ength and weighed 6 tons per mile. It was a permanent success. The next long cable was laid in 1853, between Dover and Ostend, a distance of 80 miles, contained 6 conducting wires, and weighed 5 3/4 tons per mile. In 1853 a cable of 1 conducting wire was laid between England and Holland, 120 miles, weighing 1 3/4 tons per mile. This cable worked for 12 years. From 1853 to 1858, 37 cables were1853 to 1858, 37 cables were laid down, having a total length of 3,700 miles; of which 16 are still working, 13 worked for periods varying from a week to five years, and the remaining 8 were total failures. An unsuccessful at fair trial between the two was had on the farm of Mr. Mechi, Tiptree Hall, Kelvedon, England, in 1853.

Watchman's time-detector. The time-indicator used on the French railways (1853) is the invention of M. Aresa. It is also used in other public establishments guarded by police or watchmen. A sort of tableclock is placed at a particular spot, at which the watchman must be at every quarter of an hour during his nightpa-trol; at that time he is required to press his finger on a stud or button, which is the only part of the apparatus at his command. Beyond this he knows or does nothing in the matter; but when the clockcase is opened next day by a superintendent, a circu

A threefold tackle depending from the end of a lower yard-arm, for lifting boats and other weights. Yarn. Thread prepared for weaving. 1. Cotton yarn is numbered according to the number of hanks contained in a pound of 7,000 grains. Each hank or skein measures 840 yards. At the great exhibition of industry, London, 1853, Mr. Houldsworth of Manchester exhibited cotton yarn Nos. 100 to 2,150. No. 100 single cotton yarn weighs 70 grains. No. 500 single cotton yarn weighs 14 grains. No. 700 single cotton yarn weighs 10 grains. One pound weight of No. 2,150 extends upwards of 1,000 miles in length. Houldsworth is said to have attained a fineness represented by No. 10,000, one pound of which would extend 4,770 miles. This is marvelous. Yarn is made into hanks on a reel 4 1/2 feet in circumferenc
