The machine is similar to a rice-huller. Ditson's patent, 1835, has abrading surfaces made by perforating sheet-iron. See also Adams's patent, 1836. Subsequent to these are about ten others, which have certain peculiarities of construction. In the example, the husk is removed from the coffee while passing . 1390 the colter is shown as secured by a sidebar and shackle. The wheelcolter in Fig. 1391 is mounted as a casterwheel.

n and substitute for itself a fresh and powerful one. This is an essential condition to obtaining useful mechanical results from electricity itself, where a long circuit of conductors is used. — Prescott, History of the Electric Telegraph. In 1832, Professor Morse began to devote his attention to the subject of telegraphy; and in that year, while on his passage home from Europe, invented the form of telegraph since so well known as Morse's. A short line worked on his plan was set up in 1835, though it was not until June 20, 1840, that he obtained his first patent, and nearly four years elapsed before means could be procured, which were finally granted by the government of the United States, to test its practical working over a line of any length; though he had as early as 1837 endeavored to induce Congress to appropriate a sum of money sufficient to construct a line between Washington and Baltimore. Professor Morse deserves high honor for the ingenious manner in which he avai

er to the burner of an Argand lamp, so as to avoid throwing a shadow upon surrounding objects. Fountain-pen. Foun′tain-pen. One which has an ink reservoir for the supply of the pen. Scheffer's fountain-pen, introduced in England about 1835, had a reservoir of ink in the holder, and the ink is admitted to the pen by the pressure of the thumb on a projecting stud. Parker's hydraulic pen, invented about the same time, had a piston in the holder, operated by a screw stem and a nut on As the skin is drawn forward over the projecting edge of the bed, the long hairs stand out nearly at right angles, and are seized and extracted by ribs on a pair of revolving cylinders which are placed in front of the bed. Graham's machine, 1835, passes the skin between two feed-rollers over a third higher roller, which spreads the hairs, which are pinched between a revolving blade and the elastic surface of a leathercovered cylinder, and so pulled out of the skin, which is stretched and

s introduced by the opening at i. Heating-stoves. The air passing from the lower flues c c through the apertures beneath the horizontal partition, and coming in immediate contact with the surface of the cockle, finds its way into the upper air-chamber e e through the numerous pipes or openings of the upper division, by which circuit its velocity will be sufficiently retarded to obtain the necessary elevation of temperature from the heated cockle. In the plan submitted by Sylvester, 1835, for warming and ventilating the Houses of Parliament (E, Fig. 2474), the fresh air was to be admitted through an underground channel a b to a cockle c beneath the floor of the building. It is thus heated about 15° in winter or cooled a like amount in summer. On passing through the cockle it spreads into the open space d d, and thence is distributed to all parts of the chamber through apertures in the floor. The ascending vitiated air, passing through openings e e in the ceiling, is discha

canister shot, discharged from cannon. These are contained in an envelope which is ruptured either by a bursting charge within or by the force of projection, and have consequently a tendency to scatter over a considerable area. The mitrailleur, or machine-gun, on the contrary, sends a large number of small projectiles independently, and with precision, to a considerable distance. French mitrailleur. The infernal machine with which Fieschi attempted to assassinate Louis Philippe in 1835, and succeeded in killing eighteen persons, including Marshal Mortier, and wounding a large number of others, besides severely injuring himself, was one of the earliest attempts with which we are acquainted for producing a simultaneous discharge from a number of gun-barrels. These were arranged side by side on a bench or stand, and fired by a train, much as in the mode of firing barrels in a proving-house. That first tried in the French service was made by removing part of the breech from
