prying eyna of tho curlositY-hunter. There are
two cylinders. zach about II iuoAeB In diameter
and about u inchos deep. 1naido OF these

another M pino 70 ressrvo9r, much stronger than

wafer Ia admitted, It produces tho force which
pasaca through tho reservoir and thence through

ditonal weight Of 220 pounds can be
attached To- tho weight without detlecting
