PUMPING ESGlsrs-Mr VIM. Fa.rhairn. the famous
Ercsh engineer has lately constructed Cornish en-
eue with what are termed in marine engineering side
leytrs" at the base instead If large beam overhe 'd
He has a-o applied what are arrays used IN TINS
country springs TO receive and check the notion
should the parts, from any accident, stempt to move
too far The side levers in lieu Of the ord nary walk
ing beam co1- itute what should call ia America
a decided step backward, the increased number OF
parts ore than balances the saving in hight. Even
tor marine purposes, we of late have preferred the
over head b, am. There are comparatively lew Cor
nth pumping engines in Americ4 ard that few do no,
realize the economy of those in the Cornwall dstHc
in ErglaId. The principle Is that OF forcing, II ttot
