PNEUMATIC MOISTENING APPARATUS. Com-pressed air is supplied to the atomizing nozzles at various points in a. factory by the main pipe A. The water is supplied by the smallerpipe below to the water nozzles, and is atomized and vaporized incontact with the air from the nozzles together with the induced airdrawn in by the jets. The wings guide the vapor toward the ceiling,and also collect the excess of water and conveys it to a trough below. 355. THE PANTANEMONE. A stationary windmill in opera-tion in France. Two plane surfaces in the form of semicircles are mounted at right angles to each other upona horizontal shaft, and at an angle of 45°with respect to the latter. It results fromthis that the apparatus will operate (evenwithout being set) whatever be the direc-tion of the wind, except when it blows per-pendicularly upon the axle, thus permitting(owing to the impossibility of reducing thesurfaces) of threescore days more workper year being obtained than can be withother mills so claimed in proportion to thework of the old Holland mills. 356.
