Andrew Kloman. | We have pleasure in presenting herewith | a portrait of the late Andrew Kloman, of Pittsburgh, whose death was announced in our issue of December 23, 1880. Mr. Kloman was one of the ablest ironmasters the country has produced. Our engraving is made from a portrait painted some 10 years ago, but it is the best we could obtain, and we have no doubt it will give a great deal of pleasure to Mr. Kloman’s friends. Andrew Kiloman was born at Treve, Prus- sia, August 25, 1827. He received early in life only such rudimentary education as the free schools of Germany afforded, and was, at the age of 12 years, called upon to assist his father, who was’ Walz-meister—i. e., superintendent of rolls, at the large iron works at Marien-Hiitte. But as his parents both died before Andrew had reached the age of 18 years, he came to America, where he thought his talents and mechanical skill could be turne:| to better account. He landed in New Orleans on Christmas day, 1845, penniless and almost friendless. arnipg that Pittsburgh offered superior inducements for a mechanic, he went to that city in the spring of 1846, and after enduring considerable hardship, because of his ignorance of the language, he at last obtained employment in the old Novelty Works, which manufactured locks and a neral line of small hardware. This work ing uneongenial to his tastes, he soon left and obtained a situation in the steel works of Singer, Hartman & Co., where his me- chanical skill and industrious babits soon gained him favorable recognition, and he was entrusted with the responsible work of finishing and testing steel wagon springs. He won his way rapidly to the good opinion of his employers, and was acknowledged to be the foremost workman of the place. By working early and late and economizing his earnings, he saved euough money ina few years to enable him to start in business for himself, and in the year 1853 he began ina very small and modest way, by erecting a forge and doing the work himself, with the assistance of his elder brother, who had already earned a reputation as a first-class hammerman.. This was the beginning of what was twenty years later ove of the most powerful and extensive concerns in this country. Tne inventive genius and rogressive spirit of Andrew Kioman now to assert them>elves, and step by step he discarded almost all of the traditions of his trade, and devised original machinery and methods for doing everything required in his business. The outbreak of the war created a great demand for axles, and he invented a new method for making the pile from which the axles were to be hammered. ‘This consisted in making a bundle of 1-inch square bars, bound closely together, with the direction of their fibers alternately reversed. This made such a superior axle, that the “‘ Klo- man” brand was soon widely known and erly sought after. “Teens this time the two brothers separated, and Andrew Kloman associated with himself in business Mr. Henry Poipps, and they to- ther built the large mill in the Twelfth ard in Pittsburgh, now owned by Wilson, Walker & Co. He turned his attention to rolled shapes, aud made many iniprove- ments in their designs, aud in the machinery for rolling them. Fortune favored the firm, and it was so prosperous that in 1864 they consolidated with the owners of the Cyelops Mill, and formed a stock company to operate both mills, under the name of the ‘*Union Iron Mills,” Audrew and Thomas M. Carnegie principally owning the addi- tioval stock. Mr. Kioman, in pursuit of his business, invented many new devices and machinery, chiefly among which were the cold saw, aud a straightening machine which involved a new mechanical motion. This consisted in shortening and lengthening at will the stroke of a piston driven by a cam movement. Concerning the cold saw, although Mr. Kloman was undoubtedly the first man to apply this principle tu cutting iron cold, yet he was too honest to claim the invention as his own and to patent it, as he might well have done. Mr. Kloman admit- ted that he had conceived the idea from see- ing the Europeau watch makers cuttiog small spur wheels out of brass disks, by bearing them against rapidly r@¥olving steel disks of the size of a penny. He now began making improvements in the art of roiling beams and other shapes, and brought all of these to a high state of perfection. Wheu Captain Eads was pushing the St. Louis bridge to completion, he desired to ob- tain a reliable coupling for the steel tubes which form the arches of the bridge. After experimenting with cast steel for some time, he abandoned it and decided to try wrought iron; but the shape was enormously large— much larger than anything before attempted tn this country—and he doubted the ability of any American mill to produce it. In his dilemma he was referred to Andrew Kloman, who examined the drawing of the shape carefully, and promptly said that he could make it if they could pay enough to justify the necessary expenditure. The price was agreed upon, and in a short time the rolls were ready and the largest rolled shape ever made in this country was successfully pro- duced. Its width in the rolls was about 30 dnches. “Every individual coupling was sub- jected to a severe proof strain before being Tt had always been the settled