Trans., Vol. LXXVII. pp. 73 – 84.) Golding Bird in 1837 describes the electro deposition of nickel and other metals by the action of long-continued currents of low tension. (Phil. Trans., Vol. CXXVII. pp. 37 – 45.) Shore, 1840, used a solution of nitrate of nickel in one compartment of battery, and weak sulphuric acid and zinc in the other, for deposition of nickel. An alloy of nickel and tin made by melting under borax and glass was used for coating iron plates by Richardson and Braithwaite, 1840. The alloy was applied melted, as in tinning iron. Alfred Smee made an electro deposition of nickel in 1841. （Smee's Elements of Electro-Metallurgy.) Bottger, in the Journal fur Praktische Chemie, Vol XXX. p. 267, 1843, says that among all the salts of nickel the ammonio sulphate of protoxyde of nickel is especially useful in plating brass and copper, and is much superior to cyanide nickel of potash, as recommended by Ruolz. He proceeds at some length to state the effective<

gle-flue cylindrical boiler with steam dome. The boiler with numerous small flues was first introduced upon George Stephenson's locomotive, the Rocket, in 1829. It was mainly by the heating surface thus obtained that it was enabled to beat Braithwaite and Ericsson's Novelty, and Hackworth's Sanspareil. The inventor of the small boilerflues was Henry Booth, the Secretary of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company. Flues on a larger scale had been used by Smeaton 79 years before. Lini means of the cock g the steam may be shut off from the upper chamber if the grain does not require steaming; or it can be cut off entirely by the globe-valve h. The water of condensation is drawn off by the pipe i. Steam fire-en′gine. Mr. Braithwaite's fireengine, used in London, was described in Partington's British Cyclopedia, published in 1833. It is there described as a portable steam-engine, to move the pump-rod, the steam being prepared during the passage of the fire-engine to its

Wood-carv′ing ma-chine′. A machine by which designs and patterns resembling carved work are produced in wood by pressure. The material is passed between a bed-plate and a die-cylinder, on which the required design is cut. See also Fig. 1169, page 492. Wood′cock-eye. An English name for a snaphook. Wood′cut. See wood-engraving. Wood-em-boss′ing. One form of wood-carving, so called, is made by softening and then pressing in molds; another is a burning process. See Braithwaite's, mentioned on page 492. In a Parisian process known as Xyloplasty, the wood is softened by steam, and imbued with certain ingredients, which impart to it sufficient ductility to enable it to receive bas-relief impressions from four to five millimetres in hight. For medallions, bosses, etc., mastic is forced into the hollows, so that all tendency in the compressed wood to split or open is completely overcome. For book-binding purposes much seems to be expected from this process,
