along its whole Jength, and on each fide 
of it the vanes of the fail are arranged.

‘Thus by changing their pofition from that 
in which the tail is entirely open and per- 
vious, to that in which it forms as it were 
a folid plate, the force of the wind on the 
vanes is equally encreafed, and the power 
is produced. The regulation of thefe is 
performed by levers, ingenioufly contrived, 
which render them eafily manageable. 
‘Chey are made to have a vonftant gravi-

the vanes to the fituation in which they

fetting of the vanes in a direé ratio to 
its intenfity : and thus a precife and given

violence of wind will force the vanes to that

MR. EMANUEL HESSE, of MARYBONE, 
MIDDLESEX, for CERTAIN NEW iM- 
PROVEMENTS on” STIRRUPS. 
THE principle of this very fimple inven- 
tion is that of giving an elaftic motion to 
the bottom of the ftirrup on which the foot 
refts, for which purpofe the legs of the 
ftirrups have both a moveable falfe bottom. 
and a fixed crofs bar below it, as ufual,. 
only folid. Between the falfe and true 
bottom two rifing fteel fprings croffing 
each other are fixed, rivetted to the jower 
bar, and the elaftic motion of the upper 
bar on which the toot immediately retts, 
is given by preffure on thefe fprings. “Lo 
conceal thefe latter, and to give the whole 
aneater appearance, a circular plate de- 
pends from the upper or falfe bottom to 
the lower, which finks or rifles along with 
the bottom to which it is fixed.
