its adoption. The cost of a boiler, and its we!ght, w o uthan l d b l ethe ordbemuch more than doubled~ it would be much less managa . 'uary steam boiler, and would, from this cause, be more subjected to the influence of those circumstances which produce explosions. As respects "the maximum that can be withstood on every square inch of the boiler," we are not aware that the data are known by which the actual force can be measured to which a boiler is subjected in many cases of explosion; we have not yet determined what, under all circumstances, are tile causes of explosions. This well intended efibrt to lessen the evils resulting therefrom will not~ we apprehend, be adopted by engineers. 6. For Cutting Coats without back, side~ or lapel seams; William M. Wiswell, Portland, Maine, April 10. To describe the plan intelligibly, which is the subject of this patent, wouhl require the diagram given in tile specification, and the references lhcreto. With respect to the utility and economyof the plan~we do not pretend toju(Ige. We hope, for the sake of the patentee, that it may prove better than a similar one for cutting breeches, by which we were once, ia our younger days, put " in durance vile," until they acquired, spontaneously, some slashes, aflbrding the requisite liberty of motion. 7. For a Railway Cooking" Stove; Anson Atwood, city of Troy, N e w York, April 10. Without fi~e drawings~ the peculiarities of this stove could not be made known. Railway stoves had been previously mad% the object of them being to enlarge or contract the dimensions of tile apparatus so as to adapt it to tile purpose of cooking a larger or smaller quantity, as might be desired. The manner in which the present patentee had constructed his stove was deemed, in the office, to present sufficient novelty upon which to found the grant ol" a patent, but we are informed that upon a trial in court it has been pronounced to be an infi'ingement upon a plan previously patented. 8. For a Corn Cultivator; John B. Smith, Princess Ann county, Virginia, April t5. The claim is to ~qhe arrangement of the perforated beams, in combination with the shifting and reversible ploughs, for throwing the earthfrora, or towards, tile rows of corn, regulated to any required width in the manner described." The two plouhhsg used with this cultivator are so constructed as that they may be placed nearer together, or further apart. When passing between rows of corn, or other plants, they are placed at such distance as that the horse shall draw them within the rows, and they are so sloped as to throw the earth outwards from them towards the corn. They are calculated also to run on the outsides of two rows, for which purpose they must be removed to a corresponding distane% and so turned as to throw the earth inwards, towards tile plants. It is the particular construction by which this change is allowed that forms the subject of the foregoing claims. 9. For improvements in Steam J3oilers, and apparatus to prevent explosions thereof; Cadwallader Evans, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, April 15. In the apparatus described in the specification of this patent~ there is a very skilful arrangement and adaptation of the respective parts tot the pur-
