DOMESTIC. 

 Mr. Thomas Story, of the city of New York, has 

 epared and placed for inspection at the office of the 

 mmercial of that city, a model, which is to supcr- 

 le the cr.ank motion in our steam engines. Thisim- 

 ovement, says the Editor of the Commercial, will 

 insfer the power unimpaired from the piston of a 

 am engine, to the water wheel of a steam boat, in a 

 'pendicular line, rvilhout mriution, and will cause a 

 ^ing of nearly 50 per cent of the power of the en- 

 le which is now lost, by the manner in which the 

 iver is tr.ansferred through the irregular agency of 

 ■ crank, or the crank motion. 



Tlie advantage it possesses over the crank and 

 (Ackle bar now in use in steam engines, is explained 

 ^ Mr. Story as follows : Suppose a boat has a steam 

 ^:ine, with a cylinder of 30 inches in diameter, equal 

 i.J he power of 30 horses ; this engine can raise on its 

 ,,l.on 5600 pounds ; but by the agency of the crank 

 i-: I shackle bar, now in use, it cannot transfer to the 

 er wheel asletree more than an average power of 

 pounds ; whereas this substitute can transfer 

 pounds, from this piston of the same Engine, and 

 same time, — Philadelphia Register.