policy of New York, Thursday, January 27, 1881. Mr. Kloman to turn his attention more par- ticularly to the manufacture of special shapes which were not generally. offered for sale by the trade, and his mechanical skill enabled him to carry out successfully every one of these attempted by the firm. The increased démafd for steel and iron in bridges and large structures, led him to turn his attention more particularly in this direc- tion, and the firm soon enjoyed such a trade that extensive additions to their works were made in the year 1871. In this year, also, the Lucy Furnace No. 1 was projected and built, under the immediate supervision of Mr. Kloman, who introduced into its con- struction many original ideas, making it, when finished, the most complete blast furnace which had been built up to that time. He divided his time between this fur- nace and the mills, and, in his investigations concerning the runving of the furnace, soon abaudoned many of the old traditions of the trade. He conceived the idea of abandon- ing the pressure gauge toindicate the proper amount of blast, aud introdueed the new feature of regulating the inflow of the blast entirely by the revolutions of the blowing engines. This idea of regarding only the §4:50 a Year, Including Postage, Stinale Copies, Ten Cents. and failed for a very large amount of money, | suddenly overtaken with an incurable dis- | out. The hat is then shown to be intact. ease of the liver, mainly superinduced by mental worry and overwork. After vainly endeavoring to obtain relief and seeking ad- compelling Mr. Kloman to sell out his inoter- est in all other business for the purpose of satisfying the creditors of the Escanaba Furance Co, and the Cascade Iron Co. His straightforward and manly course in this matter deserved and received the praise of the commercial world. Ho came through the affair with an empty purse, but with an undiminished reputation and an undamaged credit. Under these circumstances he was com- pelled to begin life anew, which he did with remarkable cheerfulness of disposition and | unimpuired energy. During the settlement of his affairs, he had conceived the notion of making eye bars for bridges by some succumbed and was confined to his house, where in three weeks he gradually sank, died. His death waseasy and painless. He was generous to almost a fau!t, and his sim- plicity and correctness of life made him a general favorite. He has left behind him monuments more enduring than stone, and in his death the workingmen of Pittsburgh and vicinity have lost their best friend and society in general a useful member. method which would insure a higher state SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL. of perfection than had-yet been reached, and with his usual clear foresight, he perceived that the demand for steel in such structures would svon become very great. He set himself, therefore, to devise some method by which steel eye bars could be made. He succeeded in bringing out the new system of rolling weldless eye bars. The process of manufacturing them and the maehinery with which they are rolled were fully de- Mr. G. F. Ansell, whose death is just an- nounced from England, recently applied the principle of his fire damp indicator in for DETECTING GAS LEAKS. The action of Mr. Ansell’s fire-damp indi- volume of the blast and making the pressure a secondary matter, was entirely an original idea with him, and is now universally adopted. He also invented and patented a rotary table, carrying a series of cooling boxes for the purpose of receiving slag from the fur- nace, forming it into cakes of convenient size for carrying oft from the furnace, thus | economizing much of the space about the furnace and avoiding the inconvenient and unsightly mess usually made in running slag out on the ground. The universal mill for rolling heavy and long bridge plates next received his atten- tion. Union Iron mills with his usual success. Perceiving the economy of reversing the mill, he devised and built an ingenious clutch for alternately reversing the motion of the mill, while the large engine run in one direction only. This invention was fully described in The Metallurgical Review and in The Iron Age. In 1872, Mr. Kloman, in connection with Joseph Kirkpatrick, Wm. Bagaley, Wm. Smith, and several other prominent iron manufacturers, purchased a large tract of land in the Lake Superior region, and built a charcoal furnace of 14 feet bosh, at Escanaba, and developed the Cascade mines. Although the mines promised very richly at first, and the furnace was.a model one of its kind, yet this venture finally proved his financial ruin; his own business at home demanded almost his exclusive attention, and not being able to watch either business as he should have done, and the panic coming on so soon after the venture had been started, they became financially embarassed in 1874, He iatroduced this feature into the | | ANDREW KLOMAN, OF PITTSBURGH. scribed in The Iron Age of April 24, 1879, | gases have different rates of diffusion and the merits of this process were so|through a porous body, the velocities of quickly recognized, that Mr. Kloman was | diffusion being inversely as the square roots soon again engaged iu extensive manufac- | of the respective densities of the gases.

