The Riehle Furnace Charging Scale. The convenience and safety attending the use of a good scale, capable of weighing, with- out constant changes, the various materials charged into a furnace, are generally appre- ciated by furnacemen, not a few of whom have had occasion to trace apparently unac- countable changes in the working of their stack to ignorance or malice in weighing stock or fuel. Messrs. Riehlé Bros., of Phila- delphia, have attempted, by aspecial design, to meet the requirements of ironmasters and those engaged in similar and allied indus- tries. The outgrowth of these efforts has been the scale showu in the accompanying engraving, in which the arrangement of the beams is illustrated, and that of the frames and levers is indicated by dotted lines. Each one of the beams is entirely independent of the others, and each is used for weighing one of the materials entering into the charge. The top one, for balancing the average weight of the empty barrows, is called the barrow beam, and one of the others, for weighing the coal, coke, ore, limestone, &c., is always used in connection with this barrow beam. The beam box can be locked to prevent tampering with the weights, and a latch is used to support one end of each stock beam. A pointer secured to it protrudes through a hole in the front of the'closed beam box, and its movement is the only way of observing the oscillations of the beam. When the latch is dropped the corresponding beam operates in conjunction with the barrow beam. The poises are keyed, so that a slipping upon the beam and the evils growing out of using wrong weights are effectively avoided. The details of the scale, of which two sizes with a platform 3% feet and 4 feet square are made, are such as to secure durability as well as accuracy. The whole frame is a heavy iron casting made in one piece, and the steel pivots and bearing surfaces are made long. The plat- form and the lower portion of the beam box are made of iron. em A New Torpedo Ram. Perhaps the most extraordinary war steamer yet built was launched at Chatham, England, June 15th. She is named the Polyphemus, and is of 2610 tons, carrying ouly a few light guns for defensive purposes, but is fitted with a ram and three ports for discharging torpedoes under water. The whole tus for steering and for firing tor- pedoes is concentrated in an armored tower. The ship is novel and peculiar alike in form, structure, fittings and arrangement of armor protection, while her weapons of attack are such as will necessitate her being fought differently from any other war ship. She has a strong ram bow, a powerful torpedo battery, great speed and handiness, mode- rate size and a small extent of surface above water exposed to the euemy’s fire, such por- tion of the vessel as is above the water fime being convex in form, so as to deflex any projectile that may strike it. The appear- ance she will present when at sea will be that of a cylinder floating on its side and deeply immersed, which is tapered at the ends to form a bow and stern. The top of the cylinder will be 4 feet 6 inches above the water line, and will be flattened over a Jarge portion of its area to form a deck. The whole of this flattened cylindrical sur- ‘face will be plated over with stee] armor, and will cover in and protect the ship and all her machinery and fighting appliances. The ship proper as she will thus appear will be surmounted by a light structure carrying a hurricane deck of about two-thirds her length, and upon this deck will be seen a signal mast, funnel, pilot tower, boats and other fittings. Under water the form of the Polyphemus is as strange as it will thus ap- pear above. The cylindrical curvature of the sides is carried down several feet below the water line and armor plated to that depth. Below this point the section assumes a V form, and ends in a sharp angle at the keel. It will, therefore, be seen that a com- plete cross section of the vessel is very simi- lar to that of a peg top floating in the water at a depth below where its breadth is great- est and where the section» thus begins to curve toward the center line. The Poly- phemus is. 240 feet long between perpen- diculars, 40 feet in extreme breadth, and will have a load draft of 20 feet. The ves- sel will not be fitted with masts or sails, but will carry a pole for signaling purposes and for making observations from. She will be propelled by twin screws, and will have two pairs of high-pressure compound horizontal engines. Each high-pressure cyl- inder will be 38 inches in diameter and the low-pressure 64 inches. The stroke will be 45 inches. The boilers will be of the loco- motive type, I2 in number, and will be made of steel. They will work up to a pressure of 110 pounds per square inch. It is esti- mated that the engines will indicate a col- lective power of 5500 horses, and that the speed of the ship will be 17 knots. cc Judge Benedict, in the United States Dis- trict Court, Brooklyn, on the 18th inst., rendered a decision in the matter of the petition of Lansing A. Tift to punish the Ironclad Manufacturing Company and H. W. Shepard, president of the company, for contempt, in disobeying an order of injunc- tion of the Court prohibiting the prosecution of a suit in another court.

The case has been in litigation for several months. LL SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL. A German piano manufacturer—Herr C. René, of Stettin—claims that the experience | of a number of years has shown the superi- | ority of a method of SEASONING TIMBER ARTIFICIALLY introduced by him. In his plan he makes use of the property of oxygen, particularly of that ozonized by the electric current, to artificially season the timber. ‘The first im- pulse to experiments being carried out in THE RIEHLE BLAST FURNACE this direction, was given by the well-known | 7000 pounds, while a third, in a ‘%-inch | metallicfinish. In other rooms, the ingenious fact that wood which has been seasoned for | years is much more suitable for the manufac- ture of musical instruments than if used soon | after it is thoroughly dried only. Mr. René | claims that instruments made of wood which | has been treated by his oxygen process possess a remarkably fine tone, which not only does not decrease with age, but, so far as expe- rience teaches, improves with age as does the tone of some famous old violins by Italian masters. We are further told that the sounding boards made of wood prepared in this manner have the quality of retaining the sound longer and more powerfully. A number of pianos manufactured at Mr. René’s works and exported to the tropics several years ago have stood exceedingly well, and seem in no way affected by the | climatic dangers they are exposed to.

