A process adopted with most kinds of merchantable bottles of staple kinds. The bulb of glass on the end of the blowtube is partially expanded, and then placed between the parts of an iron mold which is open to receive it. The parts are closed and locked, and the bulb then expanded by the breath to completely fill the mold. In 1822, Rickets, of Bristol, England, obtained a patent for a bottle-molding apparatus, comprising a frame for holding and operating a bottle-mold. The mold consisted of a die for forming the body of the bottle, a two-part die for forming its top, and a plunger for shaping its bottom; these are reciprocated by means of treadles and levers. The frame is adapted to be used with dies of various sizes and shapes. The molten glass is blown out, so as to fill the mold in the ordinary way. Bot′tle-pu<

This form was somewhat modified in the shell-guns of Colonel Paixhans, of the French army, about 1822, which found their way into the United States land-service at a later period under the name of sea-coast howitzers.

d Lee, Manchester, the light being estimated as equal to 3,000 candles. This was the largest undertaking up to that date. In 1807, Winsor lighted one side of Pall Mall, London; the first street lighting. Westminster Bridge was lighted in 1813. Houses of Parliament, London, in the same year.

New York City, 1825. The Newton gas-well, six miles from Titusville, Pa., discharges at the rate of three millions of cubic feet of gas every day of twenty-four hours. The gas issues under a pressure of from twenty to thirty pounds per square inch, and for the most part goes to waste. Pipes have been laid to Titusville, and two hundred and fifty dwelling-houses, shops, etc., are now supplied with the gas for illumination and fuel.

A form of direct-action steam-engine, in which two cylinders are placed in a frame so as to work at an angle to each other, the connecting rods giving motion to the same crank. It was invented by Brunel, and patented by him in 1822. Brunel's inclined-cylinder steam-engine. a a is a strong triangular frame of cast-iron, within which are fixed the two cylinders b b.

gage the head of the mandrel. The perforated steel plate or whirtle is held in a cross-bearer above the bench. This mode is shown at g. Fig. 2857, and is described in Wilkinson's specification, English patent, 1790. Instead of the plate, a series of rolls may be employed, gradually diminishing in size, successively reducing the diameter of its exterior, while the mandrel maintains the uniformity of its bore. The first machine for pressing lead-pipe was patented in England by Hague, in 1822. The melted lead was forced through a circular throat whose axis was occupied by a mandrel. The lead was driven through at such a rate that it solidified by exposure to cold surfaces. By another plan, the lead is cast into a short heavy cylinder, and the ingot is forced through a throat at the lower end by the exertion of considerable force upon the piston which fits in the cylinder. This would make a round bar, but occupying an axial position in the middle of the throat is a mandrel, whi

l name given to double harness in England. Paix′han gun. A large chambered shell-gun, so called from Colonel Paixhan of the French army, who introduced it in 1822. Guns of this kind of the caliber of 8 and 10 inches, known as sea-coast howitzers, formerly constituted a part of the armament of coast fortifications in the U 1842. Caps were invented in England in 1814 by Joshua Shaw. He came to the United States for the purpose of procuring a patent, but was refused as an alien. In 1822, he patented a percussion-lock; in 1828, the percussion-wafer primer. He subsequently received $17,000 from the United States government for his improvements, andtman-rod to g. l is the fly.

As to the mode of attaching the horses it was almost universallyteam in front of the implement: one was in 1806; the others in 1820, 1822, 1823. As soon as this idea did occur to the inventors, they made machine used in this country, and patented by Bailey (Fig. 4200) in 1822 was of this character.
