THE machine con fills of the following parts. 1. a door or common reg'tfter, applied in the flue of a furnace. The door is fitted in a frame, and made to Hide eafily up and down.

a. ballanceor beam, moving on a center; the two arms att of unequal lengths, the longer exceeding the ihorter in the of a to the extremity of each arm is formed into a fegment of a circle, whofe 'radius is equal in length to each refpeclive arm. Thefe fegments muft be equal to the great eft rife or fall of each nd of the ballance when in ufe. The length of the whole beam or ballance muft be regulated a conve nient In the walls of the flue, theframe, in. which' tne reguter niaes, is nxea perpenaicmany, 10 uiai waen tne re Sifter is down, the flue is clofed, when the regifter is drawn up, the flue is opened, and the higher it is raifed, the more is the paf fage of the fire enlarged.

To the fhotter end of the ballance, which a proper fulcrum, at a convenient heighth, the regifter is fufpend cd by a chain and a rod the chain is juft. long enough to wind over the fegment of the circle, at the end of the beam. The regifter is made fo heavy, as to defcend by its own weight. the diftancd of 2, 3'or more feet from the regifter, and on the flue of the furnace, the copper veflel is fixed, fo as to re ceife a heat from the fire pafling through the flue. The end of.

the longeft arm of the ballance extends directly over the cylinder, fixed in the and to it the phial is fufpended, fo as to, bang within the tube, and by fuch a length of chain and rod as 'will. allow it to be about a or '3 inches immerfed in the tube, when the ballance is in cquilibrio. On the fame end of the beam on which the phial is fufpended, a weight is hung fuffi cient, with' the weight of the phial, to over ballance the and raife it, and confequently open the flue. When the flue is. opened to a due degree, the regifter it held in that fituatioa, until fo much water is poured into the copper through thlf cock, as will fill one third of the veflel then fhut the'eock, and pour, water into the cylinder, until it rifes high enough to float the phial.

By pouring water into. the. cylinder, the air in the veflel is comprefled, and finding no way to efcape, as the vefiel is airtight, it refills the water, and' prevents its occupying the, whole fpace and therefore the upper part of the veflel is apparently empty. The phial is loaded with mot, fo that it will fwim about one third above the water. When the witer rifes in the tube the phial rifes with it, in which cafe the regifter A is fo ballanced, that it defcends, and clofes the flue.

After this defcriptlon, the principles on which the Sentinel Regifter acts, muft be obvious to every perfon acquainted with the elafticity of the air, and that this elafticity is increafed by. heat. For when the fire in the furnace increafed, the degree of heat in the flue is alfo increafed this increafes the elafticity of the air contained between the double bottom and fides of copper, and confequently of that which occupies the ipace a bove the water, as there is a communication by means of the holes already defcribed. The elafticity of the air being increafed it expands, and by its expanhon forces the water up the tube leis ailic "wftese)dh elxiilidt in witfi it'the phial to its ftationary point. By1 the defcent of pbjaj the regifter is raifed.

and opens the flue by whch' means it ftands as a Sentinel over the fire, and 'ptefefveV an 'equal degree of heat. That this will be the effect of 4he machine, I tan ing ufed it for more than ayear; rj It is fubmitted to the curious, whether this machine might not be ufefully applied, ift, to regulate the heat of chyrhical and alchymical furnaces, where lonff dicreftionsl and a uniform g. Yea are defired to give the following a Place in; your next degree of heat are required adly, in the making of ft eel, and i i i very enienaining ana amuung rapcr.
