on′. One which is tied to the earth by a rope, so as to restrain its ascensive and wandering power. In the summer of 1868 the largest of its kind was exhibited near London; it had a cubic capacity of 300,000 feet, an ascensional power equal to municate the ink to a set of rollers common to all, and by which the type is inked in strips of various colors. Slater, 1868; adjustable parallel inking-tables, each carrying its own color and furnishing it to a belt of corresponding width on the inking-roller. Hunt, 1868; two forms, two impressions, inkrollers with bands of colors. In Dunk's press the sheet is held by the nippers while it receives the colors consecutively. There are two sectional cylinders revolving in unison, one of be deposited in earthenware. Coffins made of slate slabs united by metallic cornerpieces and bolts are described in an 1868 patent.

h a number of instruments at great distances apart, so that they may be caused to play the same tune simultaneously. In 1868, a contrivance on this principle for playing the organ was exhibited in London. It was operated by means of a keyboard, aaving been used by the Russian government for printing bank-notes. A United States patent was granted for this process in 1868. See also Garnier's process, Photographic journal, Vol. VI., p. 31 et seq. An important improvement in electro-platin858. Guerrant and Field's engraving-machine was patented in 1867, and was in operation in New York City during the year 1868. To engrave by means of this machine the operator sits with a copy of the drawing, photograph, or whatever design is to bo a graver, which cuts or engraves the design upon the surface of a copper plate or block. At the Paris Exposition of 1868, an apparatus was exhibited by M. Gaiffe, of Paris, for engraving by electro-magnetism. It consists of two or more disks

being used for pumps. Linnaker's hydraulic propeller, 1808, had pumps placed horizontally beneath the bottom of the vessel. The pistons were attached to hanging levers which were oscillated by the power of the steam-engine. The pistons reciprocated in longitudinal trunks parallel to the keel. In a second plan, the pumps were vertical and discharged the water through horizontal trunks. The Nautilus, furnished with Ruthven's propeller, had a trial trip on the Thames in the summer of 1868, running in company with paddle-wheel steamers of the class that ply like aquatic omnibuses up and down the river. She ran at the rate of 13.5 and 7.2 miles per hour, with and against the tide, respectively, or at an average speed of 10.35 miles per hour. She then steamed down the river, and when off the Tunnel pier, with both strong wind and tide in her favor, going at full speed, was made, by reversing the valves, to stop dead in less than ten seconds and in about a quarter of her length.

One in which the opening of the lid, as occurring several times during the day, is made to wind up the going mechanism. In the patent of Ramuz, 1868, the cover is connected to a lever which is operated by opening and closing the cover, and acts through a gimbal-joint upon a lever to which a curved ratchet-bar is pivoted. The curved ratchet-bar engages a ratchetwheel, which communicates with t may be regarded as furnishing an illustration of the essential features of them all. The introduction of the lithographic power-press has totally remodeled the lithographic trade throughout the world within the short period of four years (from 1868-72), increasing the possible production about tenfold. It has lowered the cost of, and, in fact, rendered possible, large editions from stone, which, in former times, found their way to the typepress with very inferior results. By this change th
