The growing demand for motors of small | power has called out a variety of small engines, among which those driven by water »ower have become quite popular. It may * of interest to Americans to follow pro- gress in this field in England, and we show in the accompanying illustrations, for which we are indebted to Jron, the Rogers Water Motor, which has some features of value. It is designed principally for running the dynamo machines for electric lights, and, in order to make it useful for that purpose, special attention has been directed to reach- ing steadiness of motion. The principal feature of the Rogers Water Motor is, there- fore, its governor, which acts on the princi- ple of the syphon. The flow of the ordinary syphon depends upon the difference of level between the surface of the liquid in the upper vessel and the mouth of the long leg of the instrument. The varying level, therefore, of the liquid will affect more or less the quantity discharged in a given time. Mr. Rogers’ arrangement maintains, how- ever, a constant head of water over the top of the syphon, or the long leg, as it in fact is ; and as this leg is the channel or conductor through which the motor is supplied with water, the quantity which passes through it is practically the same, whether the tank has 5 feet or only 1 foot of water in it. Mr. Rogers’ invention is illustrated in the aunexed engravings, in which Fig. 1 repre- sents the general arrangement, Fig. 2 being a side elevation. Fig. 3 represents a plan of the machine; Fig. 4 is an end view, showing the gearing, and Fig. 5 a plan with the gearing removed. Fig. 6 is an enlarged plan of an arm, Fig. 7 being an enlarged section of an arm and the base of the motor, with the socket for the pin or spindle on which it revolves working in a cup on the bed-plate. The construction of Mr. Rogers’ syphon is very simple. It consists in the inclosing of the upper extremity of the pipe C with a hood D, Fig. 2; the pipe C, passing through the bottom of the cistern A, Fig. 1, permits this arrangement. The air inclosed by the hood being exhausted through the ipe Q, the space it occupied is at once filled S the water in the cistern, which rises to the top of the hood, where it will remain, although the syphon be in full operation. If the syphon is once adjusted in a cistern, the column in the pipe C will always remain of the same hight, whatever the level may be in the cistern. Hence, with a uniform head of water, a uniform motion of the machine is the result. The principle of the construction of the motor itself will be understood from the fol- lowing considerations : If a cone, A (Fig. 8, page 3), is revolved on its axis, and a pencil, b, is caused to descend vertically from ¢ to d during one revolution, the pencil will trace a curved line on the cone, the resultant of the two motions. This is the line the water must take to secure the best effect, for if, on the one hand, there be any inequality in the descent of the pencil from o to e, eto f, f to g, or g to h, it would cease to be a true curve ; or if, on the other hand, irregularity takes place in the revolution of the cone, the curve will be broken. Ina few words, the revolution of the cone and the descent of the pencil must be synchronous. This curve has been adopted and employed by Mr. Rogers for bringing the vertical motion of the water in the pipe to the horizontal discharge by the jets at the extremities of the arms of the machine. The perfection of this action is established by the fact that whereas a body falls 16 feet through space in one second, the water through this machine falls 13.08 feet in a similar period, showing a difference of 2.92 feet only, or a reduction of velocity of Ig per cent., the machine making goo revolu- tions of the second motion. On reference to Figs. 6 and 7, it will be seen that the arms are tapered from the body of the machine to the jets. Referring to Fig. 1, representing the general arrangement, A is the cistern or tank; B, the hood; C, the main pipe from the cistern to the motor D’ ; E, the continua- tion of the arms; F, starting valve. The upper part of the motor revolves round the vipe C, which is connected with it by means of a water-tight collar with proper packing. In Fig. 2 is an elevation or side view. The upper part of the hood B, in section, shows the position of the top of the main pipe C’, having a space above it filled with water, held there by atmospheric pressure, and forming the actual head of water for driving the motor D. By opening or shutting the valve F, the flow of water is let on or cut off, and the machine started or stopped at will. G, the frame ; H, bearing on the cross frame in which the motor revolves ; I, a spur wheel on the motor, which gives motion to a pin- ion, K, on whose spindle is a beveled wheel M, into which works a pinion N’, which takes its motion from M, and having a rig- ger, N, on its shaft, transmits by a strap its motion to the pulley O, which has rigger, P, fixed on its other extremity, by which motion, by means of a strap or belt, is trans- mitted to the magneto-machine, Q is the &ir-tube for the hood D, and establishing the syphon action. R, projections on the inner edge of the race in which the motor revolves, aud which form part of the bed-plate, S, on Which the machine is constructed. T, a thin circular ring or plate, between which and the bed-plate the arms travel, and which confines the action of the jets between itself bud the bed-plate, Coke Contracts.