Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, THEATRUM MARCELLI (search)
the building had begun by that time, although Petronius Maximus, prefect of the city, set up statues within it in 421, and one inscribed pedestal was found in situ in the eighth century by the compiler of the Einsiedeln Itinerary (CIL vi. 1650). Hulsen has shown (RPA i. 169-174; HCh 226 (S. Caeciliae de Monte Faffo, cf. 337 Cf. also BC 1925, 64. ) that the name templum Marcelli still clung to the ruins in 998, that the Fabii or Faffi were in possession of them as early as the middle of the twelfth century, and held them until the end of the thirteenth, when they were succeeded by the Savelli. It is very doubtful, on the other hand, whether the Pierleoni had any connection with the theatre. In 1368 it came into the possession of the Savelli family, and in 1712 into that of the Orsini. The present Palazzo was built by Baldassare Peruzzi for the Savelli in the early part of the sixteenth century, and stands upon the scaena and a large part of the cavea of the theatre (BC 1901, 52-70

nce. In the engagements of the 17th and 18th of June, in order to obtain the position held by the Ninth Corps at the time of the explosion, the three white divisions lost 29 officers and 348 men killed; 106 officers and 1851 men wounded; and 15 officers and 554 men missing,--total, 2903. From the 20th of June to the day before the crater fight of July 30th these same divisions lost in the trenches 12 officers and 231 men killed; 44 officers and 851 men wounded; and 12 men missing,--total, 1150. These casualties were caused by picket and shell firing, and extended pretty evenly over the three divisions. The whole of General Willcox's division was on the line for thirty days or more without relief. General Potter's and General Ledlie's divisions had slight reliefs, enabling those officers to draw some of their men off at intervals for two or three days at a time. In the engagement of July 30th the four divisions of the Ninth Corps had 52 officers and 376 men killed; 105 officer

ing power of his whole corps was soon brought into play and skilfully applied. The Confederate resistance was desperate, and the slaughter upon both sides great; Lawton and J. R. Jones were both borne off wounded within an hour. Jones was succeeded by Starke of Louisiana, who soon after fell pierced by three balls and survived but a few moments. Col. Douglas, commanding Lawton's brigade, was killed, and five out of six regimental commanders, the brigade losing 554 killed and wounded out of 1150. Hays's brigade lost 323 out of 550, including all of his staff and every regimental commander. In Trimble's brigade, Col. Walker, commanding the brigade, was wounded, with one of his staff, and the brigade lost three out of four regimental commanders and 228 men out of 700 present. Early's, the remaining brigade of Ewell's division, had been sent about dawn to the extreme left, as a support to Stuart's cavalry, which occupied a position whence our artillery could annoy the flank of Hook
d chute, the series of settling-vats, the trough with slats or rifles, the vertically reciprocated sieve, are types of machines which have many varieties and names. The nomenclature of mining is very fall, but a large number of its terms are local. In England the miners of Derbyshire and Cornwall have, to some extent, their own sets of terms, and these differ in many respects from those which obtain in the coal regions. See specific list under mining. Edrisi, the Arab geographer (about 1150), the friend of Roger II. of Sicily, speaks of the employment of quicksilver in the gold-washings made by the negroes of Sofala as a long-known practice, and the use of this metal in gathering gold has increased with the lapse of time. See amalgamator. Gold-wire. Gold-wire, so called, has usually a core of silver, and is made by preparing a round bar of silver, plating it thickly with gold, and then drawing it through a series of holes of gradually decreasing diameter. The gold may

ges. For cutting fine lines, the edge is sometimes made almost as thin as that of a knife, but for some purposes the tool is made nearly spherical. The tools with rounded edges cut more rapidly, and are used for removing the bulk of the material, while those with flatter edges are employed for smoothing the surface. To prevent the stem from interfering with the action of the tool in this case, it is made tapering. The tools seldom exceed 16 of an inch in diameter, and are made as small as 1150 of an inch. Their surfaces must be smooth, as any irregularity tends to chip off pieces of the stone. The diamond powder is mixed into a paste with oil, is kept in a box, and is applied to the edge of the tool as required, being moistened from time to time with oil of brick or sperm oil to keep it from drying on the tool. The stones are shaped to their general form by the lapidary, and are frequently set before being engraved: if set, they are inserted in a notched piece of cork or bambo
its natural motion as a water-wheel forms the centrifugal or centripetal pump, according to whether the turbine be on the inward or the outward flow principle. See centrifugal pump; cen-Tripetal pump; propeller pump, Fig. 3977. Ruthven's English patent of 1849, for a hydraulic ship propeller, acting by a steam-driven turbine-wheel, ejecting the water aft, was tried in 1866 on the Water-Witch. It was termed the nautilus propeller (see page 1515). See also hydraulic propeller, pages 1149, 1150. Several tables have been constructed to indicate the powers and rates of wheels of varying diameters under different heads. They contain the sizes of the wheels in inches of diameter: the head in feet; the cubic feet of water per minute; the number of revolutions per minute; the horse-power. Tur′bine-dyna-mom′e-ter.
