144 teeth. This is not the place to prove this figure mathematically. It is always better to have too little space than too much.

On the whole, however, I do not believe that this device would be of such great advantage as long as the wheel has only one spindle and only one thread is spun at a time. The wheel with two spindles, well-known among us, will certainly provide better service. And it was on this two-spindle wheel that I felt inclined to have this device attached, because the resistance when moving the hooksThe hooks on a spinning wheel flyer that guide the yarn onto the bobbin is greater there; that is why I reflected on this proposal.

The slider, which leads the bobbin back and forth, should not consist of a wide piece in my design, but rather of a brass wire 1/2 lineA traditional unit of measurement, roughly 1/12th of an inch thick attached to the bolt; and the bolt should not be placed under the bobbin, but to its side, placing the slider into the track from above.

In response to the inquiry regarding the transplanting of young conifers in No. 45, Vol. 2 of the Imperial GazetteOriginal: "R. Anz." or "Reichsanzeiger" 1794, let it be noted that the administrator Schoob, on the manorial estate of Röbdenig in AltenburgA region in Thuringia, Germany, has: 1) had 6-year-old young spruces dug up with the soil intact and moved with the help of a wheelbarrow, but not planted deeper than they had stood, nor pressed down too hard; this was done in loamy soil, where out of 25 schockA traditional unit meaning 60 items; here totaling 1,500 trees transplanted in roughly 2 days, only very few failed to thrive. 2) He had young pines planted in shaded soil during a great drought, which grew almost an ellA unit of length, roughly 24 inches or 60 cm in one year: (he had similar seeds sown on dug-up soil and had sheep driven over them The sheep's hooves would press the seeds into the soil at the ideal depth, which also progressed very well.) 3) He had a few trials made with the fir tree, which is said not to thrive well, perhaps because of its long taproot; it must likely be sown rather than transplanted.

To prevent chickens from flying away, one must support or lame the left wing at the elbow or joint with brass wire, as is done with swans.

Learned Matters.

Literary Inquiries. 1. Where can one find information regarding the Saxe-GothaA duchy in central Germany Chief Mining Inspector and Tithe Collector, Friedrich Heyn? It is known to the inquirers that in the year 1681 he made a journey to England and visited the famous mines in Cornwall.

2. Where can one find precise information about a certain star-prophet named Reichard, who lived during the time of the Thirty Years' WarA devastating European conflict from 1618 to 1648 and occupied himself with warning now this place, now that, or threatening them with the dangers of war? He caused a great sensation, as the rapidly changing events of that time naturally filled people's minds with fear and terror, and the hardships of such a long-lasting war spread a general state of tension. In Caspar Heinrich Stark’s Church History of Lübeck, this Reichard is mentioned only once in passing on page 845, and indeed not so much himself as rather his messenger, Conrad Matthaei. Even in the disguised Alethophilus's Epistle Concerning Various New Prophets (page 32), one finds nothing satisfactory. However, that our Reichard must have behaved quite badly is evident from the fact that the then-rector at RevalModern-day Tallinn, Estonia, Peter Liden, conducted an original: "examen visionum Reichardi" Examination of Reichard's Visions in a dedicated speech (Dorpat, 1647). Many writings by this prophet of doom also exist, in which he prophesies the imminent end and downfall of the House of Austria, the Millennial Kingdom, and so forth. The inquirer possesses only the sixth part of his works, which contains many appeals to the Danes and Swedes, CourlandA region in modern Latvia and LivoniaA region on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea, and to the Hanseatic cities; it is the second edition, printed (as it says on the title page) at WarnungsburgLiterally "Warning-Castle," likely a symbolic or pseudonymous place of publication in Germany, by Christian Gutfreund Literally "Christian Good-friend," likely a pseudonym, 1646, in quarto; he also possesses half a sheet from the same herald...
