moon and ſtars; and eaCh quarter'

of the latter, from the ecliptic at e and f, to its poles b and d, for ſhewing the la-* titude of the ſtars. In the North po-le of the ecliptic is a nut, b, to which is fixed one end of a quadrantal wirc, and to the other

end a ſmall ſun, Y, which is carried round the'ecliptic, B B, by turning the nut; and

in the South pole of the ecliptic is a pin at d, on which is another quadrantal Wire with a.

ſmall moon, Z, upon it, which rnay be moved round by hand: 'But there is a parti cular contrivance for cauſing the moon to

ſhifting theſe points backward in the ecliptic, as the Moons nodes ſhift in the heaven.

Within theſe circular rings is a ſmall ter reſtrial globe, I, fixed in an axis K K, which

extends from the North and South 'poles of the globe at n and

two ſtreng Wires, proceeding from its Eaſt and Weſt points to the globe, and centcring the

At

the South pole of the Lſphere is a circle of 24 hours, fixed tothe rings;- and on the ax-is is

an index, which goes round that circle, if

the globe be turned round its axis. The whole fabric is ſupported on a pede*

ſtal, N, And may be elevated or depreſſed upq on the joint of O, to any number of degrees, from o to 90, by means of the arc P, which

is fixed i'n the ſtrong braſs arm A, and ſlides in the upright piece R, in which is a ſcrew at R, to fix it at any proper elevation.

In the box T are two wheels (as in Dſir-. Long's ſphere) and two pinions, whoſe axis come out at V and U, either of which may

be turned by the ſmall winch W.

the celeſtial meridian, LL, 'down towards - the North notch of the horizon, and ſet the

horizon to that latitude, then turn the nut, b, until the Sun, Y; comes to the given day of the year in the ecliptic, and the Sun will

be at its proper place for that day.

Find the

place of the Moon's aſcending node, and alſo

the place of the Moon, by an ephemeris, and ſet them' right accordingly. Laſtly, turn the winch, W, until either the Sun comes to the meridian, L L, or until the' meridian comes to the Sun (according as you want the
