order to preserve the whole width of the waterway of the river free and uninterrupted by piers, which was important. The tank or trough is 9 feet deep, and 24 feet wide within, and it contains between the points where it rests upon the abutments, 940 tons of water, more than is contained in the whole 19 arches of the celebrated Pont- y-Cysyllte aqueduct in Wales. There is a towing-path on each side, which projects partly over the water within, and partly on the outer side of the trough. By the introduction of a colonnade and entablature (of the Grecian Doric order) terminated by an octastyle portico and pediment on the abutment at each end, the heavy and unsightly appearance which so large a surface of tank would have presented, is got rid of, and a light and elegant character is given to the struc- ture. The suspending-rods pass through the columns to the ends of the transverse bearers; and the steps upon which the columns appear to rest serve to conceal the transverse bearers, as well as further to maintain the architectural effect.

[The first cast-iron aqueduct was erected by Telford, a.d. 1793, to carry the Shrewsbury canal over the river Tern. In 1794-5 he designed the celebrated cast-iron aqueduct to convey the Ellesmere and Chester canal, at an elevation of 127 feet, over the river Dee at Pont-y-Cysyllte: since that time many have been erected. The advantages of cast-iron aqueducts over those of stone, which are of con- siderable antiquity, are their security from leakage, and their economy in point of cost.—S. C] 2.

Patent asphalte roofing felt, particularly applicable for warm climates. It is a non-conductor. It is portable, being packed in rolls, and not liable to damage in carriage. It effects a saving of half the timber usually required. It can be easily applied by any unpractised person. From its lightness, weighing only about 42 lbs. to the square of 100 feet, the cost of carriage is small. The felt can be laid on from gable to gable, or across the roof from eaves to eaves. It is essential that it should be stretched tight and smooth—overlapping full one inch at the joinings, and closely nailed through the overlap, with twopenny fine clout nails (heated in a shovel, and thrown when hot, into grease, to prevent rust), about 1^ inches apart, but copper nails are preferable. The whole roof must have a good coating of coal tar and lime (about two gallons of the former to six pounds of the latter), well boiled together, kept constantly stirring while boiling, and put on hot with a common tar mop, and while it is soft some coarse sharp sand may be sifted over it. The coating must be renewed every fourth or fifth year, or more or less frequently, according to the climate.

A condenser for gas, so constructed that by opening one joint, the whole of the condensing surface is rendered visible, and is within reach, for the purposes of cleansing: the condensed liquor is discharged at five different pipes, so that five different qualities are produced by the same operation. 139 Vaughan, William, Maidstone—Inventor. Machine to facilitate the construction of marble, stone, slate, or other chimney-pieces by economising labour, and insuring accuracy in the work. The present mode of adjusting the several pieces of a chimney-piece jamb, is, by the use of wooden gauges, prepared to the various dimensions required, and by squaring up the sides (inside-slip and outground) from the face of the jamb, then temporarily fixing them with square blocks against each outside, till the whole is secured with plaster of Paris and pieces of stone fixed inside the jamb. For every jamb the same operation has to be performed. In this machine provision is made for construct- ing jambs, varying from 6 inches to 145- inches in width, by moveable standards fitted accurately in the grooves of the brass plates which are fixed flush with the face of the slate. These standards render the use of a square unnecessary. The graduated plates supersede the necessity of a rule, and the triangular brass gauge not only dispenses with the use of all other gauges, but ensures great accuracy. The transverse and longitudinal stops being fixed to the required heights above the top of the front of the jamb, and the ends of the side pieces being placed against them, exact provision is made for the depth of the cap- ping and frieze to be afterwards fixed thereon. For the construction of the jamb to the opposite hand, it is only necessary that the longitudinal stop should be placed as much below the centre line on the graduated plate as it now is above. The other part of the machine remaining unaltered, both jambs will necessarily have the same form and dimensions. When several chimney-pieces of the same dimensions are required (a common circumstance), the whole num- ber of jambs may be put together without moving any other part of the machine than the longitudinal stop once; thus ensuring, not only the same form in them all, but effecting an important saving of time. The box gauge, which may be applied to any width of chimney jamb fitted within the standards, presses the inside-slip and outground against the standards, thus preventing any derangement of the several pieces, whilst they are being fixed together with pieces of stone and plaster of Paris. 140 Farrkll, Isaac, 210 Gi^eat Brunswick Street, Dublin —Manufacturer, Model of a registered circular window. 141 Harper, Thomas, 15 Upper Seymour Street West— Inventor.

By affording facility for the rapid and entire discharge of its contents, this invention proposes to prevent the accumulation of filth and sediment in house cisterns; and, by conducting the waste and discharge pipes into the house drain, both to preclude local dampness arising from overflow, and effec- tually to cleanse the latter by constant flushing. Though the cylindrical form of cistern with a conical base is, in all cases, preferable, the princijDle of this in- vention is equally applicable to any other form which may be topically convenient, and to any material used in the constraction of cisterns. 146 Quincey, Harcourt, 82 Hatton Garden— Inventor and Patentee.

Universal fire-escape. The novelty of the plan is stated to be that of passing persons from the window of the house on fire to the near window of the neighbour's house adjoining, in a direct hori- zontal line, right or left, in lieu of lowering them down as in the ordinary way. This is accomplished by having bracket-hooks of a peculiar construction, projecting about 12 inches from the face of the brickwork, per- manently fixed to the front of the house at the upper- most floor, by passing the end or stem of the hook through the brickwork, and screwing it up tight by plates and North Gallery, and with Classes 5 & 6. nuts inside. By the assistance of the neighbour at the adjoining window, a rope is attached to the hooks ; a basket or cradle (which traverses vipon a friction-roller) is then hung upon the rope, which, by the person therein placed, or by a person at the adjoining window, with the assistance of a hook stick provided for the purpose, may be moved forwards or backwards as the case demands. 150 Ibish Engineering Company, London Office, 11 John Street, AdelpM—Producer. Finch and Willey's patent safety railway wheel. The peculiarity of this wheel consists in the rim of the skele- ton or inner wheel being firmly imbedded in a dovetailed recess in the tire, throughout its whole circumference, rendering all other fastening, as bolts, &c., unnecessary, and preventing the possibility of accident from the break- age or throwing off of the tire. The tii'e can also be worn much thinner than ordinary. 151 Allen, T., Clifton, near Bristol—Inventor and Manufacturer.

Letourneau, 37 AUee des Veuves, Paris— Inventors and Manufacturers. Improved patent revolving catadioptric apparatus of short eclipses, for a lighthouse of the first class. Repre- sented in fig. 1. Fig. 1. That Wilkins and Letourneau's Catadioptric Apparatus, appearance of light, called short eclipses, has hitherto been obtained by the following arrangements North Gallery, and with Classes 5 & 6. An apparatus for a fixed light being provided, composed of a central cylinder and two zones of catadioptric rings, forming a cupola and lower part, a certain number of lenses are arranged at equal distances from each other, placed upon an exterior moveable frame, making its revo- lution around the apparatus in a given period. These lenses, composed of vertical prisms, are of the same alti- tude as the cylinder, and the radius of their curves is in opposite directions to those of the cylinder, in such a manner that at their passing they converge into a parallel pencil of light; all the divergent rays, emitted horizontally from the cylinder, producing a brilliant effect, like that obtained by the use of annular lenses at the revolving lighthouses. The first improvement exhibited has a special reference to the light, and produces a considerable increase in its power, whilst the simplicity of the optical arrangements is also regarded. It consists, firstly, in completely dis- pensing with the moveable central cylindrical lenses. Secondly, it replaces these by a single revolving cylinder, composed of four annular lenses, and four lenses of a fixed light introduced between them ; but the number of each varying according to the succession of flashes to be pro- duced in the period of revolution. The second improvement, of which already some ap- plications that have been made serve to show the im- portance, consists in a new method of arranging the revolving part, experience having shown that the arrange- ments at present in use are very faulty, A short time is sufficient for the action of the friction rollers, revolving on two parallel planes, to produce, by a succession of cuttings, a sufficiently deep groove to destroy the regu- larity of the rotatory movement. To obviate this great inconvenience, the friction rollers are so placed and fitted on an iron axis, with reguLiting screws and tra- versing between two bevilled surfaces, that when an in- dentation is made in one place, they can be adjusted to another part of the plates which is not so worn. The third improvement produces the resvilt of an in- crease of the power of the flashes in revolving lighthouse apparatus, to double what has been obtained hitherto. By means of lenses of vertical prisms, placed in the pro- longations of the central annular lenses, the divergent rays emerging from the catadioptric zone are brought into a straight line, and a coincidence of the three flashes is^ obtained. The whole of the prisms, lenses, and zones are mounted with strength and simplicity, accurately ground and polished to the correct curves, according to their re- spective positions, so as to properly develop this beautiful system of ^^Fresnel." The glass of which they are composed is of the clearest crystal colour, and free from that green hue which so materially reduces the power of the light, and is considered objectionable for apparatus of this kind. The lamp, by which the apparatus is to be lighted, consists of a concentric burner with four circular wicks, attached to a lamp of simple construction, the oil being forced up to the burner by atmospheric pressure only, so that there are no delicate pumps or machinery to become deranged. Improved lantern and revolving apparatus for a light- vessel, represented in fig. 2, The principal improvement consists, in constructing the machinery to work beneath the deck, instead of in the lantern as formerly. A ver- tical rod, working in metal bearings, is attached to the mast, with a large gun-metal pinion fixed to the top of the rod, at the height to which it is necessary to hoist the lantern, wherein a train of cog-wheels are placed to con- nect with the pinion, and communicate the motion ob- tained therefrom to the traversing apparatus that supports the lamps and reflectors. The advantages of this arrange- ment are, that the lanterns can be made much lighter, the rolling of the vessel caused by so great a weight at the mast-head is greatly diminished, and the machinery being more under control and better protected, works with greater regularity and precision. An idea of the utility of these improvements may be gained by reflecting that the situations in which the light-vessels are placed, are at all times difficult of access. and in stormy weather, when accidents are most likely to occur, quite unapproachable; so that it will be obvious any alteration which reduces the liability to derangement is greatly to be appreciated. Fig. 2. Wilkins and Letourneau's Lantern. There is also an advantage derived from the novel construction of the lamps and gimbal work which, by a movement, exactly coinciding with the motion of the vessel, causes a perfect level to be always maintained, and ensures the proper flow of oil to the burners, how- ever irregular that motion may be. This improvement is not of so recent an introduction as the former, but when it was first invented by one of the exhibitors it pro- North Gallery, and with Classes 5 & 6. duced a complete revolution in the apparatus for floating lights, and enabled the beautiful Argand lamps, with parabolic reflectors, to be used instead of the old lamps with smoky flat wicks, (ifam Avenue.) 158 Cochrane, A., 17 Bnjanstone Street, Bryanstone Square—Inventor.

Model of the railway-bridge, crossing Westminster bridge road. (South Western Railway.) 178 MooRSOM, W. S., Captain, 17| Great George Street, Westminster—Designer and Superintendent. Prize design for the great bridge over the Ehine, pro- posed by Prussian Government to be erected at Cologne. The Piers are to be of stone, and the arches of wrought iron. Length of the bridge and approaches . . . 2,015 feet. Span of each of the large arches .... 600 Span of the lifting-arch 100 ,, Height from foundation to top of towers . 147 ,, Height from water to underside of arches . 44 „ Height from water to underside of lifting- arch when raised 97 Width of the bridge (inside the parapets) . 60 ,, Strength of each arch to bear, if distributed over it 5,700 tons. Cost, if erected by contract at Prussian prices, as arranged with a Prussian manu- facturer £236,000 (If erected at English prices, about one-fifth less). The principle of this bridge is that of the trellis or lattice beam combined with the arch. The arrangement of the cross bracing is novel and peculiar, and affords separate spaces for the great high- way, the railway, and the footway. The lifting-arch is to be worked by water power; the water being contained in tanks on the tops of the towers, and being elevated to those positions by tide-wheels of peculiar construction, placed below the possibility of contact with ice, and worked by the river current. The arches are believed to be the largest in the world, proposed of rigid construction (not suspension), and cal- culated for the passage of locomotive engines at speed, and of artillery at the gallop. Railway viaduct over the river Nore, near Kilkenny, Ireland. The arch is constructed of timber, and the piers of stone. Length of the bridge and approaches . . . 428 feet. Span of arch , 200 Height above foundations . 85 ,, Width at the level of the rails 26 Strength of the arch, to bear, if distributed over it 600 tons. Cost, complete £8,100 This is believed to be the largest work of the kind in the United Kingdom. 180 Rose, John Thomas, Regent Street, Leith—Designer. Design for a timber viaduct of great span, suitable for railway or other purposes. Its object is to unite great strength with simplicity; the beams forming it, are inter- woven like basket-work, and the greater the stress thrown upon it, the more rigid it becomes. The same principle may be adapted to large roofs without the use of cross- ties, since the outward thrust upon the walls would be but small. Supplementary model illustrating the principle. 181 MacLachlan, John, Douglas, Isle of Man— Inventor.

Private fire-escape, the machinery so constructed as to be fixed to any part of the house, and worked from the street as well as in the room. 191 Beeston, J., Swaile's Cottages, Hammersmith— Inventor. Wind-guard for chimney tops. 192 Adcock, Thomas, jun., Penkridge, Staffordshii^e— Inventor. Simultaneous gates for railway crossings. Exhibited for safety, economy, and despatch. They are intended to supersede the present wood gates, as the ironwork to the heels will show; for new iron gates, the heels would be in one length, everything being in accordance. The posts are intended to be of cast iron, the supports fixed North Gallery, and with Classes 5 & 6. upon blocks of stone 4 feet square, by 12 or 15 inches thick, and set upon a bed of brickwork, as shown. The small iron doors over the same, are intended to be opened occasionally for the purpose of filling the reservoir with oil, and for adjusting the rods by means of the nuts and screws, and also for taking out the wheel if necessary: all this is done in a very short time. The rods are all pulling rods, and the rollers under, revolve; the gate with the bolt attached is the leading one, being nearest the station- house. The bolt on this gate is so contrived that it will secure or liberate all the four large gates at once; to open them, the bolt is raised out of the groove of a spindle, to which is attached a wire, running across the road close under the rails, in a groove an inch wide, to the lever on the opposite side, which immediately drops just below the surface of the road, so that there is no stumbling-block. On closing the gates, the bolt slides into the groove of the spindle, and by turning it to its proper position, it raises the bolt on the opposite side, and the self-acting catch secures all the four large gates. This saves time and trouble in crossing the line to unbolt them, and they are more secure. The wheels, &c., are merely cased with rough boarding; or brick on edge may be used. The oak cases to rods are represented as being fixed upon brickwork ; the wire may be pro- tected by an iron plate laid over it. The machinery for skew gates would be the same, with the exception of two of the wheels, which would be smaller. 193 Stuckey, W., Mitre Chamber's, Fenchurch Street —Inventor. Four-wheeled carriage crane, for transporting and raising merchandize to a given height; also forming a portable scaffold for decorating the interior and exterior of large buildings; it will also serve for a fire-escape. 194 Taylor, Henry, 6 John Street West, Bamshury Road, Islington—Inventor.

A main-pipe, supplied with water on the high-pressure system, is carried up one corner of the building, commu- nicating with smaller pipes running between the joists of every floor, the small hose and pipe attached to the main being always ready for use, in case of fire occurring in any part of the building. [The mains which supply a town with water should be kept constantly full, and under such pressure that, upon opening a cock in the street, the water may be conducted by means of hose over the highest houses, and applied to any fire that may occur. Pipes or hose permanently fixed through a building, from which water may be taken at any time, would probably be advantageous.] Machine for saving life and property from shipwreck on the coast. The model is on the scale of half an inch to the foot; it represents a platform resting on piles driven into the ground, with the machine and its accompaniments, covered with a tent, which may be closed or open when necessary. The machine is a double lift; the upper drvim works a cable to tug any disabled vessel to shore; the lower drum works a constant communication with the wreck. The means of first communication is by firing a shot from the gun, attached to a line, the line being secured to the blocks which are worked by the cables of the machine; the gallery and flag-stafi" are for observation and signals. The table on which the machine is built may be turned to any point of the compass. [The first apparatus for saving lives from shipwreck was invented by Captain Manby. A wooden plug, instead of an iron shot, fired from the gun has been found of advantage, as in the case of the schooner "^Nanteos," ofi" Carmarthen, 23rd February, 1851, &c. By means of this simple apparatus the safety of the ship was secured together with that of her crew.—S. C] Floatable life-preserving cape cloak; blue cloth cloak, braided with the emblematical design of the rose, thistle, and shamrock, and lined with quilted satin; the inner lining is composed of pieces of cork, so arranged that when in the water it forms a floating body of great buoy- ancy by which the wearer is preserved on the surface. 198 Boulanger, Charles Thomas, Alice Street, Bermondsey New Road—Inventor. A fumigator, with refrigerator or cooler, applicable to the destruction of insects in tender plants, in animals, and in houses ; also to bleaching substances requiring the vapours of sulphur, and to administering vapour or aro- matic baths at a small cost. The fumes of tobacco, used in fumigating, are cooled by being passed through the cooler, so that they do not injure the tender plants.

Models of patent breakwater; life and anchor boats. - 216 Stafford, Daniel, 3 Shane Terrace, Sloane Street, Chelsea. Interceptor cowl : an apparatus attached to the cowl of a chimney. The interceptor is made air-tight at each angle and at the bottom, so as to prevent the cold air, received at the apertures, from entering immediately into the flue or chimney, and from taking a downward or cross direction, instead of being reflected upwards, as is the case from the application and construction of the interceptor. A second interceptor is placed at a short distance above the one already described, giving the air a more powerful and direct upward current, and at the same time forming an efficient resistance and protection against all descend- ing gusts of wind. The external form or shape of the cowl may be varied to suit the architectural uniformity of any building. 217 Teagle, R. & W., Chelsea—Inventors. Patent chimney-sweeping apparatus.

Iron cables invented and introduced into the Royal Navy by Captain Sir Samuel Brown, R.N., K.H., in 1810. Nos. 1 and 2. Patterns of the twisted and plain parallel- sided chains, the iron \\ inch diameter without stay-pins, which was proposed by the exhibitor to the Admiralty as a substitute for hempen cables in 1810. The twisted chain was preferred by the Board for this purpose, by reason of its resemblance to the strands of a rope, and on that account supposed to be more easily managed as a working cable. No. 3 is a single link of the same dimensions, with a short scarf ready for welding in the end: this, which was practised in all the Royal Dockyards, and by all the chain- makers in the country, was radically bad, because the weld is inevitably the weakest part; was subjected to a transverse strain at the point of resistance, where a small defect was more detrimental than any other part; the inventor therefore adopted the plan of forming the weld in the direction of its length in the side, where the strain is equally divided. No. 4 is a single link showing the long scarf in the side ready for welding, as above mentioned. Origin of the Stay-pins.—When the chain-cables were first brought into use (which was in the Navy) there was no means of testing their strength, and two ships, the ''Pique," 38-gun frigate, and the ''Pylades," sloop-of-war, having both parted their cables in a heavy gale and sea, it was found that the links, in the technical phrase, had drawn in the strain. The inventor of the iron cables thereupon devised a powerful compound lever-machine for testing all cables to a given strain. The first cable to be tested was a twisted cable, welded in the side with long double scarp, but without stay-pins, 2i inches dia- meter, against a piece of new 24-incli cable, which was the largest size made; the cable and the chain were shackled together, so that the strain was reciprocal. The trial took place at the manufactory in Shadwell, in July, 1810, in the presence of Lord Melville, First Lord of the Admiralty; Sir J. B. Thompson, Comptroller of the Navy Board; the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Vansittart; the Surveyor and Commissioners of the Navy, and several Naval Captains. In the course of the trial, as the hempen cable continued to stretch, and the chain to collapse, the machine was at that time stopped; and then three wrouglit-iron pins similar to those shown in No. 5 were inserted in the middle of the links: the process re- commenced, and the pins were in a short time set fast. Four hours had been occupied in this interesting experi- ment, when the hempen cable began to give way, and was ultimately broken in the direction of its length with a force of 84 tons; no fracture had taken place in the iron cable, and the links which had been distended with the pins preserved their shape; but all the others had col- lapsed and become perfectly rigid, and, of course, totally useless. The improvements thus introduced in the con- struction of the iron cables, and the system of testing, were of infinitely more importance than the original in- vention, and which were all carried into eflect in 1810, two years before any other chain-cable manufactory was in existence. No. 5. Pattern of the parallel-sided chain, proposed by the inventor to supersede the twisted cables in 1812. The first cable was supplied to His Majesty's frigate "Crescent" in that year, which, being favourably re- ported on, he received directions from the Admiralty to prepare a schedule, in conjunction with Mr. Goodrich, mechanical engineer at the Royal Dockyard, Portsmouth, of the form and dimensions of chain-cables, which, with very little modification, is at present the standard for all classes. The chain cables, which are of oval shape, are susceptible of still further improvements, for it has been observed, in the course of an extensive practice, that, in testing chains to prove the quality of the iron, links gradually collapse, and that the rupture does not take place till the sides are drawn nearly into contact; it therefore occurred to the inventor that the inverted oval link. No. 7, as approximating in some degree to this ultimate form of resistance, was stronger, inasmuch as the present distended oval link is a departure from it; and there can be no doubt that, as the convex links fit more uniformly to the cylindrical bells or windlass, they would work smooth, and with less jolting in veering. [It was this invention of Capt. Brown which first ren- dered the knowledge of the strength of malleable iron indispensable. Chain cables with the simple oval link resist a strain of 21-^ tons per square inch, the mean strength of wrought-iron being 25 tons per square inch. When stays between the sides of the links are introduced, the strength is very nearly equal to that of the iron in the simple bar form, so that a stay may be said to in- crease the strength by about l-6th part. The links of Mr. Price's chains are made with parallel sides, so that the fibres of the iron are kept in the direction of the strain ; their strength is therefore greater than that of the simple oval links, which have a tendency to alter in form, or elongate.—S. C] Picture, in oil, of the Union Suspension Bridge, erected over the Tweed in 1820, connecting England and Scotland, NoKTH Gallery, and with Classes 5 & 6. being the first iron bar bridge constructed for carriages, and all the ordinary purj^oses of the country. Dimen- sions, 420 feet span between the points of suspension, supported by 12 lines of cylindrical wrought iron bars, containing 24 square inches. Models. Fig. 1. Model of an inclined plane, or patent marine slip and cradle-carriage, similar to the " Queen Charlotte Slip," at the Royal Dockyard, Deptford (which may be constructed on the shore of any other river or harbour), on which Her Majesty's frigate ''Solebay" was drawn by a single capstan in three-quarters of an hour, and which would have been accomplished with a 20-horse power steam-engine in ten minutes. The cradle-carriage is mounted on the periphery of iron rollers, which circulate over the carriage by an endless chain under the ship's bottom when in motion; and in some situations the cradle-carriage is moved on a continuous line of rollers laid down on the ways. In either case, there is a total absence of friction ; and, as a mechanical power, the superiority of the rollers over the multiplicity of small wheels employed for the same purpose exceeds, in some cases, 50 to 1; that is to say, it requires 50 times less force to move a line-of-battle ship laterally on the ways in the Arsenal on a line of connected rollers, than upon truck wheels of the same diameter, and a proportionate diminution of force would take place in drawing ships in the inclined planes. An important feature in the pro- posed system is, that whatever may be the extent or situation of the arsenal, that only one slip or one cradle carriage, and one sliding-off carriage are required for the whole establishment; that ships intended to be laid up in ordinary, may be disposed of at the more remote part of the yard; that ships could be more expeditiously and economically repaired; that any ships may be selected from the line, and transported fully rigged and equipped, without disturbing any other ship, and launched to be completed afloat for sea. Fig. 2 is a line-of-battle ship, supposed to be laid up in ordinary, shored up, and the keel resting on the same rollers on which she was drawn up. Fig. 3 is another line-of-battle ship similarly supported, with her lower mast in, supposed to be under repair, or in the course of fitting for sea. Fig. 4. Masting shears, to which any ship may be moved, masted, unmasted, and returned to her position. The acquisition of this new motive power, which reduces the propulsive force or traction, by 50 to 1 over fixed axles, renders it perfectly practicable to construct railways [ except where tunnels are unavoidable) for the conveyance of ships, adapted for all the ordinary purposes of trade and manufacture traffic, with a velocity of 10 to 15 miles an hour, as shown in fig. 5. Fig 6. Model of a basin or floating dock, containing an invariable depth of water for the largest ships of war, which may be constructed either by excavation or im- permeable embankments. Fig. 7. Shows the inclined plane laid down at low water, extending to and carried over the boundary wall, and ascending with the same gradient into the basin to float the ship off, and no locks or dock gates are required; the evaporation or leakage may be supplied by a sluice at high water, or from any other source inland. The same system, as shown in fig. 8, of raising ships, barges, or other vessels from one level to another, so as to render locks altogether unnecessary, may be applied to all the canals and inland navigation in the country, and our colonies abroad. Fig. 8. Model of the royal chain pier, Brighton, con- structed on a scale of 1^-inch to a foot, a perfect repre- sentation in detail of the whole structure. The inner chains supporting the platforms are secured to iron re- taining plates in the cliff; the outer chains are supported by diagonal shores in the centre of the outer pier-head; the lower extremities are backed on each side by two 74-gun ship anchors, driven to a considerable depth into the chalk rock. It was begun in November, 1822, and finished in November, 1823. [The Brighton chain-pier, opened in November 1823, was designed by Capt. Sir Samuel Brown, R.N,, who first suggested that the chains should be made of long flat bars with holes drilled in their ends, by Avhich they might be connected together by short links and pins. He patented this invention in 1817.—S. C] Fig. 9. Model of the mariners' compass, exhibiting the points on a vertical belt or zone, where they may be seen in all directions, at any desired altitude above the deck. Fig. 10. Model of a brass columnal bearing and distance revolving light-house, designed for the great Hanois rock, on the south-west coast of the Island of Guernsey. The centre of the light would be 130 feet above high- water mark, spring-tides, and distinctly visible in clear weather, at the distance of 12 miles; the second altitude would be seen at the distance of 10 miles; and the third altitude 8 miles. The metal dome, 10 feet in diameter, would be tempered into a bell the largest and most sonorous in the world, and would be struck at intervals, during fogs or thick weather, to warn against danger. There would be ample accommodation for the light- keeper; and also, provisions and stores for four months, or longer, if necessary. The total expense of erecting and completing the brass column ready for the reception of the light of the first order would be 10,000/.; time of execution not exceeding six months; and its stability would be guaranteed for seven years. [Sea water has an injurious action upon cast-iron; brass, however, effectually resists its effects, hence its value for the tower of a lighthouse erected in the sea. Double lights are used as distinguishing them from neighbouring lights. Lights are obscured by fog, and therefore a con- trivance, such as a fog-bell, by which the seamen can be warned of danger is desirable.—S. C] Fig. 11. Model of part of a railway, with a centre guide rail to prevent the engine or carriages from running off the rails. Model of a set of railway carriages; the axles pass between the bodies of two, which places the weight below instead of above the centre of motion and traction, and admits of an increase of the diameter of the wheels in the ratio of five to three, diminishing resistance to the motive power in the same ratio. They may also be adjusted to suit both gauges. Fig. 12. Model of the main and after body of a ship fitted with submarine steam pi'opellers; applicable also to a life-boat. Fig. 13.

The present Class will be regarded with mucli interest by those who are concerned in the maritime and military position of this country. The objects it includes, and which are fully exhibited in many instances by models, present a favourable picture of the resources of Great Britain, particularly in her marine. They also represent her means of defence and general military equipment. The classification of objects here included comprises the following subdivisions :—A. Illustrations by Models of Shipbuilding for the purposes of Commerce, such as Ships, Boats, Brigs, Schooners, Luggers, &c. B. Illus- trations by Models of Shipbuilding for the purposes of war, such as Ships of the Line, Frigates, Corvettes, &c. C. Illustrations by Models of Shipbuilding for the application of Steam or other Powers, such as great War Steamers, Steam Vessels for long passages, Steam Vessels for Inland Navigation. D. Vessels used for Amuse- ment, and small Vessels generally, such as Sea-going and Eiver Yachts, Eowing-Boats, Fishing-Boats, Life- Boats, &c. E. Comprises Rigging, Anchors, Windlasses, Capstans, and other articles connected with Practical Seamanship, and saving of Life from Shipwreck. F. and G. relate to Army Clothing and Accoutrements. H. To Camp Equipage. I. Naval Gunnery. J. Artillery Equipments for the Garrison and Field, and Machinery for Transporting Ordnance. K. Includes Ordnance and Projectiles. H. Small Arms; and M. Military Engineering generally. The Class is not confined in the Building to one locality. Objects comprised by it are found in the South Gallery West, where some models of fortifications, together with a variety of guns, pistols, and swords are dispersed. The interspace between the South and North Galleries contains some costly and beautiful models exhibited by the Lords of the Admiralty. North of the Great Organ, a variety of models illustrating methods of rigging, capstans, windlasses, &c., are placed; and a space extending along the North Gallery eastward, contains models of ships, rafts, &c. On the Ground-floor, at the eastern extremity of the space devoted to machinery in motion, are also some objects related to Class 8. The remainder of this Class is to be sought in the Southern Galleries, on the foreign side of the Building, in Avenues P. and Q., extending from 62 to 70. The progress of naval architecture forms an interesting study in the objects included in this Class. The transition from the inconvenient and unsightly forms of antiquity to the graceful outlines and imposing contour of a modern first-class ship is no less remarkable as an indication of progress in this science, than instructive as a practical evidence of the consistency of beauty of form with those qualities deemed essential in these structures. The beautiful discoveries of the laws and forms of wave-movement in fluids—a study at first without apparent direct practical application—have been successfully reduced to practice, and have led to the adoption, in a few instances, of that form of construction which theory indicated to be the most suitable. A prolonged experience will probably justify this application. The beautiful models of frigates, and other ships, showing the bow, stern, and transverse section, will receive much attention. A very large collection of models of boats for saving life at sea is exhibited : so great a number of ingenious methods of constructing life-boats, assumed to be incapable of being upset or swamped, was probably never previously brought together. Some of these are on the twin principle, some are of caoutchouc, and some of gutta-percha. Ordnance and projectiles for purposes of war are sparingly exhibited. It appears to have been felt that this was an institution of peace. But of small arms, adapted chiefly for field and forest purposes, a great display is made at the end of the South Gallery West. Rifles, fowling-pieces, pistols, swords, &c., some of which exhibit skill in their construction, coupled with elaborateness of ornament. Several of them indicate the application of new principles for prevention of accidental discharge, and some of new propulsive power. The remarkalile properties of vulcanized caoutchouc, coupled with the discovery of the cumulating power of bands of this material, have been applied with success to various projectiles, and appear to promise new and important results. Out of the miscellaneous collection of objects grouped together in this Class, some adapted for recreation— some for utility—some for offence and defence—a selection for particular study may well be made by the visiter to the Building. But probably no part of this Class will be regarded with more interest than that which illus- trates the early, progressive, and present application of the steam-engine to navigation. The models illustrative of this subject form a most instructive })art of the collection.—R. E. West End G-allery and South-West Gallery. 1 Clayton, Richard, 9 Gresham Street—Inyenior.

