The Lawrence Cargo Block. In order to facilitate the handling of heavy cases of merchandise, boats, parts of ma- chinery, &c., and save the time wasted in de- taching slings or hooks, Mr. C.C. Lawrence,of London, England, has devised a block which possesses some merit. It is formed of two cheeks or plates riveted together through a cast-iron arched piece, round which the hauling chain is passed. The chain is kept in its place by a boss or stud which prevents it coming out of the groove in the block. The end of the chain terminates in a slotted shackle, C, which is passed over the two | hooks at the bottom of the block. One of these hooks, A, is fixed, while the other, B, is free to swing upon a pin in its upper end. This latter is the detaching book, while the former may be used for the other end of the sling, and will thus draw the sling away when one end is released. The detaching is effected by a light releasing cord, carried back over the jib of the crane to the man in charge commended for cargy, as any form of detachment which would allow the load to} be released when in mid-air would be highly dangerous. The special value attaching to the use of this block is that the man at the crane can lower away and detach his fall chain with- out assistance from any one else. If the slinging chain is jammed round the bale it may be left behind entirely if it is attached only to the swinging hook, and the trans- ference of the goods may be much facili- tated by the use of several slinging chains. EE Hydraulic Pumping Motor. The accompanying cuts represent an ap- tus for raising water by means of a ydraulic engine, which in many respects resembles a steam pump. Water under ressure actuates a piston within a cylinder. Yo the piston rod two pump plungers, or pistons, are attached. By means of these water may be raised to any desired eleva- tion. The machine might be shortly de- scribed asa steam pump driven by a column of water under pressure. As the driving | column has much less pressure than that | which is driven, the apparatus has most of the characteristics of ‘‘ heavy-pressure” umps. eee 2 shows a longitudinal section through the apparatus; C is the main, or working, cylinder, and D the driving piston by which the two pump plungers F F are driven ; G G are the pump cylinders and H H the pipes which carry the water to the air chamber..

SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL. In a paper on THE COLOR RELATIONS OF METALS, and notably on those of copper, vickel, co- balt, iron, manganese and chromium, lately read before the Chemical Society, Mr. T. Bayley records some remarkable relations Tt ap- pears that iron, cobalt and copper form a | natural color group, for, if solutions of their sulphates are mixed together in the propor- When they close against | tions of 20 parts of copper, 7 of iron and 6 the water coluian, they have a very much’ of cobalt, the resulting liquid is free from GFF. CHAIN LOAD ON CHAIN This analogy is even more general, for Mr. ment is paper prepared with sulphuric acid, Bayley states that in the case of iron, cobalt and copper, the mean wave length of the light absorbed is proportional to the atomic weight. The specific chromatic power of the metals varies, being least for copper. The specific chromatic power increases with the affivity of the metal for oxygen. Chromium forms three kinds of salts—pink salts, identical in color with the cobalt salts ; blue salts, identical in color with copper salts ; and green salts, complementary to the red salis. Manganese, in like manner, forms more than one kind of salt. The red salts of manganese are identical in color RELEASING GOR TicKT SUCTION RELEASED whereby it becomes exceedingly tough and compact. French manufacturers have a very simple method for preparing the PHOSPHORESCENT FLOWERS, which sre commencing to attract so much attention abroad. They are rendered lumin- ous by coating the petals with transparent siae, and then dusting them with a phospho- rescent substance, such as Canton phos- phorus (sulphide of calcium) or Bologna phos- phorus (sulphide of barium), the first named being considered the best, and yielding a soft yellow light. According to M. Becque- | rel, a gvod quality can be made by mixing 48 parts of flowers of sulphur with 53 parts | of calcined oyster shells, and raising them to | a temperature of between 800° and goo? C. | Exposed to sunlight during the day, the flowers become brightly luminous at night. Mr. Charles S. Hastings, of the Johns Hopkins University, sums up a A THEORY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE SUN, advanced by him in a recent issue of the American Journal of Science: ‘‘ Convection currents, directed generally from the center of the sun, start from a lower level, where |the temperature is probably above the vaporizing temperature of every substance. As these currents move upward they are cooled, mainly by expansion, until a certain element (probably of the carbon group) is precipitated. Thie precipitation, restricted from the nature of the action, forms the well-known granules. There is nothing ; which has come under my observation which | would indicate a columnar form in these | granules under ordinary circumstances. The | Precipitated material rapidly cools on ac- |count of its great radiating power, and | forms a fog or smoke which settles slowly | through the spaces between the granules tiil | revolatilized below. It is this smoke which | produces the general absorption at the limb |and the ‘rice grain’ structure of the photo- |sphere. When any disturbance tends to in- |erease a downward convection current, | there is a rush of vapors at the outer sur- face of the photosphere toward this point. | These horizontal currents or winds carry | with them the cooled products of precipita- tion, which, accumulating above, dissolve slowly below in sinking. This body of ‘smoke’ forms the solar spot. The upward convection currents in the region of the | spots are bent horizontally by the centrip- etal winds. Yielding their heat now by the relatively slow process of radiation, the loci of precipitation are much elongated, thus giving the region immediately surrounding a spot the characteristic radial structure of Y ¥ -— ‘| i 1 } may a ee ee ee ee Se ae ee ee . ere or a the penumbra.” M.

