is rather complex and has given rise to much debate; it is usual to effect the reduction by tables which have been empirically constructed by comparison with the indications of the dew-point instrument of Daniell. The British tables for this purpose were constructed by Glaisher; edition of 1856 preferred. They are based upon a comparison of the simultaneous readings of the wet and dry bulb thermometers, and of Daniell's hygrometer, taken for a series of years in Greenwich Observatory, in Toronto, and in India. The ratio between the two readings is not equal at all degrees of temperature as marked on the dry bulb. When this temperature — the natural, it may be called — is 53° F. the dew-point is as much below the wet bulb as the latter is below 53° F., the temperature of the air. At higher temperatures the wet-bulb reading is nearer to the dew-point than to the air-temperature, and the reverse is the case at temperatures below 53° F. See psychrometer. Two citations from Cosmo

with paddle-wheels, to compare the modes of propulsion. The propeller was preferred, and soon had an important place in the British navy. Captain John Ericsson's English patent is dated July 13, 1836, for a propeller containing several blades or segments of a screw, the twist of which was determined in accordance with the principle now usually adopted. His propeller, the Francis B. Ogden, was tried in April, 1837, and in May of that year was used in towing an American packet, the ship Toronto, of 700 tons burden, to sea; 4 1/2 knots an hour against wind and tide. Ericsson's second vessel, the Robert F. Stockton, was built by the Lairds of Birkenhead, and launched July 7, 1838. This vessel was built for Captain Stockton, of the United States Navy. She crossed to the United States in 1839, and was purchased by the Delaware and Raritan Canal Company. Captain Ericsson subsequently built the propeller Enterprize. He was the first to couple the engine directly to the propeller
