solution of double sulphate of nickel and ammonia, free from acid or alkaline reaction. He uses a nickel and iron anode. His patent, No. 102,748, claims the use of a nickel anode combined with carbon. Patent of 1871 uses a heated battery Dr Adam's process consists in the deposition by electro-magnetic agency of metallic nickel from either of three solutions: — 1, one formed of the double sulphate of nickel and alumina; 2, of the double sulphate of nickel and potash; 3, of the double Noblet washer, which has a portion to turn up against the nut, and a farther portion which may be turned down against the object, if desired. d2 is the Nicholson (1852) bolt with a semi-spherical bearing surface, and nut made to suit. e2 is Adam's wedge-formed washer (1856). f2 has a right and left double-ended screw-bolt. g2 g3 are two views of a form in which a washer beneath the nut has a lip which projects into a slot in the fish-bar. h2 has a long washer-slip with a piece tu

We are not to infer that Satan saw the cars in motion, nor that Milton believed the modern theory, that mankind proceeded from several independent centers. This would be granting the whole question, that the almondeyed man of Cathay was scudding over the plains in pursuit of business or pleasure while Adam and Eve were yet disporting in Eden. One form of the wind-car has sails like a windmill, which rotate an axle and impart motion to the driving-wheels. Such are described in old works on physics, published centuries ago. The Chinese wind-wheelbarrow is drawn by a donkey, and when the wind is fair a sail is set. The wheel turns in the middle of a wooden frame, sustained by iron bars. Upon the frame are hung all kinds of utensils. The donkey is generally mounted by the paterfamilias, th
