whereby it might be cooled. The pro- 
per degree of heat, therefore, being re~ 
tained, dissolves the saccharine proper- 
ties of the malt in the most effectual 
manner.

MR. WILLIAM SHAKTSPEAR’S, and MR. 
THOMAS OSLER’s (BIRMINGHAM), for a@ 
new Method of Manufacturing Glass 
or Paste Drops. 
Tis invention is thus set forth in the 
specification: “The drop being formed 
according to the usual methods, the part 
intended to receive the metallic loop, 
er piece of metal with which such loop 
is tutended to be made, is re-melted, or 
so far softened by heat as to admit of 
the metallic hoop or piece of metal with 
which it is intended to be made being 
pressed or worked into it; and the said 
metallic loop or picce of metal is then 
caielully inserted in the drop, by means 
ef a pair of pincers, or other proper tool. 
Or the loop, by being previously inserted 
in the mould or die, may be fixed in the 
act of moulding or forming the drop; 
though we prefer the former method, as 
beifg most secure. Any metal may be 
employed; but we prefer silver or cop- 
per. A small notch or groove, is also 
frequently cut in that part of the loop to 
be inserted in the glass; but this is not 
essential,”

Tt will be diihcuit to give any clear 
account of this machine without the aid 
of drawings; the reader, therefore, must 
be referred to the specification for an 
explication of the principle, while we 
observe that the thrashing-wheel, with its 
beaters, are carried in a cast-iron frame. 
Besides this, there are feeding rollers 
that take in the unthrashed grain: there 
are also a cast-iron receiving-box, and a 
cast-iron bar for delivering the straw ; 
likewise a cast-iron bridge bar to carry 
the horizontal shaft, made to fit both 
sides of the large frame, so that the ma- 
chine may be fixed on any side of the 
- barn doors; two whorls, for driving the 
feeding rollers with a cross bolt; a wire 
riddle, to separate the grain from the 
straw; a board with hinges to prevent 
the grain from flying forward; a tilt ring, 
covered with boards, to keep the dust 
from the man that feeds the machine. 
The dimensions and proportions of the 
several parts are given in the specification, 
to enable workmen to construct a ma. 
Shine of the kind.

MR. JOSEPH ANTHONY BERROLLA’s (cups 
PICE-ROW, CLERKENWELL), for a 
Warning-watch upon a new Construce 
tion, 
The inside of the movement is not difs 
ferent from that of a common watch, 
excepting a barrel, which is fixed with two 
screws on the under side of the top 
plate, as near to the main-spring as pos- 
sible. The arbour of the side barrel, 
made in the same manner as a clock 
watch, has a brass wheel with sixty teeth, 
with a steel wheel fixed to it; this wheel 
has thirty-three teeth, cut like a ratchet, 
which cause the hammer 'to act. This 
hammer placed between the main and 
warning barrels and the side of tha 
hammer, strikes on a bell-spring, which 
bell-spring is fixed with two screws on 
the pillar plate, The spring in the warn= 
ing-barrel is wound up five turns, which 
occasions the hammer to give 165 knocks 
on the bell-spring. Opposite the ham- 
mer is a pinion with six teeth, which act 
in the arbour-wheel. This pinion is plant. 
ed on one side of the upper plate, and 
on the other in a bar on the back of the 
pillar. On the side pimon is a wheel 
with forty-five teeth, which wheei acts 
in a pinion with six teeth planted in the 
‘bar on one side; and on the pillar plate 
for the other, on the said pinion is a 
wheel with twenty teeth, like a rachet, 
which acts in a pallet pianted in the pil- 
lar plate on one side, and ina bar on the 
other, which forni all the warning parts. 
The metiou part, though the same as 
that n acommon watch, is accurately 
described: so also is the outside of the 
watch. After which the patentee makes 
a variety of observations to show the sus 
periority of his invention above the me- 
thods already in use; part of which we 
shall describe as interesting-to the gene- 
ral reader. 
‘* A mechanism,” says Mr. B. “ pere 
forming the part of a monitor, by res 
minding us of any hour at which we may 
wish to wake inthe morning, or any ap~ 
pointment we may have to attend in the 
course of the day, is incontestably one 
of the most convenient and most useful 
objects that can be wished: indeed, to 
many people itis of absolute necessity. 
The utility of such an invention had long 
since been justly appreciated, and an 
attempt was made to put the idea into 
practice, by imtreducing a kind of mes 
chanism called a waker, at first into 
table-clocks, and afterwards likewise 
Jnto watches.
