Near the ancient mining town of Falun the latest addition to the list of iron estab- lishments in Sweden—the Domnarfvet lron Works—has been built, and it will be of in- terest to examine by what means those who planned this large enterprise have sought to make the best of the natural advantages aiding them in the struggle with their com- petitors in home and foreign markets. After the decline of copper mining, iron manufac- ture became more prominent, and it was de- cided in 1873 to build at Domnarfvet, 14 miles from Falun, on the River Dal Elf, an | establishment which should embody the latest improvements, The Bergslag Railway, con- necting Falun and Giteborg, Sweden’s main a ¥%-inch iron casing, carried by an iron feet 2 inches in the widest portion and 7 feet ring which rests upon eight columns.

Being impressed with the justice of the complaints, your committee sought an interview with the managers of the | Western Union Telegraph Company, and were informed that the new regulations had been communicated to them by the managers of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company _ on the German Ocean, crosses the of analyses of ores given below, from mines al Elf near Domnarfvet, thus affording fa- partly belonging to the works, may serve to cilities for the receipt of iron ore and the | show the nature of the raw material worked. shipment of finished product.

The same proprietors own a third part of other saw- mills at Korsnis of about the same capacity, which are connected to Domnarfvet by a railway 17 miles long. There are also con- siderable facilities for the purchase of char- coal from the wooded districts higher up the river. The works established to utilize these waste products are situate on a rock promontory on the right bank near the rail- way bridge, where an almost unlimited sup- ply of water can be obtained for driving pore As, however, there is a considera- le difference in the surface level of the river between flood and low-water seasons, amounting in different years from 15 to 18 feet, it is necessary to use a power race of an inverted syphon form, in order to insure a proper supply of water at all times of the year. This has been done by boring a tun- nel, of 23 feet maximum diameter, through the promontory, a length of about 1000 feet, at a level of between 30 and 40 feet below tho admission and discharge sluices, which sup- plies about 3000 cubic feet of water per second —corresponding to about 5000 horse-power. This immense water power is utilized by nine turbines, the construction of which is extremely simple, because the e quantity of bark from numerous saw mills floating down the river will not permit the use of wheels having guide curves or any system of dividing the wheels. This necessity to avoid an liable to be filled with obstructions, naturally reduces the duty of the turbines, which it is estimated do not ee more than 55 per cent, of the theoret- cal maximum, helargest are about 15 feet in diameter, with four discharge channels so sha’ to a circular curve in plan and cov- ered by segmental plates curved to the same radius, working on a fixed center, that the waterway may be enlarged or contracted in order to regulate the speed of the wheels. These sluices are connected by angle levers on parallel rods, with a collar sliding on the main shafts which can be mov up or | down by a centrifugal regulator, driven off | the fly-wheel shafteand acting against a | loaded rod. Two 400-horse-power turbines drive the Bessemer blowing engines, two | 100-horse-power wheels run the blast fur- | nace blowing engines, one 400-horse-power turbine is used for the heavy plate mills, | one g00-horse-power wheel is set aside for two bar and rail milis, while three 200- horse-power wheels are used for other mills and machinery. The accompanying illustration, an eleva- | tion of the Domnarfvet Works, clearly shows ! how the plant is arranged. The ore is car- ried to the level of the roasting furnaces by means of an inclined plane. The original design included four Westman gas calcin- ing fins and four blast furnaces, two of each of which are now completed. The blast furnaces, which are ed a little lower than the roasting Fins, are of the ordinary Swedish t of charcoal furnaces, with steep es. Their hight is 54 Swedish* feet, and the diameter of the boshes 10 feet. The walls of the stack are made of thin fire-brick work, with * One Swedish foot = 11.69 inches, | stated, is run directly into the Bessemer ing hopper, which is closed by a movable ll eneoedhenenall rt J tp eed. i — Ln Apa ae fT ay . 4 Ps be mee meee oe oe ewe ty AT OEE = of many existing codes at great | reconsideration of the rules was impossible. abor and expense. The committee found that the Western Union had received the new rules from the Anglo-American Cable Com- pany, in a circular dated London, January 17. At the request of the committee the managers of the Western Union asked the managers of the cable company to reconsider the rules or delay the enforcement, but both requests were refused. It was learned that the rules had been adopted by the union of the European governments owning telegraph lines and by the private telegraph companies, | The reasons for this refusal having been ex- | plained to them, your committee then urged upon the Western Union Company the pro- priety of their sending another message to London, repeating their protest, and asking at least for a delay in the enforcement of the 'new rules sufficient for the compilation and exchange of amended codes. To this re- quest the managers promptly assented, but to no effect, since the Anglo-American Com- pany, in reply to their message, only re- | iterated the assurance of the impossibility of THE DOMNARFVET IRON AND STEEL WORKS. converters placed below the blast furnaces, | cone of the kind ordinarily used in blast about 20 feet in front of them.

One of the two blow- | cases the notice given is too short for the | ‘timely exchange of new codes. The com- mittee presented the following resolution. ‘* Resolved, That the New York Produce Exchange strongly condemns theabitrary and oppressive action of the European govern- ments and private companies having con- trol over our cable connections, in establish- ing new and unnecessary rules for the gov- ernment of code correspondence, thereby inflicting great hardship and expense on the commerce of the world, and that this Exchange also blames the Anglo-American Telegraph Company for the delay in the promulgation of the new rules, whereby the said injury has been aggravated.” The following are the objectionable fea- tures of the new rules : 1. The maximum length of a chargeable word will be fixed at 10 letters. Should a} word contain more than Io letters, every 10 or fraction of 10 letters will be counted as a word. 2. Code messages must be composed of | words in the English, French, German, | Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese and Latin languages. Proper names(i. ¢., names | -| of persons and places) will not be allowed in the text of code messages, except in the | manner they are used in ordinary private messages. Concerning them the committee says : ‘‘ The first of these rules affects mainly the correspondeace with England, where the Anglo-American Company has hitherto borne the extra charge e by the land lines for | | modifying the tenor or postponing the in- auguration of the obnoxious rules, ins ntioanaeaeeagmans - Gen. Daniel Ruggles, of Virginia, at the | request of the Senate Committee on Agri- | culture, appeared before them a few days 'ago and briefly explained his method of recipitating rainfalls by scientific means. | His method (for which he has recently been granted a patent) is to send up to the cloud | realm cartridges of dynamite or similar ex- | plosive materials in skeleton balloons, and | to explode them, either by time fuses or by |magneto-electricity, through light metal | wire connecting the balloons with the earth. | Gen, Ruggles, as the result of many years of study and investigation of this subject, claims that the diffused mists passing over regions or localities suffering from unusual drought may readily be consolidated into rainfalls by concussions and vibrations thus artificially produced, and he has, therefore, suggested to the committee that Congress might provide a small appropriation for ex- penditure by the Commissioner of Agricul- ture, to test the practicability of aiding the agricultural interests of the country in this manner. The committee listened to Gen. Ruggles’ statements with much interest, and requested him to prepare an amplified me morial on the subject with a view to their taking it more fully into consideration at an early day. —_— - - Capitalists and speculators have been ac- tively at work for some time securing op- tions on all the coal in the Connellsville region whose owners would become parties to such agreements.
