Modes.

1. Analagous to the
Hatching Hen

A large common
chamber of cast-
iron or tinned copper.

Within it separate
packages of tinned

the quantity used
at once

For the heat for
Madeira keeping
and malting, employ
Maritin
Conways principal

Or else, Store to
be a smoke-consuming
one, the chimney
curtain round
the chamber

In a Scotch
fishing expedition
the coal sufficient for fewel
for this purpose
would cost
the call

Or a smoke ving
one on L Dundonald's
principle.

See Watts smoke-
consuming Patent

For heat, employ the

Specific.

a Hot Cellar

improving, and or
transmuting substances
by means inclosing
than in vessels of a constant or
regulated degree
of heat superior
to the ordinary
temperature of
the atmosphere.

terminating with
the scale the principal
thermometer. In one part a corresponding
of the line might line terminating

glass

If there were a
number of thermometer
scales for so
many different binns
or partitions, they
might be either
ranged in one right
line one between another
so as to be seen
from the eyeglass, or
at the end of the
eye-glass there might
be a multiplying
glass- no this last would
not do - it is the
converse of what
would do.

The Jars, Barrels
or other Wastages
all behiled by laths
labelled with inscriptionand standing
out of the Water
legible if possible
from the aging
place (Col:II) so
that any one may
be taken out without
delay.

Table to be made
of the increase
of temperature
{Line Diagram}
according to the length
of the person's stay.
Correspondent observations
shewing
how much ice must
be allowed to counterballance
the effect
of a persons stay
in the Frigidarium
in question for a
certain time.

Decoration for the Panopt
a T to each Division
in Flint

In the Binns
& the Casks &c all
the interstices may
be filled at first
with Ice as far
as it will go, with
only so much water
as is necessary to
exclude the air &
fill up.

The Southern Hemisphere
of the
Frigidarium to be
covered with Vines
and in the mean
time with Mignonette -
(The seed
for sale).

The Northern above with
Mignonette, Pinks
Wall-flowers, Antirrhinums,
or other
Wall Plants &- below
with Currant Trees.

The Bricks left
on the outside in
steps - not horizontal
but making an
acute angle with
the meridinal circumference.
Of This purely for
climbing up -
purely to detain
earth enough for
the plants.

The plants might
be disposed in Equatorial
arches, one
above another,
so that when one
was out of beauty
the next to it might
come in:

Plant Strawberries
all round at the
top in sufficient quantity in good mould
& with provision for
delivering the water
then let the runners
track down

The Southern Hemisphere
at least
to be constantly
whitewashed - to prevent
the absorption
of the heat, & for appearance.

Modes of keeping
meat

1. Hang up

2 Laid separate in a pan
with a cover -
the juncture luted
by ice and water

3 - in a pan
immmersed in the

juncture luted by
a dry lute

4. - in a barrel
immersed in the
Balneum.


Straw in the manner
of Thatch
between the meat
& the outer shell
of the Brickwork
Which would be best
Straw or nothing?
Consult Count
Rumford.

Extract from the
Royal Society's
Register the mean
Temperature.

This will give the
quantity of ice
or water at different
temperatures
necessary for bringing
down a given
quantity of preservables
to the
requisite temperature.
