The Tegnander Rotary Engine. In the accompanying drawings we present a rotary engine of revent design, which, though not absolutely new, contains many features which are improvements upon older ones of a similar type, and has been attract- ing much attention and winning considerable favor in Sweden, where it originated. It is the invention of Mr. Tegnander, of Gothen- burg, whose representative in this country is Dr. H. A. W. Lindehn, of Philadelphia. By reference to our cuts, which are taken from the Teknisk Tidskrift, of Stockholm, it will be seen that it is a double-acting engine, the cylinder casing 8, Fig. 2, having four chambers and pistons. When the steam en- ters the cylinders it acts on the bottom and top of each alternate piston. Each pair of diametrically opposite cylinders are con- nected by the dotted steam ports shown in Fig. 1. As will be explained further on, the whole cylinder casing revolves, while the steam chest is stationary. When the port a passes the port d in the steam chest, steam enters the cylinders 9 and.11, Fig. 1, acting on the bottom of the piston of 9 and on the top of that in 11, thus giving the disk, to which the piston rods are connected by ball joints, a rotary motion which is im- parted to the engine shaft. A carrier ring, 23 in Figs. 1 and 2, is attached to the disk at two points, and by means of two studs, 25 in Fig. 2, which are fixed at a dis- tance of 90 degrees from the other pivots, this carrier is firmly connected with the cylinder casing 8. A universal joint between the disk and the cylinder casing is thus furn- ished, which while it forces both to revolve together, permits the other movements to go onundisturbed. The steam chest has six steam ports, three for admission and three for exhaust. By turning a handle the steam supply can be cut off from all but one of the steam {ports, and two-thirds expan- sion can be thussecured. For reversing the handle 38 is moved, so that the valve shown in Fig. 1 makes the ports for admission do service us exhaust ports and vice versa, and by the same means the speed may be slack- ened or increased at will. During one revolution each piston describes an elliptical curve, the larger axis of which is equal to the distance from cones to center of two diametrically opposite joints. An ane of this —— has been exhib- ited before the Franklin Institute, and was shown, during the recent meeting of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, running a brush dynamo-electric machine. From a report by engineer Lilliehdsk, of the Swedish Navy, to the Royal Navy Depart- ment, we take the following data, obtained during an official test: The engine experi- mented with was 3 feet long, 22 inches wide and 16 inches high, and weighed 185 pounds, and although it was not bolted down, it ran at a speed of 500 to 600 revolutions without moving, a proof that it was well balanced. A series of brake trials were made under vary- ing steam pressure and different grades of expansion. With one-third expansion, 57 pounds boiler pressure, and a speed of 587 revolutions a minute, 8.19 horse power was developed. By increasing the pressure to 125 pounds, 17.8 horse power was reached. Mr. LilliehO6k speaks highly of the ease with which the engine could be handled, and expresses the opinion that with a condenser it ae be as economical in fuel as a com- pound engine. a SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL, A French manufacturing firm, Messrs. Serpollet, have patented A PECULIAR METHOD OF GENERATING STEAM. At each stroke of the piston of the engine a certain quantity of water is projected against two strongly-heated metal plates. The steam so produced goes direct into the cylinder, so that in this arrangement not only a special generator, but also the valve- system for the entering steam, is super- fluous. The mode of action is similar to Hock’s petroleum motor, Inthe example given in Dingler’s Journal, the vaporizing surface consists of two metallic cones, one within the other, with an interval of about 0,04 inch between. The hollow space is di- vided into two chambers, each of which is connected with one side of the cylinder. The gases play first on the inner surface of the double cone, then on the outer. Mr. Alexander Adams, of the English Post Office Telegraph Department, reports that he has observed the existence of ELECTRIC TIDES IN TELEGRAPH CIRCUITS. By long-continued observations he has de- termined distinct variations of strength in those earth currents which are invariably present on all telegraphic wires, following the different diurnal positions of the moon with respect to the earth. He read a paper on the subject at a recent meeting of the Society of Telegraph Engineers. M. Mallet has recently published addi- tional data on the working of : COMPOUND LOCOMOTIVES. A locomotive built accerding to his plans was first exhibited at the Paris Exhibition, and some time later he read before the English Institution of Mechanical