Pitt, James, Manchester, an elaborately painted oil-
cloth. The peculiar effects, the result of concentric
geometrical forms, squares, cubes, parallelograms, &c.,
combined with a tasteful alternation of colour, light,
and shade, make the work as extraordinary, even to
the artistic as to the ordinary eye. The floor-cloth
is 16 feet
.by lo feet ; its centre is covered by the
representation of the sun, white in the centre, di-
verging into lemon and orange coloured rays ; it is
formed of seven centres or stars, each of 16 points,
and, by its bright hue, ;
g•ves great effect to the
chequered squares and circles round it. There are
22 large squares, set dialuondwise, forming the outer
border, and as many triangles to complete the border;
and within these, 156 smaller squares, filled by cir-
cler, each circle having its peculiar pattern, and
being adorn( d by 16 smaller stars. The extraordinary
spiralhave and cancan-
tric in various ways not easy to describe. In one of
quite new
effects are chiefly visible in the outer border, where

which are connected with the pendulum. The power
