bedded by alloys in the metallic stock, to form a cutting-tool (b′ c′, Fig. 1631). See carbon tool-points, p. 461. In his certificate of addition, March 31, 1855, he states that the diamonds are to be inserted in holes drilled for them in the end of the drill-rod, the metal being battered down around them to form a bezel. The drill-bar slides vertically, and is rotated by bevel-gearing. He refers to the need of water on the drill. Diamond tools. Leschot in 1860-64, and Pihet, in 1866, devoted some care to the matter; the latter introducing the annular drill-head (shown at a′, Fig. 1631), which is a steel ring studded with black diamonds. The heads of the drills used at the Mont Cenis Tunnel, and the excavations by General Newton at Hallet's Point, East River, N. Y., were of this character.

ning. Several compounds based on gun-cotton are used in the arts, as in collodion for photography, surgery, etc. Nitro-glycerine, which is pure glycerine treated with nitric acid, was discovered by the Italian chemist Sobrero in 1847, but was very little used until 1863, when it was utilized by Nobel for blasting. The explosive energy of this compound is given as from four to thirteen times that of rifle powder. By an explosion of a few cans of this material on the wharf at Aspinwall in 1866, a considerable portion of the town was destroyed, shipping at some distance in the harbor much damaged, and a number of lives were lost. An explosion of a storehouse containing some hundreds of pounds of nitro-glycerine took place at Fairport, Ohio, in 1870, accompanied with much loss of life. The shock was felt at Buffalo, 160 miles distant. Nobel, in 1867, invented a compound called dynamite, which consists of three parts nitroglycerine and one part of porous earth. Dynamite is suppo

Gun-cot′ton. The first notice of the discovery of gun-cotton was made by Braconnet, in 1833, who detailed the action of nitric acid on starch, sawdust, linen, and cotton. He called it xyloidine. Pelouse, in 1838, called attention to this compound. Dumas, in 1843, again cited a mode of preparing, and made suggestions for the application.

the opening of the lid, as occurring several times during the day, is made to wind up the going mechanism. In the patent of Ramuz, 1868, the cover is connected to a lever which is operated by opening and closing the cover, and acts through a gimbal-joint upon a lever to which a curved ratchet-bar is pivoted. The curved ratchet-bar engages a ratchetwheel, which communicates with the works so as to partially wind the same when the cover is opened to observe the time. Theurer's patent of 1866 seems to have been the first of the kind. Mozart's of 1873 may also be noticed. Lie′ber-kuhn. （Optics.)

machine of this kind, employing a commutator to cause the current to flow continuously in the same direction. The coil of wire of the armature was wound transversely to its soft iron core. In 1857, Siemens constructed a magneto-electric machine, in which an elongated cylindrical armature, wound with insulated wire in the direction of its length, was made to revolve between the poles of a number of parallel horseshoe magnets. By this means much more powerful currents were obtained. In 1866, Mr. Wilde of Manchester, England, conceived the idea of passing the current developed by an apparatus of this kind through the insulated wire of an electro-magnet of larger size. He found that the force of the magnetism thus excited was far greater than that of the series of steel magnets employed to generate the magneto-electric current. In one case where these would support a weight of but 40 pounds, the electro-magnet which they excited sustained 1,088 pounds. He next constructed a
