Secondly, I claim the combination of the expansion heater "xith the working cylinder, by which the ~all of temperature consequent upon the expansion of the air or other circulating medium during the upward movement of the working piston becomes restored, and by which also the force of the said piston becomes augmented beyond what it would be if the accession of caloric effected by the expansion heater did not take place. Thirdly, I claim the heat-intercepting vessel attached to the working *piston,. by which .any injuriously . . high temperature . . is. prevented from reaching the packing of said piston, and by whmn also the very desirable end is attained of presenting at all times surfaces of uniform high temperature to the acting medium under the working piston. Fourthly, I claim the inverted position and open ends of the working and supply cylinders, as represented in the drawing. Fifthly, I claim the direct attachments of the working and st~pply pistons, by which not only the acting and reacting forces may be uniformly distributed over the area of each piston, but by which also the entire differential power of the working piston is rendered availabl% Iess only the friction of the packings.~In witness, &c.
Cost of Railway Bars.* "Mr. Brunel," says Herapath, "has lately completed the contract with the Rhymney Iron Works for many thousand tons of rails, at the low figure of five guineas per ton, delivered, for one of the Exeter railways. The rails are to be gtmranteed for five years, an6 one hundred tons to be deposited with the~company for that period as security against breakages and failures. Who will not make railways now?"
The Eastern Counties Railway. t The statistical details of this line show that the company "has spent in the formation of its various lines the really gigantic capital of 12,998, 207/. 2s. 2d., and that it possesses 326 miles of railroad, over which 1,734,390 persons were carried in the six months ending January 4th, 1851.