—An Important Decision. The suit of the Missouri Furnace Com pany against the administratrix of John M. Cochran, for damages for a breach of con- tract in furnishing coke, was tried in the United States Circuit Court at Pittsburgh recently, Judge Acheson on thebench. We make a synopsis of the judge’s charge below : This is an action commenced on the 20th day of February, 1880, by the Missouri Fur- nace Company against John M, Cochran, who died after suit was brought. His per- sonal representative—the administratrix ef his estate—has been substituted as defend- ant, and now defends against the plaintiff’s claim. The suit is to recover damages for the alleged breach by John M. Cochran of a contract entered into Sept. 20, 1879, between him and the plaintiff, whereby he (Cochran) agreed to sell to the plaintiff 36,621 tons of standard Connellsville coke, to be delivered the plaintiff company would go into the market and purchase coke to take the place of that which Cochran had contracted to deliver. There is evidence that at that time coke had risen in the market to $4 per ton or more. | not furnished for the shipment of the plain- | tiff company’s coke nine empty cars per day, and the defendant claims that Cochran had a right to rescind the contract for this reason. Whether Cochran had a right to rescind the contract is the first question in the case. It will be perceived that by the written | agreement of the parties, ‘‘the Missouri | Furnace Company agree to order from the | Fiad, 2. 9) Wy Ee THE ROGERS WATER MOTOR. on cars at the works of Cochran at the rate | railway company nine empty cars per day, of nine cars, of 13 tons each, per day for|so that coke can be shipped regularly each every working day, commencing Jan. 1 and | day.” Now, it appears from the uocontra- ending Dec. 31, 1880, for which the plaintiff | dicted evidence that the plaintiff did order agreed to pay $1.20 per ton of 2000 pounds. | these cars conformably to this stipulation, Cochran Ealsiooeal chinaiane coke to the | and made all proper efforts from day to day plaintiff company under the contract early |to secure the cars.

The plaintiff, however, is entitled to recover upon the coke which John M. Coch ran contracted to deliver and refused to de liver to the plaintiff the sum of the differ ences between the contract price—that is, the price Cochran was to receive—and the market price of standard Connellsville coke at the place of delivery at the several dates when the several deliveries should have been made under the contract. The jury will take the amount of coke undelivered by Cochran, which was 32,855 tons, and, commencing with February 13, apportion the same throughout the rest of the year 1880. The jury will then ascertain from the evidence the market price of coke throughout the balance of the year 1850— from February 13th on. The evidence as I recall it, but it is for the jury to determine, indicates that the market price of standard | Connellsville coke did not vary from day to day, but rather from month to month, and the same rates prevailed at certain times for longer periods than a month. The evidence, | however, on this subject is for the jury. You will ascertain. the market rates, by which you are to understand the prevailing current rates in the market—the fair market rates at the various times at which Cochran should have delivered the coke, and by this standard you should assess the damages, computing the difference between the contract price and the market prices. The sum of these differences should be allowed by the jury. If you find, gentlemen, that during any | part of the year 1880 the market price for coke was below the contract price, and there is evidence tending to show that a part of the year it really did get down to the con- tract price, you will exclude the coke de- liverable during such state of the market from your computations. The plaintiff is entitled to receive, gentle- men, and you should see that the plaintiff does receive, full compensation for its loss by reason of Cochran’s breach of contract according to the measure of damages and the principle for the assessment of damages covering the case as explained to you by the court. Being disappointed in receiving the coke which Cochran was bound to deliver the plaintiff had a right to go into the market from time to time and in lieu of the Cuchran coke buy coke to supply its place at the cur- rent rates for coke sold at present delivery. We have already instructed you that they had no right to make a forward contract for the whole time covered by the Cochran con- tract, but they had a right to go into the market and supply themselves, paying the market rates for coke at present delivery. And if the market prices for present delivery at the time of the several breaches were higher than the market prices, or forward contracts, there is some evidence tending to show that you should allow these higher market rates. In other words, you are to take the prevail- ing current market rates at the time of these several breaches of the contract for coke for present delivery. In assessing the dam- ages the jury may add interest, as part of the damages, upon the assessment at the several dates when the damages accrued. We instruct you peremptorily that Mr. Cochran had no right to rescind the con- tract, and we have given you the rule by which you are to be guided in assessing the damages. You apportion the undelivered coke during the balance of the year and then ascertain the market price for coke for present delivery, taking all that is not deliy- ered on the 13th of February and distribute it through the balance of the year. Gen- tlemen, I leave the case with you. TT » Jamaica Reviving.