Models of strong sail-canvas, made up for stuffing. Samples of the sail-canvas, and two sample bags of the cork cuttings. The life-belt can be folded up (nearly in the form of a cube) and made to serve as a cushion on board ship. If one of these compartments should be torn, the rest would still form a useful belt. It is made to surround the body of the wearer and leave his arms free. 9 HoLBROOK, J. N., 4 Remington Street, City Road— Inventor. Polar life-preserver. Wood raft, to be carried on board ships. Tubular raft for same purpose. Large round floater, to be thrown out to drowning persons. Captain's life-preserver. Gentleman's fishing-stand, for the middle of rivers. Ladies' bathing machine, by which they may with safety go far out, in fine weather, and obtain the full benefit of the sea, and be brought to shore by a line attached. Small bottomless life-boat. The same made of copper, to be placed on the sea shore. Model of an iron bottomless life-boat, 26 feet long. It is suitable for the roughest sea and actual service, in case of fire or shipwreck. The boat is made entirely of wrought and sheet iron, lined and covered with strong netting. Its dimensions are 26 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 3 feet deep, with iron gunwale 21 inches high; the rod and bar iron is about 800 feet, with 6 floaters made of 105 pieces of sheet iron, filled vsdth 300 feet of tubing formed into 150 air and waterproof barrels, vdth 15 tanks, holding 222 gallons for fresh water; provisions, warm clothing, compass, alarm apparatus, fuel, fireworks, rockets, with 1,000 feet of line attached. The whole is firmly secured together with about 400 screws and bolts, and riveted with 10,000 rivets. There is in the figure- head a simply constructed kettle, by the same inventor, that will boil in 10 minutes, 8 quarts of cofifee. The rudder can be shipped or unshipped in a few seconds, and oars and sail applied if required; the total weight is 20 cwt. The boat having no bottom renders it almost impossible to capsize, and should its six floaters become punctured, full of holes, and all filled with water, the numerous barrels inside vdll be amply suflS.cient to prevent it sinking—such is the buoyancy, that it will carry nearly 150 persons and food for many days. Model of a life and body preserver. White glass ginger-beer bottle, and green glass soda- water bottle, in the use of which no cork, string, or wire is required; they are also suitable for ale, porter, wine, &c.

Ice-boat, presented to the Royal Humane Society by the society established at Hamburgh, constructed, for light- ness, of wicker-work, and covered with raw hides; being placed upon rockers, this boat may be propelled on the ice with great facility, and in cases where a number of skaters break through in one spot, it has proved invaluable for saving lives. Breaker ladder, a simple ladder with two au'-tight barrels fixed at its broad end; being secured upon two wheels it may be used by one man with ease. On the immersion of a skater, the broad end of the ladder is pushed into the hole; the buoyant power of the barrels allows the drowning man to climb on to the machine; and to walk along it to its narrow end, which, resting upon the sound ice, affords the means of escape. Ice sledge, composed of two canoes united by three thwarts, forming thereby a floating platform. It can be used on the ice with ease; it has great buoyant power (being capable of sustaining as many persons as could cling to it), and cannot be capsized. Rope drag, used for dragging in deep water with a tide or running stream. When persons fall into the water from vessels or steam-boat piers, this machine can be used with greater certainty and in less time over a given space than any other kind of drag. The above apparatus is provided by the Royal Humane Society at stations on the River Thames, and on canals, docks, and places where they are most needed. West End Gallery and South-West Gallery. Pole drag, used in shallow water and where there is no stream. To the timely use of this machine many bathers and skaters owe their lives. A pole drag, with an air-tight cylinder placed in its centre, to render it a floating drag. It is used for rescuing persons who have broken through the ice and have been drawn under its surface. 16 Hatt, C, Lowestoft, Suffolk—Inventor.

Models of Porter's patent anchors, tested by order of the Lords of the Admiralty. Porter's Patent Anchors. These anchors (see fig.) are considered to possess superiority in strength and holding power. The advantages peculiar to their construction are—the protection of ships from accidents common with anchors of fixed arms, viz.: preventing fouling either at single anchor or otherwise; affording quick bite in all kinds of ground, hard or soft, and with short scope of cable will bring the ship up instantly; preventing damage to vessels in overlaying the anchor, or in passing over it in shallow water, as the upper fluke rests on the shank, it cannot enter the ship's bottom ; preventing vessels, while in crowded anchorage, from being hooked by the cables of other vessels; convenient for stowing on board, by dis- connecting the arms from the shank; easy of transport to or from a vessel in two boats, when the anchor is too heavy for one boat; and as, in proportion to the superior power of these anchors, less weight is required, thereby afibrding relief to ships' bows, and enabling them to sail with greater speed. 97 Betteley, J. & Co., Brunswick Dock, Liverpool— Inventor.

Various models of yachts and steamers, on the same principle, 128 Ordnance Survey Department. By Lieut.-Col. Hall—Producer. Description of Specimens forwarded by the Ordnance Survey Department:— I. —The Ordnance map of England and Wales, on the scale of one inch to a mile (equal to gg-gyg^^ part of the real size) in its present state of progress, consists of 90 sheets, double elephant size, mounted on linen, and form- ing a connected map 28^ feet by 23 feet 5 inches nearly, the more recently published sheets having, for greater convenience in engraving, been divided into four parts. The first sheets of part of Essex were published in 1805, and the last sheets included in this map, consisting of parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, were published in 1844. The sheets of the north of Lancashire and Yorkshire, now in course of preparation, are obtained by reduction from the six-inch map of those counties; it being intended to publish the remaining portion of the map of England and Wales on the one-inch scale. The greatest number of impressions from any one plate sold to the public has been 5,500 for sheet No. 7, pub- lished in 1822; and on account of the large number of impressions that have been taken from the plates gene- rally, many of them are now in want of extensive repair. This will, however, be avoided in future, by preparing duplicate plates by the electrotype process, as new plates are finished. II. —The Ordnance map of Lancashire, on the scale of six inches to a mile (equal to -josso^^ P^^* size), mounted on linen, and forming a connected map 40 feet by 27 feet. The survey was commenced in 1841, and the engraving of the 112 sheets (each 3 feet by 2 feet), of which it is composed, has just been completed. The physical relief and features of the ground are exhibited by a series of contour lines, or lines of equal altitude, at every 25 feet vertical distance apart; and these contour lines, together with the altitudes (above the mean level of the sea), of a large number of bench marks made on convenient and permanent sites, are recorded on the map. A very large proportion of the ornament (woods and hedge-rows), and the whole of the altitude figures, are engraved on the copper-plates by the aid of stamps, and the tinting or shading on noblemen's and gentlemen's parks and demesnes, as well as that of the lands, is performed by steam machinery, recently introduced. III. —The Ordnance map of the city of Dublin, on the scale of five feet to one mile (equal to part of the real size), mounted on calico, and forming a connected map 20 feet by 14 feet 6 inches. The survey was made in 1838, but the principal details have been corrected to 1847. To render it more pecu- liarly applicable to the purposes of sanitary improvement, the present sewerage and the pipes for the supply of water have been inserted, together with contours at equal intervals of five feet in height. This map is published in 33 sheets, each sheet 3 feet by 2 feet. IV. —The Ordnance map of the town of Liverpool, on the scale of five feet to one mile (equal to jojgth part of the real size), mounted on linen, and forming a connected map of 26 feet by 15 feet. It is engraved in outline, and coloured by hand. The survey was completed in 1849, and the engraving was finished in September, 1850. It is published in 50 sheets (each sheet 3 feet by 2 feet), and it is considered to be on as large a scale as can be put together for any connected public map. The ornament (trees and shrubs), figures, and small words and initials, are engraved by stamps. The altitudes are given above the mean level of the sea. V. —Specimens of hill drawings made by G. W. Carring- ton, Esq., formerly employed on the Ordnance Survey, pre- pared for and used by the engraver as a guide in etching the hill features of the one-inch map of England and Wales, VI. - Specimens of hill engravings of the same sheets, by which the fidelity with which the engravers have fol- lowed the drawings may be seen. VII. —Two engravings of hills, in trio-tinto, by Mr. James Duncan, principal engraver at the Ordnance Survey Office, Dublin. 1. Map on the scale of one inch to a mile of part of the county of Kilkenny, Ireland. 2. Map of the same, on the scale of half an inch to a mile. The natural features of the country have been engraved on these maps (which have been reduced from the Ord- nance Contoured Survey) in a new and peculiar style, which has been named trio-tinto by the inventor, Mr. Duncan, because it combines the effects of mezzotinto, aquatinta, and stippling. It is not a tedious or a costly process, and is applicable to other subjects in art, as well as that of engraving hills upon maps, VIII. —Contoured index map to the townland survey of the county of Kilkenny, Ireland; mounted on a model of the ground in papier-mache, by Mr. William Dalgleish, engraver at the Ordnance Survey Office, Dublin. As there is no limit to the number of models which may be cast in a single mould, maps mounted in a similar manner can be produced at a cost very little exceeding that of the same maps unmounted, and such maps will be of essential service in elementary schools, by giving the pupils a more correct knowledge than they would otherwise obtain, of the relief traced out by the contour lines. IX. —1. Engraved sheets of part of the Ordnance Sur- vey of the county of Kilkenny, on which the hills have been shaded by aid of the contour lines. Scale six inches to one mile. 2. Outline map of the same, reduced from the above. Scale one inch to a mile. 3. Part of the contoured index map of the county of Kilkenny. Scale half-an-inch to one mile (equal to j2^o^h part of the real size). These specimens are intended to show the facilities afforded by the contours on the Ordnance maps for draw- ing the hills upon them, and for giving a correct delinea- tion of the features of the country. X. —1. South-east and north-east quarters of sheet 91, of the one-inch map of England and Wales, showing the physical relief of the country by contour lines, or lines of equal altitude, at equal vertical distances apart; re- duced from the six-inch map of Lancashire and York* shire. 2. The same sheets shaded as hill drawings for the guidance of the engravers in executing the one-inch map of England and Wales, prepared entirely from the in- formation afforded by the reduction of the contour lines from the six-inch map. XL—Small model of a portion of country near Bangor, in North Wales, and corresponding dra\\'ing of the same, by G. W. Carrington, Esq., late of the Ordnance Survey. XII. —Plan of the borough of Southampton, on the scale of six inches to a mile, by Charles Holland, pen- sioner from the corps of Royal Sappers and Miners. Reduced from the five-feet map of the borough, prepared by the Ordnance Survey Department for the use of the local authorities in 1847. XIII. —Diagram showing the principal triangulation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, of which an account is now being prepared for publication. XIV. —Specimens of electrotyping:— 1. A copper-plate of the townland survey of the county of Donegal, engraved in 1837, and an impression from it. 2. An electro-matrix of No. 1, with the details erased, which have undergone alteration since the townland Survey was made. West End Gallery and South-West Galleby. 3. An electro-duplicate from th.e matrix, ISTo. 2, on which contour lines and other additions and alterations have been engraved, from the Ordnance survey in 1846-8, and two impressions of it, one of them taken imme- diately after its separation from the matrix, and the other taken from it in its present finished state. These specimens show more particularly the manner in which the process of electrotyping is applied to the pur- pose of revising the maps of the Ordnance Survey of the northern counties of Ireland, which must without its aid have been engraved entirely anew, as it would have been impossible to have carried out, on the original copper- plates, the extensive alterations which are necessary. 4. An original copper-plate of the Ordnance Survey of the City of Dublin, and an impression of it. 5. An electro-matrix of No, 4. 6. An electro-duplicate of No. 4, and an impression of it. 7. An unfinished copper-plate (as an index to the 5-feet plans of Manchester and Salford), prepared by electro- typing matrices from three different plates of the Ord- nance map of Lancashire, on the scale of 6 inches to a mile = xojgo; removing the detail exterior to the town- portion from the matrices, filing off the edges of the matrices at the junction lines of the sheets, and then depositing a duplicate plate on the joined matrices. 129 Ellis, F.

[The several nautical and scientific conditions, which this system of lightning-conductors in ships professes to satisfy, are as follow:— The conductors are capacious, and always in place, consequently ready to meet the most unexpected danger, at all times, and under any circumstances, in which the general fabric in all its casualties may become placed. The system of conductors, whilst being permanently fixed throughout their whole extent, still admit, upon demon- strable principles of electrical action, the perfect motion of the sliding masts one on the other, or of any part of the mast being removed either by accident or design, without for an instant interfering with the protecting power. The conductors are independent of the of&cers or crew of the ship; so that the sailors are never required to handle or replace them, often a very perilous and annoying service. The conducting plates are quite clear of the standing and running rigging: the whole series is calculated to resist external violence, and at the same time yield to any flexure or strain incidental to the spars to which they are applied. Finally, the whole system is so arranged, that a discharge of lightning falling on any part of the ship could scarcely enter upon any circuit in its course to the sea, of which the conductors did not form a part; hence arises that perfect security which experience has shown to be derived from such a system. In the original conception of this system, the inventor was led to consider the electrical discharge, as seen in the phenomenon of lightning, to be an explosive form of action of some unknown agency in nature when forcing its way through resisting matter, such as air, all vitreous and resinous bodies, and some other kinds of matter; whilst in traversing other bodies, ofiering but a very small re- sistance to its progress, this explosive form of action we call lightning becomes transformed into a sort of compara- tively quiescent current. The attempt was, therefore, to bring a ship, as far as possible, into that passive or non- resisting state which she would possess as regards the elec- trical discharge, supposing the entire mass were metallic throughout, so that, from the instant the agency of lightning struck upon any portion of the masts aloft, the explosive action would vanish, and the electrical discharge be prevented from traversing the vessel under the form of lightning. The following extract from the official journal of H.M.S. Conway, 28, whilst ;^roving, by a great natural experiment, in common with numerous other cases, the truth of this deduction, is of no ordinary interest in practical science:— Port Louis, Isle of France, 9th March, 1846, 11.45 A.M. The pendant staff at main-top mast-head was shivered in pieces by lightning, Harris's conductor car- rying off the fluid without further damage." The ship was refitting at this time, and the top- gallant masts on deck, so that a small spar was set up at the top-mast head as a temporary support for the pendant; this spar had not, consequently, any conductor on it. It is seen by the ship's journal, that the spar was shivered in pieces by the explosive action, which became imme- diately transformed into a comparatively quiescent Cur- rent on reaching the line of conduction. The report of the thunder was as if one of the main- deck guns had been fired. The gunner, who was sitting in his berth, immediately under one of the lateral branckes of the conductor passing through the ship, saw, throiigh the scuttle port, a brilliant blaze of light from the ship upon the sea, but experienced no inconvenience.] 151 Husband, J., Mylor, Falmouth—Inyentor and Constructor.

This keelson, being tubular and perfectly water-tight, assists in ballasting vessels when clear of cargo, by opening a valve to admit water; it is afterwards let off into the bottom of the ship, and pumped out in the ordinary way. The keelson may be used as a water- tank. [By lowering the centre of gravity of a ship its stability is increased: the best position for the ballast, therefore, is the lowest, viz., the keelson.—S.

Model of ship's windlass purchase, for raising anchors, chain-cables, and other heavy weights on board ships. Sufficient to ride the ship without the possibility of having the windlass upset. With this machine less than half the usual number of hands are required to weigh the anchor, &c. [The ordinary ship's windlass is a spindle-shaped beam, polygonal in transverse section, acting horizontally at right angles to a line bisecting the ship from stem to stern, and working in and bearing upon stanchions, called knight-heads," strongly fixed to the ship's deck and deck timbers, immediately abaft the foremast. The use of the windlass is to raise or weigh the anchor by means of the cable, which is made to take a turn round the windlass beam, whose spindle shape enables it to present itself at right angles to a line drawn from either hawse- hole, under which the anchor may lie, for the ship is hove short upon her anchor by means of the more quickly moving but less powerful capstan, before the windlass is called into action. The purchase" of a windlass is the power applicable to work it, or rather the means provided, as the handspike levers in ordinary use, of applying the power of the men to turn the beam, and wind or hoist up the anchor by its cable. Nothing can exceed the simplicity or the strength of the ordinary ship's wind- lass, having regard to the size and strength of the ship herself; but there is room for improvement in the power and in the speed of a windlass, and the means of doing the same work with fewer hands would be a great advan- tage.—W.

In the construction of made-masts, the marine glue admits of small seasoned Dantzic, or northern timber, being used instead of yellow pine. Upwards of 200^. is said to be saved in one mast, in its first construction, and upwards of 25,000 tons additional strength dispersed over the hull, and 6,384 tons over the internal surfaces of the masts of a first-rate ship. This calculation is under the actual strength, being calculated at three tons per square foot instead of four—the timber's breaking strain. A Commission recently appointed by the Admiralty, to collect evidence and report their opinion on the value of the marine glue, for the use of the invention in Her Majesty's Navy, collected evidence to this efiect, viz.:— That out of the 130 vessels which have been glued in the Eoyal Navy, one caulking and paying with glue has been found equal to three times with pitch; besides other valuable evidence as to its cleanliness, security^ and com- fort to crews. At an examination, some months since, in Sheerness yard, of the masts and bowsprits of five line-af-battle ships, all made since 1841-2, of yellow pine timber with- out marine glue, 16 out of 20 were found rotten and condemned, although the masts of three of the ships had never been in commission; while all the masts and yards made with marine glue, in 1842-3, have been found, on their return from foreign service, inseparable even by the wedge, as testified in official reports. The rapid rotting of yellow pine masts made on the old method is well known; and it was as a remedy for this that the committee of master shipwrights attached the highest importance to the marine glue; stating—''that should it be found to retain its great adhesive force, after years of trial in a tropical climate, masts for the future might be made of small seasoned timber, and a great saving effected throughout the navy." [Decks, or rather the joints between the planks which form the floors or decks of ships, are usually caulked with oakum; the joints being merely narrow spaces which the caulking fills up. The joints are made open, that the planks, being of wood, may have room to swell when wetted, and the caulking ought to be so elastic as to yield to compression, and return again upon the shrinking of the planks in dry weather, and capable at the same time of resisting water. These requisites, oakum, with the admixture of a little tar, is found to possess in a great degree, and, aided by a paying of pitch on the surface of the seam, answers very well for the caulking of lower decks. Pitch is useless for this purpose on upper decks. Any substance possessing the qualities above alluded to as requisites, being impervious to the weather, not liable to be destroyed by moisture, as ordinary animal glue is, and yet capable of being used and of acting adhesively, as being durable and cleanly, must be of value. ''Made-masts" are masts not in one tree, log, or spar, as to its transverse section, but made up or built of several pieces fitted together and hooped, as a cask is. It is difficult in practice to fit and bring together the parts of a made-mast so closely as not to require some packing in the joints, to aid the hoops in preventing movement among them, and to keep out water from the body of the mast. The glue referred to is intended to supply the packing, to cause adhesion of the parts of a made-mast, and to exclude the water.—W. H.] 189 0'Conner, Hugh, Limerick—Inventor.

Small pattern life-boat, clinker-built, fitted with air- tight ceiling, feathered and grooved up to her gunwales, forming an air-tight inner skin. This boat has a well or tank in her centre bottom, holding 44 gallons of water, with which it is ballasted when in the water with the crew on board;—and when the well is full, the valves shut down tight by their own weight. The boat is also provided with air-tight compartments in her bottom sur- rounding the well, to the sides and ends, rising at each end with nearly the same sheer as the gunwale and in other parts. The boat is intended to answer either for beach service or for a passenger ship or steamer; for the latter purpose it is fitted with two small self-working lug-sails, and a jib and a rudder to use when under sail. The well, in this service, can be filled with fresh water, and the air-cases with bread and provisions. This boat has been severely tested in heavy broken water on the hard sand, and could neither be swamped nor upset. 191 Trail, Archibald, 8 Upper East Smithfield —Inventor and Patentee. Patent storm sails: the novelty consists in the appli- cation of narrow corded bands of one inch in breadth, with cords wove therein, being sewn in reversed angular directions, on the fore and after part of the sail, the ends of which are spliced into the bolt rope. By this means the destructive effects of the wind are confined within the limit of the diamond (being about 46 inches), and the sail wears much longer, by equalizing the strain over all its parts. 192 Addison & Gilbert, Emmett Street, Poplar— Inventors.

Duplex rudder and screw propeller.—The engraving represents a stern view of a vessel with two rudders and two screw propellers, fitted in new positions for improved steering and propelling. From the midship section of the vessel to the stem, no alteration is introduced into the form of the hull; but abaft this point they commence. First, the keel, with the dead wood, stern-post, and rudder, are removed, and the flooring above receives a suitable form for strength. Two additional keels lie in a line parallel with the former keel, but placed at a dis- tance of two or more feet, according to the size of the vessel, on either side of it, terminating at the midship section in the fore-part, and in a line with the former West End Gallery and South-West Gallery. stern-post in the after-part. Framework is carried down to these keels, leaving a free channel for the water to run between them in the direction of the midship keel. A stern-post is placed at the end of the additional keels, and upon each of them hangs a rudder. Carpenter's Duplex Rudder and Screw-propeller. A screw-propeller works in an orifice in each frame- work, on the common arrangement. One of the propel- lers is a little more aft than the other, to allow full play- to both, and yet economise space in the mid channel. The appearance of the vessel in the water is not altered in the side view, neither is it much changed in the stern view. The consequence of this new arrangement is, that the rudders and propellers are acting with double effect in each case. The rudders are receiving an increased power, because the impact of the water upon them takes place at an angle which is constrained by the situation of the keels, and which is the most favourable that can be had. The two propellers, also, revolving as they do in water confined in a limited space, are working to considerable advantage. The effect actually produced is, that, when required, a vessel can be turned about in nearly half the space that a single rudder can turn it, and the two pro- pellers will give a proportionate increase of speed. The advantages gained by the new construction of the vessel are considerable. There will be more strength, more bearings in the run, and more breadth for cabin room. The rolling and pitching will be reduced very considerably. The vessel will not make lee-way as formerly; the vibration, or tremulous motion, will be lessened. The safety of the vessel will be very much increased, because the duplex rudder will have the effect of instantaneously changing the direction should she be running into some unexpected danger; also, if one rudder should be damaged, the other can be used to steer with. The propellers also can be used separately when required. For river navigation, the advantages obtained by the two rudders and two propellers will jointly enable the screw principle to be applied to steam-boats plying in shallow water, such as the Thames above London Bridge, or to vessels having small draught of water. For Trans- atlantic ships the use of the two rudders and two propel- lers will jointly ensure their making a passage in less time and at less expense than before, also with more cer- tainty and safety than can possibly be done by a single screw or paddle-wheels. The duplex rudder is applicable to paddle-wheel as well as screw steam-boats. 195 Laurie, R. W., 8 Carlton Place, Laurieston, Glasgow—Inventor and Patentee.

This name is found engraved on all the Scottish broadswords considered of peculiar excellence. The name and the works of this celebrated maker form the sole record of his existence. His manufactory, and even the period when he flourished, are buried in oblivion. It has been supposed he was a Spanish or Italian artificer, brought over by James IV. or James V., to instruct the Scots in the manufacture of sword-blades. When genuine, the blades were always marked with a crown. The material for swords is obtained from Shefl&eld, in the form of a piece of steel sufiicient for two swords, and technically called a " mould." This is first beaten out to the proper length by the forger; it is then hardened and tempered by alternate heating and dipping in cold water; after this the blade is ground by a millstone driven by steam-power. The blade is subsequently proved by striking it on the flat side, vdth all the force of a power- ful man, against a stone, and in other ways. The sword is then polished, ornamented, and mounted.—W.

A new double gun, (1851). The novelty of this gun is the self-adjusting primers, without cover or spring, that vsdll not only defy wet weather, but also the saline atmosphere in sea-coast service—in which he has proved the failure of all copper-caps and fine powder. This new gun has conical breechings that will admit, when re- quired—as in wet weather, or at sea—the use of the largest grain cannon-powder. The proportions of this gun are the result of forty years' experience. With the improved ignition—when applied to a single gun,—the patent breeching is wholly superseded by a saiicer-plug, that gives a direct and instantaneous communication, and also extra force, by getting rid of the centre-hole—which is as injurious to the shooting of a detonator as it was advantageous to that of a flint-gun.

These rifles are furnished with grooved bullets. The telescopic sight can be fixed to the piece in a West End Gallery and South-West Gallery. moment; it in no way interferes with the usual sights. In the use of the common sight the unassisted eye cannot observe with distinctness, at the same instant of time^ two or more objects at different distances from it; and as the breech sight, the muzzle sight, and the object aimed at, are necessarily at different distances from the eye, it is difficult to bring them at once into line, and at the same time to give the proper elevation to the piece. This disad- vantage is obviated by the use of the telescope., since the lines placed in the focus of the eye-piece, and the object aimed at, as seen through the glass, appear equally distinct to the eye. The grooved bullet sustains the spinning motion, so that the pointed end goes foremost throughout the longest flight. The groove in the zone reduces the friction, gives the rifling a firmer hold so as to prevent stripping, and secures its longer axis continuing in the axis of the piece. It is less affected by wind, and has greater power of pene- tration than the round bullet. The telescopic sight also enables the sportsman to esti- mate the distance of the deer. 238a Watkins & Hill, 5 Charing Cross—Manufacturer.

Series illustrative of the manufacture of sword-blades, of cast-steel. [While Sheffield is the great source of supply for the best cutlery, Birmingham is the place where the great bulk of swords and matchets for home purposes or for exportation are manufactured. The manufacture calls into requisition no small proportion of the industry of the district. Swords are made by hammering out pieces of steel received from Sheffield, and called sword moulds. In each of these there is sufficient steel to form two swords; the flutes or creases on the back of the blade are formed by means of various shaped pieces of steel fastened to the anvil, corresponding to the indentation to be made: they are then curved or fitted, if straight, into a gauge; the process of "hardening" succeeds, which consists simply in heating the steel veiy regularly, and immersing it in water; it is then tempered (brought back to a straw colour), tested by striking on the back and edge against a wood block, and if it stands this, is passed to the grinder, who, seated before an enormous grind- stone, speedily removes all the irregularity of the hammering. To clean the ^'ooyes, stones with raised beads are used; glazing follows on bobs of wood with emery attached thereto by gliie; and the sword is'finally polished on a wheel with fine emery and oil; powdered iron-stone, or crocus, gives the brilliant polish. Where the swords are highly ornamental, the deep rich blue is produced by heat: the gilding of the ornaments on blades, when introduced, is said to be a secret process. Da- mascening, however, with precious metals, a more in- tricate mode of ornamentation, is known, and consists in making an incision in the article to be adorned, and in- troducing by pressure threads of gold or silver. This affords an opportunity for the exercise of taste, and as such it was eagerly embraced by the middle-age artists. Proofs of their excellence therein is testified by numerous specimens in public and private collections. Etching, another mode of ornamentation, is performed by covering the blade to be etched with a ground upon which the design is sketched, and finally cutting through this to the steel. A suitable acid is applied (acetic and nitric); this, after remaining a sufficient time, is removed, the ground cleansed off, and the design is found on the weapon perfect in proportion to the skill displayed by the artist. Steel sheaths are made by bending thin plates of steel round suitably formed mandrils; they are soldered at the junc- tures, are ground, and finally polished by the processes already described as being used in the polishing of swords. —W.

Specimens of gun-barrel manufacture in every state, from the old horse-nail stubs of the earliest period to the latest improvements. [The serious accidents arising from the bursting of gun-barrels have led manufacturers to seek the means of preventing their recurrence as far as possible; fibres of iron strictly parallel would fail to impart the necessary strength, as also would iron if of a uniform crystalline composition. A better construction of material has been found in the welding together portions of iron and steel; these become interlaced in the various processes of hammering from the bundle of iron and steel called the bloom," until the barrel passes finished from the hands of the forger. The twisted appearance which is observed on the best barrels, even after the rich brown stain is removed, arises from the ribbon-like form which the ''bloom," after being drawn into a strip, takes when wound spirally round a mandril previous to welding; these are known as Damascus barrels. Barrels of a more common kind are produced from ^'blooms" made exclusively of stub-nails, while a more common class still are produced of a cheaper material, not wrapped in a spiral form, but welded in the length by one heat by means of a pair of rollers; they are ultimately extended to their proper length by the same process. Guns are bored out in large manufactories by means of steam or other power, the instrument being a rod of steel, with its cutting portion 8 or 10 inches long, and its square sides made up with pieces of wood. Rifleing, viz., imparting to the interior of the barrel a series of spiral curves, by means of which a perfectly direct motion is given to the bullet, involves care, attention, and skill in its preliminary stages, but is in reality a simple operation. Ordinary gun-barrels are finished by being ground on large grindstones; those of a superior quality are turned. Breeching, or fitting in the plug at the butt which stops the end, and upon which is fitted the nozzle for the percussion cap, requires nicety and careful workmanship. Gun-barrels are coloured by means of acid; repeated coats are given until the deep rich brown is obtained; they are then polished.—W. C.

