valuable results settle into the central pocket. Gardiner, October 4, 1864, subjects the finely pulverized dust of ores, in connection with mercury, to a powerful agitation and centrifugalaction, by placing them in a partially covered revolving pan; the form of the rim prevents the loss of the metallic portions, while the lighter impurities are ejected over the edge of the pan, into which a stream of water constantly flows. Whelpley and Storer's amalgamator. Phelps's amalgamator. Adams and Worthington's amalgamator. Whelpley and Storer, September 11, 1866. The outer cylinder is supported on shaft attached by a hub to an internal plate. The interior of the cylinder is coated with mercury; the pulp, being introduced during rapid rotation, is spread over the interior surface by the centrifugal force, and the metallic particles are seized and amalgamated by the mercury. The supply is derived from the tank T by pipe P, and the tailings discharged by pipe S. Day's am

le, and died from the effects of an explosion of the saturated air. Drake, 1853, revolved a porous material, to expose a saturated surface to a blast of air. Adams had a series of overflow pans somewhat as in the cut (Fig. 1104). The air is driven by the rotary fan in the chamber below, through the central vertical pipe to thrs from one form and at one impression by making the inking cylinder in parts and supplying the sections with the separate colors. Chromatic printing-press. Adams, 1844, had a poly-chromatic press by which a number of colors were had at one impression by a series of separate inking fountains. M Kenzie, 1846; a series of ses upon the grain subsequently. The machine is similar to a rice-huller. Ditson's patent, 1835, has abrading surfaces made by perforating sheet-iron.

alive. Fish′ing-tube. （Microscopy.) An open-ended glass tube for selecting a microscopic object in a fluid. The tube is closed at the upper end by the finger until the lower end is close to the object. The finger being raised the water rushes in, carrying the object with it. Fish-joint. A plate or pair of plates fastened upon the junction of a couple of meeting portions of a beam or plate. See fishing. The fish-joint for connecting railway-rails was first designed by W. B. Adams, England, 1847, and was soon extensively introduced. It consisted of a pair of plates 18 inches long, 3 by 3/4 inches, bolted together through the rails by 4 bolts, allowance being made by oval bolt-holes for expansion and contraction of the rails. The fish-joint with keys instead of bolts was first used (Holley) by Barr of Newcastle, Delaware, in 1843. In Samuel's fish-joint the bolt passes through a hole in one fish-plate and is tapped into the other. This obviates the nut, wh

ient study of any one part. Another novelty is a globe made of tissue-paper and inflated with air; such a globe may be made twelve feet in diameter, and is useful in a lecture or school room. A very cheap paper globe is now met with, in which the printed gores are brought together edge to edge by a string, not exactly to a spherical form, but sufficiently so for familiar reference. Globes are also made by Goodyear, of inflated india-rubber, or of silk coated with india-rubber solution. Adams has made them of gutta-percha, with surface in relief, and in detachable zones and sections. Globes of paper pulp have been suggested, molded inside of shells whose inner surfaces have intaglio representations of the inequalities of the earth's surface, so that the globe shall represent the mountains and valleys. It would be necessary to exaggerate the altitudes to make them visible. A model earth twenty-one feet diameter gives us only one thirtysecond of an inch to a mile; on such a gl