—Since the edict of slavery emancipation in Jamaica that fer- tile and once enormously productive island has fast gone to ruin. The great coffee estates in many instances have lapsed into the primitive jungle. But Sir Anthony Musgrave, who is visiting New York City, represents that the island affords a splendid field for American enterprise. He says they ‘‘want strong American ideas and Ameri- can go.” Major Simpson Carson, one of the largest landowners in the island is also in New York, inspecting machinery and agri- cultural implements, and speaks of the great opportunities which Jamaica would offer to American settlers. He is reported as say- ing: ** Until recently all the machinery and implements used on the plantations were purchased in England. Within the past few months, however, the owners of planta- tions have made inquiries in America and find that they can get everything much cheaper here and of better quality. One gentleman, a friend of mine, who is about to refit his place, has written to the people in Seotland who supplied him on former occa- sions, saying that if they would do the work as cheaply and as well as it can be done in New York he will not leave them, but if they cannot fulfill all the conditions he will purchase in New York.” There is no reason, while the friendly disposition of the local authorities remain as at present, why our trade with Jamaica should not increase many fold. Manufactures shipped from the United States are admitted the same as from England. We trust that Gov. Musgrave will meet with every encouragement in this direction. a - Steel Rails on the Cincinnati South- ern Road.—The report of the engineer of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad regarding the life of rails on that line has several points of interest in relation to the compar- ative life of iron and steel rails. The report states: It has been thought best to remove iron rails from some portions of the Middle and Southern divisions, replacing them with steel, which accounts for the greater expense on the south end in this particular than on the north; 11,9607% yards so substituted were Edgar Thomson steel, weighing 60 pounds per vard, our present standard weight. ‘The iron rails removed to be used for new sidings, extensions and the Tennes- see River connection at Chattanooga. Dur- ing the year 1879 Cleveland steel rails have broken in the track north of Kentucky River, the result, apparently, of a defective quality ol On the Middle Divisi n three rails of the same brand of steel have broken without sufficient cause. So far, nct one of the Edgar Thomson steel rails has broken in the track ex¢ ept for good cause. There is in the main track of the light pat tern of Cleveland and Edgar Thomson steel as follows: Northern Division, too miles, Cleveland; Middle and Southern divisions, 19 34 miles, ¢ ‘leveland ; Middle and Southern divisions, 97 miles, Edgar Thomson. The iron rails in the main track on the Northern Division are showing considerable wear under the traffic of the past year, and quite extensive renewals will be necessary beforg many months, steel ae IRON AGE. wo - fActals.

Another sample gave 7.27 volumes gas, containing about 15 per cent. carbonic acid, the remainder being principally carbonic oxide with hydrogen and a trace of hydrocarbon, 3. The. ** hausted iron Whe was exposed ata ved heat to the action of carbonic oxide, and was found to have absorbed 1.15 times its own volume of the gas. Graham states that wrought iron is a metal not unlikely to con- tain small quantities of carbon and oxygen in chemical union with iron, and the gas extracted may be partly due to a reaction of these elements upon each other at a red heat. In another experiment, 32 grams of iron wire, measuring 4.1 c. ¢., heated in an exhausted glass tube to exclude the idea of the conceivable permeability of the porce- lain tube previously used, gave in one hour 29.8 c. c., of which 4.44 per cent. was car- bonic acid, the remainder being principally carbonic oxide and hydrogen with a trace of hydrocarbon. The metal did not yet appear to be quite exhausted, and in another experi- ment the extraction of the natural gas was pushed to a greater degree of exhaustion. Thirty-nine grams thus treated gave in two hours 45 c. c.; in the third hour, 10.85 ; in the fourth and fifth, 5.65 ; in the sixth, 0.g ;-and in the seventh, 0.7 c. c. gas. The iron now appeared nearly exhausted, after the extraction of 63.1 c. c., or 12.55 times the volume of iron used. The mass of exhausted iron wire remaining after the last experiment was heated to redness in hydrogen and cooled gradually in the same gas, and the metal was then freely exposed to air to get STANDARD PADLOCKS.

N 10.3. Steel ingots were subsequently drilled in a bath of mercury; the gas obtained was very minute in quantity and proved to be hydro- gen. Previous to the publication of the ex- periments of Messrs. Miiller and Richards, the author was under the impression that the presence of hydrogen in steel was rather advantageous than otherwise, the hydrogen serving to neutralize the oxidation which is apt to occur on heating steel in common reverberatory furnaces, and that the bubbles, &ec., in steel were due solely to carbonic oxide (cousidering the latter as being in- soluble in steel); while, on the contrary, >] Manufacturers of BRASS, COPPER AND) Mim een onaows, Pa GERMAN SILVER, — STEEL of att kinas.

Rend., 482-485, 562-566, 1873), speaking of the gases existing in metals, state that molten iron and steel possess the property of dissolving gases which they series of experiments on the various kinds of crude iron, steel, &c., might lead to use- ful results; that it was desirable to accur- ately determine the quantity and composi- tion of the gases likely to be present, such information being rendered more valuable from the fact that the history of the manu facture of the sample tested could be readily obtained, It was, however, found that the experiments entailed great difficulties ; much time was lost ere reliable results could be obtained ; and even now, after nearly six years’ work, the autbor is of opinion that this important subject is yet far from being exhausted. Quite recently the matter has again attracted attention, and _ several workers have contributed valuable informa- tion on the points investigated by Graham The author proposes giving as briefly as possible the results obtained by other work ers, concluding with a summary of his own researches..
