kings they made were like sacks; and their gloves had no separation for the fingers. It looked very odd, too, to see moustachioed fellows sitting before their doors spinning, knitting, and gossiping like so many old women. — Travels in Tartary. Lamb's knitting-machine. Lamb's knitting-machine (Fig. 2678) is given as an example of that class which employs straight rows of needles in contradistinction to the machines using a circular system of needles, and to the singleneedle machine. In tLamb's knitting-machine (Fig. 2678) is given as an example of that class which employs straight rows of needles in contradistinction to the machines using a circular system of needles, and to the singleneedle machine. In the Lamb machine, a tubular web is produced by the operation of two straight parallel rows of needles, widening and narrowing being accomplished by increasing or diminishing the number of needles in action. The frame is attached by thumb-screws to the edge of a table, and has its two upper sides inclined towards each other, their upper edges being separated far enough to allow the fabric produced to pass down between them. Supported by the needle-bed is a carriage, reciprocated by means of a

Laid-on. （Joinery.) A term applied to moldings which are got out in strips and nailed on to the surface of the object. Laid-pa′per. Paper made with a ribbed surface like that formerly made in the hand-frame. Lam′bre-quin. 1. A curtain on the helmet to protect from the rays of the sun, like the cap with a valance named from the East Indian hero Havelock. 2. A festooned drapery, forming an ornament at the upper part of a window, and covering the curtain rings and bar. Lamb′s tongue. A plane with a deep, narrow bit for making quirks. Lam′e-ro. A walled receiver, where the slimes (mud charged with auriferous or argentiferous particles, or both) are deposited from the arrastra, to part with a portion of their water, and accumulate till sufficient to form a torta, in which the amalgamation is performed. See amalgamator. Lam′i-na-ted arch. A timber arch made of successive thicknesses of planking bent on to a centering and secured together by tr

See Joinery-framing. A molding is said to be stuck on or laid on, according to whether it is made on the edge of the frame or on a detached strip. See stuck-on. A reeding is a form of molding resembling a number of bands. Lamb's tongue is a form sometimes adapted for window-sash. A raking molding has a slanting overhang. A crowning molding is a top member. A plain molding is a mere band. The student of paleontology finds numerous anticipations of architectural and other ornamentation in the strata of the earth. In what is known as the modern Ionic the spiral of the volute is not all on one plane; it is a Euomphalus: in the central volutes of the Corinthian the spiral is an open one; it is a Lituite or

The true planes exhibited by Whitworth at the Paris Exposition were polished metallic surfaces of 100 inches area. These were prepared in triplets, to avoid the error which may occur, as, when ground together, one might be
