Patent fountain pumps, engines, and hydraulic workingparts, in various metals, for beer, &c., and for house orgarden cisterns.
The advantages claimed consist in their reciprocatingand rolling action, which is effected without leakage,friction, or liability of choking from such particles as arenot easily prevented from entering without blocking upthe entrance to their suction-pipes, as small stones,shingle, &c., or from cargoes of grain, pepper, rice,beans, &e., the evolutions of the connector quicklyexpelling such matters, without receiving material injury,but which with the valve leathers are the only parts thatsuffer at all; they will pump up even from the bottom ofdeep wells, and drive up to a higher level any puddledsoil or half sand and half water, and that more econo-mically than by other means. Fountain pumps admitof more economical and simpler construction than thecommon piston and cylinder pumps, and by theiradmitting of either quick or slow motion without leakageor loss of power, they are easily applied to any motiveforce; they are cheap, simple, and durable, and, withcommon smiths tools, the most complex are readilyexamined or repaired.

Inventors and Manufacturers.
Improved patent hydraulic ram, originally inventedby Montgolfier, in France , and patented by him in 1797 :the English patent has passed into the hands of theexhibitors.
[This machine, which is self-acting, is composed ofan air vessel and three valves, two for the water, andone for keeping up the supply of air. Upon pressingdown the valve in the conducting tube, which opensdownwards, the water escapes from it, until its mo-mentum is sufficient to overcome the weight, whenthe valve immediately rises and closes the aperture-The water having then no other outlet than the innervalve, rushes through it, by its generated force, com-pressing the air in the air vessel until equilibrium takesplace, when the air reacts by its expansive force, closingthe inner valve, which retains the water above it, anddriving it up the ascending tube. By this reaction, thewater is forced back along the conducting pipe, produc-ing a partial vacuum beneath the outer valve, which im-mediately falls by its own weight. The water thenescapes until it has acquired suflicient force to close this,when the action proceeds as before. It is best adaptedfor the raising of moderate quantities of water, as forhousehold or farming purposes.]