Soldier's musket, substituting the blade of tlie bayonet for the ramrod. 254 Shaw, J., Glossop—Inventor and Patentee. India-rubber air-gun. The novelty consists in the absence of a reservoir of condensed air, or separate pump, or valve of any kind; the requisite pressure of air for one discharge is instantly obtained from a pull of the trigger, by means of a single stroke of a condensing syringe, which is acted upon by a previously extended India-rubber spring. This gun is represented in the annexed cut. Flattened bullets, being specimens of its effect on an iron target at 20 yards. Without any previous pumping, the requisite pressure of air for ona discharge is procured instantly at the pull of the trigger, by a single stroke of a condensing syringe, actuated by a previously extended India-rubber spring. There is no separate pump, no reservoir of condensed air, nor valve of any kind. net Shaw's India-rubber Air-gun. Fig. I. represents the gun complete. Fig. II. is an un- derneath view of the gun unstocked, showing a slot (k k) in the case, through Vv'hich are visible tlie piston-rod and bead, with a portion of the India-rubber hereinafter de- scribed, and in the state in which they appear after one discharge, and prior to preparation for another. Fig. IV. represents a longitudinal section of about one half of the breech end of the gun unstocked: a is the trigger; b, the piston; cc, the inside of the pump barrel or condensing syringe; d, the piston-rod; e, the pump top perforated in the centre for the piston-rod to work through, and at the top edge for the reception of the end of the shot barrel, f; G is the bullet, held in its present situation by a slight contraction of that end of the shot barrel, i is one end of the India-rubber spring, attached to the hooked end of the piston-rod and similarly attached by its other end to a hook in the inside of the muzzle-end of case; j j are por- tions of the case, enclosing the shot-barrel and India-rub- ber, the lower shaded part being one end of the slot (k k. Fig. IV.) The section. Fig. IV,, shows the gun in act of discharge; the trigger being just pulled, releases the pis- ton, which, by the reactive power of the India-rubber spring, rushes to the opposite end of the syringe, con- densing the air therein, which air forcibly ejects the bullet. To prepare the gun for dischai'ge, the ball, if the barrel be a rifled one, must first be rammed down; an adapted hook must then be introduced into the slot (k k), betw^een the bead (h, Fig. IV.) and the hooked end of the piston- rod, as plainly indicated by Fig. 3. The butt-end of the gun must then be placed against the top part of the thigh, and the hook pulled with both hands, in the direction of the breech, until the trigger, by means of the small spring at its back, catches the piston. With a smooth or unrifled barrel, 400 discharges per hour can be made; the bullet in that case requiring no ramming, it being drawn down the barrel by the partial vacuum caused by drawing down the piston. The spring consists of from sixteen to eighteen India-rubber bands. Patent valve-bugle. The patent valves are applicable to all brass instruments, and are manufactured by Mr. J. Kohler, Henrietta Street, Co vent Garden. 255 Fletcher, Thomas, 161 Westgate Street, Gloucester —Inventor and Manufacturer. Double guns, with improved lock, jointing, and breech- ing, so as to render them perfectly waterproof. The improvements consist in the following pecu- liarities:—1st. The whole of the percussioning is on the breeching, the nipple being placed in the centre, thus avoiding the joints between the breeching and the break- off. 2nd. Peculiar construction of the break-off, giving greater facility for placing the barrels in the stock. 3rd. The closeness of the cocks covering the caps and nipples, confining the gas from the explosion of the caps. 4th. The application of platina in the percussioning of tho breeching to prevent corrosion by the copper caps. 256 Forsyth & Co., Leicester Street, Leicester Square— Inventors and Manufacturers. Patent safety gun, which cannot be discharged eitliei' in carrying when loaded, or during the time of loading, until brought up to and placed against the shoulder, and the trigger pulled in the firing position. In its use the chances of the occurrence of an accident, even at full-cock, are entirely obviated, the cock being checked in its descent by the projection of the safety-stop. Forsyth and Company's Patent Safety Gun. The preceding cuts represent the apparatus for working the safety stops from the heel-plate of the gun; the safety-stops themselves, and the original percussion lock. Also, an original percussion gun, illustrating the first application of the principle of percussion by the exhibitor to the purposes of fire-arms. This gun contains a reser- voir of percussion powder sufl&cient for a day's shooting. [Fire-arms have been discharged by three different methods, by the direct application of a lighted match, by the ignited particle of steel produced by the flint lock, and by the ignition of an explosive powder through the heat developed by percussion. This is the exact his- torical oi'der of these applications. The flint-lock is now passing rapidly into disuse, and the principle of per- cussion, in various forms, but essentially the same, is obtaining universal application. This principle was first discovered and applied by Mr. Forsyth in 1819, and was then patented. The explosive powder was contained in a small magazine attached to the locks, and by turning it on its axis a few grains of the powder were conveyed beneath a striking pin, and were ignited on the descent of the hammer. The copper cap has now supplied the place of these magazines.] 257 Erskine, James, Newton Stewart, Scotland— Inventor and Manufacturer.

Models of two Falmouth fishing-boats. 307 Hedley, George, Forke Street, Monkwearmouth, Sunderland—Manufacturer. Model of a merchant-vessel of the first class, on the scale of a quarter of an inch to the foot. The dimen- sions are as follow :—Extreme length, 172 ; length of keel, 161; breadth of beam, 35^ ; depth of hold, 23 ; length of poop, 48 ; length of forecastle, 33 feet. The ship is framed all round, instead of having a separate stern-frame, and is built up in the usual manner. It has five keelsons, one at the bottom of the hold, two on the foothooks, and two on the second foothooks or bilge. It is stated that as jack-screws are used in the building of this ship, she will possess one great advantage over others, whose shores being made in the ordinary way, are liable, when loaded, in a storm, to be thrown out, and cannot be put in again. The screws adopted in this ship, if likely to be thrown out during the working of the vessel in a heavy sea, can be screwed up again from the deck by a brass plate "let into a plank of the deck, and applying the key to tighten the screw, without the least injury to the vessel or cargo. The 'twixt-beam staple-knees are made half-circle, so that the two throat- holes go in the upper stroke or plauk, and the other three holes in the stroke or plank below. In between decks and lower hold are diagonal straps, 78 feet long. The iron fastenings, hooks, riders, and crutches are all secured the same as forward, across the stern-post ; diagonal straps are placed on the hold and deck beams, to prevent the vessel straining, when rolling and labouring athwart in a head sea. There are eight ventilators in the cover- ing-boards, to ventilate the timbers, and she is fitted with Mr. Hughes' new windlass and steering apparatus, a larger model of the latter of which is in the Exhibition. 308 Swallow, J.

This side is so arranged as to open, and show the internal structiire of the ship. The model was made by Thomas Hardy. 316 Hodgson, Moses, 6 Moor Street, Sunderland— Manufacturer. Model of a pilot coble, with its oars, sail, and other appointments. It is similar to those which ply out of the port of Sunderland. 317 Monteagle, The Right Hon. Lord, 7 Park Street, Westminster—Producer. Model of a curragh, or light row-boat, portable by one man; used for fishing on the north-west coast of Ireland. [Ofi" the western coast of Ireland, which to a consider- able extent is ''iron-bound," the ancient Celtic boat called the curragh (carabus), or nivoque (navicula), has been constructed so late as the present century. It was constructed with a frame of osiers woven in basket- work, and covered over with a hide. It is accurately described by Julius Solinus, as well as in the following passage from Cassar:—''Imperat militibus Caesar ut naves —faciant cujus grueris eum superioribus annis usus Bri- tanniae docuerat. Carina primum ac statumina ex levi materia fiebant, reliquam corpus navium viminibus con- textam coriis integebantur."—De Bello Civ., lib. i, § 54. This ancient boat has been superseded within the last 40 years by the modern curragh, or canoe, of which the present model is given on a scale of an inch to a foot. Strained canvas, coated with tar, is now used in preference to horsehide, as less liable to stretch when exposed to sea-water. These peculiar boats are well adapted to the coasts of Ireland; they are easily hauled up by the fisherman, and carried to his own cottage. Against a heavy sea and wind they possess great superiority over boats bioilt with wood. But they are only suited to line fishing, from the necessity that the men should remain steady to their seats. When going before the wind, a light lug-sail is some- times set, and though apparently unsteady and unsafe, these curraghs, when managed with dexterity, bear a heavier sea than any other open boat. They are usually manned by four rowers, each using two paddles. The original curragh, or carabus, as it is called by Latin writers, was well known in ancient times. "Cara- biis parva Scaplia ex vimine facta, qufe contexta crude cordio genus navigii praebit."—Isidor. xix. 1. West End Gallery and South-West Gallery. The Commentator on Cfesar (Notes Var.) observes:— Non dubito quia vox Carabus vox sit Britannica aut Belgica,"—Anglice, coricle. See farther, Chamock's jSTa- val Architecture, vol. i. p. 222.] 317a Warner, Captain—Inventor, Specimens of bomb-shells, &c. 318 Hughes, John, Sunderland—Inventor. Model of steering apparatus. This consists of two cast-iron standards, with two traverse boxes at the top. These boxes are screwed on to a toothed rack, which has a pinion on the upright shaft to which the steering-wheel is affixed, so that when the steering-wheel is turned either way, motion is given to the rack, and thence com- municated to the rudder by means of two connecting rods leading to the tiller, which is placed on the head of the rudder. The apparatus, or steering-machine, is de- tached altogether, and is placed on the under side of the deck beams of the ship, and is free from any obstruction. When the sea strikes the rudder it runs amidships ; the great leverage that the helmsman has gives him a proper command. Model of masting-shears, capable of lifting a boiler of 20 tons weight, and shears on this principle may be con- structed to raise any weight that may be required. They are also adapted to put masts into ships. The model is made on a half-inch scale. The machinery is under cover, to protect it from corrosion, and to keep it in proper order. The middle storey is intended as a warehouse or loft for fitting up the rigging of larger vessels. 320 Rook, George Henry, Landport, Portsmouth— Working Shipwright. Model of Her Majesty's steam-yacht tender Fairy," to the scale of a quarter of an inch to a foot. The yacht, with her entire fittings on the deck, the carving and the gilding, and her masts and rigging, are closely imitated. The model, in a glass case, appears to be floating on water; but the representation of the surface of the water may be withdrawn, and the vessel displayed resting upon blocks similar to those on which ships are built. The screw-propeller is then seen ; and its action may be exhi- bited on turning a little machinery by means of a pipe- key, to be applied on the deck. {In Class 6.) 322 Druery, John, Hartlepool—Inventor.

In the Building the implements and other apparatus of this Class will be found in Avenues P. Q. and R., extending from the western wall of the Building to the Sculpture Court. Some of the machines in motion, such as mills for farm produce, together with some of the steam-engines adapted for agricultural purposes, are found in the space generally occupied by Classes 5, 6. Outside the Building, also, at its western end, are gates, hurdles, &c., which properly belong to this Class. The results of much effort, in calling in the powers of the steam-engine to the aid of agriculture as to that of manufacture, are evident in this Class. The agricultural steam-engine is itself an interesting object. For its practical application, great simplicity, combined with efficiency and strength in the working parts, is absolutely necessary. The mechanism requires to be such as shall not be easily deranged, or if deranged to be capable of easy adjustment. The elements of lightness and portability, with simple but efficient working power, naturally offer themselves, as of the first moment, in the construction of an engine to be managed by agricultural labourers, to be dragged into the fields, and often over bad ground and roads. The oscillating cylinder-engine is used in some of the instances exhibited, and in others the cylinder is placed horizontally, and is fixed, the slide-valves being acted on by an eccentric in the usual manner. These engines have been put to actual service, together with the other machines in this Class ; having been tested in the trial-yard on their way to the Building. Upon the result of these experiments will principally depend the report of the Jury for this Class. A variety of ploughs and pulverizers are shown, the peculiar form and construction of which are submitted to practical agriculturists for their approbation. A large amount of attention has been given to the form of the share and furrow-turner, with a view to their adaptation to soils of varying tenacities and degrees of resistance. Many of the iron ploughs are deserving of notice from their compactness and lightness of construction. Some are made especially for convenience of stowage for emigrants. The drilling, sowing, and manuring machines exhibit features of interest. In many of these, vulcanized caoutchouc has been serviceably applied for conducting the seed, manure, &c., to the coulters. The steerage of many of these machines exhibits ingenious arrangements. Attempts have frequently been made to substitute mechanical for hand-labour in harvesting operations. Some curiously-contrived forms of apparatus are found in this Class adapted for cutting corn and grass, and thus in a degree dispensing with the labours of the reaper and the mower. Barn machinery is also well represented in a variety of chaff-cutters, winnowing, thrashing, and other machines and mills, which afford an instructive view of the present extensive applications of machinery to agricultural uses. The implements connected with the all-important subject of drainage are specimens exhibiting much inventive skill. The pipe, brick, and tile machines are highly interesting, and some are exhibited in operation, automatically producing, from well- kneaded clay, those various articles, the ordinary manufacture of which requires the labours of several indi- viduals. The pipe-making machines present a singular aspect when in work, discharging an endless row of pipes of wet clay, which are divided by the alternate rise and fall of horizontal wire. By a simple arrangement the length of these pipes can be adjusted to any required extent. On the South Side : Areas N. 0. 1; P. Q. R. 1 to 27. In no other country, of late years, has agriculture been rendered so largely an object of experiment as in the United Kingdom, and in none other do the requisite amount of capital, and the supply of means for such experi- ments, proportionately to the area of the soil occupied, exist. Perhaps it may be added, that in no other country does there exist the same absolute necessity for the complete development of the productive capabilities of the soil. The application of philosophy to this art is recent, but promises favourable results. Chemistry has been applied to, for the knowledge of the properties of various earths, and Mechanics become the next object of study with a view to reduce the soil to the conditions required by the cultivator.—R. E. 1 Stanley, William Proctor, Market Place, Peterborough—Manufacturer. 1. A two-horse portable steam-engine, with an im- proved boiler, invented by John Medworth, of Nottingham. The fire is surrounded by water; in and across the fire-box, is a circulating chamber or water bridge, in the form of a square box, with about two inches inside water space. It has inlet pipes at bottom, and outlet pipes at top, into the body of the boiler. The water circulates through this box, and its violent ebullition liberates the steam as rapidly as it is generated. The cut, fig. 1, repre- sents this steam-engine. Fig. 1.

Improved draining plough, (patented for the United Kingdom, France and Belgium) capable of effectually ex- On the South Side : Areas N. 0. 1; P. Q. K. 1 to 27. ecuting any drainage that may be required above tlie depth of 4 feet, at less than half the cost of the present system^ and without disturbing the surface soil. The following engraving shows the machine just as it is finishing the drain. When commencing work, the plough is taken to one end of the field, and the capstan is moored at the other; the wire rope being run off the drum of the capstan and attached to the plough (either singly in shallow draining or soft soils, or returned round a single sheave when greater power is required), as shown in the cut. The plug and coulter are then dropped into a hole prepared for them, and the pipes threaded on a rope are attached to the back of the plug, the hole being sloped off backwards to allow them to enter easily. The horses are attached to the horse levers of the capstan, and by walking in a circular course, wind the wire rope on to the drum, and pull the plough forward with the pipes attached. When the required length of drain is com- pleted (which may be any length under 225 yards), the plough is run into another hole, and the rope on which Fowler's Improved Draining Plough and Windlass. the pipes are strung, being unhooked, is pulled out back- wards, and the drain is complete. As it would be in- convenient to have the pipe-rope in one length, it is made in pieces of 50 feet each and by a simple contrivance, as one rope enters, the other is attached to the end. It does not occupy more than one quarter of an hour from the time of finishing one drain to commencing another. The accuracy with which the clay pipes are laid cannot, it is said, be equalled by any hand work; and from the bottom being undisturbed, they are not liable to sink, as is sometimes the case even in the best-executed hand- draining. By this process, not only is the cost of burying the tiles reduced in many cases 50 per cent., but from the quickness and neatness of the operation it can be done at any season of the year, without injury to any short crop or interfering with the common farm operations, the surface soil being untouched, except at the headlands; and where the hedges are low, the capstan can often be fixed in the next field. In undulating or flat lands, the levels are kept, or a fall insured, by working the coulter up and down in the body of the plough, by means of the worm and worm-wheel, shown in the cut, the ploughman's eye being guided by a try-sight balanced on the plough, and a cross staff erected at the end of the field. Several of these ploughs are now in constant work, and though great lengths of the drains have been opened in the presence of large numbers of agriculturists, in no instance have tiles been found incorrectly laid. The quantity of draining that can be done per day will vary with each particular field, but in common clay land when the depth does not exceed three feet, between 6,000 and 7,000 feet will be completed with four horses in the common working day; but when the depth exceeds three feet, from two to three horses will not do more than half that quantity. Where it is possible, this drain- ing would be much more cheaply done in summer; as twice the quantity of work may be done by having two teams of horses out, and the other expenses would not be increased in proportion. 28b Fowler & Fry, Temple Gate Implement Factory, Bristol—Designers and Manufacturers. Eegistered farm cart, adapted for harvest and winter purposes.

[Though employed in a rude form in the case of Canadian sheep or store farming, the use of the syphon in this country is unknown in sheep-washing, a process which is performed either by ^'leaping" or "rough- handling" the animals, to their great injury and that of the wool. There is reason to believe that the free application of water, promoted by the use of this apparatus, will improve the woolly fibre, by precluding irregular growth, and the formation of knots or joints, besides conducing to the health of the sheep, A preju- dice exists against giving water to sheep, yet the necessity of.washing is admitted.] On the South Side : Areas N. 0. 1; P.

''Airish mow," adapted to the pri^servation of corn in the harvest-time of rainy seasons. In Cornwall and Devonshire the farmers, when cutting their crops in unfavourable weather, commence early in the morning and have the produce of whole fields stacked on the spot, in '^airish mows," before the evening, where it remains for months, free from heat and injury, until it suits the grower to house or otherwise disjiose of it. Each mow contains generally about 400 sheaves. [In wet harvests it is desirable to adopt some method for keeping the cut corn as dry as possible, in order to avoid sprouting and other injury. In the north of Europe light frames are erected in the field, on which the sheaves are placed with their heads downwards, and the top ridge is then lightly thatched; or hurdles may be set up, inclined towards each other at any desired angle, and the sheaves placed on them in layers and then thatched. In many counties in England the practice is to set up a certain number of sheaves to form a stack, which is ^^capped" or "headed" by other sheaves placed on it with their heads downwards. In Northumberland a practice still exists called "gaiting."—A single sheaf is taken; the band is tied higher up than usual; the butt, by a pecu- liar movement of the workman, is spread out, and the sheaf is then set up by itself. By thus separating the straw the wet does not lodge so much as it otherwise would do. The practice of making " airish mows" has generally declined, even in Cornwall and Devon:—smaller mows are now made in the form of a conical heap, and containing about a load of sheaves.—J. W.] 53 CoocH, Joshua, Harleston, near Northampton— Inventor and Manufacturer. Patent machine for winnowing or dressing corn and seeds.

Improved oil-cake breaker, made entirely of iron. 107 Sewell & Co., Longtown, Cumberland, and 30 Spring Street, Hyde Park—Manufacturers. ISTetherby plough, designed to cut, displace, and leave in a proper position, furrows of various widths and depths on moderately stiff soils, where the more ' ^springy " action of a lighter plough increases the ti-action, and deteriorates the appeara.nce of the work done. It is sufficiently strong for almost any soil, but for very stiff clays, it requires another form of mould plate. The principal resistances in ploughing are, the quiescent tenacity of the soil, and its rubbing friction along the mould-plate. The first is the most important; for since the friction of a body at rest is much greater than its moving friction, it follows, that in a well-formed mould- plate, the rubbing friction of the soil can only be limited. To start, displace, and replace the soil with least power, are therefore the requisites of a good plough. These qualities obtained, a few pounds more or less weight in the implement itself could make no material difference; as the actual weight should depend upon the nature of the soil to be removed. The attachment of the tractive power, however, is of importance; since it should be in, or as near to the direct line of the greatest resist- ance, as is practicable. The greatest resistance will be between the cutting edge of the coulter and that of the share which fairly starts the soil into motion, as is testi- fied by the greater wear of these parts. Since this point is near the land side, it is evident that horses walking in the previously displaced furrow are pulling at an angle of several inches from the land, requiring some compensat- ing resistance to keep the plough to the land. When one horse, however, is attached on each side, and as near to the line of resistance as they can be, their angular traction balances each other, and results in their combined force forming a diagonal line of traction in the direct line of resistance, requiring less power and less guidance to produce straight uniform furrows. The ISTetherby plough seeks to lessen resistance by the anti-fiictional curvature of the mould plate, allowing the displaced soil to press with less intensity over a larger surface, thereby preventing abrasion; and by the attach- ment of one horse on each side of the line of resistance, as sufficient power for all ordinary surface work. 108 Reeves, Thomas, Robert, & John, Bratton, Westbury, WiY^s—Manufacturers. Patent liquid manure-distiibuting cart.

A wrought-iron skim. This implement, of which a woodcut is annexed, is generally used for paring or skim- On the South Side : Areas N. 0. 1; P. Q. E. 1 to .27. miiig stubbles, immediately after harvest; it may also be used for paring turf, as a pair-horse scarifier, for working fallow ground, and for many other purposes. It has the great advantage of simplicity of construction, and will work easily three acres per day with a pair of horses. The handles act as a lever, by bearing on which (see engraving) the implement can be instantaneously thrown out of work; the coulters following the knives are very useful for dividing into smaller portions, or ''harrowing the surface pared by the knives, which precede them. This operation has the effect of exposing the roots of weeds, &c., more perfectly to the action of the sun; thus pi'e- venting the possibility of their growing again, even though the land should be left in this state for several days. Hill's Wrought-iron Skim. A wrought-iron expanding horse-hoe. This implement is intended for hoeing turnips, potatoes, &c., and is con- structed on an entirely new system of expansion, which enables the workman to alter the width of the knives without stopping the hoe. This is effected instantaneously without the adjustment of any screw or pin, by simply opening or drawing together the handles of the imple- ment (see annexed engraving). The perfect command over the cutting part of the hoe, which this new expan- sion movement affords the workman, will enable him to avoid any sudden iiTCgularity in the ridge or drill, or in the track of the horse, as readily as he would if hoeing by hand. It is furnished with a small Norwegian harrow behind, for the purpose of throwing to the surface the weeds removed by the hoes; but it may be used with or without this, as may be required. Hill's Expanding Horse-hoe. An iron field-gate and posts. It is made entirely of wrought iron; the hangings are made to slide over the top of a hanging-post, resting upon a collar (as repre- sented by the annexed woodcut), which renders it diffi- cult for any one to unhang the gate. It is furnished with Hill's Wrought-iron Gates and Posts. catch complete. The posts, when well set in stiff soil, are quite sufficient to carry the gate, the bases of them being specially constructed to accomplish this, and there- fore no brickwork or concrete is required for this pur- pose. It is cheaper and neater in appearance than wooden gate and posts, besides being so much more durable; and it can be fixed in one fourth the time. A wrought-iron entrance or field-gate and posts. This gate is so constructed as to combine great strength and neatness of appearance with a lightness of material, which admit of its being sold at a low price. It is hung on neat round cast-iron posts, and is fitted with a revolving or quadrant hinge, so that the gate will always shut itself. The dimensions are about 9 feet 6 inches by 4 feet high. Two specimens of continuous iron fencing. This fencing is well adapted for the enclosing and subdividing of parks, pleasure grounds, common land, and all places where fencing may be required. From its peculiar construction it possesses great advantage over iron hurdles, or other kinds of fencing, as regards economy, strength, lightness of appearance, and general efficiency; it packs up into bundles for the convenience of carriage, and is conveyed across the countiy at a trifling expense. The facility with which it can be erected, and adapted to any irregu- larity in the surface of the ground, and its cheapness, are two of its greatest advantages. Two specimens of wrought-iron hurdles. These are intended for feeding sheep on tui'nips, or for eating off green crops. Annexed is a woodcut, representing the form of the hurdle when placed for use, from which it On the South Side : Areas N. 0. 1; P. Q. R. 1 to 27. will be seen that the bars are vertitieal, and placed so far apart as to allow the sheep to eat through them without treading on the food, like eating through a rack. This is considered a great advantage in eating off turnips or other green crops, as it enables the farmer to have them eaten without any of the food being spoiled by the tread- ing of the sheep; it is consequently eaten much closer, and with greater advantage to the sheep; and the ground is more regularly trodden and manured. It does not require setting in the ground, but on it, resting upon stays in a leaning position, as represented in the cut, so that they are easily placed and removed. These stays are fixed to the hurdle, and when taken up fall to its side, so as to occupy little room. ^ 6 F E ET seed boxes for each row, which are fixed to a horizontal bar, and may be shifted to suit the varied intervals be- tween the rows, so as to come directly under the deli- vering spouts, and allow them to v^ork freely. These small boxes are partitioned off into two departments, one larger than the other, that when drilling beet and turnip seeds together, sufficient of each to last an equal time may be put into the boxes at once. This drill is also adapted for side hills, like No. 1, and is shown in the annexed cut. 141 Lydes, —, Inventor. Improved mode of boxing horses for conveying them by railway. 142 Garrett & Son, Leiston Works, Saxmundham, Suffolk—Inventors and Manufacturers. 1. Drill for seeding and manuring land. All kinds of grain and seeds may be deposited by this machine at any required intervals apart, and at any depth, either with or without compost or artificial manures. They are con- structed of various sizes and widths, to suit lands ploughed on the flat or in ridges, and suited for all de- scriptions of soil. The corn or seeds may be deposited down the same conductors with the manure if required; but separate coulters are provided for each, by means of which the manure may be buried 2 or 3 inches deeper than the seed, and 10 to 12 inches in advance of it, and a portion of mould placed between them. The jointed levers are especially adapted for this purpose, the coulters for seed acting independently of those for manure, and being pressed into the ground by separate weights, allow both seed and manure to be deposited regularly any depth, on all descriptions of land, however hilly or uneven. The improvements claimed consist, first—in constructing the boxes in which the manure and seed are contained, so as to be equally suitable for drilling on side hills as on level ground. Secondly—in the application of separate slides to each department of the manure box. Thirdly—in fixing the slides which regulate the seed to a horizontal bar, extending the width of the drill. This machine is represented in the annexed cut. Garretl and Son's Seeding Drill. 2. Drill for turnips and manure on the flat. This drill is made to deposit two, three, or four rows of turnips or other seeds with compost, or artificial fertilisers, on either flat or ridged ploughed lands. It is fitted with separate Garrett and Son's Turnip Drill. 3. A lever corn and seed drill. This drill is for the purpose of drilling in rows, at any distance apart, wheat, barley, beans, peas, oats, and other grain, and by chang- ing the cup barrel, turnips or mangold-wurzel seeds with- out manure. It is fitted with a swing steerage, that when drilling lands or ridges of twice the width of the drill, the two rows where the drill joins on the top, may be kept equidistant with the rest. 4. Drill for small farms—adapted for drilling all kinds of grain, turnips, and other seeds: the quantities may be regulated by means of cog wheels, to deposit from 2 to 12 pecks of grain, or from 1 to 6 lbs. of seed per acre. The distance of the rows apart may be varied as required, from 6 inches upwards, to suit different crops; and the whole arrangement of the working parts is completely within the management of the attendant. The drill is especially made for lands ploughed on the flat, and to the draught of one horse. 5. Barrow hand seed-drill, for sowing grass seeds broad- cast. The box is made in two departments, one for heavy seeds, such as clover, trefoil, &c.; the other for lighter seeds, such as rye grass: the former being deli- vered from cups, and the latter by means of revolving brushes, down the same conductors with it. 6. Hand lever seed-drill, for sowing turnips and other seeds, on ridge or flat ploughed lands, without manure. It is constructed with two small levers, working inde- pendently of each other, which may be varied in distance from 16 to 30 inches apai% and will deposit from 2 to 6 pints of turnip, and 2 to 6 lbs. of beet seed per acre. 7. Garrett's patent horse-hoe—adapted to all the pre- vailing methods of drill culture, either for cleansing crops drilled on the level surface, or on ridges, the axle- trees of the wheels being moveable at both ends to suit the varied intervals between the rows of plants. The steerage is considered an improvement on account of its precision in guiding the hoes without injury to the corn or plants. From 10 to 15 acres per day may be hoed with one horse, and a man and boy. Repi-esented in the following cut. 8. Bolting thrashing-machine, for thrashing grain of all descriptions, without injury to the same, or bruising the straw, like the flail. It is fed lengthways instead of vertically, as in other machines; and the straw is deli- vered on to a lattice platform, ready to be tied up in trusses or bolts for sale, or other particular pixrposes.

Patent thrashing machine for barn work; adapted for thrashing all kinds of grain without damaging the corn or straw, thrashing from 60 to 70 bushels of wheat per hour when applied to steam power. 10. Patent thrashing machine, with registered straw shaker and riddle. This machine is adapted for thrash- ing grain of all descriptions in large quantities, and may- be applied to steam, water, or horse power; it is fitted with a screen for the purpose of riddling away all loose ears, short straws, rubbish, leaf, and calder, leaving the corn ready for the dressing machine, without further prepara- tion ; and with a registered straw shaker, for sepaiuting the corn from the straw, which is by this means done much more efiPectuaJly than by the usual process by hand. Barley may also be thrashed for malting purposes with these machines, and in many cases is preferred by malt- sters to that thrashed by hand. The whole of the machine may be mounted on travelling wheels and conveyed from place to place with tAvo horses. This machine is represented in the annexed cut. ^rarrett and Son's Patent Thrashing Machine. 11. Horse-power driving machinery for thrashing ma- chines.

