shaft works. To fasten the bottom in its place, and prevent the mercury from finding its way under it, strips of cloth, about two inches in width, are lapped around the edge of the false bottom, as well as applied against the sides of the pan. Norton's amalgamator. A little iron cement is then poured in, and the bottom secured in its place by means of well-dried wooden wedges tightly driven between the two layers of cloth. These wedges, which are driven quite close to each other, must beently covered with a paste of iron cement, that is allowed to set before using the apparatus. About onehorse power is required to work this pan, which will amalgamate from one and a half to two tons of ore in the course of twenty-four hours. Norton, September 18, 1860. The annular revolving funnel G distributes the powdered material by pipes H to the space near the central pillar through which the vertical shaft passes. The grooves in the faces of the muller and bed-plate are arranged in

ton and Hall of North Yarmouth, Mass., May 21, 1811. Between that time and 1839 more than 10,000 of these arms were made and were issued to the troops in garrison and on the frontier. This gun is represented at N, Plate 16, and had a breech-block, which was hinged on an axial pin at the rear, and tipped upwardly at front to expose the front end of the charge-chamber. The flint-lock and powder-pan were attached to the vibrating breech-block. The arm is shown and described in detail in General Norton's American breech-loading small-arms, New York, 1872. Before the war of 1861-65, the principal breechloading small-arms were Sharps's, Burnside's, Maynard's, Merrill's, and Spencer's. Sharps's rifle (O, Plate 16) has the barrel rigidly attached to the stock, the rear being opened or closed by a vertically sliding breech-block, which slides up and down in a mortise operated by the trigger-guard, which is pivoted at the front end, or by a lever. The primer consists of small pellet
