illed. Generals Slack and Clark of Missouri were severely wounded--Gen. Price slightly. Capt. Hinson of the Louisiana regiment, Capt. McAlexander of Churchill's regiment, Captains Bell and Brown of Pearce's brigade, Lieuts. Walton and Weaver--all fell while nobly and gallantly doing their duty. Col. McIntosh was slightly wounded by a grape-shot, while charging with the Louisiana regiment--Lieut.-Col. Neal, Major H. Ward, Captains King, Pearson, Gibbs, Ramsaur, Porter, Lieutenants Dawson, Chambers, Johnson, King, Adams, Hardista, McIvor, and Saddler, were wounded while at the head of their companies. Where all were doing their duty so gallantly, it is almost unfair to discriminate. I must, however, bring to your notice, the gallant conduct of the Missouri Generals — McBride, Parsons, Clark, Black, and their officers. To Gen. Price, I am under many obligations for assistance on the battle-field. He was at the head of his force leading them on and sustaming them by his gallant be

by pipes with the respective ends of a cylinder in which a piston reciprocates as the bodies of air in the said cylinders are alternately expanded and contracted. Stirling's engine (English patent, 1827) was of this character, and is stated by Chambers to have been unsuccessful, owing to mechanical defects and to the unforeseen accumulation of heat, — not fully extracted by the sieves or small passages in the cool part of the regenerator, of which the external surface was not sufficiently larg A good article on the astronomical observatories of the United States may be found in Harper's Magazine, June, 1856.

ned by the rotation of the handle. School-book clamp. Book-edge lock. A lock whereby the closed sides of the book-cover are locked shut. Book-fold′ing ma-chine′. A machine for folding sheets for gathering, sewing, and binding. Chambers's book-folding machines are made of various sizes, adapted to fold sheets to various dimensions from folio downward. They are also adapted for folding two separate sheets together, pasting the separate pages at the back; or for cutting sheetsof the machine. To fold an octavo, the once folded sheet is again presented to a folding edge, when it is carried to a second set of rollers, which squeeze it flat, and it is thence led to a trough, where the folded sheets are collected. Chambers's book-folder. Book-hold′er. A reading-desk top, or equivalent device, for holding an open book in reading position. Book′ing. （Agriculture.)

e periodicals, folds one sheet of sixteen pages, 30 1/2 × 45 1/2 inches, and another of eight pages, 22 3/4 × 30 1/2 inches, insetting the eight pages within the sixteen, and pasting and trimming all, delivering a complete copy of twenty-four pages ready to read. It will fold eight pages alone, sixteen pages alone, with or without pasting, or trimming; or will fold, paste, and trim the sixteen pages, and fold, paste, and trim the eight pages, insetting same without pasting in the inset. Chambers's 8vo book-folding machine. Machines of this general character are also made for folding, pasting, and trimming, or for folding, pasting, trimming all round, and putting on a cover of different colored paper. Rev. H. W. Beecher's weekly journal, the Christian Union, is folded, inset, and covered in this manner. This paper uses a single large sheet of 43 × 47 inches, making twenty-four pages, and, with the added cover, twentyeight. The sheet is printed on a four-cylinder press, and, b

Italy is anything but salubrious. The Chinese call a stove which is heated by a furnace a kang; in the ti-kang the flue runs under the floor or pavement of the room; the kao-kang is used for heating their sleeping and sitting places. In the tong-kang the heating flue is carried along the floor, with openings from it at which the heated air and smoke ascend into the spaces of a hollow wall, thus nearly approaching the principle of the chimney. A tong-kang was erected in 1761 by Sir William Chambers for heating the orangery at Kew Palace, near London. In imitation of the Chinese method, he introduced heated air through an air-pipe or flue in contact with the heating flues. The method of obtaining warmth in Persia is by means of a large jar, called a kourcy, sunk in the earthen floor, generally in the middle of the room. This is filled with wood, dung, or other combustible; and when it is sufficiently charred, the mouth of the vessel is shut in with a square wooden frame, s

ves capable of adjustment at proper distances apart. The board is thus cut into strips, which are divided into parallelograms by a second feeding through the machine. Mill-cake. 1. The incorporated materials for gunpowder; in the cake form, previous to granulating. 2. The mass of hulls and parenchyma remaining after the expression of linseed-oil. Mill-dam. A wall or bank across the course of a stream to raise the level of the water and divert it into a mill-race. See dam. Chambers's automatic-feeding board-cutter. Milled lead. Lead which has been spread into a sheet in the rolling-mill, in contradistinction to lead which is leveled while in a melted condition, upon a table with raised edges by means of a strike in the hands of two men. Milled cloth. （Fabric.) Woolen cloth which has been fulled or felted by beating, to thicken it. Double-milled; the operation having been repeated to increase the density. Mille-fi-o′re-glass.

patent No. 13,315, for 1850; North's patent, October 15, 1856; Crosby, December 23, 1856; Smith, May 19, 1857; North, August 10, 1858; Endriss, March 8, 1859. Chambers, 1856, had registering-pins to fit the perforations made by the printing-press. (See point.) These pins or points are adjustable, and, as the folding-blade descends, recede by a cam movement. Chambers's machine (Fig. 3531) is adapted to fold large double-sheet papers. The sheet to be folded is spread upon the folding-table, and the register secured by points. The folding-blade overhead falls on the middle of the sheet and carries it down, doubled, through a slot in the table. The b the bed. The inside sheet is automatically placed in its position, both receive their final fold, and are deposited in a trough under the bed of the machine.
