Regulation of Heat.—After an even temperature is securedin the egg chamber, a regular or constant heat must be regulator consists of a thermostat, connecting rod andvalve lever, the simplest combination in use on any known In-cubator. The thermostat is situated in the egg chamber, part. IgU^tSS PEC IA L NO. 21 below and part above the eggs. It is so sensitive that it re-sponds to the heats action with as great precision as any ther-mometer. It may be easily adjusted to any degree of tempera-ture desired, and there it will faithfully operate, opening andclosing the valve with unerring exactness. This thermostat iscomposed entirely of metal, no composition, ebonite or indiarubber being used in its construction, and it will not becomeweak or ineffective by use; it is not affected by moisture ordampness, nor can it be destroyed by being accidentally over-heated. The valve, when closed, covers the top of the lamp flueand obstructs the current of hot air, forcing it into the radiator,as above described. When the temperature in the egg chamberreaches the desired degree, the thermostat lifts the valve fromthe top of the lamp flue and allows the heat to escape from theheater, while the air of the egg chamber, or ventilation andmoisture, is unaffected by the opening
