ine steam-pipe. The boiler apparatus has also to be provided at the lower end with a man-hole for the drawing out of the finished materials. The differences in the details of the various apparatus have certain advantages and disadvantages which do not alter the main conditions. Fry's process (Swedish) consists in boiling the wood in water or alkalies, under pressure of steam of from five to six atmospheres. It can only be applied to sawdust, and requires much more time than the others. Adamson's process consists in the employment of hydrocarbons for digesting woody fiber. The ligneous matter is placed between two perforated plates in a boiler heated by a steam-coil and filled with benzine, petroleum, gasoline, or equivalent liquid, which is vaporized, and after condensation in a coil passing through a water chamber above returns again to the boiler, whence it is drawn off by appropriate cocks. The disintegrating effect, though not so thorough as that produced by alkalies, is ye

The bucket and balance-beam, in which the reservoirs of known capacity on the respective ends of the beam are alternately presented to catch the water, and are depressed and emptied as they become filled. Siemens and Adamson's water-meter. Whichever of these principles be adopted, the number of oscillations, reciprocations, or rotations, each of which permits a definite quantity of the fluid to pass through the meter, must be registered by appropriate mechanism.ion in one direction is employed to set in motion a train of gearing which moves a series of indexes that point out on their appropriate dials the quantity of fluid delivered. See gas-meter; liquid-meter; spirit-meter. Class 1. Siemens and Adamson's meter acts on the principle of Barker's mill. The water is conveyed by a tube a to a horizontal drum d, rotating on a vertical shaft c, having at its upper end a worm which communicates motion to the registering gearing. The drum has three o

overwhelming odds, and causing the enemy to pay dearly for every inch of ground he gained upon him. . . . Returning to Terry's, I learned that the enemy were driving Lawler before them and would soon be at the ferry, as well as upon the river at Adamson's, toward which point they were forcing Bull, notwithstanding his stubborn resistance. . . . Found Bull crossing in safety, and without molestation. . . . Encamped Bull's regiment just below Temple's, on the river opposite Adamson's, to guard thAdamson's, to guard the ford there, leaving Corley at the ford at Badgett's, just above Buck's, keeping a strong picket at Terry's ferry.

On the next day (September 9th), considerable activity observed among the enemy. Bodies of cavalry moved up the river and returned. About dark my pickets reported that the enemy was hauling timber to near the
