angeable for varying sizes of hats. Fig. 2421, the cone; it is brought into operation upon the hatbody by swinging over, bringing the stretchers n n between the part g g and the banding-ring o, upon the hand of the hat. Fig. 2422 shows the rubber over the crown stretchers to prevent undue corrugating of the body. In Fig. 2423 the cone to form the body is placed upon the block E, which has two circumferential series of slanting ribs above it. When the carriage Hat-blocking machine. Boyden's hat-blocking machine. is raised so as to bring the cone within the hollow former above, the piston D expands the upper series of radial arms, distending the crown, which is thereby pressed against the sides of the block T T, and flattened against the crown-piece H; the crown and sides are then blocked. The brim is distended by the rising of the ring L against the inside edges of the lower and outer series of hinged arms, which are thus pressed against the under side of the brim and press

y means of screws communicating with a regulator or governor. so that the opening of the sluice and stops may be increased or diminished in proportion as the velocity of the wheel may require to be accelerated or retarded. Fourneyron's turbine. Fig. 6782 is the Boyden outward-flow turbine on the Fourneyron principle. Fig. 6783 has the reverse movement, or inward flow; the water entering at all points around the circumference of the wheel and escaping at the center and downward. Boyden's outward-flow turbine. In the illustration, the parts are represented as detachable, so as to reach any stones or brush which may become jammed. The sections occupy grooves in the faces of the top and bottom plates, so as to be removable when the upper plate is lifted. Kindleberger's turbine is also of the inward-flow and center-vent variety. Its peculiarity is in the mode of applying water and graduating the area of the gated openings. Each of the twelve gates has a strong bras

head-piece b. The vapor which is sublimated from the ore becomes cooled in the head-piece b, and is condensed upon an iron plate beneath. This condensing-chamber is separated by partitions from those of the neighboring retorts, and all points of access are carefully luted. The operation is observed by a glazed eye-hole. The retorts are arranged in two ranks and heated by the fire between them.

The surface of the plate being bit away leaves the design in relief to be printed from by the ordinary mode in printing from woodcuts. The process does not appear to have made much headway since its introduction in 1816<

mbridge vinegar Co., manufacturers of vinegar, are located at 75 Main Street, Cambridgeport. David W. Davis, manufacturer of bluing, is located on Clay Street. Street railways. The West Boston Bridge was opened in 1793, and soon afterwards a public conveyance was established, which made a trip once a day; afterwards two trips were made daily, leaving Cambridge at eight o'clock A. M. and two o'clock P. M., returning at noon and six o'clock P. M. The Cambridge stage started from Boyden's, Dock Square. Previous to that date, from the time of the first settlement, access to Boston was difficult. There was a choice, it is true, of ferries, and one might cross the river at Charlestown, or at the foot of the present Boylston Street, whence the route lay through Roxbury and across the Neck, then only wide enough for the passage of Washington Street. In the early part of the century Reed & Soper kept a livery stable on Dunster Street and ran a line of three-seated stages t

ack. A rendezvous, twenty-five miles east of New Inlet, is given. Commanders of divisions will get their divisions in line and keep them so. When signal is made to form line of battle, every vessel will take her position, the first division forming first. As low steam will suffice in going into action, those vessels that can move and work handily with half-boiler power will do so, having full boilers without steam next the enemy. Slow deliberate firing will be made. In accordance with this programme, the Louisiana, an old vessel designed for a torpedo on a large scale, was towed from Norfolk by the Sassacus to a remote part of Beaufort Harbor, there anchored and filled with powder, with carefully studied arrangements for firing many centres at the same moment. The vessel was disguised as a blockaderun-ner, and her preparation for service was assigned to Commander Rhind, aided by Lieutenant Preston, Second Assistant-Engineer Mullan, and Master's Mate Boyden, with seven men
