pistons being raised by the direct pressure of the steam, necessitating the use of piston-rods. A four-way cock of ingenious construction made the necessary changes of induction and eduction. The steam was used at full power, and then exhausted into the atmosphere. This latter feature was novel. The positive pressure of steam was not. Papin had used it 25 years before. The two coacting, alternate cylinders was a novel feature. The engine never had any practical importance. In 1756, Blakey took out a patent for a water-raising apparatus, as an improvement on Savery's, to avoid the condensation of steam incident to its contact with the water. To avoid this he interposed a stratum of oil or air between the water and the steam. Smeaton devoted himself to the details of the Newcomen engine, laid down some rules for proportions, and determined a mode of measuring the power. It was formed upon the data:— Rate of the piston. Area of the piston. Pressure of the steam.

Blakey said, You are my prisoner. The General said, Yes. Have you any side-arms? inquired the sergeant. Yes, he answered; but I am a general officer, and prefer surrendering them to a field officer.
