mystery, as .here were no iniicltions that the

Another important application OF the
indicator, more recently introduced the
Invention of sure method for measuring
the amount Of power used by any piece
of machiaery moved by a steam engine.
This, of course, isa great advantage to
those who let steam power since the
lessee is thus prevented from actually
using four or six horse power while pay
ING for only two TO ascertain this, the
actual power exerted by the lengine e is
measured by means of the indicator, both
before and after the special piece of
machinerysis connected The difference
between the two observations gives, of
course, the amount of power consumed by
the piece Of machinery. -
The description Of the Indicator and
its use forms a proper subject for future
article. We shall hope to remove the i'm
pressions under which those gentlemen
are laboring who appear not to be aware
that steam power is correctly measured by
this MEANS and who continually suggest
new methods, or raise objections which
were long ago overthrown. alHoa ads ~

Z In these days of spring cleaning,
whitewash, brush and pail are free
ly used by the good ho'lsekeepers,
and none too freely, for aside from
the effect that whitewash has upon
the appearanceof the dwelling rooms,
its use in cellars, out-houses, etc.
is doubtless Of salutary effect. The
essentials in whirewashing are, good
lime and a good brush. Freshly
burned hard Jumps Of lime are the
best. The brush should be a good
one; not a cheap affair made to sell,
but with long, good bristles, and
plenty Of them. The lime is Stacked
by pouring boiling water upon ii,
stirring until the Jumps disappear;
more water is added, until a creamy
liquid is obtained, of proper thick
ness for application, the pail should
have stiff wire stretched across the
the top, against which to draw the
brush, to remove the excess of white
wash. Commence by sweeping the
ceilings and walls, to remove all dust;
then go over the surface, making the
strokes Oft brush all in one direc7
tion,. andaparallel !; when the first
coat is dried, apply another in a di-
rection across, or at right angles
with athe former. A large paint
brush will be found useful for cor
ners and intricate places. Those
who have never whitewashed must
not be surprised to see the work look
very badly while it is wet; the effect
can only be jud ged Of when dry.
With a little practice, the operation
can be done without scattering or
letting a drop fall Stir the white
wash occasionally, dip the brush in
perpendicularly and then draw it
across the wire above spoken of, so
as to leave as much in the brush as
lit will hold without dropping. Salt.
white vitrol, starch. paste, and other
things are added with view to pre-
vent the wash from rubbing off. For
nice work the lime may be Stacked
several weeks before il is used. "A
thin pellicle or crust of carbonate of
lime will form on the surface, which
is to be SKINNED of, and then the
wash may be poured off from the gritty
particles which settle at the bottom.
Kalsomiming is a term given to
another method of whitening walls.
It is Paris white, which is very
fine whitening or chalk, to be had at
the paint OF drug stores, and to be
put on with glue size. The pro-
portions are a quarter Of a pound of
a0h5te glue to six pounds of Paris
white. Put the glue in water
enough to well cover it, and let it
stand until perfectly soft; and then
put the vessel containing the glue
into kettle Of hot. water, and str
until it is thoroughly dissolved
Put the Paris white into a pail, add
hot water gradually, stirring all the
