Bennett, ol Dovei, N. J. This device opens and closes the inlet valve of the compressor ailtomatli ally, and la opei atcd at the sumo tlmo^by the machinery of file comproasoi. Mr. Joseph Torrna, of Rod River Landing, La., has patented 1111 improvement lu levees for pievciitlnglow lands, from Inundation, and which arc built lu sections, consisting of metal plates having one,end set in thei'itrth and supported In all Inclined poii'lonbya suitable frame. Tim Invciitlon'conslsts ol a suppoitlng frame combined with thu In¬ clined and partially Imbedded plates, mid consisting ot a base having uprights and In cllned bins seemed to the up'ights and to one side of the base. Mr. r. D. Hltrr ot New Yoik City, baa patented an improved huiglai alarm which le constructed with 11 spilng clamp connect¬ ed witli a bur Jointed to a suspended Iratne cariying-a clock work and gopg, and a slid¬ ing rod provided wttlui spring, and having hangers to engage with the escapement an- choi, and a catch attached to thcsusneiidlug bar, whereby the alarm can be readily sus¬ pended from a door knob, and w 111 be spi ung by the movement of the knob. A device for removing piston rods from orosS'lieiuls has been patented by Mr. James E. Worswick, ot Montgomery, Ala. 'I his invention la dealgned foi the purposo of 10- moving piston, rode from cress heads with¬ out the Injury of any part, and it consists iu a base piece having it threaded pro|eetlon, provided with a bore, and a cylinder lot mod with an Internal nut sciowlng on the pro¬ jection and connected tp the cylludi r by leatheis and adapted to bear against an an¬ nular shoulder in tlio cylludc-i. A patent has pocn gi anted foi a mechan¬ ism tor raising lines to the upper parts of buildings to enable ladders or other escape mechanism to be elevated in case of tlio. Thla mechanism is designed to bo clamped to tho top ot a {adder or telegraph pole, and by manipulating the crank a long rod,hom¬ ing 0110 end of tho rope at Its extremity will be e'ovatcd until the window or roof fiom which tlio people are desiring Jo escape lias been reached. Mi GomgeO. Daw, ot New York city, is the Invenloi of this device. What Is represented as a successful at¬ tempt to iillll/e the bisulphide of carbon to dilve a steam engine la deacilbed In the Lowell (Mass ) Dull) Courlet. With the 1 nglne mid heaioi lu use tho Improver, Mr. W. a. Culwell, gets an expansive foice ot 11 pounds per square Inch at the heatot 1)123, which iu the steam engine, with vapor ol water, la nil. Theclatm la made tor this mo lor that the objections Seretoloio urged against the use ot hlsulphido of carbon are all rcniow'd by Mi. Colwell's methods, which have been carried beyond tho experi¬ mental stage. Mr. Fletcher Joynor, of Glens Falls, N. Y., Is the patentee of an Improved center board foi sailing vessels. Thla invention consists of an improved arrangenientuf contrivances lor raising and loweilug tho center board, and lor hnh|lug It up lu the trunk of the ves¬ sel iu audi puaition that' when the vohsoI heels over by the foice ot the wind, the.uen> tor hoaro will maintain a position pei peudic- ular In the surface of the waiei, and thus have betlei jiiiwe* to kt ep «o head of the vesstl up to ttio wini than when the com¬ mon center ,bbsltl Is used, which Inclines with the motion of tho vessel An lmpiovod device has lately been pat¬ ented tor ascertaining the flow .of electrical current In a circuit, and fdr lecording such tlow.
