NEW AND 13.1PORTAN1' DISCOVEItI.

Lynian Cook, of Wliitestown, in the rounty of Oneida,
has ilisrovered a tootle by whirls a to rail he made
that will gain great power and velneity.—This machine
is partly e tooted of a wheel, and partly of curious
gearing, which is ingeniously contrived and applied.
after this whets! igloo into motion by a certaii. streng:ll,
ally number of wheels may be added ; vet that power
which at first turned the pniicipal wheel, is atitheient to
beep the whole in motion. By dimbliog the gearing of
this machine, the power and %Amity is ill lie donbled ;
yet the power that first rd the ai heel need
not to be anzimiiteil. This ucirhinr illny properly be
termed no air-envitte; for the first is heel will forcibly
draw much air, and rapidly discharge the same into
ether wheels, so that it is nut only all original, but he-
roines an auxiliary wheel. 'f.. esery which is
added may be given the appriiation of a principal and
auxiliary eughte, for the second engine receives air fr
the first, and from surrounding air; the third receives
frit
ataiosphere, and discharges into the fourth, and won.
Mr. Cook has selected one of the best mechanics in the
county of Oneida, to whom he has simile known the
principles of tads discovery, and they too have proved,
beyond a doubt, that by this engine a power mar be
raised which will surpass any that has ever been pro-
ditre,l by machinery. The mechanic alto built this en-
gine, being fully persuaded flout it will he seehmituted
for murk machinery which is now in use, desii-tis to
have the privilege and honour to build our on a larger
scale.—( 'tit yr, Feb. 15.)
