TABLE AND !
Bt G. J. M0UANT.
The table is of elegant
design, and distinguished
by tho finest, workman-
ship! It was inado for
the Duchess of Suthcr-
land, and, we believe, from
her. design. The swans
arc painted white, the
lilies and bulrushes partly
gilt and partly white. The
bookcase is also white
and gold, and of very
pretty design.
A Self-acting Fihe
Alanun and 11 Alt WAT
Whistle.—This is an in-
vention by Mr. D. Lloyd
Price, a watchmaker of
Brcconshire, the novelty
of which consists of an ex-
tremely delicate and sensi-
tive expanding compound
metallic segment, which
may be adjusted to suit
any temperature by means
of a small screw. The
exhibitor having deposit-
ed two of the instruments
iu tho Exhibition, ono has
been since removed, by
permission of the Com-
missioners, to Somerset
House, where itwas tested
by being placed in a
room containing about
3000 cubic feet of air.
The machine being ad-
justed a fewdegrccs above
the temperature in the
room, a sheet of paper was
ignited, and wis found
suiiicient to raise the
temperature so as to set
the alarum in motion. The
mechanism of the instru-
ment consists simply of a
pulley and woight, and a
small lever, which is de-
tached by a helix—the
whole being enclosed in
a small case about IS by
IS inches, including the
small permanent voltaic
battery; and when once
fixed, the inventor states
that it would not require
to bo touched for years,
and would always remain
like a sentinel ready
charged, giving instanta-
neous notice of the ap-
proach of the enemy. One
of these instruments is
suiliciuut for a whole
building, containing any,"
number of rooms, aud it
may bo fixed in any con-
venient position for alarm-
ing tho inmates or police
iu the event of an un-
usual increase of tempera-
ture in any part of tho
edifice. It is also appli-
cable to tho holds of ves-
sels, where, in long voy-
ages, spontaneous com-
bustion aud other acci-
dents by fire are likely to
occur. The same principle
of construction is applied
. to the steal)i-whistle in-
vented by tho exhibitor,
and which maybe adapted
to steam vessels or loco-
motive railway carriages.