This machine is fitted for horse or steam power, but may be used by hand if required. It is for the purpose of rub- bing the horns or avels off barley (which it performs in an expeditious manner), and screening away all loose rubbish from the corn, leaving the kernels clean and the sample perfect. 14. A corn-dressing machine, worked by steam, horse, or hand power. It is particularly suited for receiving the corn from the thrashing machine. No. 10, which it will di-ess in one operation at the rate of 12 to 15 quar- ters per hour. 15. Patent chaff-cutter, adapted for horse or steam power. It may be altered by means of toothed wheels to On the South Side : Areas N. 0. 1; P. Q. P. 1 to 27. cut chaff I, -5, or f inch long. The rollers are so con - structed as to adjust themselves to any thickness of feed, and act independently of the mouthpiece or pressure- plate, so as always to keep a uniform pressure on the hay or straw, and prevent the machine from choking, 16, Portable stone mill for grinding wheat and other farm produce: the stones are 32 inches diameter, and en- closed in a metal and wood framing; the top stone is hung on an upright shaft, and worked by a pair of bevel wheels, from which the attachment may be made to either steam, water, or horse power: its construction admits of the stones being adjusted for grinding wheat, barley, beans, and peas. A late improvement consists in the application of a clutch box to the small feed roller, which affords great facility in starting the machine, by allowing this roller to be taken out of work, and admits of the process of crushing being instantly discontinued without stopping the mill. 17, A linseed, malt, and oat mill, fitted in an iron frame, and is for the purposes above mentioned ; the crushing being performed between the smooth surface of a large wheel, 4 feet diameter, and a small smooth roller, 18, A rape and linseed cake crusher, for the purpose of breaking cakes of any size and thickness. It is fitted with two sets of barrels which may be adjusted, as required, to break cake into different-sized pieces for bul- locks or sheep, or powder for manure: a screen is fixed between these barrels, through which as much of the cake as is sufficiently broken in passing through the first is sifted, to insure uniformity of size, and to avoid the unnecessary labour occasioned by that which is sufficiently broken passing through the bottom rollers with that which is not. 19, Iron plough for general purposes, made with •wrought-iron beam and handles, and cast-iron body, and may be adapted for all descriptions of soil, by having suitable mould-boards or breasts. It is fitted with im- proved coulter and fastening, and case-hardened shares. 20, Hand-power chaff-cutter, for small occupations, to be worked by one or two boys or men. It is made with a 12-inch box and 10-inch mouthpiece, and will cut 80 to 40 bushels an hour, 21, Corn-dressing machine, intended for all kinds of grain and seeds, and is adapted for hand labour : a man and a boy will dress from 6 to 8 quarters of wheat per hour, depending on its quality and condition. This machine may also be used as a blower when required, for sepa- rating all light kernels, dirt, ice, from the corn, 22, Corn-reaping machine, of new construction, adapted for reaj)ing wheat and other grain by horse power: the operation is performed by a series of angular knives, in- tei'secting a like series of stationary iron tines or points : a vibrating horizontal motion is communicated to these knives by means of a crank shaft, and as the corn is driven by the motion of the machine between the tines, it is cut with cleanness and regularity. As much as 20 acres per day may be reaped with one horse and a man. 2.3. Models of agricultural machinery. Specimens of coprolite and grass seeds. 24, Set of iron harrows.

Model of reaping machine for cutting corn with revolv- ing knives. The knives being attached to two separate sets of arms, which revolve on different centres, are kept parallel to each otlier, in consequence of which their action closely resembles that of the scythe of the mower. The angle at which the knives strike or cut the corn is at the command of the attendant. The knives cut at the side of the machine, the motion being reversed to make them cut either to the right or to the left. 146 Ponder, William Richard, Giiillilimi<|lnilll|iiiil|!|Hil|i|{lliiil|ll|l||||ll'llll „■ lilinii' """Illlllliir, ''"Illllll Ill'lllllll'' .:,llllllllll!ll.'JllllHilll, Black Marble Timepiece, by Adams 16 Imitation oak timepiece represented in the following engraving.

The adjoining cut represents one of the chronometers. Delolme's Chronometer. North, North Central, and South Central Gtalleries, Specimen of the movements of the preceding, as made in Lancashire to the exhibitor's calibre. Two specimens of watch movements, to the exhibitor's calibre. Stethometer, to measure the comparative mobility of the chest in cases of disease of the lungs. [The effect of most diseases of the lungs is to diminish the extent of the motion of the walls of the chest. It becomes consequently often of considerable importance to ascertain the amount of variation from health in this respect, since this points out, with approximative accu- racy, the extent of the disease. The diminished mobility of one side as compared with its opposite thus affords important results. The instrument which reveals the fact is of very simple principles, and was originally in- vented by Dr. Sibson, F.R.S. It consists essentially of a dial plate with a moveable index, which is acted upon by the pressure of the walls of the chest against a projecting stud. The extent of the circle described by the index points out the amount of motion possessed by the walls of the chest in the side to which it is applied. In the present instance a tape is placed upon the chest at one end, and is in connexion with the index of the instru- ment at the other. Both ends being fixed by gentle pressure, the degree of expansion of the chest is easily read off by the extent of the motion of the index on the dial-plate.—R. E.] 20 Newington, S., Hastings—Inventor. Patent clock, or regulator. A common clock with spring and balance-wheel; having the hands and dial-plate removed, and a dial substituted, which revolves in the same way as an hour-hand. This clock is placed in a flat round box, and is arranged to show whether a person has been at a particular spot at any required time. 21 GiBBS, H., 2 Nelson Street, City Road—M.dk.ev. Watch, showing double time, with improved stop-work. 22 Philcox, George, 89, Great Norfolk Street, Borough— Inventor and Patentee. Patent marine time-keeper. This time-keeper is in- tended to give correct time in taking observations, where a chronometer is not at hand, or as a companion to a chronometer. It is adapted for use in locomotive railway engines, to show the engineer the rate of his speed, being the only species of escapement not affected by the motion or tremor of a railway carriage. The construction of the calibre for the train is a going barrel. The advantage is getting the motive power close to the centre, and by an extra wheel in the train taking the escapement further from the centre, the defects or irregularities of the main spring have less effect on the time, consequently the action, or the arcs of vibration, are more regular, and the time more correct. This train is well adapted for chro- nometers and watches. The timepiece should be wound up every day, though constructed to go two days. The escapement beats dead half seconds. Model of the patent " diamond escapement," as in- tended for the use of marine chronometers. It is much less expensive than the detent escapement now in use; it is not affected, as that is, by the sudden motion and tremor of the vessel, and is not so liable to stop in cold climates. The locking is intended to be jewelled. This compensating balance differs from others, having the arms resting on the brass plate. A model of a new compensating pendulum. This pen- dulum is adapted for astronomical and other purposes requiring correct time, showing how to correct the error caused by the expansion and contraction of the pen- dulum rod. The two brass arms, fixed at each end of a bar of hammered steel, will, as they become heated, ex- pand, and increase the arc of the circle,^ thus taking up the elongation of the steel rods. The brass expanding about two-thirds more than the steel, will show the pro- portions required; and should the expansion of the arms be found moi-e than required for the steel rod, an adjust- ment of the two screws will correct the error, and, once adjusted, will always correct itself. This compensating pendulum is more simple and correct than mercurial and other pendulums. Patent " double spring." This new principle possesses many important advantages: it eradicates an error now existing in the chronometer spring in present use. With the patent spring the balance of the chronometer will at all temperatures remain in the same position unaffected by heat, and at the extremes of temperature make one uniform rate (the patentee in this instance uses the com- pensating balance), thus removing the great effect pro- duced on the old principle. 23 Chevalier, Benjamin, 41 Brunswick Street, Stamford Street—Manufacturer.

Street—Inventor and Manufacturer. An eight-day time-piece (regulator), to go by a weight, in a mahogany case, with a compensating pendulimi. This pendulmn has a brass ball, seven inches diameter, and three-quarters of an inch thick, on the face of w^hich is screwed a brass rim, a quarter of an inch thick and one inch broad; on the inside of this is a steel rim, secured to the brass, one-eighth of an inch thick. The outer dia- meter of this rim, composed of brass and steel, is also seven inches. This rim is divided or separated at the bottom of the ball, leaving two arms of equal length ; at the end of each is screwed a brass cup, to admit glasses of a conical shape containing mercury, about 4^ inches high, the lower diameter being about 1| inch, and the upper about the half. The adjustments for variations in temperature are made by the compensation rim with mercury in the glasses. The escapement of the clock is of George Graham's construction, dead-beat, but the pallets are jewelled. The vibration is made as short as possible. A silver lever watch, with compensation radii, composed of brass and steel united. The proportions are about 1 of steel and 2 of brass. The bar is screwed on to the upper plate at one end, and at the other end a hole is di'illed, to admit the pendulum or regulating spring, where it is pirmed in. A silver lever watch, with compensation radii, com- posed of brass and steel, fixed on the index on the cock, the two shifting together, and acting up and down the spring as the regulator is shifted. In the outer end of this radii compensation, are drilled two holes for the pins, between which the pendulum spring plays. Model of a mahogany door, with machinery. In the posts of the inside of the door are fixed two staples. An iron chain, case-hardened, rather longer than two widths of the door, is drawn through the staples, and when on the outside, the chain is pulled, so as just to admit the hand to secm-e a padlock into the links of the double chain. The chain is then di'awn, with the padlock, out of sight. The lock catch must also be case-hardened. 40 Brockbank & Atkins, 6 Coicper's Court, Comhill— Inventors.

The article exhibited is the original invention. 49 Bennett, George Weedon, Blackheath, ICent— Manufacturer. A public clock, showing time on four dials, and intended to be fixed in an ornamental case at the inter- sections of streets, or the approaches to bridges, entrances to parks, village greens, the quadrangles of baronial halls, in collages or other public places, in order to supply cor- rect time, independently of church clocks (which are, from their lofty and exposed position, almost always wrong), and to serve as useful ornaments in the streets. It has a two-seconds' pendulum, pin-wheel escapement, lantern pinions, gun-metal wheels, and slate dials; and the whole is constructed with every regard to accuracy of performance. Two designs for cases accompany it; but these would necessarily be adapted to the locality and taste of the purchaser. 52 Donegan, John, Upper Ormond Quay, Dublin— Manufacturer. Gold and silver watches, of Dublin manufacture. Specimens of Irish gold and silver, from Ballycorus works. 52a Aubert & Klaftenberger, 157 Regent Street •—Manufacturers. Regulator remontoir, and of continual power. The movement consists of two barrels, centre, third, fourth, and escapement wheels: the axis of the fourth wheel traverses the upper plate, and receives a wheel which is fixed on the axis of the pinion above, the object of which is to wind up the weight of the maintaining power; this movement maintains the oscillation of the half-second pendulum. The escapement wheel, and the second wheel exposed in the dial, form part of the independent train, which has to maintain the oscillation of the mercurial pendulum. The principal and medial trains are brought into com- munication by means of the third wheel, seen in the dial: this wheel is fixed in the centre of a rack mounted on an axle, which is pivoted between the frame; a wheel here forms a depth into the rack, and upon the axle on which this wheel is placed, is fixed a double pulley, on one side of which is suspended a small weight, and on the other the half-second pendulum. The weight and pendulum draw contrary ways, and as the weight is heavier, it gives the power to the independent train. The third wheel of the principal train, which forms the depth with the medial wheel seen in the dial, will dis- place it from right to left; by which means, if the two wheels, having the same number of teeth, turn equally quick, the intermedial wheel will be set in motion, but its axle will not change in position, and consequently the rack, and also the wheel in which the rack works, will be immoveable, and the hand fixed to the axle of the pulley will point to zero. The independent train receiving thus a force constante, and maintaining the oscillation of the mercurial pen- dulum, will not be susceptible of variation. Any differ- ence of quickness in the action of the second wheel upon the medial wheel in the dial, can only be occasioned by the principal train, through the action of the half-second pendulum, which, if not perfectly regulated, will occasion an advance or retarde. If the half-second pendulum should advance, the prin- cipal train will raise the weight of the foixe co7istante, and the half-second pendulum, acting in a contrary sense, will cause it again to fall, and consequently the jDendulum will then retarde. If, on the contrary, the half-second pendulum loses, the principal train will not raise the weight of the force constante sufiiciently quick, and the pendulum will then drop; but the regulator acting in a contrary manner will again shorten it, which will then cause it to advance. Two-day marine chronometer.

The term ''tac" implies that the time is ascertained by turning round the large ex- ternal gold hand until it is stopped. The time is then known by determining the place of the hand with refer- ence to the twelve projecting nibs on the edge of the case by the touch. The interval of time can be thus deter- mined to about a minute. This description of watch supersedes the usual striking repeater, is less liable to derangement, and is less expensive. It is wound up and the hands set without the usual detached key. 2. Similar watch, with hunting-case, and small opening in the centre to know the time without opening the cover. 3. Hunting cased watch, with case springs outside, and to wind up and set the hands without a detached key. For use in India, and may be considered air-tight, by which arrangement frequent cleaning is avoided. 4.

Gentlemen's watches of the usual construc- tion, without compensation-balances. 21. Marine chronometer, with a glass balance-spring, glass balance, and compensated, for temperature, by means of platinum and silver. This glass balance-spring has been tried at the Royal Observatory, and on board H.M. surveying ship, ''Fairy" (for official rates, see ''Nau- tical Magazine," xxix). 22. Patent marine chronometer, having the steel balance- spring, gilded by the electro-metallurgic process. 23. Patent marine chronometer, having a secondary compensation, by which the compensation weights are made to move so as to counteract the effect produced by the changes of temperature. 24. Marine chronometer of the ordinary construction. 25. A compass which can be inverted; the magnetic needles are placed on a vertical axis, and the divisions are engraved on both sides of the silver ring (or compass- card), so that one reading can be made before, and the other after, inversion. The mean between these two readings gives the error of the zero on the card; there- fore the true magnetic bearing of any observed object can be determined. [The ordinary way of fixing the card and needle of a compass is upon an inverted cup resting on a fine point. The application of the chronometer suspension to com- passes, as above, is with the view of avoiding the great friction upon the fine point, caused by great vertical oscillations.—J. G.] 26. An azimuth and altitude compass. The principle is the same as in the former, with the addition of a telescope carrying cross wires, and a divided arc for altitudes; the rays from the observed object pass through the telescope, whilst those from the card, reflected by the prism, pass to the eye of the observer. 27. A steering compass, with the needles gimballed on a vertical axis, by means of which the effect of the violent motions of the ship on the compass-card, and the efiect of variation of dip, are neutralized. The superiority of this over the ordinary compass, in which the point of suspension of the card is higher than the centre of gravity, is most evident in steamers where the speed is great, and where the motion occasioned by the sea, as well as that from the vibration of the engine, disturb the usual com- pass-card, which obeys the laws of a pendulous body; whilst the compass-card placed on a vertical axis is not disturbed from any such causes. 28. An eight-day quarter striking turret clock, with compensated pendulum, 8 feet long, and weighing above 2 cwt.; vibrating half seconds, with pin-wheel, and dead escapement, but with a small recoil. All the wheels in the clock are of cast-iron, except the 'scape-wheel, which is brass, of only 4 inches diameter, containing 40 pins, and turning in 2 minutes. The 'scape-wheel is driven by a small spiral spring fixed to a pinion, which turns on a stud set in the same line as the 'scape-wheel arbor, and carrying one of the pivot-holes of that arbor. This spring is wound up a quarter of a turn by the clock, at every quarter of a turn of the 'scape-wheel. The dial-work is all driven by the great wheel, without the intervention of any pinion, and it is consequently very strong, and capable of working four very large dials. The dials in the great avenue of the Exhibition are 7 feet in diameter. The hands are adjustable by means of hand-screws, and a small regulating-dial set on the clock; this dial is reversed, in order to provide for the case of the external dial being on a level with the clock, and the hands driven directly by the prolonged arbor of the regulating-dial. The hands are counterpoised outside the dials; because, when the counterpoises are within, the force of the wind on the hands is not counterpoised at all ; and the weight of a large hand, when unbalanced, tends to loosen the hand on its arbor, and so make it point behind the true time from 6 to 12, and before it from 12 to 6. The maintaining power for keeping the clock going while winding, is of a new construction. Before winding, the maintaining weight must be raised sufficiently high to keep the clock going about seven minutes, and when wound up, it can be thrown out of action immediately. All the great wheels are set in the great frame, and the small triangular frames can be taken off" without moving the great wheels and barrel, or the pendulums, which may also be suspended from the wall. The smaller wheels will also take out separately. The weights are hung by wire ropes, and they require a fall of about 40 feet, with a single pulley. The pulleys are 1 foot in diameter. The hammers are raised by cams cast on the great wheels, of such a shape as to raise them with the least friction. They are strong enough for an hour-bell of several tons weight, and quarters to correspond, though the great wheels are only 18 inches in diameter. The hammers all stand ready to fall as soon as they are dis- charged by the going part. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters begin exactly at those quarters; the 4th begins half a minute before the hour, and the hour-hammer falls exactly at the hour. The object aimed at in this clock, is to combine the greatest accuracy of time-keeping with great strength, and the cheapest mode of construction which is consistent with good work. 29. A patent dipleidoscope, to be used as a fixed meri- dian instrument. The optical arrangement consists in two silvered parallel reflecting glasses placed at an angle of about 60° behind the front glass. The image of the sun is reflected from the front glass, and the sun's rays North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. which pass through, impinge first on one plane, and are reflected to the other, they then pass out through the front glass. By this optical arrangement, two suns are visible to the eye of the observer moving in opposite directions, and when they coincide, it is the instant of apparent noon. The time can be ascertained by this instrument with considerable precision. The dipleido- scope allows of three observations of the sun : 1st, when the limbs touch; 2nd, when the images coincide ; and 3rd, when the limbs separate. [The dipleidoscope was invented, a few years since, by G. M. Bloxem, Esq., and, when accurately fixed, the time of apparent noon can be determined by it within one or two seconds. Two bright and sharp images of the sun are seen, which approach each other, and exactly coincide at apparent noon.—J. G.] 30. A dipleidoscope fitted up equatorially, which admits of observations being taken from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and is rendered portable by having a magnetic needle. When the instrument is set by the needle, the magnetic declina- tion of the place requires to be allowed for. 31. A superior astronomical clock, with a remontoire dead-beat escapement, invented by G. B. Airy, Esq., Astronomer Eoyal (see paper in **Koyal Astronomical Society's Monthly Notices," Nov. 11, 1842, by Mr. Airy.) A large church clock. (^Main Avenue.') 56 Druey, James, 16 North Avenue, North Street, Pentonville—Designer and Manufacturer. Clock dial-case in brass, adapted for clocks in hot cli- mates, at sea, and in bakers' shops, as they are not af- fected by steam and heat. 57 Fbodsham, Charles, 84 A^iranc?—Chronometer Maker. 1. Astronomical clock, with mercurial pendulum, and Graham's dead-beat escapement. [Mercurial pendulums, and Graham's dead-beat escape- ment, are now used in nearly all astronomical clocks. The number of such clocks now in London exceeds 200; about 60 of these, chiefly the property of eminent chro- nometer makers, are rated on Greenwich mean time, and it is found that their performance is such as to adapt them for astronomical uses. They certainly reflect gi-eat credit on the various artists engaged in the science of horology. The mercurial pendulum is so called from the circum- stance of the bob being of mercury enclosed in a cylinder, screwed to the bottom of a steel rod. Gridiron pendulums were in use before mercurial pendulums were adopted: they consisted of an assemblage of brass and steel rods so arranged that, owing to 'the difference in the expansion of brass and steel, the brass rods carried the bob up, while the steel ones let it down. The shape of pendulum bobs is important. Until lately they were of the form of a double convex lens, this form offering but little resistance on passing through the air, when its edge was always in the plane of motion; but, as it was liable to be a little twisted, a varying resistance was offered; and which is not the case in the adoption of the form of the cylinder, which probably is the best shape for the bob. It is usual to call those clocks astronomical which are used in observatories for determining the right ascension of the heavenly bodies, and they are such, including every appendage which contributes to accuracy in the measurement of time under all the changes of atmospheric temperature.-—J. G.] 2. Marine chronometers, on anew calibre, with Arnold and Earnshaw's detached escapement; the compensation balance is of the ordinary kind, with Arnold's bar as auxiliary compensation. This new calibre is based upon the plan of the diameter of barrel, fuzee-wheel, and extreme diameter of the balance being the same, namely, one inch and five-tenths. The total weight of the compensation balance is 5 dwts., being as the contents of the barrel. Thus if a barrel, one inch in diameter, by three-tenths of an inch in depth, will carry a balance weighing 20 grains, a barrel of the same diameter, and of double the depth, will carry a balance weighing 40 grains. The balance-spring is 15 inches long ; the diameter the thickness of wire ^ by broad, and the number of turns 10 to 12. The wheels (escape-wheel included) are each five times the diameter of their re- spective pinions—that is, the pinion upon which the Frodsham's new Calibre for Watchfes. North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. wheel revolves. The fuzee-wheel has 90 teeth, centre wheel 90, centre pinion 14, third wheel 80, third pinion 12, fourth wheel 80, fourth pinion 10, and 'scape pinion 10, scape wheel 15. 3. Specimens of gold pocket chronometers and lever watches, reduced from the calibre of the chronometer ; with improvements in the form of the teeth of wheels and pinions, in the balance-springs, and in the mode of attaching the spring. 4. The double rotatory escapement. This is a specimen of a new calibre movement, by which a powerful watch may be made in a flat case; a method which might have been adopted at the period when flat watches were first introduced, as it has all the advantages of a thick watch, by taking the contents of the barrel in diameter and depth as the basis of power. 5. Day-of-the-month watch, with lever escapement and double rollers. The calibre of this watch may be called more simple than the preceding one, only because it more closely resembles that which is daily made. The number of the teeth of the wheels is peculiar. The centre-wheel is much enlarged, with 100 teeth working in a pinion of 10, whilst the third wheel is diminished, which has 60 teeth working in a pinion of 10; the fourth wheel 63 teeth in a pinion of 7. Although this is a good working calibre for a superior watch, yet if power is admitted to be a principle in watch-making, it is impossible to get the same depth of barrel in this watch, unless the calibre of No. 1 is used. In producing the foregoing calibres, all technical sizes have been rejected, and the common measurement of inches, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths adopted; so that from one calibre, a watch of any size may be made by proportion. 6. Specimen of gold lever watches, with the split- centre seconds-hand movement. This watch, being a complete time-keeper, is capable of determining the pre- cise time of any observation to a quarter of a second, by means of an extra seconds hand, with which it is pro- vided, and which in the ordinary state of the watch lies under the principal seconds hand, and travels with it. In taking an observation, the observer keeps his eye steadily fixed upon the object, and his finger in readiness to touch a spring, which allows the registering hand to fall simultaneously upon the face of the watch, where it may be allowed to remain upwards of 40 seconds for read- ing ofl^ the time; this being done, the finger is to be im- mediately removed in order to free the register, which instantly returns to its place ready for the next obser- vation, without having in the least degree interfered with the correct performance of the watch^ 7.

The cut in the preceding page represents this new calibre. 16. Five stages of the process of manufacture in the com- pensation balance. 17. Auxiliary compensation for the adjustments of the extremes of temperature. [Power being an indispensable element in time-keeping, it is of the utmost importance that the motive force should be transmitted with a constant velocity-ratio from wheel to pinion throughout the train, without its being absorbed by the increased friction and wear consequent upon im- proper curves. The correct forms of curve were described, a century ago, by Camus, and recently in a work on the Principles of Mechanism, by Professor Willis, of Cambridge, 8vo, London, 1841. In watch-work, the wheel is the driver, and the ad- dendum to the tooth beyond the pitch-line is of the epi- cyeloidal form, which, to the general eye, may be familiarly explained as resembling a Gothic arch, or a bishop's mitre. The pinion is the follower, and has the two flanks of its leaf formed by radial lines direct to the centre ; and the addendum upon the pitch-line is a semi- circle whose diameter is the breadth of the leaf. The specimen will explain the rest. The new calibre by the exhibitor is shown as a general improvement in chronometers and watches,] Fig. 2. 60 Hall, George Frederick, Norfolk St., Fitzroy Square—Inventor. An astronomical and meteorological clock, for mean time, and for registering the hourly variations of the barometer and thermo- meter. The escapement of the clock is a new vertical dead-beat escapement; the pen- dulum has a new micrometrical compensa- tion adjustment for temperature, intended for the self-registration of natural pheno- mena. _ Fig. 1 is a plan of the escapement, half- size. A is a vertical wheel of seven teeth, which move in a horizontal plane. B is a concentric circle, with two ruby pins moving in a vertical plane: if the pins are circular or chamfered, the action is dead during the coincidence of the two planes; but as the pins vibrate, the top of the teeth strike, and escape, and slide, under the circular or chamfered surface of the ruby pins, and give the necessary impulse to the pen- dulum. Fig. 2 is the pendulum with the micro- metrical adjustment for temperature, which is effected by a compound rod of brass and zinc, in the proportion of 20 brass and 10 zinc, joined just above the bob; a zinc screw is soldered into the top of the brass tube, and a steel screw into the zinc cy- linder, both of the same pitch. The length of compensating rod is first obtained by calculation; then, if the pendulum is com- pensated plus, the rod is turned to the right, which shortens the zinc screw, and increases the steel; the difference between the expansion of zinc and steel is the amount rendered minus in the compensa- tion. If the pendulum is compensated minus, the rod is turned to the left, which increases the zinc, and shortens the steel; the difference of expansion is the quantity rendered plus. The pendulum is made of two glass tubes expanding downwards, and the com- pound compensating rod expanding upwards; the bob being placed upon studs fastened to the inner glass tube, and passing through the outer. The black line in the drawing is the compensating rod. Fig. 3 is the elevation of the clock one-eighth real size, with the dial-plate removed, showing the meteorological registering apparatus. A a are two revolving cylinders North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. Fig. 3. Hall's Astronomical and Meteorological Clock. fastened to the arbors of the first wheels of the train, and which revolve (upon the average) once in three hours. B b are the escape wheels of the train, of the same kind as the clock (the vertical dead beat), of 25 teeth, c is the going barrel to impel the two independent trains. D is the thermometer and barometer. E is the rod to which is fixed the marking apparatus in con- nexion with the revolving cylinders A a. F is the escape hour-wheel of 24 pins, with a barrel to receive the chain of the rod E. G is a wheel with a logarithmic spiral, the groove of which receives the pin of the bar H. I is the clock-frame. The action of this entirely new invention is as follows:—D d, the thermometer and baro- meter, are made to vibrate continually by the escape- ment B b, as inverted pendulums; the radii of the gyrations of which are continually affected, either by the pressure of the atmosphere, or by the change of tempera- ture : thus d, the Torricellian barometer, will, if the mercury fall one inch, increase the number of its vibra- tions per hour by 1,000, every one of which is regis- tered on the revolving cylinder A, which gives a line in length equal to the number of vibrations given by the barometer d per hour; a similar effect is produced by the thermometer D, by any change of temperature, and its variation registered on A. The hourly measure is marked by breaking the lines, which is effected by the escape of the wheel F, and the descent of the rod E, with its attached apparatus.

English hard white enamel watch dial, with sunk centre and seconds, allowing free motion of the hands, with a flatter glass than usual. 64 Jones, John, 338 Strand—Manufacturer. Gold and silver watches of peculiar construction. No. 1. The Rose Watch, showing Time and its doings. On one half of the margin around the back is engraved, on blue enamel, ^'Man cometh forth as a flower, and is cut down." On the surface of the richly engraved gold back is a Maltese cross, in white enamel, and on its four limbs are depicted the four seasons of life—in the bud, blossom, decay, and death of a rose. On the other half of the margin is engraved, ''It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory." The dial represents, in enamel colours, the rose window of Westminster Abbey. On the twelve compartments indicating the twelve hours, are the names of the twelve Apostles. On the bezil that holds the glass is engraved, in blue enamel, *'He that taketh not his cross daily is not worthy of me." No. 2 shows, when viewed through a magnifying power, a series of cubical crystals, that being the primary crystal of gold. No. 3 is a new and simpler mode than hitherto em- ployed of producing dead seconds, with sunk centre in the dial, also a novelty.

Clock-movement, with a dead escapement of a new con- struction, in which the escape-wheel consists merely of a small disc, with a single pin in it. The parts are arranged for the purpose of exhibiting the action of the escapement. The advantages claimed are—the impulse takes place at the middle of the vibration of the pendulum, as in the common dead escapement; it is given chiefly by direct action instead of oblique, and requires little oil; the con- struction is easy, and may be made with a ruby for the escape-pin as cheaply as with a common recoil escapement. It is applicable to watches as well as clocks. (E. J. Dent, Manufacturer and Patentee, byassignment.) 69 Mapple, D.

Towards the bottom end is a small cylinder, slightly flattened at its lower part, containing a small spoon of about two-thirds of an inch of elevation on its upper part, the opening of which is slightly oblique, of an oval form. This tube, including the spoon, is about two inches long by about half an inch in diameter. The other extremity of the body of the pump is furnished with a piston, which, on being drawn back, empties the pump. This piston, being entirely drawn out to its full length, and pressed by the thumb, releases an interior spring in which the lancets are fixed, and these pierce the skin raised by its suction. The operation is not painful, as the lancets do not remain an instant in the wound. 95a Briscall, James, 48 Constitution Hill, Birmingham —Designer and Manufacturer, Self-correcting clock, with a detached lever escapement; it goes a month; and shows the day of the week and month.