Engineers a paper describing it and giving particulars as to its working on the Bayonne and Bearrity Railroad, France, From his latest report it appears that his engines required 3.3 pounds of fuel per horse-power per hour, They weigh full 196 tons, have a | small cylinder 9.45 inches in diameter and a large one 15.75 inches in diameter, with a 17.72-inch stroke, The steam pressure is 150 pounds. The quantity of fuel consumed during times of heavy traffic was 13.8 pounds per train mile. In view of the) growing use of high pressure compound stationary engines, these results are of much interest. Sig. Rosio, of the Royal Italian Marine Academy, has devised an apparatus for MEASURING THE TORSION OF THE AXLES OF MACHINES IN MOTION BY THE USE OF THE TELEPHONE, The apparatus is described as follows: Two precisely similar brass wheels, of somewhat larger diameter than the shaft, are attached to the latter, at the greatest distance apart which circumstances will allow. Each of these wheels is provided with the same num- | ber of exactly similar and equally spaced | vanes of soft iron. The wheels must be so depend upon the number of vanes, the speed of revolution of the shaft, and the angle between the corresponding vanes, i. e., the amount of the torsion. If, however, the coil nearest to the driving machine be arranged in such a manner that it can be moved along the circumference of a fixed | graduated circle, concentric with the shaft, but independent of the motion of the latter, at a certain instant the telephone will be quite silent, or else give out a note of mini- mum intensity. In view of the known existence of large deposits of ozocerite in Southern Utah, the following data on THE MANUFACTURE OF PARAFFINE FROM OZOCERITE, a mineral wax, in Austria, will be of in- terest. The crude mineral is melted with water, in order to remove any sand or other earthy impurities with which it is likely to be mixed. It is then placed that a plane passing through the axis | run into cakes weighing about 2 pounds of the shaft and the center of a vane on one | each. By another process the crude hydro- | of the wheels, must also intersect the center ! carbon is first melted and then drawn off; ‘the last six months (for some of the main W < Viwum, - 7 NG Lt Ny.

A, FORD. A short, quick and accurate method for the estimation of manganese in irons, steels and spiegels has been very much needed for some time past, but now more than ever, as we find that manganese plays such an im- portant part in the manufacture of steel by the Bessemer process, and it has become as necessary to know the amount of manganese in our mixtures of iron as of silicon. The method which has been in use in the labora- tory of the Edgar Thomson Steel Works for of a vane on the other wheel.

Consequently the induction currents will no longer neutra- lize each other, although they are opposite in direction, because they are not induced at the same instant, and the telephone will time since.

Having fitted the cork thus arranged into the cask, put into the tube a piece of asbes- tos. Through this filter the nitric acid solu- tion of steel, spiegel or iron. The manganese will all remain upon the filter. I have never found a trace of manganese in the filtrate. Rinse then the dish or beaker in which the iron was dissolved with strong nitric acid, pour it upon the filter and wash the filter with strong nitric acid until the washings come through colorless. The funnel-shaped tube is removed from the flask; the filter, with its contents, pushed back into the dish or beaker in which the solution was made; hydrochloric acid added and boiled until the cxide of manganese is decomposed and chloride is formed. The asbestos is then filtered off. In doing this it is best to resort to the pump and the same tube, filtering into another flask ; wash with hot water ; nearly neutralize with ammonia ; add a very small quantity of acetate of soda and boil; filter; wash slightly with hot water ; redissolve the small quantity of oxide of iron in hydrochloric acid (as I always find it contains a small amount of man- ganese, no matter how thoroughly washed), and again nearly neutralize with ammonia and add a small crystal of the acetate of soda, boil and filter. Add this filtrate to the first filtrate, heat to nearly boiling, and add an excess of microcosmic salt. Then make slightly ammoniagcal and boil, stirring until the precipitate assumes the well-known silky appearance of the phosphate of am- monia and manganese. Allow to settle and filter ; wash with hot water, dry, ignite and weigh as pyrophosphate of manganese. This process works exceedingly well on blast fur- nace slags, which should be dissolved in hydrochloric acid and evaporated to dryness. The nitric acid is then added and the pro- cess continued the same as for steel or iron. To free it from the lime, however, a more thorough washing with the strong nitric acid is required. The great advantage of this method