ut. But′ton-hole Sewing-machine. In working button-holes by machinery, it is common for the perforating-needle to descend first through the material back from the slit, and then through the slit, or else a thread may be carried from the under side up over the edge of the material, and be locked by the needle in its next descent. The needle may be made to descend through the material and through the slit, by moving the material laterally, as well as forward by the feed, as in patent to Miller, March 7, 1854; or the needle-carrying box may be moved laterally after each stitch, by means of a cam, as in patent to Humphrey, October 7, 1862. The needlethread is locked at each descent by a second thread carried by either a looper or a shuttle. In patent to Sleiner, June 19, 1860, the needle and shuttle operate as in an ordinary machine, but after the shuttle has passed through the loop of needle-thread, a hook catches its thread and passes it in the form of a loop up through the butt

roximity to the figures on the spiral. Rev. John Wesley in his journal gives the following account of a talking clock: — On Monday, April 27, 1762, being at Lurgan, in Ireland, I embraced the opportunity which I had desired, of talking to Mr. Miller, the contriver of that statue which was in Lurgan when I was there before. It was the figure of an old man standing in a case, with a curtain drawn before him, over against a clock, which stood on the opposite side of the room. Every time theer, turned his head as if looking round on the company, and then said, with a clear, loud, articulate voice, past one, or two, or three, and so on. But so many came to see this (the like of which all allowed was not to be seen in Europe), that Mr. Miller was in danger of being ruined, not having time to attend to his own business. So as none offered to purchase it or reward him for his pains, he took the whole machine to pieces. Tower clock. Church clocks, or, as they are termed in the

E is a factory-hoist like the modern elevator so much used in hotels. It is known in the North of England as a teagle (? tackle). Sellers's hoisting-machine. Sellers's hoisting-machine for warehouses or hotels is shown at Fig. 2529. It exhibits the wire-rope drum together with the up-and-down pulleys, and the middle loose pulley. Miller's hoisting-machins. Fig. 2530 exhibits the hoisting-machine with the steam-engine by which it is driven. This is a donble-cylinder, and reverses by a single movement of the valve-lever at the front. The platform moves at a speed of from 10 to 150 feet per minute, and has safety-ratchets which instantly lock it to the standards if the rope break. The drum on which the wire rope is wound has a spiral groove in which successive coils of the rope are kept separate. The car stops automati

The data, with the exception of the equivalent (old system), fusing-points, and tensile strength, are derived, with few exceptions, from Miller's Chemistry. The conductivity for heat is that given by Calvert and Johnson. The results obtained by Wiedemann and Franz differ widely from these. For electric conductivity, Matheisson's results, which differ from those of Becquerel, are employed. The fusing-points are those given by Professor P. H. Van der Weyde. b.

y. A place yet famous for them, and which may have supplied the ancient demand in part, is in the vicinity of the Persian Gulf, in a large fen or tract of soggy land supplied with water by the river Helle, a place of Arabia formed by united arms of the Euphrates and Tigris. They are cut in March, tied in bundles, laid six months in a manure-heap, where they assume a beautiful color, mottled yellow and black. （Chardin.) Tournefort saw them growing in the neighborhood of Teflis in Georgia. Miller describes the cane as growing no higher than a man, the stem three or four lines in thickness, and solid from one knot to another, excepting the central white pith. The incipient fermentation in the manureheap dries up the pith and hardens the cane. The pens are about the size of the largest swan's quills. They are cut and slit like our pens, but have much longer nibs. A little bundle of ancient pens from Egypt, with the stains of the ink yet upon them, may be seen in the museum of the

riod. Steam-heating vats seem to have originated in America, but formed the subject of a French patent of 1822. The quick process was proposed by McBride in 1759, but he extracted the tanning material with lime-water. It was not until 1793-95 that the active principle requisite to the success of the process — tannic acid — was recognized by Deyeux and Seguin of Paris. It was rendered practical by Fay in England, 1790, and Seguin in France, 1795, and improved by Desmond, Brewin, Cant, and Miller. In 1839 the use of lime from gas-purifying works, previously suggested by Professor Boettger of Frankfort, was introduced into Berlin. Half-dried sole-leather was formerly rendered compact and, to some extent, flexible, by being beaten by hand with hammers. In Switzerland, as early as 1800, water-power hammers, and, subsequently, stamps were employed. In 1842, Berendorf of Paris invented pressing-stamps, which were supplemented by Harvey and Debergue with a roller, which effected th
