IMPROvENENT.-we learn that Dr. vads.
worth, Of Portsn outh, this Island, has Invented
an improvement in Steam Enginery. which, from iU
efficacy, he calls the Power Wheel. 1t is subs,i-
tute for the shacklcbars and ay o. balance wheels
are unnecessary An engine with this improve Dent'
has no dead centres, and all the power Of the en-
gine is exerted on the weight to be moved We un.
deistand The DR.. hss a machine now 10 operation
that excmpli6es this improvement and also shevs
the difference in power between the power OF the
shacklebsr and the Power Wheel, which differences
he finds to be q little more than the power Of the
engine with the shacklebar; Of course an engine oF
so horse power becomes an engine of least an 100
horse power by only substituting ,he Power Wheel
for the shacklebsr. The construction OF the iuI-
provement is simple and may be used on an engine
Of any fashion.
