The extraordinary improvement made in the application of steam to railroad and common carriages (p. 684.); a reaping machine brought to a high degree of perfection (p. 600.); a great improvement in ploughs and cultivators, by which 30 per cent will be saved in the power of draft (p.651.); and a greatly improved water-closet, garden engine (p. 545.), and shower bath (p. 656.), have been recorded as of immediate value in domestic or rural economy, or as prophetic of great and general public benefits.