Patent electro-magnetic striking clock. From the pendulum of this clock, a number of dials may be worked. The greatest novelty consists in the method of giving the impulse by means of a remontoir escapement, by which the variations of the battery take no effect on the time measured. The novelty of the Large Clock in the Transept of the Exhibition Building, in connexion with the former, is in the method of locking the escape wheel, to prevent the train from running by the action of the wind on the hands. Two dials, five feet in diameter each. A skeleton electro-magnetic striking clock, showing how the number of blows to be struck is regulated. Small turret bell, illustrating the method of applying electro-magnetism to move the hammer. The power employed for keeping in continual action the electric clock, is one of Smee's batteries in con- nexion with a powerful horse-shoe magnet. In the case of the mechanism of the great clock now under con- sideration, a series of such magnets is used, the con- nexion of which, with their armature, is shown in fig. 1. Fig. 1. These are smTounded by 25,000 feet, or nearly five miles of No. 18 copper wire, the total weight of which is about 160 lbs. As weights are entirely dispensed with, the frame containing the wheel-work is much lighter than usual; the escape-wheel, a, a, fig. 2, is 10 inches in diameter, and is in two parts, the teeth of each being reversed; the click and ratchet escapement, which is moved by the electro-magnets, acts on the teeth of one of the parts, 2 H 2 North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. while the teeth of the other part are used for the purpose of locking the train, in order to prevent it running forward from the action of the wind on the extra-sized hands which present a large surface. A central vertical wheel, h, of larger diameter (see fig. 2 end fig. 3,), which works into a pinion, c, on the arbor of the escape-wheel, gives motion to the wheel-work in connexion with the hands, which are at a height of 40 feet above the pedestal in the South Gallery of the Transept on which the machinery is placed, the communication being effected by a 12-inch bevelled wheel, d, which rotates on the end of the spindle of the great wheel, and works into a horizontal bevelled wheel, e, with which a vertical shaft, /, made of brass tubes of Ij inch diameter, and Fig. 3. hand side of the semicircle; while on the left side the figure VI. is repeated, and the remaining figures up to XI. inclusive follow in the usual order. In order to render the new form of dial perfectly useful, it was necessary to have two minute hands, and also two hour hands; so that when one of the minute hands, for instance, leaves the figure VI. on the right hand, the other minute hand also points to the corresponding VI. on the left hand. The two minute hands together are 16 feet, and the two hour hands 12 feet in length respectively. Two smaller dials, each of five feet diameter, are fixed up inside the Fig. 4. screwed together in several lengths, revolves, and which, in connexion with wheel-work at top, gives motion to the hands. In order that the clock-face might harmonize with the design of the south elevation of the Transept, it was considered that the conventional form of a circle for the dial might be dispensed with; the figures were accordingly arranged in a semicircle, and placed at the intersections of the radial bars with the second semi- ring from the centre of the great fanlight.—(See fig. 4.) As is the case in ordinary dials, so in the present in- stance, XII. is at the top, I. to VI. following on the right Shepherd's Patent Electro-Magnetic Clock. North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. building; one in front of the cross gallery at the east end of the central aisle, and the other in front of the south gallery of the transept. All the dials are regu- lated by one pendulum, represented in fig. 5, Fig. 5. is suspended from a triangular frame, g, resting on a bed-plate, to which it is secured by screw-bolts in the ordinary way. The pendulum has a mercurial com- pensation for heat and cold, and is kept in motion by electro-magnetism by a method entirely different to any previously invented. Instead of applying directly the attractive and repulsive forces of electro-magnetism to the pendulum, according to all the previous methods, the power of an electro-magnet is here employed to bend a spring to a certain fixed extent, the reaction of which gives the necessary impulse to the pendulum, by which means the variations which are continually taking place in the batteries have no effect on the time measured. The arrangement of the spring for giving the impulse is represented at s (fig. 5), in which b is the impulse spring, consisting of a short steel spring, to which are attached two arms, c and d, at right angles to each other; e is the detent, or catch, for holding this spring when bent by the action of the magnet; / is the pendu- lum-rod carrying the two screws, h and i, which may be called the impulse and discharging pallets. As the pen- dulum vibrates to the left, the discharging-pallet pressing against the perpendicular arm of the detent, e, forces it into the position indicated by the curved lines; the impulse spring is thus liberated and immediately falls against the impulse pallet h. As the pendulum returns to the right, the impulse spring by its elasticity urges the pendulum forward with the exact power required to con- tinue its vibration. The spring is limited in its motion by a screw, o, by screwing or imscrewing which the length of the stroke of the spring, and consequently the power may be regulated to the greatest nicety. The pendulum, continuing its motion to the right, comes in contact with a slight spring tipped with platina, which completes the circuit of the galvanic battery through the coils of the electro-magnet, which is placed immediately underneath the bed-plate in an inverted position, the poles of which pass through the bed-plate. An armature, k, con- sisting of a flat bar of iron, is placed immediately above the poles, being attached to a horizontal arm at right angles thereto, which arm moves freely on an axis x, pro- perly supported at either end on a bracket. On the opposite side of the axis is another arm also projecting at right angles, but considerably longer than the first. The use of the second arm, in connexion with an adjust- able weight, is to raise the armature from the poles of the magnet. When, therefore, a current of electricity is made to pass through the coils of wire which surround the magnet, the armature is attracted towards the poles, and consequently the long arm with the adjustable weight is elevated in the opposite direction. It is evident that this arm cannot be raised without lifting the arm, d, of the impulse spring, h, bending the impulse spring, and locking the upper end of the arm, c, on the detent, ready for the next impulse. [A point of importance in the construction of this clock is the method of making and breaking contact for the electric currents. When the circuit is broken, a spark is seen to pass between the points of contact. The continued action of this spark causes the points be. tween which it passes to become oxidised ; and as the metallic oxides are non-conductors of electricity, it fol- lows that the passage of the electricity will be thereby interfered with and prevented. In the first clock constructed, a piece of steel-wire was used as a break spring, touching against the side of the pendulum-rod ; but the points of contact oxidised so rapidly, that the clock would not go for more than a few days without stopping. The steel spring was then re- moved, and one of gold substituted, and a small plate of gold was soldered to the side of the pendulum-rod. The difficulty appeared to have been entirely overcome ; but in six weeks the quantity of electricity passing was considerably reduced, and at the end of two months the clock stopped. Platina was next tried, in the same manner as the gold, in a new clock, completed in 1848, since which time the points of contact have never required cleaning, the cir- cuits being completed at the present time with as much certainty as when the clock was first put together. Thesa points of contact present some peculiarities when exa- mined with a lens. With metals having a great affinity for oxygen, a black spot forms immediately at the point of contact ; while in the case of platina the immediate point of contact remains perfectly clean, a rim of black forming around it. This black rim has been found to be quite capable of conducting electricity. The probable conclusion, therefore, is, that the black rim is platina in a very fine state of division, and not an oxide of the metal. The battery best adapted for these clocks is that of Mr. Smee, both on account of its simplicity and the ease with which it is recharged. The amalgamated zinc em- ployed in this battery is subject to rapid local action, by the quantity of impurity which it contains, consisting usually of lead, iron, copper, tin, and cadmium ; all these metals having less affinity for oxygen than zinc, become negative when immersed in dilute acid, and form a voltaic circle with the surrounding particles of zinc. The use of amalgamation is to stop this action, which, when the amalgamation is fresh, it accomplishes ; but in a few days the local action again commences, and in- creases until the acid is neutralised, or the whole of the zinc dissolved. This may be obviated by standing the zino plate loose in the jar, resting on the bottom, and pouring in an ounce or two of mercury. This plan is found to answer remark- ably well; the quicksilver soaking up the zinc plate, keep? it thoroughly amalgamated. The zinc may be melted, and after being mixed with mercury, cast in moulds; the quicksilver would then form one of the impurities pre- sent : and should local action take place at any one point, the solution of the zinc would not only liberate the other metals present, but liberate at the same time sufficient quicksilver to cover them, and stop the local action. It is well known that the zinc of a battery is acted upon more severely at the surface of the liquid than else- where, by which the lower part is wasted. This appears to depend on the presence of oxygen ; for it does not go on, where the battery has been enclosed in a bottle to col- lect the hydrogen evolved. A double advantage results North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. from making the batteries air-tight ; not only is this pe- culiar action stoj)ped, but the evaporation of the water prevented. In batteries required to act for long periods, one zinc plate should be employed, as when two are used, one of them almost always becomes negative to the other; and although this action is very slight, yet when it con- tinues constantly for several months, its effect is very perceptible. This clock, although quite equal to that of St. Paul's Cathedral, occupies far less space ; the heavy weights, with the room necessary for their descent, being of course dispensed with. One of the most obvious advantages in electro-magnetic clocks is, that precisely similar time will be kept by any number of dials situated in the different parts of a large establishment, and connected with one pendulum. Such a series has been in operation for some time at an extensive commercial warehouse. The whole of the dials are regulated by one pendulum, situated in the counting-house. The wire required to communicate be- tween the pendulum and the dials in the different depart- ments of the warehouse is upwards of a qviarter of a mile in length.] 129 Smith & Sons, John, Lancelot, & William, St. John's Square, Clerkenwell—Manufacturers.

The object of this apparatus is to obtain a more perfect knowledge of magnetic and meteorological phenomena, by continuous observation of all the changes that occur simultaneously in the various instruments. As the mag- netic changes are too minute to actuate continuously any mechanism, however delicate, a record can be obtained by an imponderable agent only, as light. Even with a staff of assistants so large that the eye of one of them should be constantly applied to every tele- scope, the results would be liable to errors of observation; besides which, the magnetic changes occasionally occur too rapidly to be continuously recorded by an observer. Since the apparatus has been employed at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the number of the staff has been reduced, and the fatiguing process of nocturnal observ- ations in the magnetic department has been entirely superseded. The apparatus consists of— 1. A declinometer. 2. A bifilar magnetometer. In these instruments, the torsion circle from which the suspension skin hangs is supported by eight brass tubes North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. springing from the four corners of a marble slab (which, when in actual operation, would be cemented on the top of a stone pillar firmly fixed in the ground, and insulated from the floor of the observatory) : these tubes, about 4 feet long, converge alternately to four points of the torsion plate; they thus compose a framework possessing great stiffness. To the suspension-frame of each magnet, a plane glass mirror and a concave metallic speculum are attached. The plane mirror is for the purpose of making eye-observations with a telescope in the usual manner. A - gas-light or lamp is so placed at a distance of about two feet in front of each speculum, that an image of a small slit in the copper chimney surrounding the burner may fall on the sensitive paper attached to— 3. The registering apparatus. This is placed midway between 1 and 2, and consists of a stand supporting hori- zontally on friction rollere two concentric glass cylinders, round the inner of which is wrapped a sheet of prepared photographic paper: the outer or covering cylinder keeps the paper moist dm'ing the 24 hours it remains in action, A bent arm, attached to the axis of these cylinders, is carried round by a fork at the end of the hour-hand of a time- piece specially constructed for the purpose. The horizontal motion of the tracing point of light, combined with the vertical motion of the paper, traces out the magnetic curve, which, when the paper is removed from the cylinder, is developed and fixed by the usual photo- graphic processes. A third light is attached to the registering apparatus, for the purpose of drawing a standard or base line on the paper; by the varying distance of any point of the magnetic curve from this line, the magnetic variation is determined. At the distance at which these instruments are placed, an angle of 1° is represented by 2 inches on the paper; but the scale valve may be enlarged at pleasure, by placing them further apart. This instrument is shown in fig. 1. AA, the declination magnet. B, a concave speculum attached to the magnet. C, a plane glass mirror also attached to the magnet, for making observations by a telescope, on the old method, when required. D, the torsion plate, reading to minutes by two verniers. E, a frame standing upon the torsion plate. A hook capable of being raised or lowered by a screw, is attached to this frame, from which the magnet is suspended by a skein of untwisted silk fibres. FFF, a glass box, in which the magnet and its appen- dages are enclosed, to protect them from the air; for the same purpose, the suspension skein is enclosed in a glass tube Gr, which passes through a stuffing box H, in the lid of the box. I, a gas-burner enclosed in a brass chimney, from which no light can escape, except a small pencil which passes through a narrow slit K, capable of being adjusted by a screw; on the breadth of this slit, the breadth of the register line depends. IAj, a combination of two plano-convex lenses. The pencil of light passing through K, falls on the mirror B, and is reflected to the cylindrical lenses ; by these, the image of the slit is condensed to a point of light on the surface of MM, the registering apparatus, consisting of two con- centric cylinders, between which the photographic paper is placed. N, the magnetic curve traced by the point of light. 0, a gas-burner, fixed to the stand on which the cylinders rest. P, a plano-convex prismatic lens, attached to the top of QQ, an opaque box, which protects the photographic paper from extraneous light, A pencil of light from 0 passes through P, and is brought to a focus on the surface of the paper, R, the base line, described by the point of light. SS, the bifilar, or horizontal force magnetometer. TT, the apparatus for producing an automatic tempera- ture compensation ; this consists of two zinc tubes, which are clamped to a glass rod by two adjustible clamps VV, the suspension skein passes over a pulley X, and the ends are attached to two hooks WW; as the temperature rises, these hooks are approximated to each other by a quantity 4;>4 Class 10.—PHILOSOPHICAL, North, North Central, and equal to the difference of the expansion of the glass rod and the zinc tubes, between the clamps VV; and thus the torsion force is diminished; the position of the clamps is so adjusted, that the diminution of the torsion force shall be equivalent to the loss of power in the magnet: and vice versa, when the temperature falls. The magnet, its appendages, and the suspension skein are enclosed similarly to the declination magnet; the glass box, Sec, is omitted to avoid confusion. The registration of its move- ments is likewise similarly effected on the opposite side of the cylinders. 4. A blackened zinc case, which is placed over the cylinders, when in actual operation, to prevent any light from falling on the paper, except the two pencils which describe the magnetic curves, and another which passes through a prism on the top of the case, and draws the base line. N.B.—This prism is placed on the top of the glass case, to show its proper position. 5. A case of the same material, which covers the whole of the apparatus, to protect the sensitive paper from any stray light, as well as to defend the whole from dust, &c. 6. A balanced magnetometer, supported by agate knife- edges, resting on agate planes. The variations of this instrument are similarly recorded on— 7. A registering apparatus, similar to the preceding No. 3, except that the axis of the revolving cylinder is vertical. The top of the inner cylinder rests on a turn- table, which is carried round by the hour-hand of a time-piece. In this and in the preceding apparatus, the lines of light reflected from the specula are each reduced to a point, by passing through two cylindrical plane convex lenses placed near the sides of the cylinders. 8. A self-registering barometer. The short arm of a lever carries a float which rests on the surface of the mercury in the lower end of a syphon barometer tube. The long arm carries a light screen with a small aperture in it, which is interposed between the revolving cylinder of No. 5, and a light. The small pencil of light passing through the screen marks the photographic paper, and thus records the changes in the mercurial column. The same light which registers the barometer serves also to describe the base line for the magnetic curve, by a pencil conducted from the back of the chimney through a tube with a right-angled prism at each end of it. This instru- ment is shown in fig. 2. AA, a self-registering barometer, enclosed in a case, resting on a stand. BB, the upper and lower ends of a syphon baro- meter, which are of the same diameter, and of large size. C, a float resting on the surface of the mercury, which hangs in a notch on the short arm of a lever. D, the pivot on which the lever turns. E, the long arm of the lever, which carries at its ex- tremity an opaque screen F, with a small aperture, through which a small pencil of light passes. G, a plate on which the tube rests, which is raised or lowered by a screw. H, a stand supporting a gas-burner. I, the register line, described by this pencil of light. The screen F will evidently rise and fall with the column of mercury, and the indications will be amplified in pro- portion to the length of leverage. K, a tube with a plano-convex prismatic lens at each end of it, placed at the back of the burner; through this, a pencil of light is conducted in the direction indicated by the dotted line, and describes the base line L. By this arrangement, two pencils are derived from the same source of light, which fall perpendicularly on two remote points of the paper. M, the balanced, magnetometer. N, a concave speculum connected with the magnet by a bar, to which are attached agate knife edges; these rest on agate planes attached to the supporting frame. 0, a plane mirror for making observations with a telescope in the usual manner.

Zinc cases analogous to 4 and 5. 11. A wet and dry bulb thermometer, and apparatus for registering the temperature they indicate. The regis- tering apparatus consists of a pair of vertical concentric cylinders, similar to No. 7, supported on a table. The bulbs of the thermometers are underneath the table, through which the stems pass vertically, and are placed between the opposite sides of the cylinders and two lights. A narrow vertical line of light brought to a focus by a cylindrical lens, falls on the stem of the thermo- meter, and passing through the empty portion of the bore, affects the paper. The boundary between the darkened and undarkened portion indicates the position of the mercury in the stem of the thermometer. Five wires are placed across the slit in the frame, through which the light falls on the stem. They intercept narrow portions of the light, and thus the scale of the thermometer is continuously impressed on the register, as well as the temperature. This instrument is shown in fig. 3. I, 2, camphine lamps. 3, 4, cylindrical lenses, by which a bright focal line of light is obtained. 5, the psychrometer, or wet-bulb thermometer. 6, the dry-bulb thermometer. 7, two concentric cylinders, between which the photographic paper is placed. 8, the register, as it appears after the impression is developed. 9, one of the rollers of a turn-table, on which the cylinders rest. 10, the frame which contains the timepiece.

MUSICAL, HOROLOGICAL, [United South Central Galleries. North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. '425 Fig. 3. Brooke's Self-registering Thermometer. As this apparatus is necessarily placed in the open air, when in actual operation, it is provided with— 12. An inner cylindrical zinc case, with sliding doors, to protect the sensitive paper from light, when the cylinder is removed from, and brought back to, the photographic room. 13. An outer wind and water-tight zinc case, with water-tight doors, for removing and replacing the cylin- ders, and for trimming the lamps, if lamps are used. 14. A timepiece, to show the arrangement of the train. In order to avoid the unsteadiness of the hour- hand, which in ordinary movements results from the play of the motion-wheels under the dial, the central axis which carries the hour-hand is in the train, and the axis which carries the minute-hand is placed out of the centre. As the forked or carrying arm is firmly attached to the axis, another moveable hand or pointer is added, which travels with the former, and points to the hour. The compensating-bars of the balance of this piece are composed of brass and palladium, to prevent the rate heing influenced by proximity to the magnets. Tlie numbers of the leaves in the pinions are all prime to the numbers of the teeth in the wheels with which they are in gear, to diminish the chance of irregular motion from wear, as the face of the piece must necessarily be exposed. 15. An elastic scale of vulcanized India-rubber, stretched on a brass frame, for readily marking the subdivisions of time on the registers, which differ slightly in length. 16. Specimens of the registers obtained by similar apparatus. 17. A lithographic fac-simile of one day's work of all the instruments employed at the Royal Observatory, from the volume of •'' Greenwich Magnetical and Meteoro- logical Observations for 1847," to which the reader is referred for further details, as well as to a series of papers by the inventor, published in recent volumes of the " Philosophical Transactions." The most recent improve- ment of this apparatus is an automatic temperature com- pensation, adapted to the horizontal-force magnetometer, 2; and to the vertical-force magnetometer, 6. In the former instrument, this object is attained by approximating the lower ends of the bifilar suspension, by the excess of the expansion of a zinc tube, over that of a glass rod: in the latter, by the weight of a small quantity of mercury enclosed in a thermometer tube attached to the magnets, passing from one side of the centre to the other. [The skilful application of photography, by Mr. Brooke, to register natural phenomena, with no more labour than that of supplying the cylinder punctually with prepared paper, is one of the most useful and beautiful uses to which photography has yet been applied. The paper is prepared so as to render it extremely sensitive to light, being first washed with a solution of isinglass, bromide of potassium, and iodide of potassium, in the proportion of 1, 3, and 2, respectively; and when required for use, it is washed with an aqueous solution of nitrate of silver, which causes the paper to be sufficiently sensitive to the action of light, so that if a beam of light be allowed to fall upon it, an im- pression is made upon that part where the light falls, which becomes visible on being washed with a solution of gallic acid, with a small admixture of acetic acid. A light is placed near a small aperture, through which rays pass and fall upon a concave mirror carried by a part of the suspension apparatus of the magnet, and this reflec- tion falls upon a piano-cylindrical lens of glass placed at the distance of its focal length from the paper on the cylinder. As the magnet is ever varying and making small excursions on one or other side of its mean position, the point of light traces a corresponding zigzag line on the paper. The thermometer apparatus has no mirror and no reflector, the mercury in the tubes themselves intercepting the pencils of light; and thus this apparatus, throughout the day and night, is constantly recording the slightest change of position of the magnets, and the smallest changes of temperature. The object of the self-registering magnetometer above described is to determine the direction and intensity of the earth's magnetism. Its direction is generally found by suspending a piece of steel previously magnetized, or in other words, a magnet, by parallel threads of untwisted silk, and the bar settles in that position in which mag- netism causes it to rest, and which is called the magnetic meridian. The angle between the astronomical meridian and the magnetic meridian gives the magnetic declination, which is the subject of research with the declination mag- netometer; at present this value in London is about 22^° west of the astronomical meridian. Having determined the declination, the vertical plane is determined in which the force of magnetism is exerted. The angle which the magnet makes, when freely sus- pended on this plane from the horizon, is termed the dip. At present, the dip at London is about 68° 40'. The force of magnetism exerted in this inclined direction can be re- solved into two forces, the one acting in a horizontal direc- tion, the other in a vertical direction, so that conjointly they shall produce exactly the same force as the single force. The bifilar, or horizontal force magnetometer, is intended for measuring the variations of the horizontal component of the variations of the force of magnetism. It consists of a magnet suspended by two halves of a skein of untwisted silk, kept at a certain distance apart." If an unmagnetized bar were thus suspended, it would remain at rest only in that position in which the two parts of the suspension skein were without twist, and if it were turned out of this position, it would endeavour to resume its former position, with a force proportionate to its weight, and the angle through which it had been turned. This principle is made the means of measuring the force of North, North Central, and South Central Oalleries. magnetism. A freely-suspended magnet always endea- vours to rest in the magnetic meridian. The variations in the vertical component of the mag- netic dip are the subjects of investigation with the ver- tical force magnet, which is a magnet placed nearly at right angles to the magnetic meridian. It is kept hori- zontal, or nearly so, by weights balanced with extreme accuracy, and made to vibrate like a balance ; and from its different inclination, the variation of the vertical force of magnetism is determined.—J. G.] 145 DoLLOND, George, St. PauVs Churchyard— Inventor. Atmospheric recorder. This instrument self-registers simultaneously, on paper, the varying pressures of the atmosphere, the changes of the temperature of air and evaporation, and those of the electrical states of the atmosphere, the fall of rain, the amount of water evapo- rated from a surface of water, and the force and direction of the wind. [Self-registering instruments, which move equally by clock-work or otherwise, and are made subservient to the registration of natural phenomena, are of the highest importance, and particularly so in meteorological investi- gations, where the changes of every element of research are perpetual, and those which accrue during the night are of equal importance to those happening during the day.—J. G.] The atmospheric recorder will correctly register the slightest change which takes place during any period of time, according to the length of the paper. The apparatus is composed of a frame of about two feet by three feet six inches, firmly supported upon four pil- lars, the sides of the frame being strongly bolted together at two feet from each other. At one-fourth from each end of the frame, a roller of one foot in circumference is introduced. To one of these rollers an eight-day clock is attached, which moves it round once in twenty-four hours. At half right angles above that roller is another of the same dimensions, so arranged as to press upon it equally throughout its length. The last-mentioned roller is for the purpose of keeping the paper in contact with the driving or clock roller. The apparatus is represented in the annexed Plate. The roller at the other end of the frame acts as a rest for carrying the paper to be registered to a platform in the middle of the frame, which has its face in the same plane as the upper sides of the rollers. Near the end of the frame, which is placed towards the north, is a strong bar, upon which all the fulcrums of the indicators or markers are placed, from which arms of one foot in length, having spring points at their ends for the barometer, thermometer, and hygrometer, are struck into the paper every half hour by a falling lever or frame. For the electrometer, rain, evaporator, force and direction of the wind, ever-pointed pencils are used, which make a continuous mark upon the paper, with a weight pressing upon them so as to render the marks perfectly distinct without interrupting their proper motion. Beyond the .fulcrums there are continuations of the arms of the indicators, to which are applied, by various contrivances, the powers which give motion to the indi- cators, in those proportions which are required by the scales of the eight instruments which mark the various changes of the atmosphere. Each indicator has its proper scale placed near to the line of the registering points and pencils, so that the last indentures or marks on the paper may be compared with their respective scales, and the time referred to at which the indication took place. There are also a set of liners which separate each de- partment, and form zeros or boundary lines throughout the whole run of the paper, commencing at the point or place of the indicato] s, from which any movement or hy- grometric change of the paper may be i*eferred to for correction. On each side of the frame, there is a marker for time; these are governed by a wheel attached to the clock roller, which, by a lever and inclined planes, are made to regis- ter the time correctly at every half-hour, and sixth horn* more strongly, for the convenience of counting. The ad- vantage of thus marking the time on both the edges of the paper is very considerable ; for when the paper is taken off, or at any time examined, a line drawn across, corresponding with the opposite marks, will show the correct period at which any change in the atmosphere took place. Having described the general formation of the appa- ratus, it will be requisite to give a detailed account of those parts which are more immediately acted upon by the atmosphere, and the manner in which they are made to register the results. The barometer is upon the siphon principle of a large bore. Upon the surface of the mercury, in the shortest leg, is placed a float very accurately counterpoised, leaving only sufficient weight to compel it to follow the mercury, and correctly adjusted to that part of the apparatus which moves the indicator, when the pressure of the at- mosphere is at thirty inches. The connection of the float with the indicator is so arranged as to give a scale of three to one, which has been found to maintain the register in the most perfect manner, under comparison with an excellent instrument of the best construction. The thermometrical arrangement consists of ten mer- curial thermometers of a peculiar form. These are sus- pended upon an extremely delicate and accurate balance, by which a correct register of all the various changes in this climate have been found to agree with the best ther- mometers of the usual construction. They are placed at the north end of the frame, and are screened from the effects of the wind and rain by perforated plates of zinc. The hygrometer consists of a slip of mahogany cut across the grain. This was placed in a cylinder filled with water, and suspended from the upper end, with a weight of two pounds at the other end, until it was found by repeated examination to be completely saturated, and no longer to increase in length. The length was then referred to an accurate scale, and the slip of mahogany placed by the side of the pipe of a stove, under the same suspension and weight, until its shortest length was obtained. The difference of the two results being carefully taken, the scale was formed accordingly. It is placed in a tube, open at both ends for a free passage of air, outside the observa- tory. It is suspended, and weighted as before, Avith full power to act upon the arm of the indicator, quite free from the action of the sun or rain, and is found to be ex- tremely active and firm in its operation, showing upon an open scale every hundredth of its extremes in dryness and moisture.* The next part of the arrangement to be described is the electrometer for thunder-storms and electric changes. This is constructed by placing a well-insulated conductor upon the highest convenient place, from which a wire is brought down to an insulation on the top of the observa- tory, and from thence to a standard through another in- sulation to a metal disc, between which and a spring there is a moveable disc attached to a glass or insulating arm, for the purpose of connecting it with an accurate support upon which it can move with the greatest facility. In connexion with this arm and disc there is a pencil carried forward to the line of indication. The spring before stated is fixed to a standard at about three inches from the first disc; to this a wire is attached and carried into the earth. By this arrangement, the electricity put in motion by a thunder-cloud is received and registered. The effect of this arrangement during a thunderstorm is extremely in- teresting. When a cloud charged with the electric fluid comes within the range of the conductor, the moveable disc begins slowly to pass from the first disc to the spring, discharging each time a proportion of the electricity, and increasing in rapidity of motion until the discharge of the cloud by lightning takes place. It then falls back to the * This method of constructing a hygrometer was recommended by Henry Lawson, Ksq., F.R.S., from one in his possession made for and - used by the late Dr. Benjamin Franklin, which now performs with precision, although made more than half a century a^'O. 95. THE ATMOSPHERIC RECORDER, DOLLOND. North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. first disc, and remains perfectly quiet until the next elec- tric cloud approaches. If, in the interim, a cloud charged with rain only should descend or pass over, no movement of the disc takes place. The pluviometer, or that part of the apparatus which is arranged for registering the quantity of rain that falls, is formed in the following manner :—On the top of the observatory there is a receiver of one foot square, clear from all surrounding matter that might interfere with the direct fall of the rain upon its surface. From this receiver a pipe conducts the rain into another receiver inside the observatory, directly under the registering apparatus; in this there is an air-float, connected with a set of inclined planes, each inclined plane being equal to one inch of rain. These inclined planes, as they pass up, move the indicator across the destined proportion of the paper; showing, as it proceeds, the result of each drop to the hundredth part of an inch in superficies, and con- tinues to advance until it arrives at one inch. It is then instantly discharged, and returns to the zero of the scale, or commencement of another inch. The internal receiver is calculated to contain six inches of rain, a quantity that seldom falls in this island during one month. The register will show when it is nearly full. The water can then be drawai off without the slightest inconvenience, and the float be re-adjusted to the zero of the first inch. The evaporator, 10, is an open cube of one foot square, which is supplied with water from the larger vessel, and is connected with the cube by a pipe underneath the two vessels, 10-10. From that connexion the indicator of evaporation is carrried to the marker or arm, 6, of the registering paper, and is supported by a float from the surface of the water in the larger vessel. The cube or evaporator is covered by a plate of glass at an angle of sufficient elevation to prevent rain from falling into it, but not so close as to resist the air from freely acting upon the surface of the water. When the water is exhausted, it may be refilled from the pump in the observatory. The power or force of the wind is registered by a com- bination of suspended weights, acted upon by inclined planes or edges, in connexion with a board of one foot square to receive the impression; this board is kept in op- position to the direction of the wind by a powerful vane, its motion being as free from friction as possible, every part being correctly counterpoised. When the board is acted xvpon by the wind, it raises the suspended weights by a chain passing over a pulley in a line with the direction of the wind, and well secured from the weather. The suspended weights in connexion with an inclined lever carry the pencil of indication along the scale, which re- gisters the weight lifted in ozs. and lbs. avoirdupois ; the scale having been found, by repeated trials, to be cor- rectly equal to the weights recorded upon it. The direction of the wind is also registered at the same time by another pencil, which marks the course upon the paper, throughout the whole circle of the horizon, or that proportion through which it passes. For the convenience of placing upon the instrument the paper to be registered, there is a roller, with a flange at each end, to keep it from being deranged as it is un- rolled, for which proper receptacles are proAdded for the pivots underneath the frame, and parallel to the rollers above. The cut represents one day's work of this instrument. 1 I 1 / \ i c E i ^ .■■ \ 1 / } \ 1 s \ s 1 1 —i ?9 80 10 JO'so 70 30 0 60 100 103 50 0 100 bO T30 10 0 S The end of the paper is carried from this roller over the one above, at the north end of the frame, and conducted under the indicators, and over the platform to the driving and pressing rollers; it is then to be drawn forward until it reaches a similar roller to that on which it was first rolled, also vmderneath the frame; to this roller it is then to be fastened by springs prepared for that purpose. This roller has attached to one of its pivots a worm, upon which a weight is wound up; which weight is equal to the power requisite to wind up the paper as it comes from the driving roller, leaving a space between them, which gives the observer an opportunity of seeing what has been registered during the last twenty-four hours. For the purpose of reading off the register when removed from the apparatus, there are a set of scales in com- bination, corresponding correctly with those upon the instrument. The whole may be placed in a room six feet square, having an opening to the north for the convenience of placing the thermometer out of the range of the sun's rays, and the better for the action of the hygi-ometer. For the convenience of the lightning conductor and vane, an upper room would be preferable. References to Plate 95.—1. Barometer. 2. Thermometer. 3. Hygrometer. 4. Electrometer. 5. Pluviometer. 6.

