WASHINGTON.
The PASSPORT Sentinel says that the late
Andrew Taylor, engineer of the steamer
State of Maine, was q most ingenious me-
chanic. In putting together, or taking apart
large pieces of machinery like wheels of q
steamboat. there Is frequently a good deal
OF trouble in loosening keys and wedges on
account of the narrow space within which
the workman is obliged to swing his sedge.
Mr.. Taylor made little cannon or mortar to
be used for that purpose. 1t carried an elon-
gated bolt which struck the KEY head without
entirely leaving the gun, which was perforated
at the sides well forward, with holes through
which after the bolt had passed the charge
escaped. The force required was regulated
by the quantity of powder used. The appara.
tus proved highly successful and recently, in
taking out and putting in the New Bruins
wick's shaft it was loaded and discharged
about hundred times. BY its aid several
DAYS were saved in doing the work on that
steamer.
