loss in engine friction. They make evaporative tests of boilers and determine the percentage of moisture in the steam by the use of the calorimeter.

APPARATUS.

This department is provided with plates and a. cabinet of models illustrating mechanical movements and elementary combinations of mechanism. This collection is rapidly increasing by our own manufacture, and by purchase from abroad. It includes many of Riggs's models, and others from the celebrated manufactory of J. Schroeder, of Darmstadt, Germany. About two hundred valuable models from the United States Patent Office are also included in the cabinet. The state has provided a large mechanical laboratory and workshop, furnished with complete sets of tools, benches, vises, and forges, with flasks for moulding in sand, and cupola for melting iron. The studies are given by the year and term in the tabular view of the course. The order there indicated should be closely followed, that the student may avoid interference of his hours of recitation.