Receivers for Pluviometer and Evaporator, Lawson's meteorological thermometer stand: this ap- paratus consists of a frame (fig^ 1) of white deal boards, and can be formed or constructed by any carpenter. It is represented in the cut. It is made of an oblong tinink, T, 12 inches by 8 inches outside measure; to the opposite sides of which are nailed boards, 6, 6, at the distance of three-quarters of an inch, and projecting about six inches from it towards the north. Outside of these are nailed other thin boards, c, c, full half an inch distant, and pro- jecting about four inches beyond the last-mentioned boards, also towards the north. These sides or shades prevent the sun from heating the interior of the stand where the thermometers are placed. The top, or pent board, P, is made double, and the boards are placed at full three-quarters of an inch distant from each other, and come forward so as to overhang, by a full inch, the night index thermometer, placed immediately beneath, for the purpose of preventing rain or dew from falling perpendicularly upon the bulb of the thermometer. The legs, L, L, of the stand are merely the continuation of the sides of the trunk. The board, F, F, is loaded, or the feet fixed to the ground, to sustain the force of the wind. The interior, T, is blackened to prevent strong reflections of light. The whole is to be painted white, and no other colour; except the face of the trunk, which may be black, to pre- vent strong reflections of light. Fig. 4 is a ground plan, or bird's-eye view of the ma- chine, which will assist any intelligent workman in its construction. The sides and wood-work generally are of half-inch white deal. The distance between the sides of the trunk T (tig. 1), and the board, or inner side, i, s, (^ig. 4 is three-quarters of an inch; and the distance from that board to the outer side, o, s (fig 4), is full half an inch. The narrow boards, s, s, (fig. 4), are to be nailed, with studs intervening, to the middle board or side i, s; and are designed to prevent the sun from shining between the trunk and the sides, o, s, and i, s. when near the meri- dian. The sides are fixed, one upon the other, at the required distance (viz., three-quarters of an inch, and half an inch), by numerous wooden studs, shown in figs. 1, 2, and 3, about three quarters of an inch diameter ; the nails or screws passed through the sides and studs, fixing the whole firmly together. The v/hol'e is to be painted white, except the face of the trunk T, which may be black, to prevent strong reflection of light. Fig. 2 is the view of the north side of the stand. No. 1 is an index thermometer, to give the greatest heat of the air in the shade each day. No. 2 is an index spirit ther- mometer, to give the greatest cold of the night. No. 4 North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. are two thermometers, with finely-graduated scales, which are called the wet and dry bulb thermometer, to show the power of air to evaporate water. V is a conical vase of considerable size to hold water for the wet bulb thermo- meter; it is of glass, for the purpose of seeing when it requires re-fiUiag, and conical, to prevent its being broken by frost. Fig. 3 is the view of the south side of the stand. No. 3 is an index mercurial thermometer, with a black bulb, to give the greatest solar heat of each day. R is a rain gauge, which conveys the rain into the bottle, B, en- closed within the trunk, T (fig. 1). From the bottle, B, the water is to be poured into the gauge tubes, provided for the purpose of showing the quantity of rain that has fallen. The meteorological thermometer stand, as above ar- ranged, will be found to possess the following advantages. It can be placed in any eligible spot that may suit the convenience of its owner. Its four sides being placed to face the cardinal points, it commands a true north and south aspect. It can be visited on every side, and be free from all surrounding objects. The instruments or ther- mometers used can be read ofi" with the greatest facihty; and the whole will be at a known distance from the ground. Those instruments placed on the south face will have the meridian sun; and those on the north face will be always in the shade, in consequence of the pro- jecting wings. It can be employed by any meteorologist, wherever residing. It is of a determinate form, height, and size. The instruments may be read off with promp- titude, so as to prevent or reduce errors arising from the person of the observer being too long in the vicinity of the thermometers. By the general adoption of this stand, instruments placed upon it will all be used or observed, under similar circumstances; and deductions therefrom be more correctly drawn than at present. It follows, therefore, that observations made either in Europe, Asia, Africa, or America, if drawn from instruments thus simi- larly placed, can be compared with each other more accu- rately than heretofore. Lawson's Thermometer Stand. In using instruments a certain adroitness is necessary; but a little practice will render the use of the thermo- meter stand in every respect easy. The thermometers used should have their bulbs perfectly free from the scales, whether of metal or wood, and a space of at least half an inch should be interposed between the bulb of each ther- mometer and its scale, and the place whereon it is fixed; as in some states of the atmosphere great errors will be the consequence of their touching any sm-rounding body. The metallic indices in the tubes of registering thermo- meters are apt to tarnish and cease to slide with the re- quired ease, which may be prevented by passing them up and down the tube, half a dozen times, at every notation of the thermometer. When the thermometers are put by, and out of use, the indexes should be moved to the end of the tube furthest from the bulb^ and left there. 146 Good, S. A., H.M. Dockyard, Pembroke—Inventor.

Three of the most approved hygrometers now in use: a Daniel's hygrometer: a dry-bulb and wet-bulb thermo- meter, and Regnault's condenser hygrometer; the latter instrument is so constructed as to be used like the pre- ceding one, having been altered from Regnault's original form, by substituting black glass for silver caps, to avoid the necessity of cleaning the caps, an operation rendered necessary by the oxidation of metal caps. Two distinct thermometers in one stem. Simple and improved pressure gauge, less liable to get out of order than the ordinary mercury gauge. [The dry and wet bulb thermometers consist of two of these instruments, whose readings, when under the same circumstances, are identical. In use, one of the bvilbs is covered with thin muslin, and moistened by means of water passing by capillary action from a vessel containing that fluid, and will take a temperature depend- ing on the amount of moisture in the air. If the air be saturated with moisture, there will be no difference in the readings of the two thermometers; but if the air be not saturated, it will take up additional vapour : this vapour will be combined with heat, and the reduction of temperature will be shown. The different readings of the two thermometers will be according to the quantity of heat which has been required to change the state of water on the bulb to vapour. From the readings of the dry and wet bulb thermometers, nearly all hygrometrical problems can be solved.

Centrifugal machine, illustrating planetary motion. The object of this machine is to exhibit the remarkable tendency of all bodies, having a longer and shorter axis, to revolve upon their shorter axis: a tendency common to all the planetary bodies, as far as we are acquainted with their motions, as well as to all bodies on or near the earth's surface. To illustrate this tendency, a model of the planet Saturn is suspended by its longer axis, and set in revolu- tion by means of a machine which, in the present instance, is regulated by clockwork. As soon as it is in motion, the model, of its own accord, quits its vertical position, and assumes a horizontal one, so as to spin on its shorter axis, and this it continues to do as long as the motion is kept up,—just in the same way as the planet itself is revolving at millions of miles distance. The machine is fitted up in open brass-work, the escapement for which has been arranged by Mr. Jennings, of Birmingham. It is moimted on a kind of triumphal arch, executed by Mr. Flint and Mr. Stokes, of the same place.

Pair of globes, teiTestrial and celestial, with cases ; showing the various stages in globe making. 201 Allan, Thomas, 2Q> St. Andrew's Square, Edinburgh— Inventor. Two pairs of patent electric telegraphs. [The general principle upon which electric telegraphs depend for their indications, is the remarkable fact dis- covered by Professor Oersted, that a magnetic needle freely moving on its axis is capable of being turned to one side by the transmission of an electric current through a wire placed parallel and near to it. It was subsequently found, that by placing the needle so as to surround it with a coil composed of many lengths of insulated wire, this effect was immensely multiplied, and a very feeble current became sufficient to deflect the needle so placed. The galvanometer was thus invented, and subsequently —the needle-telegraph. It is obvious that a means of communicating signals was discovered when this fact was first developed, since a needle thus placed might be ar- ranged at any distance, and being connected with the operator by insulated wires, he could cause it to turn to one side at pleasure. Such is the principal feature of the needle-telegraphs. These instruments consist essentially of the following parts—a source of the electric current, or voltaic battery, a medium through which it can be conveyed without loss, or insulated wires, and a magnetic needle arranged so as to be influenced by its passage, which is generally suspended in front of the index-plate of the apparatus, upon which certain marks are arranged. The movements of two such needles, and the combina- tion of signals which these obviously afford, form the alphabet, or signal code of the electric telegraph. —R.

An organ, with three rows of keys, and two octaves and a fifth of pedals. This instrument is built upon the German plan, viz., 8 feet manuals, and 32 feet pedals; it contains 77 stops, nearly 4,500 pipes, the largest being CCCC 32 feet, the smallest C | of an inch. The great and swell organs are played by means of the pneumatic lever, applied vertically, and worked without the aid of addi- tional wind pressure. In the choir and pedal organs are introduced two newly-invented patent valves, over which the pressure of the air has little influence; also a patent movement in connexion with a compound application of the pneumatic lever, which brings the instrument entirely under the performer's command. The mechanism includes several new arrangements, and in the various bellows there are five different pressures of air. This organ is repre- sented in the opposite page as it stands in the Exhibition. [The superiority of the German plan for building organs chiefly consists in its preserving a balance of power amongst its various masses. The attention of our native builders has been profitably directed to this essential point for some time past, and we hope the time will soon come when an instrument will not be con- sidered complete without a commensurate pedal organ.— H. E.D.] An organ, consisting of a swell, with 22 stops. A choir organ of 14 stops. A great organ of 20 stops.

Piece of mechanism intended to illustrate the different proportions of the human figure: it admits of being expanded from the size of the Apollo Belvidere to that of a color.sal statue. The external part of the figure consists of a series of steel and copper plates sliding upon each other, and kept in contact by screws, nuts, and spiral springs; attached to these plates, and within the figure, are metal slides, having projecting pins at their extremities: these pins are inserted in curved grooves cut in circular steel plates; the curvature of these grooves being so arranged that when the steel plates are put in revolution by a train of wheels and screws the slides belonging to each parti- cular part of the figure are expanded or contracted in correct proportion. The elongation of the figure is accomplished either by sliding metal tubes, provided with racks, and acted upon by a combination of wheels, or by screws and slides, as found most applicable for each particular part. Besides the general adjustments de- scribed, each part of the figure has an independent and separate adjustment, by which it can be put out of its correct likeness to the Apollo Belvedere, and made to represent the deformities or peculiarities of form of any individual. The varieties of figure and size of the human body are so numerous that it necessarily requires a great number of movements to represent them. Some idea may be formed of the number of mechanical combinations included in the figure, from the following list of the parts of which it is constructed, viz.—875 framing-pieces, 48 grooved steel plates, 163 wheels, 202 slides, 476 metal washers, 482 spiral springs, 704 sliding plates, 32 sliding tubes, 497 nuts, 8500 fixing and adjusting screws, and a considerable number of steadying pinions, &c., making the number of pieces, of which the figure is composed, upwards of 7000. It is stated that this invention could easily be made applicable in the artist's studio; but that its more immediate object is to facilitate the exact fitting of garments, more especially in cases where great numbers are to be provided for, as in the equipment of an army, or providing clothing for a distant colony ; that personal attendance is not required, since there is adapted to the figure, a new system of measurement which enables any person to take the exact size and form of an individual; and from the measurement so taken, the figure can be adjusted to represent correctly the person to be fitted, so that the clothing may be tried on, and, if necessary, altered with as much facility as if the original person, whose measure had been taken, Avere present.

Paintings adapted to dissolving lanterns. [The phantasmagoria lanterns exhibited are a scientific form of magic-lantern, diJffering from it in no essential principle. The images they produce are variously exhibited, either on opaque or transparent screens. The light is an improved kind of solar lamp. The manner in which the beautiful melting pictures called dissolving views are produced, as respects the mechanism employed, deserves to be explained. The arrangement adopted in the instruments exhibited is the following :— Two lanterns of the same size and power, and in all respects exactly agreeing, are arranged together upon a little tray or platform. They are held fast to this stand by screws, which admit of a certain degree of half-revolving motion from side to side, in order to adjust the foci. This being done in such a manner that the circle of light of each lan - tern falls precisely upon the same s^^ot upon the screen, the screws are tightened to the utmost extent, so as to remove all probability of further movement. The dis- solving apparatus consists of a circular tin plate, japanned in black, along three parts of the circumference of A\ hi(;h a crescentic aperture runs, the interval between tlu- horns of the crescent being occupied by a circular opeu^ ing, covered by a screwed plate, removeable at pleasure. This plate is fixed to a horizontal wooden axis, at the other end of which is a handle, by which the plate can be caused to rotate. The axis of wood is supported by two pillars, connected Vv^ith a flat piece which is secured to the tray. This apparatus is placed between the lan- terns in such a manner that the circular plate is in front of the tubes of both, while the handle projects behind tlie lanterns at the back. The plate can, therefore, be tui'ned round by means of the handle, without difficulty, from behind. A peg of wood is fixed into the axis, so as to prevent its effecting more than half a revolution. The widest part of the crescentic opening in the plate, is suf- ficiently so to admit all the rays of the lantern before which it happens to be placed. On the plate being slowly turned half round, by means of the handle behind, the opening narrows until it is altogether lost in one of the horns of the crescent. The light of that lantern is gradually cut ofi* as the aperture diminishes, until it is at length wholly shaded under the moveable cover occupying the interval between the horns of this crescentic oijening. In proportion as the light is cut ofi" from one, it is let on from the other tube, in consequence of the gradually in- creasing size of the crescent revolving before it, iintil at length the widest part of this opening in the plate is pre- sented before the tube of the second lantern, the first being, as we have seen, shaded. This movement being reversed, the light is cut oflp from the second lantern, and again let on from the first, and so on alternately. Thus while the screen always presents the same circle of light, yet it is derived first from one lantern, then from the next. When in use, a slider is introduced into each lantern. The lantern before the mouth of which the widest part of the opening in the plate is placed, exhibits the painting on the screen, the light of the other lantern being then hid behind the cover. On turning the handle, this pic- ture gradually becomes shaded, while the light from the second lantern streams throiigh the widening opening. The effect on the screen is the melting away of the first picture, and the brilliant development of the second, the screen being at no instant left unoccupied by a pictm"e. The principle involved in this apparently complex, but in reality simple mechanism, is, merely the obscuration of one picture and the throwing of a second in the same place on the screen. And it may be accomplished in a gxeat variety of ways. Thus, by simply placing a flat piece of wood, somewhat like the letter Z, on a point in the centre, so that alternately one or the other of the pieces at the end should be raised or depressed before the lanterns, a dissolving scene is produced. Or, by fixing a moveable ui^right shade, which can be pushed alternately before one or the other of the lanterns, the same eSect is produced, North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. Individuals exist in this metropolis whose sole occupa- tion consists in painting the minute scenes or slides used for the phantasmagoria lanterns. The perfection to which these paintings are brought is surf)rising. There are two methods by which the sliders now employed are pro- duced. In one of these, the outline and detail are entirely the work of the artist's pencil. For pictures representing landscapes, or wherever a spirited painting is required, this is the exclusive method employed. The colours are rendered transparent by being ground in Canada balsam and mixed with varnish. The other method is a transfer process. The outlines of the subjects are engraved on copper plates, and the impression is received from these on thin sheets of glue, and is then transferred to a plate of glass, the impression being biu^nt in the same manner as is effected in earthenware. Sliders produced in this way receive the distinctive name of copper-plate sliders. The subject is merely represented in outline, it being left to the artist to fill up with the necessary tints, &c. The advantages of this method for the production of paintings of a limited kind are obvious. Latterly photography on glass has been employed to obtain pictures for the magic lantern.—R.

[The larger glass placed in telescopes, or that which is placed the farthest from the eye, is termed the object- glass. If this glass consists of a single lens, the image of a circular object will not be a perfect circle, as it ought to be, for such a lens will not refract all the rays falling upon it to a single point, and will cause an image in its focus to be both distorted and coloured; the former defect arises from the fact that no spherical lens will produce a ■perfect image; and the latter, from the unequal refrangi- bility of the coloured rays which, united, form a per- fectly colourless image, and thus the image will be siirrounded with several colours. The most important improvement in object-glasses was made in the year 1757, by Dollond. This was effected by making the object- glass double, one portion being made of flint glass and the other of crown glass, of different refractive powers, which mutually correct each other, and thus give a pencil of light entirely colourless. Such object-glasses are called achromatic.—J. G.] 274a Evans, W., Brecknock, South Wales—Inventor and Manufacturer. Artificial leg, to enable persons who have lost the knee either to walk or ride.

Case of optical instruments for surgical and other pur- poses:— No. 1 is an instrument for the inspection of the inter- nal parts of the ear. The instrument as seen in the case, with silver truncated tube, is for the ear only. The silver tubes Nos. 2 and 3, the two long brass tubes, the sliding tube No. 4 (with magnifier), and the large brass tube, are used for other internal parts of the body. No. 5 is an instrument for the Eustachian tube: an elastic tube is made to slide inside a silver one, and inside the elastic tube, is a steel spring wire for the purpose of giving curvature to the elastic tube, when introduced into the Eustachian tube. Before introducing the instrument the elastic .tube must be partially withdrawn from the silver tube, and when the orifice of the Eustachian tube is felt, the elastic tube must be gently slid therein, when the spring wire will adapt itself to the required curve. The wire is intended to convey a feeble galvanic cur- rent through the membrane tympani, through a little aperture at the end of the elastic tube; when the wire is withdravm, fluid or vapour may be injected.

Ann Hathaway's House. [By a little expenditure of ingenuity, it is perfectly possible to take daguerreotype views of nature in the open fields, by the river side, or on the sea-shore. All that is necessary is to obtain a means of transferring the prepared plate, and also of mercurializing it when im- pressed, in the dark; and by a small amount of manual dexterity, with the assistance of a piece of black velvet, this may be accomplished.—R. E.] Daguerreotype pictures to illustrate poetry and senti- ment, the backgrounds in some cases behig sketched, and the sitter posed so as to make the whole harmonise to- gether.

[The application of the daguerreotype to the production of the pictures referred to is effected in the following manner:—The sitter, or the persons comprising the group, dressed in appropriate costume, are artistically posed so as to form a tableau vivant, and in this position are taken by the ordinary process. The background is procured either by placing the sitters in front of a scene painted upon canvas, in which case the plate receives the impres- sion as usual, and the scene appears as a natural back- ground to the figures; or, in other cases, the plate is painted with a fine brush, and the landscape, &c., are thus artificially sketched upon its surface. The practised eye will immediately decide which of these methods have been adopted.—R. E.] Frame of interesting specimens, including a j)ortrait of Daguerre, the inventor of the art. [The discovery by M. Daguerre of the sensitiveness to luminous impressions of an iodized silver plate, and of the development of the picture by mercurial vapour, was first announced to the French Academy of Sciences, by M. Arago, in January, 1839. The original jorocess is not now pursued, bromine and iodine, in combination or succession, being employed to render the plate sensitive to light.—R. E.] Daguerreotypes of sculpture, and novel applications of the art to a variety of subjects. " Crayon daguerreotypes." [This peculiar process is understood to be a French in- vention. In No. 1197 o£ the Athenaeum, Mr. Mayall has desci'ibed, in the following terms, the method of producing crayon daguerreotypes:— ''First. Take a daguerreotype image on a prepared plate as usual, taking care to mark the end of the plate on which the head is produced. When taken, and before mercurializing, remove the plate and place on it a plate of glass, prepared as follows: Second. Cut a piece of thin plate glass of the same size as the daguerreotype plate; gum upon one side of it a thin oval piece of blackened zinc, the centre of the oval to coincide with the centre of the image upon the plate. Having carefully placed the glass thus prepared, with the centi-e of the zinc disc, upon the centre of the image, expose the whole to daylight for twenty seconds. The action of the light will obliterate North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. every trace of the image from every part of the plafce, except that which is covered with the blackened zinc, and also from the thickness of the glass the action will be refracted under the edges of the zinc disc, and will soften into the dark parts. Third. Mercurialize the plate as usual; the image will be found with a halo of light around it, gradually softening into the background. By grinding the glass on which the disc is fixed, and by altering the size and shape of the disc, a variety of effects may be produced," The appearance of these pictures is extremely singular. The fact that the exposure of plates already impressed with an image in the camera obscura to daylight entirely removed the original impression, is one of the practical discoveries made by every daguerreotypist who has acci- dentally lifted the shutter of the plate-holder after removing it from the camera. But such an application of this fact could scarcely have been anticipated.—R. E.] Specimens of photography, on glass. [The art of photography on glass is more recent than either the daguerreotype or talbotype processes. But the principles upon which it is successfully practised are essentially similar to those involved in the latter art. In consequence of the inequality of the texture of photo- graphic paper, it became desirable to obtain some more homogeneous medium for the reception of the negative talbotype picture. Glass and porcelain have been employed with great success for this purpose. In order to render the surface sufficiently retentive of the sensitive coating of silver, the plates of glass are covered in the first instance with a thin layer of the albumen of an egg, containing a few drops of a solution of iodide of potassium. The sensi- tive washes are then applied, and the plate is exposed to the lenticular image in the camera. The picture is developed in the usual manner. The 'Sprints" from glass plates are of the most exquisitely beautiful character.—R. E,] 291a Ladd, W., 29 Penton Place, Walworth— Manufacturer. Box of apparatus for showing experiments in pneu- matics, consisting of an air-pump and 14 other instru- ments. [The air-pump was invented by Otto Guericke, a citizen of Magdeburg, in Prussian Saxony, about the year 1654. He illustrated the pressure of the atmosphere by the beautiful experiment of exhausting a hollow sphere, com- posed of two pieces accurately fitting at their edges, which before the experiment were slightly rubbed with fat. On pumping out the air, tha external atmosphere pressed the hemispheres together with such force that, to the great astonishment of the spectators, a number of horses were unable to pull them asunder. In the hands of Boyle and Mariotte it served shortly afterwards for the discovery of the principal mechanical properties of the atmosphere.—W. D. L.

The novelty consists in moving the prepared plate by means of racks and pinions in a vertical and in a hoiizontal direction, thus making several parts of the surface pass alternately before an opening placed at the focus of the lens, A sculptor being supplied with seven difierent aspects of the features of the same person, is enabled, without seeing that person, to make a perfect bust or model. Photographometer, to measure the intensity of the di- rect photogenic rays, and to compare the sensitiveness of various photogenic preparations. [It is of the utmost importance in practice to know, at all times, the amount of chemical agency (actinism) which may be associated with the light of the sun, as they bear no direct relation to each other; the light may be intense and the chemical power very deficient, or the contrary: hence the value to the daguerreotypist of an instrument of this kind.—R. H.] Dynactinometer, to measure the intensity of the re- flected photogenic radiation, and to compare the power of lenses or object glasses, [Lenses vary very considerably in their powers of trans- mitting radiations: the difference arising from the mole- cular condition of the glass itself, which varies, and also from very slight deviations from the true curve^ which in the delicate operation of grinding it is exceedingly difficult to avoid.—R. H.] Focimeter. It is impossible to obtain well-defined, photographic pictures, without previously ascertaining the exact position of the photogenic focus, which is easily done by taking the image of the focimeter on a photo- graphic surface, and comparing the segments of the ap- paratus with the image, then on the ground glass and on the photographic surface. [Mr. Towson first observed that the focus of the chemi- cal rays was not identical with the luminous focus; that the best photographic picture was always produced at a short distance nearer the lens, than the point at which the most perfect visible image is produced: M. Claudet has shown that this applies equally to achromatic as to non-achromatic lense»; and this instrument is for the pur- pose of determining the chemical focus with facility.— R. H.] Screens, to modify the action of light on the various parts of the figure in taking portraits, and thus obtain artistic effects. Patent photographic camera-obscura. The novelty con- sists in its being possible to adapt to it with the greatest facility any system of object-glasses, to change them at will according to the power wanted, and also to use plates of any size; each having a separate moveable frame, in which the ground glass and plate fit the same groove. Without the least alteration it will serve for silver plates or paper, and answer either for views or portraits. [The photographic camera is a modified form of the camera obscura, invented by Baptista Porta, the principle in both cases being the same, the arrangements only being modified to allow of the easy introduction of the daguerreotype plate or photographic paper. The princi- North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. pie is often popularly studied by simply making a hole in the window shutter of a dark room and examining the images of external objects on a sheet of paper at a certain distance from it.—R. H.] Dark boxes, for containing the prepared plates, and carrying them to and from the camera-obscura. Brass frames, to hold two plates, face to face, without contact. Mercury box. The novelty is that a number of plates of various sizes may be mercurialized at once, in a ver- tical position, and that the heat is applied by the uniform temperature of boiling water. Apparatus for cleaning and finishing a daguerreotype plate, without burning the oil which has been used for the polishing, and without employing cotton wool, spirit of wine, or any powder. Bromide of iodine. Iodine and bromine combined in proportions found to afford means of giving the plate the highest state of sensitiveness. [In preparing a daguerreotype plate, it is essential that the agent employed to act chemically on the polished silver surface should be in such a condition, that the afl&nity may be easily upset by solar agency. This is peculiarly the case with compounds of bromine, iodine, and chlorine. The balance of action is very easily dis- turbed, and hence the extreme sensibility of plates pre- pared with these compounds.—R. H.] Daguerreotype pictvires, plain and coloured. Repre- sentation of objects of art, scientific experiments on the efiect of the various rays, illustrations of the non-coinci- dence of the visual and photogenic foci, portraits from nature, taken by means of a prism placed before the object glass, in order to obtain a non-inverted picture. [The effects shown in these experiments illustrate the influences exerted by various media, natural and artificial, upon the solar rays. In some examples, the luminous rays are shown to act as protecting the plates from change, and in others the energetic power of the chemical rays (actinism) is separated to a great extent from the luminous rays (light). The general result is to prove that the radiations which give rise to photogi'aphic phenomena, although associated with light and heat in the sunbeams, are not identical with it in their action on material bodies.—R. H.] Photographic table; showing that photographic pro- ductions may be employed in various ways, as the orna- mental part of drawing-room furniture. Daguerreotype plates, perfectly plane and free from specks, forming true mirrors. [Daguerreotype plates are of copper, plated with silver; by placing two pieces of these metals in contact with very clean surfaces, and thus passing them through steel rollers, they are pressed so closely together that the full action of cohesive force is exerted between their particles, and they adhere with great firmness. The silver is sub- sequently polished, and by nice manipulation prepared for the use of the daguerreotype artist.—R. H.] Photogenic paradox, showing that what is light for the eyes is darkness for the photogenic action^ a frame containing, on one half, the portrait of the Queen, covered with yellow glass, and on the other half the portrait of Prince Albert, covered with deep blue glass, being represented on a daguerreotype plate. The result is that the yellow glass, although showing clearly to the eyes the picture of Her Majesty, has prevented the pho- toger^c action, and that the deep blue glass, although completely hiding the portrait of Prince Albert, the pho- togenic rays refiected by his picture through the blue glass have had the same action on the daguerreotype as if the engraving had been covered with transparent glass, or with no glass at all. This experiment proves why when light appears yellow on account of vapours existing in the atmosphere, the photogenic action is always so feeble and altogether impeded. Frame containing six specimens— (1) Light of a candle represented on a daguerreotype plate. (2) Image of a statue produced by the continued action of light on a daguerreotype plate, without any mercury ; the white forming the image is due to a fine precipitate of the silver combined with iodine, taking place under the action of light during the decomposition of the compound. (3) Negative portrait produced on a plate first exposed to light, and in that state having received the image of the camera obscura through yellow glass ; this proves the destructive action of the yellow rays in the photo- graphic operation, and that the yellow rays are not only antagonistic to the jihotogenic rays, but that they destroy the effect produced by the last. (4) Image of the sun produced during a clear atmo- sphere. (5) Image of the sun produced when it appears red through a fog. (6) Image of the moon produced during a clear night. Frame containing four specimens— (1) Image of the solar spectrum on iodide of silver. (2) Image of the solar spectrum on bromo iodine of silver. (3) Experiment of the focimeter, showing the differ- ence between the visual focus and the photogenic focus and their variation. (4) Experiment of the dynactinometer, showing the intensity of the photogenic light at any given moment, for various spaces of time in a geometrical progression. It is curious to observe the small difference produced by a double intensity. Image of clouds, taken instantaneously during bois- terous weather. Interesting study for artists. Frame containing the various colours of water co- lour, and another the daguerreotype representation of the first. This experiment shows that all the tints of blue, indigo, and violet produce white in photography, and that all the tints of gi'een, yellow, orange, and red, produce black, or rather that they hdve no photogenic action. 297 Henneman & Malone, 122 Regent St., Westmiiister— Designers, 1.

[Talbotype is the name applied, in the first instance, by Sir David Brewster, to the calotype pictures, his object being to distinguish by the name of the discoverer a photographic process which is little, if anything, infe- rior to the daguerreotype of the French. Paper being covered with a pure iodide of silver, is rendered sensitive to luminous radiations by being washed over with a mix- ture of gallic acid and nitrate of silver; and after the paper is taken from the camera, a dormant picture being produced upon it, it is developed by a second application of gallic acid. Sir John Herschel's cyanotype and chrysotype processes admit of many modifications, the former consisting of the change of a persalt of iron into a protosalt by the solar rays; the paper being then washed with a compound of North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. cyanogen (hence its name), the picture is represented in Prussian blue. The latter is in most respects similar, only that a solu- tion of gold is applied to the altered iron salt, and oxide of gold is formed in the place of Prussian blue. The chromatype is formed by washing paper with a mixture of the bichromate of potash and sulphate of copper; and after the picture has been faintly developed by the chemical principle of the solar beam, it is washed with nitrate of silver, by which a positive picture, or one with correct lights and shadows, is produced by one operation,—R. H.] 298 Hayward Brothers, 196 Blackfriars Road— Inventors and Proprietors. Gauge for measuring the thickness of metal and other plates, rods, or bars :—The principle of this gauge is the progressive movement of an accurately cut screw, to which is affixed a dial or circular index, which may be divided so that each space shall indicate that the screw has advanced the 1000th part of an inch, or otherwise marked as may be required, such as to show the aliquot parts of an inch, the weights per foot super,, &c,, of any particular metals, alloys, or other material, whose specific gravity is known, or with any arbitrary line of numbers, such as the ordinary wire gauge. The gauge which is exhibited has the outer circle set out, so that each minor division is equal to 1 oz, per foot super, of sheet-iron sp, gr, 7*68, the quarters and lbs, being shown up to 20 lbs, to the foot. The relative weights per foot super, of any other metals, &c,, may be found from the sliding or circular scale of equivalents which accompanies the gauge. The next circle has a line of numbers, which are suggested by the inventor of the gauge, as an improved scale for universal adoption; the advantages being that each whole number will tell its own particular value in lOOths of an inch, with fractions added, expressing lOOOths; and if written thus, " 12, 11^ &c,, could not be mistaken for the whole numbers, 12, 14, &c., as might be the case in ordinary commercial transactions. If placed with the decimal point only, for substances less than lOOths of an inch, the numbers might be written 01, 02 to 09, each representing 1, 2 to 9 thou- sandths of an inch respectively. The inner circle gives the numbers of the present Birmingham wire gauge, or (as commonly known) 'Hhe wire gauge," by which are measured iron, brass, and black steel-wires, iron and steel-sheets, and many other articles. If the weight per foot superficial of sheet-iron be required, the screw is turned to the left until there is more than sufficient room to admit the plate to be measured; then the instrument being supported with the fingers of the left hand in such a manner as to press the three points against the under side of the plate, and the thumb being placed on the plate to hold the gauge firmly, leaving the screw perfectly free, from the relative position which this bears to the three points, it will rise and descend at right angles with the face of the plate. Now the screw being turned slowly to the right, until its further progress is obstructed, in the outer circle on the dial, against the perpendicular line inside the case, will be shown the weight of the plate in ounces and lbs. to the foot superficial of sheet-iron, sp, gr. 7'68, For measuring wire, the screw should be turned to the right, until the wire cannot pass between it and the point immediately under it; then the wire being gently pressed between the two, and the screw turned slowly to the left until the wire passes, the number of the wire will be found in the inner circles on the dial. Sliding and circular scales of equivalents for weights:— If the weight per foot superficial of any other material than iron be required, it is placed in the gauge, and then on the outer circle is found the weight which it would be if sheet-iron; this weight being found on the slide, and placed against the "iron-sheet," opposite to the name of the material on the fixed part of the rule, on the slide, will be shown the weight per foot superficial of that which is under examination; and against all the rest, their respective equivalents. The scale is also applicable to all other calculations of relative weights: thiis, the weight of a casting in iron is found from the weight of the model, by finding its weight on the slider and placing it opposite to the article of which it is made; then on the slider opposite to cast-iron, mil be found its weight in this material, the customary allowance being made for the shifting of the model, and the contraction of the iron as it cools. If the whole numbers, instead of being called lbs., are taken as cwts,, then the ounces will each represent 7 lbs. If the lbs, are called ounces, then the ounces will represent drachms. Circular scaleIn this scale the same results are ob- tained by moving the various articles which are set off on the centre, opposite to the weights on the stationary margin. 299 Tyree Brothers, 44 Regent's Circus, Ficcadilly— Inventor.