When the water pressure forces the whole piston system to the left, the water in the left-hand pump cylinder is forced into the air chamber, while the valve in the right-hand plunger opens and water enters the right-hand pump cylinder. At the fol- | lowing stroke the action is, of course, re- versed. So far the operation is very simple, but the details of the apparatus for carrying this out are very ingenious, and show that | the designer had pretty carefully studied the | subject. The manner in which the ideas) have been put in iron show, however, that exhaust passage. With the valves io the position shown in Fig. 2, the water | passes from the valve chest K to the left, in the direction of UO, the rods and weights having just fallen to the left and the ma- chine having completed a stroke in that di- rection. Water is of course supposed to be passing from the cylinder O through the passage in which N is situated through the valve and into the pipe J on the right. It will be seen that only so much water is wasted at each stroke as is displaced by the the piston D ; hence there is no disadvantage in the large ports and passages.

Thus, a solution of cobalt (pink) is comple- mentary to a mixture of iron and copper (bluish green) ; a solution of iron (yellow) to a mixture of copper and cobalt (violet), and | a solution of copper (blue) to a mixture of | iron and cobalt (red). But, as Mr. Bayley shows, a solution of copper is exactly com-— plementary to the red reflection from copper, and a polished plate of this metal, viewed through a solution of copper salt of a certain thickness, is silver white.

The salts of chromium and manganese, according to the author, are with difficulty attainable in a state of chromatic purity. He thiuks these proper- ties of the metals lead up to some very inter- esting considerations. The latest scientific curiosity is HOT ICE. Dr. Carnelly, of Sheftield, claims to have frequently obtained ice at so high a temper- ature that you couldn’t touch it without burning yourself. Besides, he has frozen water in hot glass vessels; aud also main- tained ics as such at temperatures far above i Fig. 2.—Longitudinal Section. the boiling point for a considerable time. cilities or was not up to the American stand- | tirely automatie and continues in operation | iron (7 parts) and cobalt (6 parts) is identical | Experimenting on the boiling point of sub- ard of mechanics. | Both outlets of the pump cylinders are | connected by bent pipes with an air cham- | per, V, at the back of the apparatus. In) Fig. 1 the check valves are shown at U U. The rising pipe is shown at C. Returning to Fig. 2, we will attempt to trace the action of the machine through a| } las loug as there is water to furnish the power. ’ E In its operation it is entirely different from the hydraulic ram, and entails very much less strain upon pipes aud connections. Such a machine can be made available in many situations where a ram could not be used. In building such an apparatus it in color with a plate of copper. The resem- blance is so striking that asilver or platinum vessel covered to the proper depth with such a solution is indistinguishable from copper. There is a curious fact regarding nickel also worthy of attention. This metal forms so- lutions which can be exactly simulated by a mixture of irov and copper solutions; but stances at low pressure, he was led to con- clade that unless the pressure upon a solid was above a certain point, called the critical pressure, no amount of heat would melt it. J. Ballantyne Hannay, the artificial diamond maker, writes to Nature that he has inde- pendently arrived at Dr. Carnelly’s results. The Electrician makes the following state- SAE QAAVy SHY | which is of timely interest in view of the |famous researches of Bell and Tainter. | M. Blondlot finds that when a piece of annealed selenium is connected to one pole of a Lippmann capillary electrometer, |by means of a platinum wire, and a }plate of platinum is similarly connected to the other pole, a comparatively pow- erful electric current is deveioped by rub- bing the selenium against the platinum plate, as is shown by the deflection on the electrometer scale. Mere contact between ' the selenium and the metal produces no de« viation from the zero; but the act of rub bing readily gives an electromotive force equal to that of a sulphate of copper cell. As if to take the effect still further out of tne category of those already recognized, M. Blondlot has verified the facts that neither the rubbing of two metals against each other, nor an isolating substance against a metal, nor two isolating substances, can produce a change in the capillary elec- CN ae single stroke.

The mills intact contain the following number of furnaces and machinery: Pud- dling furnaces, 682; scrap furnaces, 11; heating furnaces, 268 ; trains of rolls, 178 ; nail machines, 420; steam hammers, 29 : squeezers, 3; and spike machines, 8. The capacity of the mills is about 675,000 tons of manufactured iron and steel annually. Seventeen of the mills make rails, only one making steel rails. The steel works are classified as follows: Making Bessemer steel, 1; crucible steel, best way to prepare wax for use in patterns, SILVEK-PLATED, FLAT TABLE WARE, in rich and that adopted by most founders, is to cesigns. heat it toa high temperature and boil it well, KS. to drive off any impurities it may contain, GERMAN SILVER SPOONS AND FOR and to harden it.
