a body of atmospheric air to be tested; one third the amount of condensation may be ascribed to the removal of oxygen, whose proportions for combining with hydrogen to form water are, oxygen 1, hydrogen 2, by bulk. The space between the thumb and the surface of the water in the open leg forms an air-cushion when the gases explode. Dobereiner's is founded upon the power of spongy platinum to cause the combination of oxygen and hydrogen gas. The labors of Bunsen, Regnault, and Reiset, Williamson and Russell, Franklin and Ward, have brought the instrument to the present efficient form. Eu′phroe. A long slat of wood, perforated for the passage of the awning-cords which suspend the ridge of an awning. The euphroe (or uphroe) and its pendent cords from a crow-foot Eu′style. （Architecture.) That style of intercolumniation in which the space between the columns was 2 1/2 times their diameter; so called from being considered the most beautiful style. E-vap′o-rating-co

e wide bearing afforded by these enabled the engine to travel over soft ground. Bray's had very wide wheels, provided with sliding plates which were protruded through openings in its periphery and withdrawn by central eccentrics. These embedded themselves in the ground and caused the machine to advance. Compare road-locomotive, road-roller, road-steamer, etc. Figs. 6587, 6588, show that of Thomson of Edinburgh, who first applied rubber tires to this class of engines, as improved by Williamson of New York. The framing, a a, is of wrought-iron, in a single piece. The rims of the driving-wheels b are perforated with numerous holes into which the back of the rubber tires c are forced, obviating slippage; these are surrounded by endless chains d, armed with bars of steel, and held in position by a flange on each side of the wheel. The boiler e is of the upright tubular kind, and connects with two steam-cylinders whose pistons operate crankshafts turning gears which cause the wh