is in its brevity and simplicity, a person with some little practice being able to complete three or four determinations 1n two hours. At the same time it gives results which var but slightly the one from the other, the dif- ference never being greater than one or two hundredths of one per cent., and also ac- cording very closely with results obtained by the long, tedious acetic process. In the iron solution filtered from the oxide of man- ganese I never found a trace of manganese, and in the solution filtered from the phos- phate, neither bromine nor sulphide of am- monium gives the slightest precipitate of manganese, Evaporation to dryness in the ease of steels or spiegel is not absolutely necessary, but they may be at once dissolved in the strong nitric acid, then adding the chlorate of potash, &c. I never found a trace of silica in my phosphate of manganese obtained from a steel or spiegel treated in this way. A singular calculation has been made by some foreign arithmeticians of the extent to which steam power has developed. Eng- land, it is said, derives from the employment of her wealth of coal 7,000,000 of horse- power per annum; the United States, 7,500,000; Germany, 4,000,000; France, 3,000,000; Austria, 1,500,000, This is exclusive of locomotive power ; and as, in the Old and New World, the total number of locomotives exceeds 105,000, which are working on some 220,000 miles of railway, the horse-power is reckoned at 30,000,000. In France the horse-power of the locomo- tives 2,358,993, in addition to 8177 belong- ing to fixed engines. Steamers, not reck- oning the ships of war, employ 173,039 horse-power ; industries generally, 484,241. The total horse-power of all the machines and engines worked by steam in the world is estimated at 80,0c0,000. Now, each horse is equal to at least 10 men, so that the steam power of the globe represents a daily working power of 800,000,000 men. The population of the globe has been reckoned by two German savants at 1.455,923,000, and the number of males between 15 and 65 years at about one-third of the popula- tion ; this, in round numbers, gives the total of men of the working age at 500,000,000. As ths steam-engine does the work of about 800,000,000 men, it follows that, since the invention of Watt and Stephenson spread its beneficient influence over all civilized countries, the resources of industry have been nearly trebled. And all this has been accomplished before the steam-engine, as a perfected practical agent, is half a century old. — ‘ A monster petition has been presented to the Dominion Legislature asking for the removal of coal duties, which place the cities and towns of Ontario at a disadvantage with the industries of Great Britain and the United States. The prayer, however, is not likely to be heeded.

The committee is of the opinion that neither the length of the hoop iron, nor the punched holes, nor that other device of a riveted buckle, or other change or contriv- ance, should remove it from the special designation of hoop iron, and relieve it from like duty. The iron, of whatever length, whether it be 4 feet or 20 feet, should bear the same duty, and any added labor, skilled or unskilled, to the iron itself of whatever form, instead of furnishing any reason for a reduction of the duty, upon the accepted principles of tariff iegislation, gives the best reason why the duty should be increased, in justice to American labor and American manufactures. To hold any other view would be to make our revenue laws ready instru- ments for evasion and fraud. One dollar a ton in many cases will put the iron above considered in a form which evades the speci- fic duty of 1% to 2 cents per pound, and transfers it to the title of ‘‘ manufactures,” where the Treasury would receive from $15 to $16 per ton less than is now paid upon the in hoop or bariron. It surely will not be contended that this is fair. It will be found that the report of the Ways and Means Committee to the House, in the second session of the 46th Congress (Report No. 1308), presented by Mr. Tucker, although differing t:>m the recommendation here made, confesses ‘‘ that the committee seés no reason for putting different rates on these several classes, upon hoop and scroll iron, and the question therefore is—Sball the same rate be im * The almost wavarying principle of adjusting duties in The report of the sub-committee of the Ways and Means, on the substitute offered by Mr. McKinley for the motion of Mr. The substitute offered is an amendment to a clause of section 2504 of the Revised Statutes, which is in the following words : ‘** Manufactures, articles, vessels and wares, not otherwise provided for, of brass, iron, lead, pewter and tin or other metal (except gold, silver, platina, copper and steel), or of which either of these metals shall be the component material of chief value; 35 per centum ad valorem.” The purpose of the bill is to provide against a large class of evasions of the revenue