of this form Of the problem. takes the novice
farther sway from it. It increases instead o.
lessening the difficulty. If he cannot contrive
to make the wheel itself take up on its ascend
ing side the descending fluid, it is worse than
useless to introduce more mechanism for the
purpose Every additional piece presents .
fresh obstacle in ITSELF and induces CORES
ponding retardation in the movements OF the
rest. Old projectors surpassed modern ones
on this point Not one recent specimen be-
longing to this large class of devices approaches
in neatness that of Bishop Wilkins-Oliyer
CromweI's brother-in-law. Instead Of water
wheels working all sorts of pumps through
levers, cranks, cams, cog-whees and pinions,
&c, &c, he combined the objects Of all in one
simple instrument An inclined hollow screw
through which the water was to be raised, and
discharged at the upper end on buckets attach
ed 10 the exterior of the screw. When this
idea first struck him he could hardly contain
himself-"it seeming so iafaliibls way for the
efIecting ola perpetual motion-but upon trial
I find it altogether insufficient" See Ew-
banks Hydraulics for this and other attempts.
OF another and very common class, weights
to move in and out on the arms OF wheels
Worcester in the seth proposition of his Gen.
fury of Inventions gives an example. He hada
wheel fourteen feet in diameter and forty
weights of fifty pounds piece The expert
ment was tried at the Tower, in presence Of the
king and other digntaries.
They an saw, that no sooner these great weights
passed the diMnete line of the lower side but they hung
loot farther from the center no sooaer passed the
dametsrlne Of the upper side, but they hung tost
nearer Re pleased to Judge the consequence"
In this matter Worcester acts the Charla-
tan. Instead of asking the reader to Judge OF
the result from his deceptive representations
it would have been to his credit had he ingen-
uously acknowledged that the wheel moved not
a hairbreadth except from the application OF
external force. Had the scheme been what no
insnuates il would have had better claims TO the
title he gave to another.-"A Semi-omnipotent
Engine" But let us continue our list of spe-
! cimens:
