I will now describe the system adopted.—About 1 inch below the coping a splint of wood, 2.^ inches wide and 1| inch thick, is firmly secured to the wall. This splint is furnished with hooks about 1 inch long, and 1 foot apart. Pairs of pulleys, 1^ inch in diameter and ^ inch deep, are fixed on this splint, at intervals of 8 feet apart, all round the wall. They are let into the splint in a bevilled direction, by cutting oft' part of the top and front surface; and each is firmly kept in its place by four screws, as in the margin. Small eyes are also placed below every other pair of pulleys thereon, at distances of 16 feet apart. In the ground, about 4 feet 6 inches from the wall, and 16 feet apart, two posts, 4 inches square, are firmly inserted, leaving about 3 inches above the surface. These posts are 2 feet 6 inches apart, and connected together with a strong piece of wood, Ih inch wide and 3 deep, nailed on the inner or wall side of the posts. Another single post is placed in the centre of the sjiace between the pairs, leaving a clear space of 8 feet between. The to^DS of the posts are cut out in the middle, as here shown, and the single one is furnished with a double hook for attaching a cord round. Splints of wood, § inch square and 10 feet 6 inches long, are then attached to the hooks already referred to, by an iron eye attached to the upper end, the bottom end resting in the opening of the centre of the post. ^^ A canvas screen, 2 feet wide, attached to two similar splints of (~y—(~~^ wood, is then hooked on to the top of the wall, resting on the pair of posts already adverted to. Wooden rollers, 16 feet long and 3^ inches in diameter, furnished with a cast-
