e mile in a day. Multiply this amount by the number of feet in a mile, and divide the product by the number of minutes in 8 hours; the result is 33,000, which stands for the number of pounds raised one foot per minute, and this is now the admitted measure of a horse power.

rocated by the wrist-wheel r. The work is clamped on the bed B, which has the requisite feed-motions. The chisel-holders are provided with projections that fit in a slot in the cross-head, and also with tongues fitting into grooves on the lower side of the same. They are held in place by a bolt passing through the chisel-holders and the slot in the cross-head, which is secured by a thumb-screw. The mode of clamping the chisel-holders to the bar is shown in the smaller detached figure. Buck's machine for boring and mortising the stiles of blinds is automatic in its operation, and either bores the round holes for the reception of the pivots of turning slats or mortises the recesses for the reception of the ends of those slats designed to be permanently fixed at a certain angle. The latter are made on this machine by means similar to those used in boring a simple round hole, the tool being a reciprocatory or traversing burr or bit, which can be used on knotty pine and other obsti

alebone rod with a piece of sponge on one end, for pushing down into the stomach bodies which may have lodged in the esophagus. Sometimes the other end is provided with a silver basket on a hinge, by which bodies so lodged may be drawn out. The sponge, acting as a porte-meche, may be saturated with caustic or medicaments, which may thus be applied to the part affected.

f the upper part of this bone. It is applied to the limb by attaching the foot to the foot-board and the limb to the splint by a roller bandage. The angle of flexion is regulated by the screw. New York hospital splint for fracture of the thigh. Fig. 5441 represents, as applied, Dr. Lente's modification of the New York Hospital apparatus, for treatment of fractures of the thigh. This is based upon the splint originally invented by Desault, and subsequently modified by Drs. Physic and Buck. The outer splint is made in two pieces, one of which slides upon the other, so as to be adjustable to the length of the limb, is retained when adjusted by a set-screw, and is provided with a cushion applied to the outer side of the leg. It has a steel brace passing half-way over the abdomen, and connected to a belt surrounding the pelvic region, and also a perineal band connected to an adjustable plate sliding on the brace before mentioned. Cushioned splints placed beneath the upper part o