The floor and the handkerchief are noways damaged. Some drops may be put in the hollow of one’s hand and burnt without producing ap | preciable pain. These extraordinary facts are readily explained. Herr Kordig’s min- eral essence boils at about 35° C., and the tension of its vapor is considerable, so that it is not the liquid that burns, but its vapor. He states that the liquid is a very volatile essence of naphtha, with a certain mixture of ether of its composition added. The new | essence is said to be obtained quite simply | from natural oil beds recently discovered in | Hungary, and the cost is low. The liquid | has a slight smell of petroleum, and produces on the hand a cold sensation like ether. | Herr von Krasper recently exhibited, be- fore the Buda-Pesth Academy, A NEW BALANCE, the production of a handy little instrument | designed for use by Hungarian officials in |the inspection of weights. The prism- | shaped steel bed, on which the middle knife- | edge rests, is easily drawn out with the | finger from the swallowtail shaped rollers, | between which it is passed in the body of | the balance. The beam can thus b> easily ;removed and replaced. Each weighing | scale hangs on a conical point, and the stop- | ping and raising arrangement is contained |in @ horizontal frame. Great accuracy in | the readings is obtained by substituting for the pointer an optical arrangement on the beam, consisting of two achromatic glass prisms, which render parallel the rays from opposite directions and send them to a tele- scope placed before the balance. At the two sides of the balance two scales are set (but on. the walis of the room); the images of these scales move in the field of the tele- scope beside each other in opposite direc- tions, and so the corresponding divisions can be read off. These readings are inde- pendent of vibrations of the telescope, and are much more exact than those with tele- scopes and cross threads, not to speak of the common pointer, The arrangement also permits of the center of gravity of the bal- ance being placed lower, the stability in- creased, &c. The weight of the balance is about 44 pounds, though both scales can carry 44 pounds weight, Prof. Wickersheimer, who recently sold his process for preserving organic sub- stances to the Prussian government, has patented , 4 PROCESS FOR PRESERVING MEAT for eating purposes. A solution (heated to 50° C.) of 36 grams potash, 15 grams com- mon salt, and 60 grams alum, -in 3 liters of water, is mixed with a second solution of 9 grams salicylic acid in 45 grams methylic alcohol, to which 250 grams glycorine is added. With this liquid the animal to be preserved is injected. In the case of small animals, 100 grams of the liquid for every 1 kilo. body weight, is recommended; in larger, the proportion may be reduced to 40 grams. Fishes, birds, and such small animals are not previously killed, but the injection made direct into the heart with a syringe having a sharp canuia. Large ani- mals are injected immediately after s!augh- tering, the liquid being introduced by one of the large cervical arteries. For cattle and swine, 2 to 3 grams saltpeter is added to the liquid. The flesh of animals so treated keeps (it is said) two to three weeks per- fectly good and inodorous. If the preserva- tion is to be for a longer time, the propor- tions of methylic alcohol, salicylic acid and glycerine are somewhat increased, —_— EE The Production of American Steel Works in 1880. So much interest has been expressed re- cently in the work of American steel mills during the past year, that the following data, for which we are indebted to the courtesy ot the managers of the respective works, are timely : In the converting department of the North Chicago Rolling Mill Company, at Chicago, the best day’s work 1uade during the course of the year was 531.73 gross tons in 8 } members for the Glasgow (Mo.) bridge, the first all-steel structure ever erected in this country, which was followed by the steel superstructure for Niagara River Suspension | Bridge, and the all-steel channel span of the | Plattsmouth bridge. But the cares of business and the death of his wife in the spring of 1879 began to de- press his mind, and he suffered much from ill health for the last year and a half of bis life. Notwithstanding this, he still attended closely to his business, and in the fall of 1879 he projected the erection of a mill cf his own, where he could carry on the manufac- ture of steel structural material in a more satisfactory way. Other prominent steel manufacturers of Pittsburgh, recognizing the fact that the demand for structural steel was rapidly increasing, and that their own facilities tor furnishing such steel were inadequate, thereupon decided, mainly through the instigation of Mr. Kioman, upon the erection of a new Bessemer plant. Mr. Kloman determined to erect his mill contiguous to and in connection with this new enterprise. A site was selected near Homestead, adjoining the Pittsburgh city poor farm, on the Mouongehela River, and the work of erection was pushed as rap- idly as possible. In the midst of a busy life and a career of usefulness, Mr. Kioman was ithe chamber through the terra-cotta disk interior cau be placed in communication with the outer air.

The Lackawanna Iron and Coai Company, at Scranton, with two 5-ton converters, pre duced 105,354 gross tons of ingots during the year, and turned out, as finished pro- duct, 84,361 tons of rails and 228 gross tous of merchant steel. more rapidly than the inclosed air escapes, | and the pressure in the chamber con sequently rises. This increase of pressure is utilized to move a hand on a dial at the front of the instrument, each pressure cor- | responding to a certain percentage of gas in the atmosphere in which the indicator is placed. The dial is graduated from o to 35 per cent. of gas, and is moreover marked to show when the mixture is and is not ex- plosive.
