The Practical mechanic's journal . NICHOLSONS NEWARK COTTAGE is a valuable adjunct to the economics of the kitchen, and theRoyal Agricultural Society have evinced a sound discrimination in award-ing it their premium, as the best of thirty-two arrangements broughtbefore them at their late meeting. Fig. 1 is a complete front elevationof the range; fig. 2 is a transverse section through the centre of the Fife-. 1. Fig. grate. The fire range, a, consists simply of a row of six vertical barscast in a frame, which is fitted to slide vertically in grooves, formed bya detached frame piece, b, screwed to the front of the oven, e, and boiler,d. By this simple means, poking is done away with, as the mere raisingof the front frame permits of the free escape of the ashes and cindersfrom the inclined bottom of the grate at e, fig. 2. The back of the grate,<7, is formed of fire-clay, in one piece with the bottom, e; it is also in-clined forward at the angle, shown in fig. 2, and a very narrow space isleft between it and the front bars, so that the mass of the fire is narrowestin the line where it is of the least use. A fall bar, It, is hinged to the top of the frame, in such a manner thatit may either be let down directly over the fire, or, by reversing its direc-tion, it will come over the hearth, according as a greater or less heat isrequired for the article or vessel to be placed upon it.
