First. To find the hight of the apparent level above the true at any distance. If the given distance is in the tssumes many forms: cider-presses, lard or tallow squeezers, cheese-presses, are constructed to obtain pressure by a lever, which is depressed by a suspended weight, as at a, by tackle or by a screw. See oil, cheese, cotton, hay-baling press. Hebert's oil-press b has a standing and a movable jaw with a lever by which the latter is oscillated. Depressions in the faces of the jaws hold the bag of olives, or other oil-producing fruit or seeds. The operator is worth his weight in stones or any

having sockets around their rims for the arms. From each of the centers there radiates a set of arms, equal in number to the paddles. The arms are straight, flat iron bars, so placed as to move edgeways through the water. The outer ends of the arms are T-shaped, and to the cross-bars of each set of arms is riveted an outer ring of bar-iron. Inner rings, one or two in number to each set of arms, are riveted to lugs, or projections from the edges of the arms. The proportions given by Hebert are to make the diameter of the wheel equal to four times the length of the stroke, and the depth of each paddle 1/8 of the diameter. The first use of paddle-wheels may have been in the velocimeters of the ancients, in which an axis crossed the vessel, projecting over each side, and had paddle-wheels four feet in diameter, which dipped into the water and were rotated by the progress of the vessel. A tooth on the axis worked a train of gearing, so as to drop a ball at every 400th revoluti

A portion of the bed-plate is formed into a channel, nec grate, probably in reference to the Athanor, or alchemist's stove, which has not passed entirely out of knowledge, although the writer has failed to find an illustration of it. Even the ordinary dictionaries recognize it, and it is described in Hebert's Engineer's Cyclopaedia, London, 1850, Vol. I. p. 109; Francis's Dictionary of Arts ; Partington's Dictionary, 2 vols.; Weale's Dictionary of terms in art The Nott stove was patented in England in 1830, 1831.

t, in getting positions near McCulloch's camp, and now poured into it a severe and destructive fire. Gen. Lyon led the attack on the left. Reinforcements were rapidly hurried in the direction of Sigel's attack. Gen. McCulloch sent forward Col. Hebert's Louisiana Volunteers and McIntosh's mounted Arkansians, who, loving to the left, gained a position along a fence enclosing a cornfield. Here McIntosh dismounted his men, and the two regiments rapidly advanced in the face of a galling fire. was brought up to oppose it. Seizing the critical moment, Gen. McCulloch placed himself at the head of two companies of a Louisiana regiment near him, and marching to the right, drew rapidly upon the adverse guns. At the same time, McIntosh and Hebert, with their men, came up, and with a loud cheer, they rushed upon the enemy's cannoniers, driving them from their guns. This gallant charge swept everything before it; five guns were taken; and nothing could now arrest the tide of success on the

f artillery, and then attack in force with his left, and that while thus engaged, Lovell's division should press forward, and attack with vigour on our right. Gen. Hebert, who commanded a division on the left, was to lead in the attack. Daylight came, and there was no attack on the left. Of this failure to execute his orders, Gen. Van Dorn says, in his official report: A staff officer was sent to Hebert to inquire the cause. That officer could not be found. Another messenger was sent, and a third; and about seven o'clock Gen. Hebert came to my headquarters, and reported sick. Gen. Price then put Brig.-Gen. Green in command of the left wing; and it waGen. Hebert came to my headquarters, and reported sick. Gen. Price then put Brig.-Gen. Green in command of the left wing; and it was eight o'clock before the proper dispositions for the attack at this point were made. In the mean time, the centre, held by Maury's division, became engaged with the enemy's sharpshooters, and the battle was brought on, and extended along the whole centre and left wing. One brigade after another went gallantly into the action, an

red by this accomplished officer in the high position he has filled, the commanding general tenders him his cordial thanks and wishes him all success and happiness in his future career. The general and the army will long feel the sacrifice made in sparing the services of one so distinguished for capacity, professional acquirements and urbanity. In November, now being on duty in the department of Mississippi and East Louisiana, he was assigned to the command of the brigades lately under General Hebert. In January, 1864, after serving for a time with Gen. Leonidas Polk, who recommended his promotion to majorgen-eral, he returned to Johnston, then in command of the army of Tennessee, and being appointed chief-of-staff, served in that capacity throughout the famous campaign against Sherman from Dalton to Atlanta. After the removal of Johnston he was relieved from his staff duties at his own request, but he continued to participate in the Confederate operations, and on April 20, 1865, a

e north side of the railroad was three miles from Corinth. The enemy occupied the defenses constructed by Beauregard the previous spring. At ten o'clock the line moved forward and confronted the line of the enemy. The timber covering the slopes had been felled and formed a serious obstruction. But the men forced their way through it, under a heavy fire of artillery and musketry, and drove the enemy from every position held, capturing five pieces of artillery. The divisions of Maury and Hebert, composing Price's corps, continued to press on, fighting all the way, sometimes checked temporarily, but never yielding a foot of ground they had won. At sunset the enemy in front of Price's corps had been driven into the town, and the men, weary and exhausted and nearly famished, rested for the night. During the night the Federals were heavily reinforced, and strengthened their position in every way possible. Two hours before daylight Price's artillery opened at short range with good e

mainly rendered east of that river, fighting for the Confederacy, though his own State had fallen into the hands of the enemy. He was with the army at Corinth, and on the retreat to Tupelo, and in the subsequent aggressive movements fought with Hebert's division in command of his regiment. At the October battle of Corinth, he was painfully wounded by a fragment of shell, but remained in the field and at Hatchie Bridge was distinguished for cool conduct in defending the rear-guard. In the sprter which was fought the bloody battle of Corinth, in which the three Missouri regiments of his brigade, the Fourth and Sixth infantry and Third cavalry, lost 443 killed, wounded and missing. On the second day, and at Hatchie bridge, he commanded Hebert's division, took an important part in the fight and the protection of the retreat and was commended by General Price. When Grant crossed the Mississippi below Vicksburg, Green, commanding a brigade of Bowen's division, marched with part of his m