A seven-feet achromatic telescope, four and a half inches in aperture, upon a new principle, in which the diificulty North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. of obtaining large discs of flint glass is overcome by the employment of a solid substitute. This substitute is a combination of a resinous sub- stance, with a very highly refractive and dispersive essential oil, and its application is extremely simple and effective, as well as comparatively inexpensive. From its homogeneous nature, it would appear that a finer tele- scope might be constructed with lenses of this substance, than with lenses of flint-glass; for it has been found a matter of extreme difficulty to produce the dense flint- glass perfectly homogeneous, and free from strijB. The substitute for flint-glass is highly transparent, of a pale straw colour, and is tmalterable by light air, moisture, and moderate heat; it fuses at about 200 degrees, and is applied in a fluid state between crown-glass lenses. It becomes solid on cooling, and remains so at all at- mospheric temperatures. Its refractive index and dis- persive power allow a shallower system of curves than flint-glass usually does, and consequently a better cor- rection of the spherical aberration. On account of the composition being in perfect contact with the two crown- glass lenses between which it is put, little light is lost by reflection at the four interior surfaces, which is not the case with the ordinary achromatic object-glass. [An achromatic glass is a compound lens formed of two kinds of glass, which act difierently upon the rays of light transmitted by them. The effect of their united action is to bring all the rays of light to a common focus, which ordinary single lenses will not effect. Objects seen through achromatic lenses are not surrounded with those fringes of colour which encircle them when ex- amined by a single lens. Hence the term achromatic. In the case in question, the disc of flint-glass is substi- tuted by a solid resinous substance.—R. E.] 317 Denton, J. B., Gray's Inn Square—Inventor.

Registered screw and sliding helicograplis for drawing volutes, scrollwork, and spirals of various kinds. The curves may be drawn on paper by means of an impression obtained from the disc by transfer paper; they may be drawn in ink or with pencil by the sliding helicograph. Fig. 1. Sliding helicograph. A heavy frame BB' slides upon a smooth straight bar AA', which passes through the guide sockets GG', forming part of the frame. Attached to the bar AA' is a point C, on which the instrument turns as a centre. Within the frame is a circular ring, carrying the axle of a small wheel or disc, D, fixed to one of its diameters. This ring, and the disc connected with it, may be placed at any angle with respect to the frame. The middle part of the frame is hollow, so that the wheel rests on the paper. By means of a gauge screw at E, and the carriage on castors FF', the instru- ment is adjusted to the proper level. A bar HK, which turns horizontally round K, a point in the frame, is pro- vided with a pen-and-pencil socket, so that the describing point may be placed at any point within its range. The centre of gravity of the frame is so arranged that its whole weight falls directly upon the wheel, and the edge Penrose's Registered Helicographs. of the latter is milled so as to ensure its taking a firm hold of the pajjer, while the frame slides on the smooth bar. The spiral motion results from the obliquity of the axis of the wheel with respect to the smooth bar AA' when the instrument is made to revolve about the jDoint C; the rate or pitch of the spiral depending upon the angle which the axis of the wheel makes with the frame. The graduations on the instrument are given on one side in degrees, and on the other in such angles as to make the longer and shorter radii in one revolution, to each other as the numbers 2:1, 3: 1 . . . 10: 1, &;c. The point C is placed at the same distance from AA' as the point where the circumference of the wheel touches the paper. The path of the wheel is the logarithmic spiral, when the instrument is made to revolve about the point C, and the pen P placed as near as possible to the wheel. To describe a vokite {fig. 3), the instrument is made to re- volve about its centre, when the wheel turns rovind, and causes the frame to slide vmiformly along the bar, until it carries the describing point as near to the centre as re- qviired. The frame being simply brought back along the bar, all the adjustments remaining unaltered, and the pen placed upon other points, a riband will be formed, preserving an uniformly decreasing thickness all the way. If a parallel line be desired, the pen must be shifted along the line of the axis of the wheel, and the latter made to traverse the same path as it did when the first line was drawn. In drawing a volute, or other figure composed of several lines, it will generally be necessary that all the lines should be drawn either towards the eye, or away from it; as owing to a change in the action of the guide- sockets upon the smooth bar, when the motion is re- versed, the angle is slightly affected. This does not impair the equiangular truth of each individual line. Fig. 2 is the screw helicograph; S, the fixed centre; and N the wheel which works upon the screw. 320 Elliott & Sons, 56 Strand—Manufacturers. Magazine case of drawing instruments.

Typhodeictor, (from tv^m; or tufose, and ^uxTm, or dcictes) or storm-pointer, an instrument for obtaining, by inspection, the bearing and relative position of a revolving storm or hurricane. Manufactured by Elliott & Sons. It is now a well-ascertained fact that great storms have a rotary motion like whirlwinds. The theory, commonly called the " law of storms," as made known in several publications by Colonel Reid, has been established from thousands of well-authenticated observations in different parts of the world, and extending over several years. It proves that during a gale of wind, particular"ly near to the tropics, the winds blow with the greatest fury round a common centre. At this centre, there is little or no wind, even a perfect calm, but there is, generally, a terrific and confused sea. The most violent and dangerous part of these revolving gales is somewhere near this central calm, the wind thei'e blowing the most fiercely, acquiring, it is stated, a velo- city of even 100 miles per hour. These storms sweep both land and sea, in certain parts of the globe ; their track and direction are pretty well known; and they ti-avel bodily from their place of origin to their destination at variable speeds; sometimes at not more than the rate of 4 to 6 miles an hour; sometimes, but seldom, at that of 20 to 30 miles an hour, although the wind within their range is blowing round with the fury above mentioned. If a ship, unhappily, becomes entangled within the range of these terrible gales, she is in great peiil ; many have foundered, and others have pursued their fearful course round and round, until they have been reduced to help- less wrecks, dismasted and v\^ater-logged. In the northern hemisphere, these winds blow round the compass from east-by-north to west, or the contrary way to the hands of a watch; whereas, in a southern hemisphere, it is just the reverse, blowing round as the hands of a watch would go. This principle must be always borne in mind, as the very foundation of all the information to be sought hereafter. On these most valuable data, instructions have been drawn up by Colonel Reid and others, how to ascertain the relative position of a gale, so as to know whether it is approaching to, or going from a ship, travelling by its side, or passing across its path. The following cut represents the Typhodeictor, Colonel Lloyd's Typhodeictor, The object of the instrument is, by graphic illustration, to show that, when the wind blows from a particular point of the compass, you can only be in one relative position in regard to the centre of the whirlstorm, so that, either the storm is approaching the ship, or the ship approaching the storm, and first of course encountering the outer edge. As a consequence of the law of rotation, the wind, sup- posing the whirl to be circular, must blow at a tangent, or at right angles to the point of the compass, where the ship or observer may be, but under diametrically opposite conditions, as far as regards the two hemispheres. Thus, in a northern hemisphere, if the wind blows east, the centre of the storm must be due south of the observer ; blowing north, the vortex east ; coming from the west, the centre of the gale is due north ; and, lastly, with the wind south, the gale is due west. Of course, in the intermediate points of the compass, the bearings are likewise different. In a southern latitude, the whirlstorm blows round just the contrary way. With an east wind, the storm centre bears north; with a north wind, west; with a west wind, south; with a south wind, east. Bearing in mind these facts, and with sea room, it is easy not only to avoid a hurricane, but to make it sub- servient in many cases to the ship's ultimtite course, Instructmis. When the barometer is falling and the wind increasing, set the large pointer of the instrument marked in red (set this to the wind), to the true point of the compass from whence the wind blows, corrected for variation. North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. The glass plate is to represent tlie wind: spin it, to the left when in a northern hemisphere, to the right in the southern, it will give a good idea of the course of the winds around the centre. Now lay the instrument down on the chart or map, with the N. point engraven on the metal corresponding with the north of the chart. Move the whole instru- ment backwards or forwards, always preserving the iden- tity of the two N. points until the ship's place on the chart is beneath the hand marked " ship's place"-—^o. 1 for the northern hemisphere, No. 2 for the other hemi- sphere. Unship the revolving glass, representing the circular, or nearly circular gale, push back the moveable centre and pivot, and beneath, is the centre of the storm nearly. A good sailor then knows his duty, and will give it a wide berth accordingly. Note.—The use of the several holes along the arms in the transparent horn marked " ship's place," is to adapt the instrument to any scale on a chart—bearing in mind that the usual diameter of one of these hurricanes or tor- nadoes is about 300 to 500 miles in extent. Example.—Suppose, in a southei^nhemisphere, inlat. 19°, and long. 60° 30' E., the barometer is falling, a swell is encountered, and the wind is S.S.E. Place the red arm of the instrument at S.S.E. on the ring ; lay the instru- ment on the chart, with the north point on to the meri- dian of the arm No. 2, at the nlxii'n place. The vortex of the gale is E.N.E. of the ship ; and, as its path is ap- proximately known, the most violent part of the hurricane would sweep over the ship if it remained in that place. A sailor will immediately get out of its way as he would from a dangerous reef. Again—if a ship coming from India towards Mauritius, and in the same spot, had encountered a N.W. wind and a troubled sea, the intelligent commander would imme- diately know that he was coming up to a hurricane, the centre of which was south-west of him; and if he pur- sued his course, and did not wait a few hours, he would run the risk of foundering. In a northern latitude the circumstances are just opposite. The following extracts from the Nautical Magazine for September, 1849, from a letter by the inventor, will show how the rise and pro- gress of these terrific gales may be made subservient to human intelligence:— The history of our first few days' adventures at sea, will go far to illustrate the perfect truth and beauty of the theory of circular storms. We sailed in our excellent ship, the Sir Robert Seppings, on Wednesday afternoon, the 4th of April. The gentle breeze just served to waft us clear of the shores, when it so far failed us, that even at noon of the next day we yet discerned Round Island. " Excepting our lack of wind (which we had not long to complain of), the weather was most lovely and serene, but very sultry ; and our next day (Friday) was ushered in with a most magnificent sunrise, very calm, but a heavy swell from the south-east. The day was passed in listless apathy, v/hen at dark, a clear moon and a fine and ftiir breeze gave us some energy, and gratified our best wishes. The ship increased her speed. The increase from a gentle whisper to a rapid gurgle of the water, and from that rather suddenly, to a continuous roar beneath the stern windows, with the increased motion and the clank of the tiller- chains, spoiled our slumbers. A look out on the lovely and apparently mild niglit, showed enough in the haze of the moon, and the ''burr "of the planets, with a fleetly- passing scud, to convince us that our dreams of mortal discomfort were about to be realized. However, Satur- day's light appeared with a spanking breeze, and our worthy commander in good spirits, with the ship close- hauled, and nothing to spare. Whatever might be our inward thoughts, w^e all appeared extremely lively in having so unexpectedly fovmd the trades. " It would not do : the increasing gale, the heavy cloiids, and the murky gloom to the south-east, the on- ward and hurried, and even furious, career of the scud, told us that we must prepare. There were no signs of the trades ; and the tremendous and irregular sea, the inexplicable heaping up of the troubled waves, the roar and whistling through the rigging, and the labouring of the ship, spoke to all our perilous position. It was be- coming so, at least; for although we were to windward of the Island of Cargados Garajs, and the intricate banks, we had run on sufficiently to make the heart of them a lee-shore; not so close as to make it an immediate cause of anxiety, but sufficiently near to leave us little choice for shaping our course in an approaching hurricane, of which, by the direction of the wind, we knew we were then steering for the centre. " The beautiful precision of Col. Reid's theory, so well worked up, and supported by Messrs. Thorn's and Pid- dington's labours, was now about to undergo a severe and practical test, through the very means they have so anxiously desired and invited, namely, the judgment and intelligence of a daring English sailor. We consulted the Horn card on the chart, and, with a radius of 400 miles for the hurricane, asked his advice. He gave it to us nobly. Our commander, Captain Stuart, saw his position and the approaching peril, and that he would be "hobbled." He knew his ship, too, and, after consulting the elements, computing the time he required to get a clear sea way, and asking his barometer leave, away he stood boldly on. All precautions were in the mean time taken—hatches down, dead-lights, &c. in, masts and yards housed, and all made snug, and the lower rigging of the heavy masts secured by preventers and frapped (swifted). So passed Sunday; we could keep our course no longer; the furious gusts and the mountains of seas overwhelmed us ; it would have been madness to stand on any longer ; one object was attained—we had secured ample sea room. A pull at the weather braces, and a rather easing the lee ones, made a fair wind of our dreaded enemy, and, with all necessary and seamanlike precaution, away w^e went by a N.N.E. course, for the outer edge or limit of the fearful sway of the gathering storm. An extract from Captain Stuart's log, a copy of which I send you, will show how we made a fair wind and a triie course towards our destination with such means ; it will show, in fact, how we employed a wind from south-east, or S.E. by E., to very nearly south, going round by the west, and wth a precision and a confidence quite wonderful even in these times. I observed sufficient to find that it was a gale ex- tending to a great radius, permitting us as it did to stand on so long." Extract from the SirE. Seppings' Log.

Patent power-engine, being a water-meter and a power- engine. Patent water-meter, capable of adjustment under varying pressure. Patent meter^ for measuring or weigh- North, Noeth Central, and South Central Galleries. ing the liquid by an overshot wheel, and working in com- pressed air without cock or valve. Patent water and spirit meter, self-acting, capable of adjustment under varying pressure. Patent spirit-meter, showing at the same time the quantity measured and its money value, in order to obviate mistake or fraud. The novelty of the power-engine consists in its being a water-meter and a water-pressure engine, and also in its being applicable to steam power without alteration of its parts. It is represented in fig. 1. The machine consists of an outer case or cistern, con- taining two collapsible measuring-vessels, connected by pipes or tubes to a four-way tap or slide-valve at the lower part, and at the upper part they are connected by a beam working on a centre, one end of which centre passes through the outer case, and gives motion to the indicating chain of wheels, and also to a beam and quadrant connected with driving gear. The liquid is ad- mitted through the upper part of the case, and with- drawn at the lower part, after having passed through the collapsible measuring vessel. Attached to the four-way tap or valve is an arrangement of rods or chains connect- ing it with a tube containing a weight, or a weight other- wise arranged, so that, as the measuring vessels rise and fall, the tap or valve is acted upon and the motion is reversed, the liquid is allowed to rise in the case until the measming vessels are immersed, and as the pipe by which the liquid is conveyed to the case is not connected with the four-v/ay tap or valve, the liquid flows freely in at all times, according to the pressure, thus the mea- suring vessels, having the same pressure without as within, are not exposed to undue strain. On tm-ning the tap to withdraw the liquid and start the machine, the measuring vessels to which the four- way tap or valve is open, will descend and empty the other measuring vessels, at the same time rising and filling until a certain point is attained, when, by the ac- tion of the weights and rods, the action of the tap or valve is reversed, and consequently that of the vessels also, and thus motion will continue as long as there is liquid to pass through, or until the tap is turned to stop it. The motion is converted into a circular one by the rack and pinion represented in fig. 2. The patent meter (fig 3), in construction, resembles the one before described, but has no external apparatus except the indicator. There is no loss of power in the liquid pass- ing through the meter to a high level. It is perfect in adjustment under varying pressures, and consists of two cylinders, containing a float in each; to these floats are attached a rod having a projecting pin at the upper part, with a pointer attached. A moveable beam is fixed over and between the cylinder, having rods and chains at- tached, to work the indicating chain of wheels, and to turn the four-way tap at the lower part of, and between the cylinders. On the top of the cylinders are placed moveable ketches and chambers, to allow of the escape of air as the cylinders are being filled, and to admit air as they are being emptied. Also on the top of each cylin- der there is an indicator, graduated to small quantities, having a slot in it through which passes the pin of the float-rod with the pointer, indicating the quantity drawn off as the float descends. Both cylinders having been filled with liquid, the one float is held down by the pin at the end of the rod, being under the ketch on the top of the cylinder; the other float is up and has forced the beam to an inclined position, by its rising as the cylinder filled. On turning the tap to withdraw the liquid, the float descends, showing in its descent, by the pointer on the scale, the exact quantity drawn off, until, in its de- scent, the pin at the top of the rod comes upon the ketch, forcing it back and passing by it; but in forcing it back, as the ketch is attached to the other ketch on the opposite cylinder by a rod, the float held down is now released, and rising through the liquid, reverses the beam, thereby turning the four-way tap, and indicating one measure of liquid passed. The empty cylinder is now filled, the float being held down as before, and so the motion and indicating go on as long as there is liquid to flow, or until the tap is turned to stop it. Fig. 1.

A planometer or self-acting calculator of surface. This instrument is used for measuring the area of figures dravm on paper, which it does in an accurate and rapid manner, the operator merely requiring to guide the point of a pen round the outline of the figure, however irregular it may be. It measures any figure, but its great advan- tage consists in determining the area of those of irregular forms, the measuring and calculating of which by scales in the common manner is a laborious process, and one re- quiring to be repeatedly performed and revised, in order to ensure minute accuracy, and to do away with the chance of arithmetical errors. Adapted for the use of surveyors of land and engineers, and also calculated to assist students of physical geography, of geology, and of statistics; to the latter it affords the means of indicating from the best maps, with little trouble, the extents of states and other subdivisions, and of correcting the approximations given in published tables. The mode of action is very simple. The rollers (A, A) are attached to the same axis, on which there is also a cone, which revolves with them; they are exactly of equal size, so that as they move up and down the paper; the axis of the cone is always parallel to the same line. The four friction rollers, of which three (B, B, B) are shown in the drawing, carry a frame and the tracing point to the right or left, parallel to that line which it is possible to trace on the surface of the cone parallel to the paper. Attached to this frame is the index wheel (I), the edge of which touches the cone in that line, and is made to revolve by it; consequently, the revolving motion of the index- wheel is in proportion to the motion of the tracer up or down the paper, multiplied by the right and left distance of the wheel from the apex of the cone; and therefore, when the tracer is made to describe any complete peri- meter, the whole rotatory motion of the index-wheel represents the algebraic sum of the products of ordinates to every point in that perimeter, multiplied by the incre- ment of their co-ordinates; or it is a measure of the included space. It is obvious that while this arrangement of motions should in theory indicate the product of the ordinating lines by the increment of their co-ordinates, the result of mechanical imperfections in the motion is also a product, so that very great care and nicety must be used in the construction of the instrument. The specimen exhibited is the first model made by the inventor's own hands; it performs its work nevertheless very correctly. It is true that the area of a three or four-sided figure will be found a little more accurately by a scale and calculation than by In order to use the planometer it is to be laid on the figure in such a manner that the tracer can be carried round its outline. The handle is to be held like a pen in writing, and the tracer is to be brought on the outline and pressed very slightly into the paper, so as to make a small mark. The index is to be read. The tracer is then to be carried along the outline until the mark be again reached. The index is to be read again, and the difference between the two readings is the area of the figure in square inches, tenths and hundredth parts, or the area may be got without subtraction, by setting the index at zero at the commencement, but the former is the preferable mode. When the boundary consists of straight lines the process is aided by using a straight-edged ruler to guide the tracer, as in drawing. The numbers engraved on the silver index indicate square inches, which are divided by lines into tenths, and fm-ther by a vernier in the common manner into him- dredth parts. This index reads up to 20 inches; the brass index carries on the divisions as far as 100 square inches. The instrument will measm^e any figure not exceeding \\ inches in breadth and 22 in length. If the figure is of greater size it is to be divided by pencil lines into parts, which are to be treated separately. The only adjustment required is, when the instrument is lifted out of its case, to make the two indices read zero at the same time, which is readily done by lifting up the brass one and turning it a little forward or backward. If the tracer be carried round the figure in the direction that the hands of a watch move, the first reading is less than the last. If it be carried in the opposite direction, the first reading is greater. This machine is represented in the annexed cut. the instrument. This may be tested by measuring thff same figure a few times each way, and observing the difference of the results; but on the other hand, an irre- gular or curved figure will be measured more accurately by the instrument than by the scale, and with infinitely less labour, which may be tested in the same way. This is not because the instrument measures the irregular figure more accurately than it does the simple ones, but because the scale measures them less so. The accura,cy meant is the absence of minute errors. In respect to great errors, caused by mio.taken figures in calculation, the in- strument is exceedingly preferable, even for simple boun- daries, as it is not liable to faulty arithmetic. 339 Bridges, George, Hampton Wick, Kingston— Inventor.

Solid bell-metal ivory arched sextant, divided to 10 seconds, combining the clearness of ivory with the dura- bility of metal. Owing to the extreme minuteness of the divisions on instruments divided to 10 seconds, the diffi- culty of reading them off is great. This is obviated by the use of ivory, as a black mark on a white ground pre- sents a much greater contrast than a self-coloured mark on metal. Improved action magnifier. In other instruments, the magnifier placed to facilitate the reading off the divisions moving in a smaller circle than the arch, distorts the divisions upon approaching the extremity of the vernier, by their being thrown out of the centre of the lens. This is avoided by the present plan. _ Improved spring hollow leg, thus to avoid the possi- bility of altering the adjustments of the instrument in placing it down. Improved ivory arch metal quadrant, possessing, in respect to the ivory, the qualifications of the before-men- tioned sextant: the ivory being dovetailed into the metal, cannot come out or shrink. 352 Williams, William, 57 Johnson Street, Somers Town—Inventor and Manufacturer, A radiator, or instrument for artists, designers, or draughtsmen, to enable them to draw lines radiating from a centre. 353 Adcock, John, 4: Marlborough Road, Dalston— Inventor.

The following cut is a O O Fox's Magnetic Balance. [In this balance the body is weighed against the force of magnetism, instead of that of gravitation, as in the or- dinary balance. The beam is itself a magnet, and its position is governed and adjusted by the repulsive action of another magnet. To adjust the instrument for use, it must be carefully levelled by the screws. The beam is then brought to the zero points by ttirning the deflectors. The weight and materials to be weighed are then introduced, and the sliding door closed; the beam being released takes its position with great accm-acy, showing the difference of the materials and weights by the small space passed over by the points of the needle; or weights may be added till the beam becomes perfectly horizontal,—R.

Fox's magnetic dip and intensity instruments, various sizes, for showing the exact dip of the magnetic needle, and for measuring relative magnetic intensities. See the annexed cut. Fox's Magnetic Dip and Intensity Instrument. This instrument consists of the following parts:— 1st, Of a horizontal plate, traversing within a graduated limb mounted upon a tripod of brass, and adjusted by screws to the true level, by a ground-glass spirit bubble. 2nd. Of a strong ring fixed at right angles to the former, within which are two graduated limbs, the outer one divided to 15'^, and the inner one to 30°, and so fixed to the instrument as to direct the eye in reading off" from the points of the needle, thereby avoiding error from parallax. 3rd. Of a solid back with a graduated limb outside, and an armature carrying a telescope, with verniers made to revolve thereon. 4th. Of a concentric ring, revolving in the centre of this, and carrying a plate with bracket and appendages for the needles. 5th. Of a magnetic needle attached to a strong steel axle, terminating at the extremities in very fine, but perfect cylinders cf hardened and polished steel; these fit into jewelled holes, which maybe moved around with the concentric ring, and which suspend the needle in a verti- cal plane, making it very steady, yet allowing it perfect freedom to settle in the magnetic dip. 6th. Of a small brass stud projecting behind, and so fixed as to form a continuation from the axle of the needle; against this, is employed a small ivory disc as a rubber, which counteracts the friction of the needle on its axle, 7th, Of a fine concentric brass pulley on the axle of the needle, over which passes a fibre of unspun silk, carrying a small hook at each end, for the purpose of testing magnetic intensities by the em|)loyment of small weights, a series of which are furnished with the instru- ment, 8th, Of a pair of small cylindrical magnets fitted into brass tubes, and made to screw into the armature behind; when the verniers of the armature are placed to read off the same degree as the points of the needle, then the points of these magnets are exactly opposite thereto, and North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. are employed in deflecting the needle from its tme posi- tion, and thereby determining magnetic forces, and also of correcting the dip. 9th. Of a thermometer, for registering temperature, when obsei-vations are made with the instrument. Lastly. Of an extra needle, to be employed for correct- ing errors, arising from accident or otherwise, in the needle generally used. This is effected by taking the mean of several readings of the dip of this needle, Avith the face of the instrument towards the east, moving the horizontal limb through 180°, and taking the mean of several readings west, then of reversing the poles of the needle, and again taking the mean of several readings east and west, and lastly of taking the mean of these two results; if these correspond with the dip shown by the needle regularly employed, then the dip is correct. A mean of several readings will generally give the dip within a minute or two. The instrument may also be employed for measuring angles in azimuth and altitude, or be used as a theodohte. In using it as a magnetic variation, or declination instrument, the true meridian can be ascertained in the usual manner, by means of the telescope and the vertical and horizontal movements. The magnetic meridian can be exactly determined by reading off the azimuths when the needle is vertical, or rather when one of its poles, or points, is at 90° facing north as well as south, and the mean of the azimuths gives the magnetic meridian. These observations may be multiplied by turning the face of the needle towards the back of the instrument, and also by employing the other needle to repeat the observations. The method of different azimuths may also be employed ad libitum, reading off when the point of the needle is 1°, 2°, &c., on each side of 90° in succession. In all cases the rubbing of the point of the stud, or pin at the back, should be continued till the needle has settled in its place of rest. It should be gently done, especially at the last. [Fox's dipping-needle deflector has now been employed by Ross, Stanley, Belcher, and others, for determining the variations of the dip, and intensity of magnetic force, for many years, with the most marked advantage; as it enables the observer to determine, with great accm^acy even at sea, various points of interest in connexion with the phenomena of terrestrial magnetism. The needle being brought to its true bearing at any spot on the earth's surface, a small balance is hung on the disc around the centre of suspension, and the weight required to bring the needle back to zero is the measure of the intensity of the magnetic force in action. For a detailed account, the Second Annual Report of the Royal Corn- wall Polytechnic Society should be consulted.—R. H.J Practical miner's theodolite, or improved dial and quadrant, used for underground and surface survepng, and constructed so as to answer all the pui^poses of the scientific and practical miner, wliile it may also be used as a surveyor's theodolite.

Daguerreotype portraits and pictures, with electrotype copies taken from them. [The daguerreotype picture being produced by a fllm of mercmy upon a silvered plate, there is necessarily an irregulaiity over its surface. If a plate thus prepared is connected mth a galvanic battery, and placed in a solution of sulphate of copper, the copper precipitated on the sur- face receives a most delicate impression of the daguerreo- type image. In addition to the differences produced, by the varying thickness of the mercurial film, there is not unfrequently a slight difference in the colour of the copper deposited over those parts thickly coated with mercury, and those over which the silver is exposed.— R. H.] 404a Hey wood, "William, 95 Duke Street, Manchester— Inventor. Experimental air-pump, with self-acting exhaust-tap placed in immediate contact with the bottom of the cylinder. 406 Beauford, R,, Hastings—Inventor. Registered daguerreotype accelerator. This consists of a properly-constructed lens, applied in a particular manner to the ordinary daguerreotype instrument. Its advantages are assumed to be as follow:— The actinic rays (which have their piimitive source in the solar beam, and which produce the photographic eflect) diverge from the object of which an image is to be produced on the photographic plate. These rays are made, by the action of the ordinary daguerreotype instru- ment, to converge to a point at a certain distance mthin the camera. By applying the accelerator, these rays are made to converge more rapidly; and, by putting the prepared plate more forward, a smaller image is procured by means of the accelerator than could be obtained without it. Hence, by means of the accelerator, the actinic rays are condensed into a smaller area, and the intensity of the effect is heightened. This latter fact is considered to include three others, namely—photogi-aphic effects can be obtained by the application of the accelerator, when, without its aid, the desired effect could not be obtained; as, for instance, on a dark and cloudy day. Again, all other things being the same, the image of the object is much more intense and well-defined T\ith the accelerator than without it— the flatness and deadness generally observable in photo- graphic portraits being exchanged for a roundness of surface, and a natui'al projection or "bringing out" of the parts, which constitute an effect highly pleasing. A third benefit secm^ed by the accelerator is observable in the diminished time required for producing a photo- graphic effect, owing to the actinic rays being intensified by the introduction of the accelerator. The time re- quired for producing a photographic picture with the aid of the accelerator, is only one-half or two-thirds of that requned ^ith the ordinary apparatus alone. A further advantage obtained is the economy of space. When the dagueiTeotj^je instrument is used without the accelerator, the artist, if he wish to obtain actinic rays of less divergence (which is often the case), must re- move from the object. In removing further, he must use (in most cases) a large instrument. Such incon- venience is avoided by means of the accelerator; for, North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. wlien this is stated to be applied, the rays can be at once refracted into the right course, whereby the increase of distance and the change of instrument are avoided ; the accelerator therefore favours not only the economy of space, but also the economy of means, the use of the larger instrument being in this case obviated. This will appear to be still further the case, when we consider that by applying accelerators of diffei^ent foci, we can produce portraits or views of proportional magnitudes; so that from one daguerreotype instrument both large and small [)lates can be produced. Another advantage of the accelerator is, that it prevents that distortion of the image often observable in photogra- phic portraits. Without the application of the accelerator, the image produced is of such a size that any exaggeration of relative magnitude, due to the superior forwardness of any part of the object, is magnified to an inconvenient extent. The image produced by the accelerator is reduced in size, and this exaggeration is reduced in an equal degree, so that it appears free from all distortion; by this means, the ingenious but troublesome contrivances hitherto adopted to avoid this source of annoyance are superseded. 407 GoGEBTY, Egbert, 72 Fleet Street—Inventor, Model of a pair of direct-acting steam-engines, with pad- dle-wheels.

