"A small steamboat, which is claimed

"A process in engraving is described,
called pyrostereotypy, which consists in
preparing matrix by peculiar method
of burning it into wood and then taking
a cast of it in an easily fusible metal. In
this operation the design is first traced
upon the surface of the prepared wooden
block, and the block is then placed before
machine tool of peculiar construction,
the essential part of which is delicate
blade of metal capable of being alter
nately advanced and withdrawn with
rapidity. A jet of flame directed across
this implement heats it to redness, and
in its rapid thrust it burns away the wood
before 1t, leaving perfectly sharp in
cision. This process of engraving is not
intended, however, for the production of
lines of extreme delicacy, but has been
adopted very successfully in preparing
the geological map of France and some
other similar works.
An electrical recorder has been in
vented in England which is used to re-
cord the number of passengers in an om-
nibus or streetcar. This ingenious in
strument is fixed in some convenient part
of the vehicle; all the seats are in con-
nection Herewith, and every passenger
by sitting down makes contact and re-
cords his presence. The record is strip
of paper on which four pens make Sc
ries Of lines and marks. The first line
counts the minutes spent on the journey;
the second line marks the speed and the
stoppages; the third line counts the
number of inside passengers within each
minute of the time line, and the fourth
line does the same for the outside passen-
gers. All this goes on, so to speak, of
itself; the passengers are unconscious of
it; the conductor cannot hinder it, and so
at the end of each journey the inspector
tears off the strip of paper and finds
thereon an exact account of the number
of fares he ought to receive. The appli.
cations of this instrument are obviously
manifold, but in the manner described it
is likely to be of the most utility and SUI
persede all other contrivances for the
purpose.
