fize -, fixed upon the mill-poft, or upright beam ; 

 which reaches from the top to the bottom of 

 the mill. Near the bottom of this beam is fixed 

 a fimilar horizontal wheel ; which turns a 

 vertical one, fixed to the axis of the efficient 

 wheel. This, as to conftru&ion, is afrnall un- 

 derfoot water-mill wheel ; but, in its manner 

 of acting, is directly the reverfe ; for inftead 

 of being forced round by a weight of water 

 lying above it, it gathers up, by the means 

 of its floats, the dead water among which they 

 work, and forces it up into a drain refe*mbling 

 a mill-dam. This wheel works in a cafe of 

 wood or ftone, nicely formed to the floats ; 

 and at the head of the drain is a valve-gate, to 

 prevent the water from receding when the 

 mill flops ; it therefore, in eyery refpecr., re- 

 fembles a water-mill reverfed. 



The mill which I examined raifed the water 

 about three feet ; which is fully adequate to 

 the draining of the adjacent marflies.
