plate of brass, having an aperture of about one fiftieth of an inch in diameter in the center of a circle of one half inch in diameter, and perforated with small holes. The fiber or particle to be measured is fixed in a slider, and the eriometer being placed before a strong light, and the eye assisted by a lens applied behind the small hole, the rings of colors will be seen. The slider must then be drawn out or pushed in till the limit of the first red and green ring (the one selected by Dr. Young) coincides with the circle of perforations, and the index will then show on the scale the size of the particle or fiber. — Brewster's Optics.

k which preceded the wheel-lock and the flint-lock. It had a match, whence its name, which was presented to the priming. Still used in some parts of Asia. See revolver. Match-mak′ing ma-chine. Young's matchmachine cuts the splints from a block or bolt of wood, sticks them singly in a strip of thin board, and passes them, points downward, over a trough or vat containing the chemicals, which are applied and the matches completed before the strip leaves the machine. Fig. 3089 shows Young's machine. A gate carries a set of boring bits above and as many cutters g below. The bits are geared to run together at uniform speed, and are driven by belt b from pulley c. These bits are to bore holes in the strip h, into which all the matches are stuck as soon as cut from bolt f. i i are feed-wheels to bring the bolt of match timber to the cutters. k is a steam-chamber to heat chemicals and char the end of the splints as they pass over the block m, and n o are cylinders which apply c

us shale was discovered and patented by James Young about 1850. That employed in the works of Mr. Young at Bathgate and Addiewell, Scotland, is briefly as follows: The shale is broken small in a crumy Epiphanes. The inscription is in hieroglyphic, demotic, and Greek. It was deciphered by Dr. Young, and formed the key to the reading of the hieroglyphic characters. It was captured by the Eat first employing persons to count the oscillations, but soon effected it by machinery. Dr. Thomas Young in his lectures on Natural Philosophy and the Mechanic Arts, 1807, Vol. I. p. 19, ascribeshio and West Virginia it was well known, but was considered worthless or a nuisance. The use of Young's coal-oil led to the belief that the natural oil might have a value, and about 1857 efforts werbeen the first to produce a photograph, in the artistic and technical sense of the word.

hen set free by the keys, fall into inclined grooves, or channels, in which, by their own weight, they descend, one after another, to the receptacle, or composingstick, provided to receive them. They here form a line of indefinite length, from which they are removed, in successive portions, to a justifying-stick, in which they are spaced out to the proper length of lines required. A machine of this kind was exhibited at the Paris Exposition of 1855, by Mr. Sorensen of Denmark; another by Mr. Young of London; and a third by Mr. Delcambre of France. Delcambre's was the only machine of any kind for setting up movable types in the Exposition of 1867. In all these machines the types are arranged in compact rows, side by side, and in separate but parallel channels, each row occupying a channel by itself, and all these channels standing (except in the machine of Sorensen) somewhat inclined, in one plane just behind the key-board. In Sorensen's machine these channels occupy the circumf

itement was created in front of the Centre Street M. E. Church, Philadelphia, on Sunday night last, by the arrest of Mr. Thos. Young, a member in good standing of the Church. It appears that Mr. Young, previous to the commencement of the service, wMr. Young, previous to the commencement of the service, with several other persons, was standing in front of the Church, and when one of the party said something about the arrival of a privateer in N. York, and at the same time denouncing the officers and crew of the vessel as pirates, Young insisted thator, after hearing all the witnesses had to say, remarked that there was not any testimony that justified him in holding Mr. Young to bail on the charge of inciting to riot, and he must discharge him. The defendant was only expressing his opinions, amere abstract opinion was not a violation of law, though it might be very imprudent to give utterance to it, If the right of speech is denied to one to-day, it may be denied to another to-morrow. The Mayor then ordered Mr. Young to be discharged.
