the globe, holding in one hand the olive branch, and
the other p doting to the Deity
Scrymegour, Mr., Edinburgh. Model of a state bed,
carved in pine and fir tree. The materials used in the
upholstery are chiefly of Scotch manufacture, the
blankets, which are of the finest Cheviot wool, being
made by Mr. Crease, of Jedburgh. The bed is pro-
fusely but tastefully ornamented with various heraldic
devices; on the head-piece the Scottish arms being
beautifully embroidered, while on the foot-board are
emblazoned the crowns, coronets, and initials of all
the Royal Family. The bed is ornamented by various
appropriate designs

in diameter, in which every flower indigenous to

Scott, Abraham, Oldham. Sculptured figure of the " Dis-
tressed Poet," or James I. of Scotland in confinement

Skinner, John, Aberdeen. A momentary-motion life-
boat. This boat, whether sharp or full built, pos-
sesses the power, under all interruptions, of immedi-
ately resuming her original position. Allowing 65pbs.
as the weight per cubic foot sustained by this or other
air-tight vessels, we have, on Mr. Skinner's principle,
in a boat whose dimensions contain 247 cubic feet, a
buoyancy sufficient to float a greater number than
such boat can contain; and the same buoyancy is
maintained, whether placed with her gunwale up-
wards. on her side, or in any other disadvantageous
position. When inverted she will float on her fore and
after aircases, thus preventing the contact of midship
gunwale with water, whereby little water being left to
displace, the vessel is freed of that formerly insur-
mountable hindrance to self-righting; but from the
boat's peculiar construction the inverted position it
were impossible to retain .
Smith, Richard, Hastings. A pocket of hops
Smith, Thomas, Herstmonceux. Set of Sussex truck
baskets made of white wood, and capable of holding
water. The largest is like the ancient British coracle,
or fishing craft, used in the rivers of Britain at the
time of the Heptarchy. From this boat-like basket
the sizes diminished to the little toy basket so popular
with the rising generation in their diversions upon the
sea-shore

Sutherland, Falkirk. A table cover, or specimen of
sewed work of a peculiar description executed by Miss
Sutherland, of Falkirk. The ground is black satin,
two yards square, flowered nearly all over with endless
varieties of flowers and foliage formed of small rou-
leaus of satin of various colours, agreeably blended to-
gether, and standing in bold relief from the ground
Swift, John, Stockport. A steam-engine. It is made
upon the high pressure principle, and is much similar
to those generally used in steam boats, having an up-
right shaft, cylinder, and piston rod, the stroke of
which is about three-eighths of an inch. The fly-
wheel is rather larger than a common farthing; the
rim is of brass, and the spokes, or cross parts, of steel.
The entire engine, when detached from the steam-
box, does not measure more than an inch and a half
in length. The boiler is a cylindrical one, made of
copper, and is fixed on the top of a copper furnace,
which is lighted by four common oil wicks, and placed
directly under the bottom of the boiler, which is about
three inches in diameter by three and three-quarters
of an inch high, and through the centre of which runs
the flue, overtopping the boiler about four inches, and
terminating in a spiked top made of polished steel. The
boiler contains about one-third of a pint of water, and
will work the engine about two hours before it requires
replenishing

Stuart and Co , Buchanan-street, Glasgow. Specimens
of glass-silvering. The vessels thus made are com-
posed of double glass, having an interstice between
the two layers or coats, into which the silver is in-
serted so as to form a lining. The intervening space
being then hermetically sealed, the silver is effec-
tually protected from atmospheric influence

useful and ornamental articles. Among them is a
shower-bath, its drapery waterproof, and the
" shower " worked with uncommon ease. A sponge

Small, 1., Boston. Apparatus for restoring drowning
persons to life
Saunders, Thomas IL, Darentb, Kent. A novel kind of
paper. It has a water-mark portrait of the Queen,
contrived, not as the ordinary water-mark in mere
outline hitherto used in bank note and other paper,
but so as to give the gradation of light and shade of
an Indian-ink drawing, such as is seen in the porce-
lain pictures introduced from Germany. It is the in-
vention of Mr. Oldham, the engineer of the Bank of
England, and as its production involves many diffi-
culties, an opinion is entertained that it may form a
valuable addition to bank-note paper for the preven-
tion of forgery. The portrait is surrounded by a
wreath in water-mark of the ordinary character.
