For a long time they were used exclusively as pumping engines, but more recently the reciprocating action has been converted into a rotary movement ; and it is possible that they may be turned to many services where a high level water-supply exists, and there is a demand for limited quantities of power.

Their power was derived from a column of water which gave a reciprocating action to a piston. For a long time they were used exclusively as pumping engines, but more recently the reciprocating action has been converted into a rotary movement ; and it is possible that they may be turned to many services where a high level water-supply exists, and there is a demand for limited quantities of power. * * Karmarsch : Gesch.

A railway bungalow — and they are as substantially built as the engines — cannot cost him more than one-ninth of the pay of his grade, and the Provi dent Fund provides for his latter end.

A good man from the army, with his papers all correct and certificates from his commanding officer, may, after depositing twenty pounds to pay his home passage, in the event of his services being dispensed with, enter the Company's service on something less than one hundred rupees a month and rise in time to four hundred as a station-master.

It is important, there fore, that the engines should be indicated, and that the indicated horse-power of the engine should be compared with the actual useful effect in water raised.

When he finds a difference in the respective " duties " of two pumping engines at his mine, there is nothing to tell him whether the fault of the less effec tive plant lies in the coal, the engine, the boilers, the transmitting arrangements, or the pumps themselves. It is important, there fore, that the engines should be indicated, and that the indicated horse-power of the engine should be compared with the actual useful effect in water raised. Hammer * has found that the power consumed in some cases by the mere friction of the guides in the shaft is as much as 24 to 30 per cent, of the total power given out by the engine.

The motion of the trollies was the most delightful I ever experienced in travelling, and without the locomotive you see the scenery far better.

Mr. Prestage, the managing-director of the tram-line, had arranged that we should be " trollied " down the mountains instead of going in the train ; so at Ghoom station, which is higher than Darjeeling, and from which to the plain there is a continuous descent, we found two little tram-cars fastened together, and Mr. Walker, one of the officials — a Scotchman, of course — who managed the brakes, and took us down in the most skilful manner, at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, stopping an hour for breakfast at the charming little Clarendon Hotel at Khersiong, from which we had our last look of the gigantic Kinchinjunga. The motion of the trollies was the most delightful I ever experienced in travelling, and without the locomotive you see the scenery far better. Its grandeur and variety struck us more than when going up.

There can be only one companion, and if that one be absent, there are only so many talking-machines left to us.

The girl went back into her small world with a new knowledge gained — the knowledge that in all and through all we are really quite alone. There can be only one companion, and if that one be absent, there are only so many talking-machines left to us. And many of us pass the whole of our lives in conversation with them.

93 of it is a stove, where the single gentlemen chiefly congregate ; a smaU outer poop at the extremity, being only used in fine weather. The most curious thing about the after portion of the saloon is a barber's shop, lighted from above, and adjoining the enclosure for the engines. Here, on looking through a curtained glass door, we observe a todet-table, laid out with ad proper apparatus for shaving and hair-dressing; a luxurious chair, with a high rest for the feet ; and, seated in a corner, is seen a negro operator, spelling over a news paper, and patiently waiting for custom.

Your leddyship and the steward hae been pleased to propose that my son Cuddie suld work in the barn wi' a new-fangled machine * * Probably something similar to the barn-fanners now used for winnow ing corn, which were not, however, used in their present shape until about 1730.

And, since your leddyship is pleased to speak o' parting wi' us, I am free to tell you a piece o' my mind in another article. Your leddyship and the steward hae been pleased to propose that my son Cuddie suld work in the barn wi' a new-fangled machine * * Probably something similar to the barn-fanners now used for winnow ing corn, which were not, however, used in their present shape until about 1730. They were objected to by the more rigid sectaries on their first introduction, upon such reasoning as that of honest Mause in the text.

As the locomotive reached the end of the trestle-work the grade rose a little, and I could see through or in a deep cut, which the road ran into, an obstruc tion.

This somewhat hazardous move he commenced just as we struck a stretch of trestle-work which car ried the road over a gorge of some fifty feet deep. As the locomotive reached the end of the trestle-work the grade rose a little, and I could see through or in a deep cut, which the road ran into, an obstruc tion. What it was, or how far ahead, I had almost no conception ; but, quick as thought, — and thought is as quick as light ning in such circumstances — I whistled for the brakes, shut off the steam, and await ed the collision.

So wonderfully great is the quantity of merchandize thus despatched, that not only is a hydraulic press employed to condense the bales into the smallest possible space, but a steam-engine is even employed to work the hydraulic press — an exertion of power within power singularly efficient.

This is an important process; for not only is space saved on shipboard by close packing, but the goods are less liable to be injured by the access of sea water. So wonderfully great is the quantity of merchandize thus despatched, that not only is a hydraulic press employed to condense the bales into the smallest possible space, but a steam-engine is even employed to work the hydraulic press — an exertion of power within power singularly efficient. Mr. Kohl gives one or two interesting exemplifica tions of tbe mode of marking and guaranteeing these masses of manufactured goods : — " As the wares con tained in the great bales, some of which weigh more than fifteen hundred-weight, are often of a very mis cellaneous kind, little pattern-books are sent off with each bale, containing not only the quantity, quality, price, &c, of the different goods, but a neat little specimen of each.
