der ore-stamps, etc.; ore-grinding mills; arrastras. An amalgam of mercury and tin is used to coat the back of looking-glasses and glass mirrors. This amalgam consists of mercury, 3; tin, 1. It is formed by laying a sheet of tin-foil on a table, covering it with mercury, and then, by a sliding movement, placing the sheet of glass over it. An amalgam of gold is also used by jewelers to overlay other metals by a fine film of gold, after which the mercury is driven off by heat. In Mallet's process (English) for preserving iron from rust and ship's sheathing from fouling, the iron is dipped in an amalgam of zinc, sodium, and mercury. The process is as follows : — The plates are cleansed in a warm solution of equal parts of acid (sulphuric or hydrochloric) and water. The scale and oxide are removed from the metal by scouring. The plate is then placed in a preparing-bath consisting of a saturated solution of hydrochlorate of zinc and sulphate of ammonia. It is then imm

two-wheeled carriage like a gig, hung by a combination of three springs; two of which are placed across the axle, at right angles with it, the third being suspended from them behind by shackles. Den-sim′e-ter. An instrument contrived by Colonel Mallet, of the French army, and M. Bianchi, for ascertaining the specific gravity of gunpowder. It consists of a glass globe having a tube which communicates with a quantity of mercury in an open vessel. The globe is joined at top to a graduatedflask. Bur-gage.Denture. Excavator.Scaler.

of a size which would be deemed a first-class forging in the most capable works of Europe or America. The pillar is, however, more than 1,000 years old, and may be as much as 1,500. It is believed that the ornamental capital was chipped from the solid. Digging has shown that the greater portion of the length is buried in the ground. It has about midlength an inscription in Sanscrit, in a character which has been assigned to the period A. D. 300 to 400. It has been described at length by Mallet in the Engineer. The present writer concludes that it is a casting from iron smelted by a process allied to the Catalan, — the ordinary smelting process of Asia and Africa, in fact, — from a magnetic or hematite ore by charcoal. Such an iron may be worked to some extent by the hammer. Iron pillar of Delhi. The iron pillar of Delhi has the following dimensions: — Hight above ground22 feet.

Said to have been used at the siege of Naples in 1435, and to have been first made in England in 1543. A colossal mortar constructed by Mallet was tried at Woolwich, October 19, 1857, with a charge of 70 pounds of powder, and it threw a shell weighing 2,550 pounds 1 1/2 miles horizontally, and about 3/4 t-iron 28 pounds; this was fixed on a piece of 2-inch plank, 24 × 16. When loaded, the shell projected half-way beyond the muzzle of the piece. The chase of Mallet's great mortar (d, Fig. 3229) is formed of short cylinders or compound rings; the chamber being of wrought-iron let into a huge mass of east-iron. Each of the tw

liberated by this process are passed through a vessel containing oxide or carbonate of magnesia, which is converted into a sulphite; this is decomposed by heating, and the sulphurous acid which escapes is converted into sulphuric by treating with steam, air or nitrous gas, the magnesian compound being again ready for use. The patent also embraces means for procuring oxygen by heating such compounds as permanganates, chromates, and ferrates, which are reoxidated at a lower temperature. In Mallet's process, sub-chloride of copper is transformed by the air into an oxi-chloride, which parts with its oxygen when subjected to a red heat in rotating retorts lined with fire-clay. The oxi-chloride is mixed with 15 or 20 per cent of sand in the retorts. The oxygen passes through a washing-vessel to the gas-holder. Fresh oxygen is supplied to the contents of the retort by first cooling by jets of steam, and then forcing a current of air through it. For production of chlorine and oxygen at