laws, and to pre- vent frauds which are practiced under apparent legal sanction, and which, although violating the manifest intent of the statute, are held, under a long line of executive rulings, to be technically legal. The Secre- tary of the Treasury, in a letter to a mem- ber of the committee, under date of Febru- a 8, speaking of this subject, says: ‘*Some rule should be clearly defined as to where hoop, bar, plate or other forms of iron cease to be of such description and become manufactures of iron. It would seem that a general rule might be stated that in no case shall the manufactured iron bear a less duty than theiron of which it is The bill is meant to reach this and other cases of like character. The clause which it is proposed to amend is the usual one found in general tariff laws, and is intended to cover such manufactures as were left out of a ial designation, because unknown or having no commercial designation, and unforeseen at the time of the enactment of thelaw. The result has been that many new forms manufactured since the passage of the law, or if then manufactured not before im- ported, have escaped the full duty, which, in simple fairness, they ought to bear, and although such new forms are in an advanced stage of manufacture, yet they are admit- ted at a less rate than that applicable to the material of which they are made. The resent law, as interpreted by the Treasury partment, requires only a statement of its operations to make apparent its gross in- equality, and render obvious the justice of By Py moa to the statute it will be found that iron which is used for wagon tires pays a duty of 1} cents per pound, and that oop iron, such as is used for barrel hoops, pays the same duty ; but should any amount of labor, no matter how trifling, be expended upon the above forms of iron, and which would not essentially increase their value but would give a new commercial designa- tion to the product, under the existing inter- F the law they are admitted at a mueh lower rate of duty than though they had been imported without any added labor or expense. It surely was not the purpose of the law that bar iron, which pays a duty of 1% cents per pound, if found cut in unched into the ends, and ing wagon tires, should pay a less duty than the bar iron having no such labor or con- trivance added. And yet this is the inter- pretation of the existing law, and, in the opinion of your committee, is only an in- vitation to foreign manufacturers to expend the smallest amount of labor upon bar iron of standard — by cutting and punch- ing it, to wholly escape the specific duty imposed by the law. The labor thus per- formed would be profitably rewarded, even if it had no other utility, in the greatly re- The same is true of hoop iron, which, as ¥% cents per pound ; but if cut into lengths, and a buckle or loop riveted thereto, it is at once trans- formed from hoop iron to the genera! classi- fication called manufactures, and bears only a duty of 35 per cent ad valorem. A like condition is found as to galvanized iron, which bears a duty of 2 cents per pound; but when imported in plates of a peculiar construction, to be used for roofing, is held to be dutiable as ‘ manufactures ” of iron at 35 per cent. ad valorem. Coal-hods, manu- factured exclusively of galvanized iron, pay a very much less duty than simple galvan- ized iron, notwithstanding the increased labor and expense employed to put it in that form. It is done by foreign labor, and yet comes in at a less duty than the plain gal- vanized iron—a marked discrimination in can laborer. The same is true as to bar and plate iron, which pays a specific duty ; but for’ the manufacture of tanks, escapes the 3 Manu-| this country upon imports has been to impose a higher rate of duty upon manufactured articles than upon the crude or raw ma- terial, or the material in its simpler form ; the duty to be increased as the labor expended thereon is increased, the purpose being to encourage Ainerican manufactur- ing, and to provide employment for labor. That this has been the governing principle is well sustained by the report of the minor- ity of the Ways and Means Committee, May II, 1880, which is here quoted : ‘* These principles were clearly recognized in the first tariff act (being the second law passed by the first Congress, July 4, 1789), and finds repeated illustration in every gen- eral tariff law since enacted. The act of April 12, 1816, sometimes called the Calhoun tariff (3 Statutes at Large, 312), imposed on hoop-iron (as the more advanced manufac- ture) a duty of $2.50 per hundredweight, while the duty on bars and bolts (the less advanced), made by rolling, was $1.50 per hundredweight. ‘the act of April 20, 1818, (3 Statutes at Large, 460), imposed a duty of 50 cents per hundredweight on pig iron; on castings, 75 cents per hun- dredweight; on spikes, 3 cents per pound; and on nails, 4 cents per pound. By the act of May 24, 1824, (4 Statutes at