The beauteous maid, by all admir'd, To William's love was ever true.The azure sky their canopv. Was where they join'd the village ring In country dances merrily.She gave him ribbands, white and blue. Her smiles would oft his labour cheer;In autumn to his hut she flew, To aid the harvest of the year. For him the golden sheaves would tie, And, pleased, observe her favourite swain,Till Sol illumed the western sky, And rest with peaceful evening came.Rose was her William'^ tenderest care. His nightly dream, his daily charm ;Their love with angels might compare, So true, reciprocal, and. warm.Ah, William 1 hark! the death-bell's sound, And funeral song for Rose no more!The sable mourners gather round, The blooming garland waves before.And William to her open grave, With prayer-book bends his mournful Way,There takes a silent final leave, And wipes his crystal tears away.Sleep, pious maid I till heavenly power No more thy captive soul detains 1Here oft at twilight's solemn hour, Sing, Philomel, thy plaintive strains.And softly blow the evening breeaeAround her grave, with wild flower's fastiPatents lately enrolled.Thebaechen grove mearfy spring, From the German. HAT hoHow sound salutes mine ear ? " The death-bell from yon mossy spire I And now a weeping train appear.Mothers and children,friends and sire IA shroud infolds the lovely form, aA funeral wreath the auburn hair, Ofgehtle Rode; her mother's charm,And gently wave the churchyard trees, Where turtles make their downy nest HE otyect of this invention is to construct wheels of superior strength, durability, and safety, to those in common use. The nave of the wheel is made of cast-iron, brass, bell-metal, or any Suitable material; the mortices therein being made wider at the bottom than the top, so as to allow the tenon of the spoke to expand when driven into effect; which they previously make a saw-carf, or slit, in the wedge, and fix a wedge of ifon, or other suitable material, iu the said saw-carf, or slit, so that when the sjoke enters the mortice, the thick end, or bese, of the wedge, strikes against the box or bottom of the mortice, which forces the wedge into the saw-carf, or slit, of the spoke, and forms a dovc-tail in the mortice.

There is nothing ia the nature of things, to determine whether the two syllables of a dissyllable shall be both long, both short, or one of eaeh kind. Far otherwise with respect ta emphasis  And hence k probably is,ince it is founded in the very nature of that in the composition of verse, to the

almost utter neglect of passive quantity, rhythm, or the unavoidable pelsation of alternate emphasis and remission, still survives, and may be said to reign supreme lord of the ascendent. We again repeat it, is it rational to suppose tbat such a connate principle in human utterance could have been overlooked by the ancients? Presuming that it cooW not be overlooked, we would ask, ia what terns have tbey characterised its effects on speech, if these are not to be regarded as the essence of the ancient rhythm The conclusion of these observation will appear in yoor next. Crouch End .     J. GEAKT.to the Editor of lie Monthly Magasme. COMPLAINTS against the thought¬lessness and dissipation of authors have been for many years so com pendence throw the glories of a good character around a man, is necessarily to be an idler, a sloven, and a drunkard, with all their disgusting ef cet^nt. It thus often happens, that to write a book is to get a bad name, except some foe rch and song. It is not conceivable fine flowing cadence. True then it an accident of speech, which constitutes almost tlie sole regulating principle of modern versification, could have Wen overlooked, or should not have been deemed a consideration of the highest importance, in the composition and recitation of ancient poetry. Its existence emods not to be proved by authorities,things, in the action and powers of tbe organs of speech. Without an intervening pause, it is physically impossible to pronounce two consecutive syllable .

When this island was overrun teith beasts ofin the shape of quadrupeds, and awless bipeds, the baron and tbe man of wealth found it necessary to shut themselves within castellated mansions andcircumvaHated domains; and hence the vulgar association hetween such establishments aud a presumed high rank of their occupiers. The state of the country and of modern society revu ders them no longer essential to security; yet they are maintained as the effect of a false association; and half the stimulus of avarice would be lost without the anticipated grandeur of a monastic estblish raent, buried in the centre of e wood, and cut. off from rht cheerful irorld, and the healthful circulation of lip atmosphere, by damp end moulder It does not signify bow apparently bow unappropriate to ixed habits, how unvarying tho inani- male scene, bow much tho inmates may be visited by low fevers, agues, rheuina- tisms, and pulmonary affections; the manor-house, or the ancient monastery, which bus for ages beoo the residence of aebility, becomes, in consequence, the tseed of wealth, and the goal of volgar hope, to be patiently endured, however little it may be enjoyed !

The trailer braking system is coupled to that of the towing vehicle by a flexible hose and detachable coupling or cables. The trailer braking system is usually designed so that the brakes are applied and keep the trailer in place when these couplings are disconnected. However, when the trailer is detached from the towing vehicle, the trailer brakes will hold for only a limited time. For this reason, wheel blocks are usually used to keep the trailer in place when it is to be idle for some time. Provisions are often made for carrying wheel blocks on a trailer.Trailers are of three general types, depend¬ing on the manner in which their weight is supported. The semitrailer, the three-quarter trailer, and the full trailer. A large part of the weight of the semitrailer is supported by its connection (fifth wheel) to the towing vehicle, the remainder being supported by the wheels of the semitrailer. The weight of a threequarter trailer is mostly balanced on, and supported by, the trailer wheels; and any unbalanced weight is supported by the connection to the towing vehicle. The entire weight of a full trailer is supported by the trailer wheels. Trailers are made in many sizes and are equipped with various body styles, depending on the service for which they are intended. The connections between towing vehicles and trailers differ according to the type of trailer involved. Two main types are used: The fifth wheel (semitrailers), and the pintle hook connection (three quarter and full trailers).A typical semitrailer chassis (fig. 588) con¬sists mainly of a frame, spring suspension, axle, fifth wheel connection, and a landing gear. It resembles the conventional truck chassis in that its frame is made of two pressed-steel side mem¬bers with several cross members and has laminated leaf spring suspension. The wheels and tires are interchangeable with those of the tractor used for hauling the trailer. Figure 589 illustrates a semitrailer chassis with tandem axles for carrying heavy trailer loads.