In the buildings several acres of flooring are devoted entirely to this business. On enter- ing the main building the visitor will find first, of course, the offices, then the design- ing and drafting and model rooms, in which | the experience of the men at the factory, and of those of best ability and judgment | elsewhere, is focused and the work is marked | out. Passing by a winding way to the rear large drop forges, with the accompanying | used in the forge shop, the various sets be- ing kept in their proper places when not in| use, and many of them are so large and| heavy that they require two men to handle them. It is believed that some of the dies | CHARGING SCALE. | are brought and tested with as much care chinery, under the direction of most skilled jlabor. In forging the ‘‘ open head,” for in- stance, four or five sets of dies are used, and | one of these sets of large steel dies requires Not all in the finish. |}six weeks to cut and done the forging, however, is where the backbones are drawn, and have the proper curvature and proportions given them. In another room, the welding of the rims is performed by a machinery peculiar to this factory; in still another, the front forks are welded to the arms extending | downward from the head of the bicycle, or the hollow tubular forks are brazed, and where the rear forks are welded in like manner. In another is the finishing room, where the busy emery wheels make the fine and wonderful screw machinery cuts the nuts, screws and bolts from the crude rods of commerce, In the lathe room, the cutting, milling and turning of the cylindrical partsaredone. In another room, the ball bearings, also peculiar to this factory, are made. In the milling room the hubs are turned and bored to receive the spokes, and to be fixed on the axles, In still another room, which may be called the tiring room, the rubber tires, now made in molds, are stretched upon the rims, ce- mented and baked. In another room thie wheels are set up and trued. In the assem- bly room, the wheels, forks and ball bear- ings are put together and every part duly marked. Then there is the inspection room, where all the parts of the different bicycles as the finest watch machinery, to discover defects or irregularities and to try their strength and soundness, all imperfect parts There is also the paint shop, where those the small parts which enter into the making of a bicycle. , The Pope Manufacturing Company have not yet turned their attention tothe lightest or observations of repair shops across the coun- | try show that notwithstanding the fact that | their machines are placed in the rinks and riding schools and in the hands of learners (rolled by the Dudgeon tube expander, now | a fine workman, with the best machinery, | to so large an extent, the percentage of | breakages and repairs on their machines is |much less than on any imported make of They have, |durable bicycle yet constructed, and the }one on the whole best suited to American roads. | EEE » |The Deepest Coal Pit in Great Britain. | After six years of patient toil, involving a deeper descent into the bowels of the earth than has yet been reached by any similar effort, the Ashton Moss Colliery Company have achieved the object of their desire—the proving of valuable coal beds upon an unworked part of Ashton Moss. In 1874 the company commenced sinking operations with the view of finding the Four-foot Mine, which was being worked in other parts of the coal-field. At a depth of 450 yards the mine was proved and several headings were driven by way of testing the bed, which, however, was found to be not of sufficient thickness to be werkable. The proprietors did not build their hopes upon this mine, and nothing despairing made preparations for sinking a shaft 250 yards deeper—in all 700 yards. This depth, greater than that of the Astley Deep Pit, having been reached, and not having overtaken any coal of a workable character, the engineers, not with- out some misgivings, directed that borings should be taken. Accordingly boring opera- tions were begun, the results of which were such that orders were given to sink further. The consummation of all this labor, perse- verance and expense were reached when, just six years after the ground was first broken, the works touched the Great Mine, a seam of coal 6 feet thick, and lying ata depth of 895 yards from the surface, or 897 yards including the seam itself. The coal is a house-fire coal, with coking properties, and is most valuable for position (being so near the large centers of population) a vailable quantity and excellence. The field that can be worked by the company is about 2000 acres in extent, extending from Guide Bridge to Droylsden on one side, and on the other from Fairlield to Ashton. A second shaft is now being sunk, being, indeed, but 200 yards short of the first shaft, and when working operations have fairly begun— which is expected to be in six months—the mines are calculated to yield from 1500 to 2000 tons per day, and plant is being put down with that view. In the sinking opera- tions the mines have encountered no fewer than 60 seams or strata of coal, cannel or shale, varying from 3 inches to more than 2 feet in thickness, but none until now of a workable character, The temperature, taken at a depth of 860 yards, was 78° F. me Failure of E. P. Cutler & Co., of Boston.—Advices from Boston announce the failure of E. P. Cutler & Co., iron and metals commission merchants, of that city, which occurred on the 15th inst. The firm were well known in New York, where they made large purchases, and the announce- ment of the failure caused quite a flutter in the iron and metal trade, although in certain quarters it was known for some time past that they had met with heavy losses. Their liabilities are not definitely known, but are estimated by some of their creditors here as high as $500,000, of which over $100,000 is due in New York. A large portion of their indebtedness is due in the Lehigh region of Pennsylvania, and also to furnaces along the Hudson River. They were regarded as smart, active and shrewd young men, and during the boom of 1879 they bought freely when iron began to advance, and for a time did a large and profitable business, mainly in iron rails and pig iron, but lost consider- able when the boom burst. In June, 1880, they claimed a surplus of $100,000, their di- rect liabilities being $75,000, and contingent liabilities $200,000, all claimed to be on good business paper. They own a foundry at Roxbury, Mass., iron property in Virginia, and other property at Katahdin, Me. At the National Broadway Bank it was learned that their paper had been offered there and declined. A creditor stated that he understood that the failure would prob- ably be a disastrous one, as he had heard that a large part of i their iron was hypothecated for advances. Another credi- tor stated that the failure was the result of over-speculation. In the boom of 1879-80 they had loaded up with iron, and when the market turned they continued to purchase at each fall in price, hoping to average and ex- pecting to recover, and continued to make losses, which culminated in their failure. They had also incurred large losses in operations outside of their business, one of which was an attempt to raise a sunken vessel in South America, which they cons tracted to do, but failed. - $$. The financial report of the East River Bridge Corporation shows that the cash receipts since the beginning of the work were $13,009,315.20, and the expenditures, $12,884,437.23, leaving on June 11, 1880,a cash balance of $124,877.97, with liabilities amounting to $85,155.08, . a > te + “e > _ 7 ee ae ee > ee, A oe i ee es a er er ee. ge ee oa wt ae Sat - - va g THE IRON AGE.

