Brita again into nineteen bays, which are roofed over with bricks, groined vaulting of red and black alternating with red and buff. The arches, ribs, and bosses are of Bath stone. The extreme length of the corridor is broken most effectively by a central square 55 by 45 feet, the groined vaulting forming a sort of cloister around theure of 81°. 8, indicating a rate of increase of 1°.7 for each 100 feet below the limit of constant temperature. The springs which supply the King's Bath, at Bath, England, have a temperature of 117°, and the spring of Orense, in Gallicia, has a temperature of 180° Fah.

These machines may be band or jig-saws, which cut out the curved backpiece which is placed on the top of the pillars of the chair-back. Molding or rounding machines for chairbacks have a holder for the stuff, which is moved against a rotary cutter of peculiar shape, the stuff traveling in a prescribed path, so as to receive the conformation desired. Scraping, dressing, and polishing machines for chair-backs are similar in their mode of presentation of

ed straightening by the foot, while the superior metal of the Romans stood the brunt. Strabo mentions that one of the exports of Britain was iron; the bold islanders met their invaders with scythes, hooks, broadswords, and spears of iron. The arrival of the Romans and the introduction of artificial blast, which the Romans had derived from their Eastern neighbors, gave a great impulse to the iron works of England. Under Adrian, A. D. 120, a fabrica or military forge was established at Bath, in the vicinity of iron and wood. During the Roman occupation of England, some of the richest beds of iron ore were worked, and the debris and cinders yet exist in immense beds to testify to two facts: one, that the amount of material worked was very great; the other, that the plans adopted were wasteful, as it has since been found profitable to work the cinder over again. During the Saxon occupation the furnaces were still in blast, especially in Gloucestershire. The early Norman