Large, 27), the duty on bar and bolt iron, not made by rolling, was gO cents per hundredweight ; on nail-rods and hoop-iron, 3 cents per pound; and on iron wire, g cents per pound. The same propor- tional rates were maintained in the act of July 14, 1832, (4 Statutes at Large, 58). ‘* The act of March 2, 1833 (4 Statutes at Large, 629), which became historical, and was passed to allay the threats of nullifica- tion, provided for scaling down the duties of the then existing laws, year by year, but preserved the relative rates on the various forms of iron, and concluded by providing that in 1842 the duties should be at an ad valorem rate. The effect of this provision was to place a lighter duty = crude manufactures, and a heavier duty upon those more advanced. The act of August 30, 1842, (5 Statutes at Large, 551), fixed a duty of $9 per ton on pig iron ; $17 per ton on bar and bolt iron not manufactured by rolling ; $25 per ton on bar and bolt iron rolled, and on hoop iron 214 cents per pound. By the act of July 30, 1846 (g Statutes at Large, 45, schedule six), a duty of 30 per cent. ad valorem was levied on all forms of iron, which again effectively recognized the doctrine that the duty should increase as the product became more valuable by skill and labor. The same principle was maintained in the act of March 3, 1857 (11 Statutes at Large, 192), in which the iron schedule of the preceding act was reduced to 24 per cent ad valorem. **The act of March 2, 1862 (12 Statutes at Large, 180), levied a duty of $15 per ton on bar iron and $20 per ton on band and hoop iron, and the act of July 14, 1862 (12 Stat- utes at Large, 544), which levied duties in addition to those of the former act, in- creased the duty on bar iron $2 per ton and on hoop iron $5, thus maintaining the prin- ciple of gradation even on the slight increase of rate. The provisions of the next general tariff act—that of June 30, 1864 (13 Statutes at Large, 203) —are still in force, and it is a clause of that act which this bill of the com- mittee seeks to amend. The provisions of the act of 1864 generally, and particularly the clauses under consideration, are in per- fect harmony with the principles which have marked the tariff legislation from the origin of the government under all parties and all administrations. ‘* By the existing law, pig iron paysa duty of $7 per ton (Revised Statutes, p. 464). Bar iron, a more advanced form of manufacture, bears a duty of 1 cent to 1% cents per pound, according to sizes. Iron wrought in slabs, blooms and loops, and other forms less finished than bars and more advanced than pig iron, is rated as bars. But band and hoop iron, being more advanced than bars, and representing more skill and labor, pays a duty of 114 to 13¢ cents per pound, accord- ing to sizes. The anomaly recently forced into the law by the verdict of a jury made it possible for the foreign producer, by the expenditure of 5/ worth of labor upon a ton of hoop iron (that is, by cutting the long strips into shorter pieces and punching a hole in one end of each piece) to import this class of iron into the United States under the name of ‘cut hoops,’ at 35 per cent. ad valorem, which, at present prices, is more than one-third less than the duty on the long, uncut strips. This was a palpable evasion of the law, which the ‘lreasury order of March 12 prevents. It is impossible to contrast the duty imposed by the existing law upon the various articles of iron and steel manufacture, without seeing that it is the manifest intention of these laws to impose a higher duty as the articles approach completion.” To permit the law with the rulings under it to stand will destroy large and growing industries which are now in operation iu the United States, and will discharge many thousands of laboring men employed in this branch of manufacture ; will encourage the foreign rival at the expense of our own people, without any essential benefits to the American consumer. This substitute only maintains the principle upon which all our tariff legislation in the past has been based conforms to the recommendation of the Secretary of the ‘Treasury; remedies a grievous wrong long borne by the home mauufacturer ; and saves an i:uportant pro duction to the United States. ‘he passage of the bill is therefore recommended. en ee en Greece appears to be surely drifting into war, as Turkey will not surrender the strongholds in dispute, and other powers have exhausted their arts of diplomacy Meanwhile the two hostile parties are replen ishing their arsenals from the United States It is stated that a Liverpool firm lately endeavored to get two wore iron ships put on the stocks, and that the reply came from all quarters that the builders were too busy to book further orders. The President of the Western Union Tele graph Company is reported as having said that the company receives in this city alone 65,000 messages daily, We are a busy people. * , a . <2 na ry : s . , . -, “ad.
