Improvement on the electrical machine. -Haying
remarked the great efficiency OF electrical machines
when hot cloth was held under the cylinder, and
observed that this additional power lasted only while
it continued warm. MIR. Ronads conceived the idea
Of keeping The rubber hot, by fixing it in hollow
half cylinder Of copper, supported by hollow cop
per tube, at the lower end OF which was placed a
small spirit lamp, whose burner consists of only one
thread Of cotton. The prime conductor was also
heated in a similar manner, being supported by a
hollow glass tube, at the bottom of which another
small spirit lamp placed. MIR. Ronalds re-
marks, that cylinder machine, thus constructed
is always effective. He supposes that heat assists
the excitement, by promoting the oxydalion of the
malgum.-BreUSter.
