From their connection in the text with pots and tongs, they were no doubt fire-shovels. The tongs were of gold. The wooden shovel (palas ligneas) was much used in Roman agriculture. Used in throwing up grain; as a winnowing-shovel it was termed ventilabrum. Hawkins's feeding-shovel, English patent, 1816, was for supplying coal to the bottom of a fire. It had a close cover, so as to form a box, and the handle was a sliding rod connected with a piston, by pressing which the coals were thrust into the fire. Shov′el-plow. One having a simple triangular share, and employed for cultivating ground between growing crops. The shovel is a share, but while objecting to the name there is no objection to the tool. They are made either single or double; so called, not that the double-shovel pl

In this, the cloth was held by a horizontal wheel having a row of teeth set obliquely to its axis. It was improved in 1829 in fastening it to the breast-beam bye.

The design is drawn on the zinc-plate with a material which resists acid. The surface of the plate being bit away leaves the design in relief to be printed from by the ordinary mode in printing from woodcuts. The process does not appear to have made much headway since its introduction in 1816, though some beautiful specimens were made in England more than thirty years back. See Panicograph; Galvanograph; Galvano-plastic process. Zinc-white. Zinc-white (oxide of zinc; ZnO.) is a white powder obtained by the sublimation of the red oxide. This is found in abundance at Mount Sterling, N. J. It is pulverized, mixed with coal, heated in brick retorts, through which blasts of air are passed. The oxygen of the air combines with the vapor of the zinc, and the flocculent oxide is
