THE advantages of the prefs are

daily more and more felt in every nation. To appreciate them properly, we need only compare together the population of the United Kingdom with that of Ruffia, and the different degrees of intellect in the two countries. The great mafs of the people in Ruffia can neither write nor read; there is little or no communication between the parts of that vaft empire; the mind grows torpid from the want of ideas, and the means of exercising its faculties. On the contrary, with us, every inprovement in the arts or fciences is a fpur to farther efforts; and the admirable plan of fecuring to each individual a property in his invention, ipreads an ardour over a mafs which would be otherwife paffive and inert. To record inventions and improvements fhall be our task-not in the language which is very proper for men of fcience, but what is accommodated to the general capacity. Thus hints may be fuggefted which numbers will turn in their own minds, and improve to their own advantage, and that of the public. From the fpecification of Patents we fhall felect what is most useful; and the Tranfactions of Philofophical Socities, and Works of the Learned, will

afford us a variety of materials, in which our readers will, we truft, be interested.

Mr. Chefter Gould's Patent for an Hydrometer.

Two glass tubes, with a bore about the fize of a goofe quill, and thirty inches long, are inclofed in a brafs tube, and by means of a fyringe or pump, applied to the end of one of thefe tubes, the air is exhaufted from both, Water would now rife in both tubes to an equal height; but if water rifes in one and fpirits in the other, they will from the difference of their specific gravities rife to different heights. The heights of fpirits diluted one per cent. each time are marked on a scale by actual experiment; and thus, when a fample of fpirits is to be tried, the fpirits are put under one tube, and water under the other: the air is exhaufted till the water rifes to the bottom of the fcale exactly, and then the spirits will rife above or below the proof-mark, according to their ftrength. If two famples are to be compared with each other, it is done by placing them both under the tubes, and by their refpective heights their comparative strengths are afcertained.

Mr. Smith's Patent for an Alarum in

Cafe of Fire or Thieves.

By means of machinery, the clapper of a bell is fet in motion, in cafe of thieves breaking into a houfe, or the houfe being on fire. In the first cafe, the opening of a door or window cuts a line, on which the alarum immediately goes; in the other cafe, wires and threads being properly difpofed, as foon as the fire feizes the part where the thread is, and burns the thread, the alarum, as before, immediately goes off, and awakes the family.

Mr. Majon's Patent, by which a common Waggon may occafionally be feparated and ufed as two Carts.

THE waggon is formed of two diftinct frames, termed the fore and hind carts, each having a pole; that of the fore cart turning upwards from the main pin, on its under fide, and is locked in at the back fludlock, the pole of the hind cart proceeding from the hind fhudlock through the pillow or axletree. As the projections of the two poles are to pafs clofe to each other, one muft incline to the right, the other to the left. Proper fastenings are applied by bolts and pins: the mode of uling them is defcribed with great accuracy by the patentee, but at too great length for infertion.

Mr. Davis's Patent for Sweeping Chimnies, and extinguishing Fire in them. AN horizontal bar is fixed on the top of the chimney, over which a chain is fufpended long enough to reach below the mouth of each chimney. To the end of the chain is fixed an expanding brufh, compofed of hair, cane, willow, birch, or other materials; this bruth is taken off when the chimney has been swept, the chain remaining within it. To prevent impediments in the paffage from the main channel to the flues, fmall balls of cork are hung on various parts of the chain; and, to prevent the neceffity of a perfon going within fide of the chimney to draw the chain up and down, an apron is contrived to hang against the opening, with two arm-holes in it, fo that any perfon may draw the chain up and down, without being expofed to the foot. In cafe of fire, a bag of wadding is prepared, which, being wetted and fixed at the end of the chain, and drawn up and down, will effectually extinguish any fire whatsoever.

THE meteor which appeared on Nov. 13, 1803, revives the memory

of the fire balls feen in the year 1783, which gave rife to the excellent plan then laid down for proper obfervations on them by the Aftronomer Royal: as a greater difpofition has prevailed fince that time to record there appearances, it may be useful to renew the directions, which will make the records ferviceable to thofe who, hereafter, have frequent opportunities of noting the progrefs of

a meteor.

The particular things, then, to be attended to are thefe: Firft, The pre cife time of its appearance. Secondly, Its apparent altitudes and bearings at its firit appearance, at its greatest elevation, its bursting, and its disappearance. Thirdly, Its figure, and the diameter of the body when at the greatest apparent altitude, compared with that of the fun or moon at the fame altitude; the brightnefs and colour of its light, and the degree of illumination which it gave; and to make a sketch or drawing of the appearances before and after its burst. Fourthly, Whether both the body and the tail burst, and how many parts this bursting produced; and whe ther this happened before or after it arrived at its greatest apparent altitudę. The length of the tail before the meteor burft, and indeed every alteration of its length; whether the meteor appeared very faint at first, and gradually grew brighter, or appeared very bright at once; and whether it was extinguished fuddenly or by degrees. Fifthly, How long the appearance lafted: Sixthly, Whether a found or founds as of an explofion was heard, fome minutes after its difappearance, and how long, and from what point of the compass they came; and as found moves only at the rate of thirteen miles in a minute, the obferver should patiently wait eight or ten minutes after the appearance. Seventhly, The bearing and distance of the place of obfervation from the neareft market-town fhould be put down."

The remarks of ignorant perfons may, by a little care, be made ufeful, if the perfon who wishes to note the appearance will go with them to the fpot where they firft faw it, and with a common quadrant and compafs take the altitude and directions according to their obfervations. The path may, in general, be well marked out from the tract of faint light which follows the meteor; but an obferver thould always be careful to report, whether the altitude he gives was taken from conjecture or