B B, two armatures, wound with fine-covered copper wii-e, each placed on a separate axis, and moved by the levers C C, seen projecting through the case in fig, 1; the ends of the wire are carried from the armature through the pieces of ivory in the axle to the wood base, and from thence to the distant instiTiment, every motion of the lever and armature producing a current of electricity, the down- ward motion giving a current in one direction, and the upward motion a current in the opposite. The second part of the apparatus consists of a dial, containing the alphabet and certain marks corresponding to the motions of the needles on the face of tne dials; for instance, opposite the letter A is seen a single mark inclining to the left, signifying one motion of the left-hand needle; the letter B, two marks; letter C, three marks, signifying three motions of the same needle; the letter D, one mark to the right; E, two; and F, threej G, one right and one left; L, one left; and once both needles together, and so on. Under the dial are placed two electro-magnets D D, each having fom' poles, formed by two semicircular pieces of iron with a magnetic needle, suspended freely within, placed on the same axis as the coitc- sponding needle, or pointer, seen on the dial. The downward motion of the lever deflects the corre- sponding needles of all the instruments that may be included in the circuit, as well as its own; the needles remain so, imtil the lever is allowed to return by the force of the spring E, when the needles all re- turn to then' position, and this taking place with certainty, although the instruments may be at any distance. The current obtained from the apparatus represented in fig. 3 is very powerful, and capable of producing electro- chemical decomposition, and all the effects obtained from a powerful voltaic battery. The horse-shoe magnet A, with the revolving armature B, formed of hoop-iron, is placed on the mahogany case C, and the whole fixed on the iron framework, on which is suspended the large wheel and treadle, for giving motion to the armature by the pulley D; the magnet has soft caps, and is arranged the same as the telegraph, so that the poles of the mag- net are always connected with some part of the iron of the armature, and by that means it always retains its power. The two springs E E rub on the breakpiece F, which is so arranged that the ctuTcnt flows in one direction; the knob G moves a slide to divert the current to the mercury cup H for showing the spark ; the cam I moves the point on the spring in and out; the other knob is to make a shock with the two terminals L L. Electro-magnet capable of sustaining, when excited, 4 tons; the sphere of attraction extends much further by being made of iron hooping. Large steel permanent magnet, weighing 6i cwts., capable of sustaining about 1 ton. [The received theoiy of magnetism is, that the attracting power of the bar of steel, which we call a magnet, is due to the circulation of electric currents around the bar. It was discovered by Faraday, that when a metallic mass is North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. moved in proximity to the poles, a current is induced in it: upon this principle magneto-electric machines are con- structed. The soft iron armature, or keeper of the per- manent magnet, is fixed on an axle, which is made to re- volve by some mechanical contrivance, so that a continued and rapid reversal of its poles takes place. By this alone a magneto-electric disturbance is effected ; but for the purpose of accumulating the force, coils of copper-wire are fixed on the armature, and every time they approach or leave the poles of the magnet in the course of rotation, an induced current passes through the wire, and the reversal being extremely rapid, though the current is only instan- taneous, the result is what may be regarded as an unin- terrupted stream of electricity. The magneto-electric machine was first employed for telegraphic purposes, by Professor Wheatstone. The battery is however usually preferred in this country.— R.

The grants of Louis Philippe and Louis Napoleon to the Messrs. Brett, for the exclusive privilege of esta- blishing electric communication between France and England. This printing telegraph effects all the purposes of tele- graphic communication by a single wire only; printing in Roman, or other letters, recording in duplicate with the rapidity of a compositor, indicating by dials, or signalising by bells. The telegraphs in general use formerly re- quired 8 or 5 wires for vibrating the single or double needles only, and an independent wire in all cases for a single bell. It requires but a single wire, and no attendants for watching, copying, or transcribing. If adapted, at a General Office in London, for the recep- tion of correspondence from all parts of Europe, during the night when the offices are closed, and no attendant present, the whole of the communications of the night from the different capitals of Europe, will, on the arrival of the attendants in the morning, be found accurately printed ; and during the day, a signal-bell will announce when, and from where, a communication had been made, requiring attention only to reply to it. For sending a communication, it is required only to move the hand or strike the key of either of the com- municators, Nos. 3, 4, 5, by which a current of electricity is sent through the wire to the distant station, bringing into action the given or required letter on the periphery of a wheel, which instantly impresses itself on part of an endless scroll of paper, rolling printed from an aperture in the instrument, as the shocks or currents of electricity are conveyed by the action on the corresponding letters of the distant communicator. The telegraph is comparatively self-supplying as the colouring or printing material requires renewal only once a month, according to regulation. [The insulation of the wires for submarine electric communication is effected by covering them with gutta percha. They are covered in the following manner: a mass of gutta percha in a soft state is contained within a cylinder, and being acted upon by a piston, is driven out through a small die, in the centre of which is the wire. The latter being slowly drawn forward, becomes sur- rounded with an uniform covering of gutta percha, the thickness of which varies with the diameter of the die-hole through which it is compressed. The coated wire is then drawn through a trough of cold water and wound on a drum. Its insulation is afterwards tested by passing an electric current through it while under water, and ob- serving the deflection, or rather the absence of the deflec- tion, of a magnetic needle.—^R. E.] 430 Walker, C. V., Tonhridge—Inventor. Insulation of telegraph wires, exhibited as in situ on a pole-head, and detached on the table. The earthenware cone by which the telegraph wire is suspended is so shaped that the point of contact with the wire is small, is sheltered, and is far from the pole. The shackle frame used for insulating the wire at winding-posts is glazed iron; and its earthen cylinders are so constructed as to give a great length of insulating material. Insulation of telegraph wires in tunnels, exhibited as in actual use. The wire is covered with gutta percha by Mr. T. Foster's patent process, and is placed in grooved boards, prepared with varnish, and fixed against the tunnel walls. [Mr. Forster's process of covering telegraphic wires is as follows:—The gum, after being cleared, is macerated by steam machinery in a heated iron vessel. It is thence transferred, lump by lump, to a pair of heated grooved rollers, between which it is passed and pressed into solid cylinders three or four feet in length. It is now ready for the covering machine to which it is carried, and where it is used while warm and soft. This machine consists of two pair of hollow polished iron flapping rollers, heated, as occasion requires, by steam, and of a pair of small grooved cutting rollers. The cutting rollers vary both in the number and the size of the grooves, according to the character of covering required. The wire employed in the tunnels on the South-Eastern Eailway, and which are under the superintendence of Mr. Walker, is No. 16 copper, and is covered by six grooved rollers, ,six wires being covered at one operation. North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. The diameter of the wire, with its covering, being one- fourth of an inch. The two pairs of flatting rollers are placed one over the other, with a small interval between them. The six wires traverse the interval between the two pairs of flatting rollers, and pass between the six grooved cutting rollers with one of the sheets of gutta percha above them and another below, and appear on the other side as a perfect band of six covered wires. They are pulled apart when single wires are required, or left undisturbed when required in a band.—J. G.] Moveable studs, fitted to Cooke and Wheatstone's electric telegraph, to counteract deflections of the needle arising from meteorological phenomena. When the needles are deflected by extraneous causes, so as to touch the ivory studs, or stops, the latter are to be moved in the direction of the deflection, until they are again made equidistant. Compound needle, consisting of several small needles secured on an ivory disc. Bell transferrer, an ebony cylinder so inlaid with brass and combined with springs as to transfer the telegraph bell to the up or the down side of an intermediate station, according as that station is talking down or up the line. Let ABC be a telegraph wire of any length, having instruments at A, B and C; B being the intermediate station, and having the bell and the needle on the said wire. If the bell is so connected as to be on the A side A B C □ □ □ of the needle at station B, when B and C are in commu- nication, it is required to transfer it to the C side, when A and B are in communication; so that while B talks to A, with the rest of the line cut ofi", he can hear if C rings; or while he talks to C, he can hear if A rings. This efiect is produced, by selecting some convenient place inside the instrument for dividing the wires, and placing springs at these spots. These springs, six in number, press, three above and three below, on brass laid in the ebony cylinder, visible on the left side of the instrument. When the word up, on the stud in front of the instru- ment is vertical, the springs are connected in pairs, as 1, 2; 3, 4; 5, 6, When the word up is horizontal, the springs are connected in pairs, as 1, 4; 5, 3; 2, 6, thus transferring the bell to the other side of the needle. The same operation that transfers the bell to the C side of B, cuts ofi" the C half of the line, by the other springs not concerned in this description. Branch double turn-plate, being a box-wood cylinder, so inlaid with brass and combined with springs as to enable a junction station to put a branch line of telegraph in communication with either direction of the main line; and completing a perfect circuit for the other portion of the main line.

Specimens of wires for a submarine telegraph, pro- tected by means of a covering of wire cable. [Electric telegraphs admit of a great variety of mecha- nical arrangements, by which the modes of signalling are modified. In all, the electric current does the work; in some, by deflecting the magnetic needle directly, and in others, by inducing magnetism in soft iron, the force of which acts upon some clock-like arrangement, and thus, by a mechanical contrivance, gives the required signal. Most printing telegi^aphs are of the latter cha- racter. In some, when connexion is made and broken with the battery, electro-chemical decomposition is effected at the opposite end of a line; in others, letters actually inked by mechanical means are made by the induced magnet to print, by being pressed on paper. In this series these several varieties are shown. The specimens of wire for a submarine telegraph are de- signed to overcome the action of breakers, which proved fatal to the telegraph across the Channel, than which nothing otherwise could be more successful; if the wires can be buried deep enough in the sands to place them below the breaker action, there would be no difficulty in communicating readily with the Continent. —R, H.] 433 Bakewell, Fred. Collier, 6 Haver stock Terrace, Hampstead—Inventor and Patentee. Patent copying electric telegraph, for transmitting fac- similes of the handwriting of correspondents, so that their signatures may be identified. Its objects are, authentication of communications, increased means of secresy, rapidity of action, and economy, as it requires only a single wire. The transmitting and the receiving instruments are counterparts of each other. Trains of wheels impelled by weights are employed to impart equal movements to cylinders on each instrument. Screws placed parallel to the cylinders, and rotating with them, serve to carry metal styles, which press lightly on the cylinders, from end to end. The metal styles are insulated by being attached to ivory arms connected with brass nuts that traverse on the screws. One of the poles of the voltaic battery is connected with the cylinder of each instrument; the other pole of the battery is connected with the metal styles, so that the electric current may pass from the styles to the cylinders. The message to be transmitted is written on tin-foil with a pen dipped in sealing-wax varnish, and it is placed on the transmitting cylinder. When the instrument is set in motion, the metal style presses on the writing as the cylinder revolves; by which means the electric circuit is broken every time that the varnish interposes. Upon the cylinder of the receiving instrument, paper, moistened with an acidulated solution of prussiate of potass, is placed, and the metal style employed being a piece of steel wire, the electro- chemical decomposition that occurs whenever the electric current passes, produces a line of Prussian blue on the paper. If there were no varnish-writing to interrupt the electric current, the revolution of the cylinder, and the gradual advance of the marking point by the screw, would draw a number of continuous blue lines spirally on the paper, but so close together aa to appear parallel. The North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. interruptions, however, caused by the interposition of the varnish-writing on the transmitting cylinder, break the electric circuit in those points, and cause a cessation of marking whilst the style is passing over each letter. As the style traverses several times over each line of writing, the successions of interruptions, by corresponding with the forms of the letters, produce an exact copy of whatever is written or drawn on the tin-foil message; the wiiting appearing of a pale colour on a ground of closely- drawn blue lines. The regulation of the separate instruments, so that they may rotate exactly together, is effected by an electro-magnet or electro-magnets brought into action by local voltaic batteries. When a single wire only is used, contact with the local voltaic batteries of the electro- magnets is made and broken by pendulums, each instru- ment having a pendulum in connexion with it; by which means the electro-magnets act at regular and quickly- succeeding intervals. Levers, attached to the armatures of the magnets press against eccentric wheels fixed upon one of the arbors of each instrument, and retard the motion of the mechanism so long as they bear against them. The instruments are thus regulated at every beat of the pendulums by having their speed retarded. The degree of retardation depends on the amount of weight applied to impel the cylinders; care being taken that the ungoverned speed should be always somewhat greater than it is required to be, to allow for the regulating action. When there are two wires employed, the re- gulation of the instruments may be effected without pendulums by bringing the regulating magnet of one instrument into action by a make-and-break contact- wheel fixed on to a corresponding arbor of the other instrument. To assist in adjusting two distant instru- ments, a ''guide line" is employed, which consists merely of a strip of paper placed perpendicularly to the lines of writing on the transmitting instrument. When the corresponding instruments are set in motion, the interruptions of the electric current by the guide line indicate exactly, on the paper of the receiving instrument, how much faster or slower the transmitting instrument is moving; and by adding or taking ofi" weights at the receiving instrument, its average speed may be adjusted to that of the transmitting one, so that the marks or gaps in each successive line drawn on the paper may fall under each other. When the instruments are regulated by pendulums, the guide-line serves to show whether they are beating together; and thus affords the means of adjusting them with great accuracy. The following cut shows the telegraph;— Bakewell's Copying Electric Telegraph. a, the cylinder of one of the instruments; 6, the metal style, connected by the wire g, with one pole of the voltaic battery; o, the ivory arm to which the metal style is attached, and which insulates the style from the screw; c, the screw on which the style traverses as the cylinder revolves; d, cog wheels to turn the screw; e, a fan to regulate the speed of the instrument; /, the impelling weight; h, the wire connected with the distant instru- ment.

Series of glass retorts, beakers, evaporating basins, and other glass and porcelain vessels for chemical purposes, electro-coppered. Vessels thus coated accelerate solution and distillation, and require a minimum of heat to con- duct these processes, while the copper conducting the heat equably over the surface of the glass, preserves it from fracture and unequal expansion, and at the same time protects it from external casualties. The cut repre- sents several of these vessels. Edwards' Copper-covered Glass Apparatus, [The covering of glass and porcelain vessels with copper was first exhibited at the French Exposition in 1844. These vessels excited great curiosity, and occasioned much perplexing speculation as to the mode of their production. The coating of metal was applied in so smooth, perfect, and uniform a manner, as to render it evident that none of the ordinary methods of metallurgy had been adopted in their manufacture. These vessels were coated by elec- trotype process, and similar apparatus is now made for chemical purposes in England. The surface of the glass or porcelain is first varnished, then brushed over with bronze-powder, in order to form a conducting surface on which to deposit the copper, and the vessel is then placed in the decomposition-cell, in connexion with a battery. In a few days the whole external surface is covered with bright metallic copper.—R. E.] 438a Rundell, W. W., Falmouth—Inventor and Manufacturer, Carbonized cast-iron magnet.

Impressions and specimens of seals, executed by ma- chinery. 439 Hearder, J. N., 34 George Street, Plymouth— Inventor and Manufacturer. Cast-iron compound horse-shoe permanent magnet, ap- plicable to purposes requiring high magnetic power. The application of cast iron is new. This magnet consists of 24 plates, 2 inches wide, fg of an inch thick, cast in the form of a horse-shoe, which is 16f inches long from the poles to the outside of the bend; the poles are 1^ inches as under, and the inside of the bend 3| inches wide. The 24 plates weigh about 72lbs., and are fastened together with three bolts and nuts. The poles are capped with cast iron, which concentrates the magnetic power in an ex- traordinary manner. The construction is very simple: the bars are cast from No, 1 pig iron as hard as green sand can make them, and they require no preparation to adopt them for magnetization. The soft-iron caps render the grinding of the poles unnecessary. The attractive power of the magnet is scarcely inferior to that of a steel magnet of the same dimensions, whilst the economy in construction is nearly as 4 to 1; the cast-iron magnet weighing 72 lbs., lifts 140 lbs; Powerful horse-shoe steel magnet, of 100 plates, adapted for purposes requiring high magnetic power. It weighs about 39 lbs,, and will support nearly 250 lbs, with a round-faced keeper. [The Rev, Dr, Scoresby appears to have been the first to employ thin sheet steel for the construction of powerful permanent magnets. His idea being that, as magnetism appeared to reside principally on the surface of the metal, by multiplying the number of surfaces, the power of the compound bar would be increased. Mr. Hearder, many years since, constructed powerful magnets from cast iron, and was certainly the first to use that material for the purpose ; and the power which can be induced is certainly very great with the soft-iron caps.—R, H,] Medico-galvanic apparatus, with graduated regulator, employed to administer galvanic electricity. Its improved construction consists in the proper adjustment of the length and thickness of the generating or primary coil to the electro-motive force of the battery, by which the battery-surface is much reduced, and a higher amount of magnetism produced in the iron core. 440 Joule, James Prescott, F.R.S., Acton Square, Salford—Inventor, Electro-magnet, constructed of a plate of well-annealed wrought iron, tapered to the poles.

NoRTJi, North Central, and South Central Galleries. Surface electro-magnet, consisting of a thick piece of wrought iron, enveloped by a bundle of copper wires. Armature to the same, A battery of moderate power produces such a powerful attraction between the electro- magnet and its armature, that a weight of more than one ton has to be applied in order to draw them asunder. [The peculiarity of the former electro-magnet, which is adapted for diamagnetic experiments, the magnetization of steel bars, &c., consists in the great comparative breadth of the iron core, by means of which the full effect of the coils of wire is secured, even in the case of their being removed to the distance of one or two inches from the surface of the iron. The form of iron adopted admits of a much greater quantity of electro-magnetic coils, and consequently of a much greater magnetic effect, than can be obtained from the usual cylindrical shape. The peculiarity of the latter, or surface electro-magnet (which is the first of the kind ever constructed), consists in the comparatively great surface of contact which it presents to its armature. The principle of its construction, and of that of others of its class subsequently constructed by the exhibitor and other parties, is derived from the law of electro-magnetic action discovered by the exhibitor, viz., that the maximum attractive power of an electro- magnet for its armature is about 300 lbs. for each square inch of tranverse section of the magnetic circuit.] 441 Waite, George, 2 Old Burlington Street—Inventor.

Apparatus for the chemical analysis of urine. Portable collection of chemical apparatus for elementary expe- riments. Set of apparatus for testing the hardness of waters invented by Professor Clark. [Clark's test for the hardness of water consists in adding a standard solution of soap to water until it produces a lather, the quantity used indicating the degree of hard- ness. Most waters contain lime in the state of carbonate, with some sulphate of lime, and chloride of sodium. The waters supplied to London give these substances in the following proportions, according to the analyses of Mr. Richard Phillips:— Brentford. Barnes. Chelsea, Carb. oflime . . . 16-000 16-900 16-500 Sulph. of lime, chl. of sodium 3-400 1-700 2-900 Dr. Clark has shown that a certain measure of his test, solution of soap, is required to combine with each grain of carbonate of lime, and that the whole of it which is pre- sent in the water must combine with the soap before a lather will form. The apparatus exhibited is for measuring the soap solution with great accuracy, and for adding it drop by drop to the water under examination. The Board of Health requires that every new source of water supply should be thus examined, and the number of degrees of hardness stated according to Dr. Clark's scale. Some che- mists have lately pointed out sources of error in this pro- cess, but Dr. Clark states these may be avoided by care.— R. H.] Chemical thermometers for corrosive liquors.

Registered gas-carriers' apparatus, rendering gas port- able. A drum revolving horizontally, by means of a spring between the ceiling and floor of the room above, round which several feet of glazed vulcanized India- rubber tubing are coiled, which communicate with the main gas-pipe of the house. When in use, one end of the flexible tube is attached to a portable lamp-stand, which, when carried to a distant part of the room, is allowed to recede by the unwinding of the flexible tube; when the light is brought back, the revolving drum winds up the tubing. When out of use, the tubing is detached from the lamp-stand; it is then immediately coiled up by the drum. 466 Taylor, Thomas, 17 Fleet Street, Dublin—Inventor. Pneumatic battery, for igniting gunpowder in the blast- ing used in mining operations. Each cell is filled with sulphuric acid. The operator, blowing through the gutta-percha tube, forces the sulphuric acid out of each cell through the short siphon tubes ; it then comes in contact with a compound of the chlorate of potass, loaf sugar, and gunpowder, when an explosion takes place. The gutta-percha tube may be of any length, thus placing the operator in perfect safety. 467 KiRKMAN, Joseph, & Son, 3 Soho Square, and 9 Dean Street—Manufacturers.

The word bassoon is derived from hass sound, and fagotto from fagot, it being composed of several pipes hound together. —H. E. D.] 528 Snell, Robert, Ball's Pond—Inventor and Manufacturer. Seraphine, with bichromatic or double scale of notes, producing perfect harmony in every key, without the aid of temperament; the improvement effected by an octave of pedals, one being put down, corrects the scale for the key required. [That the musical scale cannot be perfectly tuned on instruments with fixed sounds, is a fact that can only be stated, vdthin the limit of a note; temperament signifies the equal adjustment of the imperfection of the scale on an organ, or similar instrument.—H.

Double-action harp, vnth additional notes, Gothic pillar embellished in ultra-marine and gold, and music-stool, desk, and stand. [The double-actioned harp possesses greater powers of modulation than that with the single action, and can also produce enharmonic passages ; in which respect it is a perfectly unique instrument, excepting those of the violin class. Every major and almost every minor key can be distinctly produced on it. The exceptions arc A D% and GC, minors.—H. E. D.] North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. 532 Simpson, Thomas, Sea-Lion Hotel, Hanley-in-the- Fotteries—Inventor. Norma virmm, or musical accentuator, intended to supersede the metronome. It marks the first note in every bar, loud and distinct, in all measures of time; and gives in weaker beats the sectional divisions. [The word metronome" is derived from fiir^ov, measure ; and vof/.os, division. The instriTment was in- vented by John Maelzel, in Austria, 1814, The more modern kinds of this instrument exhibit an improvement analagous to the principal feature of the Norma Virium, viz., a distinct separation of the first, from the following beats in a bar, which is effected by the striking of a small bell at the first beat.—H. E. D.] 533 Jones, Bassett, Cardiff, Wales—Designer and Maker, Grand triple-strung Welsh harp, woi-ked in Welsh plane wood, carved in bold relief, the designs being emblematic of the country, in oak, mistletoe, &c., with two dragons in front, cut in round relief. On the comb is an equili- brium bearing-plate, to cause equal tension on the three rows of springs. [The triple-strung Welsh harp was an ingenious but laborious contrivance to enable the performer to take semitones, and to modulate into different keys. It is now superseded by the pedal harp, particularly that with the double action, invented by Erard. The two outer rows of strings are diatonic and unisonic: the centre row com- prises all those sounds necessary to complete the thirteen semitones belonging to each octave. This instrument is described by Mersennas in his " Harmonic Universelle," 1636,—H, E. D,] 535 SiccAMA, Abel, I'^h^ Fleet Street—Inventor, Patentee, and Manufacturer. Diatonic flutes, retaining the old system of fingering while affording numerous additional fingerings, on a system strictly based upon acoustic principles. Their tone is said to be powerful and brilliant. They are easier of execution, and therefore require less exertion to play than the ordinary flute. There are three middle C's on this flute, all of the same quality, and perfectly in tune. [There are two scales commonly understood—the Diatonic, from Ita, by, wad tovos, the tone; and the Chro- matic, from xgoi^a, colour: the first proceeding by tones and semitones, and the second by semitones alone. But there is a third scale, the Enharmonic, that is not so well known. It can be thus explained : Notes have their pitch determined by a certain number of vibrations. By this we find that C # and D I', though one sound on a keyed instrument, have distinct sounds in reaty. The Enharmonic scale then is a succession of every possible note according to its vibratory intensity, e. g. G D Ci, D, E b, D#, E, and so on,—H. E. D,] 536 RuDALL, Rose, & Co., 38 Southampton St., Strand —Proprietors and Manufacturers. Richard Carte's patent flutes, with new and old finger- ing, made of silver or other metal, or of wood; possess- ing all the latest improvements arising from equidistant and equal-sized holes and open keys.

Patent flute, constructed on the principles first in- troduced by Boehm, viz., equidistant and equal-sized holes, and open keys. The patent was granted for a parabola-shaped head-joint, and cylindrical body-joints. Improved ordinary flute—its merits are said to consist in the improvement of the tone, arising from the novel proportions of its conical bore. The fingering and arrangement of holes and keys remain as usual. 537 PdRDY & Fendt, 74 Dean Street, Soho— Manufacturers. ^ Violins, violoncellos, double bass.

A grand church organ of the first class, consisting of three full rows of keys or manuals, from CC 8 feet, to F in alt., and an independent pedal organ of two octaves, and a third, from CCC 16 feet, to E; two bellows, hori- zontal, with double feeders of wind of different weights, and six composition pedals for changing the stops, which are 39 in number,—13 in the great organ, 9 in the swell, 8 in the choir, 4 in the pedal organ, and 5 for coupling the manuals, and the manuals and pedals together. All the latest improvements are adopted in the construction of this instrument. The case is of novel character, made of solid oak, carved with double impost mouldings, supporting four towers of speaking-pipes, which are deco- rated: the whole from designs by Mr. Albert Howell, architect. A small church organ, with one manual, from CC 8 feet, to F in alt., and pedals of two octaves and two notes, in extent from CCC 16 feet, to D, with Bourdon stop. The whole of the manuals are enclosed in a Vene- tian swell, and there are two pedals for changing the stops. The case is of Gothic design, made of deal stained and varnished. Patent improved church barrel-organ, playing any number of tunes, without the necessity of shifting the barrels in and out of the instrument. The change from one tune to another, on whatever barrel, is made in the simplest manner possible, and an index always shows the name of the tune about to be played. 556 Hill, W., & Co., Tottenham Court i^oac?—Designers and Manufacturers. Finger organ with two sets of channels; compass from CC to F, with separate sound-boards on extra pressure of wind, containing a reed stop of great power, separate pedal sound-board of two octaves and a half from CCC; the whole of the channels placed in a swell box; the compo- sition and drawing of the stops being on a new principle. This organ contains two manuals, a great organ of ten stops, and an echo organ of five stops. Both are enclosed in sv/ell-boxes, the echo organ being in a box which opens into the larger one. The mechanism is upon an entirely new construction, and is much simplified. The stops are drawn by means of keys, to which is attached the pneumatic apparatus, so that a trifling pressure of the finger only is required to change them. The composition pedals also, by acting upon the above keys, are remark- ably light, and effect the changes in the stops with much greater ease than those on the old plan. A new system of valves has been introduced to the great organ, which secures lightness and equality of touch. The organ also contains a new stop, of inmaense power and volume of tone, called the 'Huba mirabilis," the invention of the exhibitors.

Enharmonic organ ; presenting the power of executing with the simple ratios in twenty keys, with a correction for changes of temperature. By Lt.-Colonel T. PeiTonet Thompson. The object of this instrument is, first, to determine the proportions which make music in a single key, and then to transfer the same proportions to a variety of keys, beginning from some of the previously established sounds as a new key-note. The same process was attempted by the ancients, constituting what they called the Enharmonic; but it broke down and was finally abandoned, in consequence of making an unfortunate division for a single key. The leading principle involved in this instrument, is, that the Dissonances are double, or have each two forms, one of which makes harmonious combinations with the Fifth of the Key and the Thirds, and the other with the Fourth and the Sixths. Hence, if the one set is coloured white and the other black, the similarity of colour will help to point out the connexion. The best way of illustrating this will be to refer to the lowest or C board, in the repre- sentation of the finger-boards annexed, taking no notice for the present of the smaller manuals resembling the keys of a flute. The key-note C is coloured red ; which in the Plate is represented by longitudinal lines, as done in Heraldiy. The same process is applied on the middle board for the key of E, and on the uppermost board for the key of D\ When this was done, it was plain that by the addition of a comparatively small number of manuals, several more keys might be prodviced ; which was accordingly done, by the addition of the manuals which, from the lik^ess formerly described, may be called the Jiutals. A further addition was made of the manuals on the middle and uppermost boards, which from their form may be denominated buttons; giving the power of making E#, Bit, and F x. There is also a provision of spare pipes for Gb and Cb, by means of which preparation may be made for playing in five and in six fiats. On the whole, the number of keys amounts to twenty, extending from eight sharps (or as generally called, six sharps and a double sharp) to six flats. In many cases, there are keys for the two forms of the same note, which may be called for according to circumstances. The different sounds resulting, are dis- played in the Table which follows (next page). Though adapted to 53 divisions, they are not the sounds of the division into 53 equal intervals, but the accurate sounds, as may be proved by examina- tion of their Measures. A line drawn over any number of figures implies that they form a recurring decimal. Though the appearance of such a number of sounds is formidable, it has been proved by experience, that three weeks are sufficient for acquiriTig the same facility as on an ordinary instrument; and North, North Central, and South Central Galleries. directions are appended to the instrument, by which any performer who will consent to follow them may, at a first sitting, perform with inconsiderable risk of error in a limited number of keys. The tuning is effected by means of what is called a Phonometer, being a monochord with a wire of four feet, stretched by a weight capable of very accurate adjust- ment. The compass is what is called the German scale, or from C C to / in alto. The pipes are of wood, of what is called Stopped Diapason, and each is tuned with a screw, the whole number being 155, besides those which may be denominated Exchangeable. The swell is divided in two at middle c, and each part has a quick movement and a slow. The dimensions of the instrument are, in extreme height 8 feet b\ inches English measure (7 feet 11 inches French) ; length 7 feet 5 inches ; depth 3 feet 7 inches.