When the range control valve is shifted to high range, oil pressure is admitted to the high range clutch (through line S, fig. 345). Oil pressure is cut off from the other range clutches. The high range clutch therefore engagesReverse range. When the range control valve is shifted to reverse range, oil pressure is admitted to the reverse range clutch (through line V, fig. 345). Oil pressure is cut off from the other range clutches. The reverse range clutch therefore engages, and the power flow through the transmission is as shown in figure 341. Steering valves. The right and left steering valves (A and B, fig. 345), are operated by linkage from the driver's compartment. These valves are modu lating type valves, which means they arenot simple "open or closed" valves but can be opened to admit more or less oil pressure to the steer clutches. The driver can vary the oil pressure to the steer clutches by varying the amount of pres¬sure applied to the steering control. This in turn varies the amount of steering ob¬tained. When a left steer is applied to the control, the left steering valve admits oil pressure to the left steer clutch, to produce a left steer; the power flow through the transmission steering system being as shown in figures 342 and 344. When a right steer is applied to the control by the driver, the right steering valve admits oil pressure to the right steer clutch to produce a right steer. (6) Pressure regulating valves (fig. 345). The range control valve body also contains various pressure regulating valves. Main pressure from the oil pump is admitted to the valve body through line.

When the turbine speed increases due to the application of the torque, so that it turns at more nearly the same speed as the pump, the oil leaves the turbine vanes with less of the reverse direction of motion mentioned in b above. Consequently, it begins to strike the back sides of the secondary stator vanes so the secondary stator now begins to overrun on its overrunning clutch. It is no longer needed and therefore, in effect, it moves out of the way by overrunning or freewheeling.When turbine speed increases to nearly pump speed, as for instance when cruising at steady speed along the highway, the oil leaves the turbine vanes with very little reverse direction of motion. The primary stator also begins to overrun, since the oil begins to strike the back sides of its vanes. At the same time, the oil begins to strike the front faces of the secondary pump vanes. The secondary pump stops overrunning and slows to primary pump speed. It now helps the primary pump and the two work together as a unit. Under these conditions, the torque converter functions like a fluid coupling.ile the foregoing description covers torque converters generally, some torque converters have more secondary members (aside from the pump and turbine) than others. The unit described is a member torque converter, with a pump, turbine, primary stator, secondary stator, and secondary pump. Other torque converters have only four members, while still others have only three. In every case, the added units have the job of reversing the direction of oil movement as the oil leaves the turbine when there is considerable difference in turbine and pump speeds. In addition to these variations, some torque converters have a lockup clutch that locks out the converter above a certain speed. The clutch acts much like a conventional clutch, but it does not engage until a certain speed is reached. As it engages, it locks out the torque converter and thereby prevents any slippage between the driving and driven shafts.

A few vehicles have a completely shielded system of suppressing, and in such cases usually only one filter is used. It is mounted in a metal box close to the regulator (it may be on the cab side of the firewallA capacitor will be found mounted on the generator, in a round metal shielding case. In most cases, the only bond is between the engine and the frame. Tanks and Armored Cars. The resistor  suppressor system used on tanks with in line engines and on most armored cars is basically the same as that used on transport vehicles described in a above. Usually, there will be fewer bondsand toothed lockwashers and more capacitors. Less bonds and washers are needed because of the heavy, bolted, or welded construction of the hull or body. Resistor suppressors, filters, and'capacitors are used in the same circuits as in the transport vehicles. More capacitors will be used to bypass the interfering surges from such accessories as Auto pulse fuel pump, electric gages, windshield wipers, traversing motors, auxiliary generators, and similar items.

 

The capacitors are always mounted close to the device causing interference, with the lead connected to the "hot" side of the supply line. The complete shielding system is used on most tanks having radial engines and on some armored cars.In tanks, all wiring is inclosed in flexible metal conduit or solid metal conduit. Very little bonding is necessary with this system. In most cases, only the engine is bonded to the support or hull. Control devices consisting of metal rods or tubing extending from crew compartment to engine compartment may be bonded at the points they enter the crew compartmentUsually one filter is used, inclosed in a shielding box. It is always mounted close to the regulator and the battery. Capacitors are used on the electrical devices in the turret.

Any other position of the lamp will not give as confined a beam, but will tend to scatter the light Use of Prismatic Lens. The light beam is distributed over the road by means of a prismatic lens. The effect of a prismatic lens fitted to parabolic reflector is shown in figure 243. The lens bends the paralled rays from the reflector so that the light is distributed over the road. The vertical flutes of the lens spread the light rays so that the beam is flattened, with the edges thrown out toward the side of the highway.Plastic Lamp Lens. On late model water fording vehicles equipped with 24 volt electricalsystems, plastic lenses are used. The plastic lensbreakage from variations in temperature and water pressure. However, the plastic lens must have special treatment or it will deteriorate.

 

Molded plastic has a surface tension, and anything that attacks the surface releases the tension so that "crazing," or "checking," takes place. Further deterioration may follow with the plastic softening, warping, and fogging. All this reduces the amount of light that can get through and lowers the efficiency of the lights. For this reason, plastic lenses must not be cleaned with strong cleaners, solvents, thinners, scouring compounds, or even with cloths that have any trace of dust or dirt in them. Clean water and soap is the best cleaner for plastic lenses. They should not be rubbed with a dry cloth as this will build up static electricity and attract dust, so that further rubbing will scratch the lens.
