X ship Afgo was built, which was the first Greek vessel that ventufed to pass through Y the sea, by help. of sails, without siglls of land, being guided only by the stars. iD@- x dalus, also, who lived 98O years before ], Christ, made sails for ships, and invented several sorts of tools for carpenters and joinefs to work with. He also made sev- x eral moving statues, which could walk or
 run of themselves. And, about 800 years , before Christ, we find in s2d. Chron. xs. , that Uzziah made in Jerusalem engines, iIl- {, vented by cunning men, to De on the towy

 used before the year 1900. Likewise 5SO years before Christ, we read in Jeremiah xviii. of the potter's wheel. Architas was a