(Concluded. } Mr. C. P. Sandberg furnished a lengthy communication on r Ci Wi SPECIFICATIONS FOR STEEL RAILS While he agrees with Dr. Dudley that both copper and sulphur are of more importance to the producer, and that, therefore, the TOD IDLE LL LL LE question, Mr. Sandberg holds that for blooms it will be necessary to determine the sulphur, at least occasionally. The red-shortness which might otherwise cause cracks and wasters in rolling out foreign blooms in this country, would be thus detected. In the basic process the sulphur is of great impor- tance, as the ordinary white pig generally contains a greater amount of this impurity than ordinary Bessemer Pig. In any case, sulphur will always be a source of trouble to the maker rather than to the consumer. The Eggertz color test for carbon is quite reliable within the limits of rail steel, and is preferred because of its simplicity. Prof Eggertz has lately introduced important im provements, with the aid of which greater accuracy is secured, even when the per centage of carbon is very low. Makers have, no doubt, some right to com- plain that the silicon allowed by Dr. Dudley’s formula is so low, viz., 0.04 per cent. Mr Sandberg says that he has sometimes found ten times that amount of silicon combined with excellent physical character. There is no impurity in steel rails which may vary so | much as silicon, not only in different dis- tricts and countries, but even in the same a5 s| mill. It is often four or five times as great at one time as at another, the variations depending chiefly upon the heat of the blow, the composition of the pig being the same. Mr. Sandberg says that silicon passes away simultaneously with the carbon in the cold blow, but remains almost undiminished in quantity in the hot blow. As the makers have as yet no means of determining when the silicon is removed, as they have in the case of carbon, it would be unnecessarily severe to limit this impurity to such a point as to be scarcely attainable in practice. Mr. Sandberg argues that Dr. Dudley’s physical tests are quite as impracticable as his chemical specifications. To apply a bending or a shearing or a torsion test toa material which in daily use must sustain concussion and abrasion, seems a curious course. Besides, these tests are too slow ‘ RR} | | | Market Steel Wire, Crinoline Wire, tempered and covered.

Mr. Sandberg’s just now inspecting blooms made by this process, and from several analyses made, the average composition is as follows: Sil- icon, trace; carbon, 0.33; manganese, 0.35, and phosphorus, 0.08. Such rails tested by the Sandberg standard drop test, showed a deflection of about 5 inches, which indi- cates a greater degree of softness than that of ordinary rail steel made by the Bessemer process. The immunity from breakage secured by soft metal is decidedly an advan tage to the engineer, but not exactly so to the rail maker, since the softer metal neces sarily gives more cracks and wasters than steel of nedium hardness. With a view to testing the question whether steel high in phosphorus would break in acold climate, Mr. Sandberg had made at the Panteg works in South Wales, six years ago, about 100 rails with 0.25 per cent. of phosphorus, but low in silicon and carbon and tested them by his drop test. These rails have been down at Stockholm, Sweden, ona siding ever since. None of them have broken, although the tempera ture sometimes reaches 30° F. below zero. Out of 35,000 rails laid on the Swedish State railways, with an average composition of carbon, 0.20 to 0.30; phosphorus, 0.06 to 0.12, and silicon, 9.1 to 0.3, only four broke during the winter of 1880, These results show how wide a variation can be tolerated in the chemical composition of steel rails, even when they are exposed to a most rigor ous climate. A paper which is interesting, because of its originality, is that of Mr. J. L. Klein- schmidt, of St. Louis.

ON FOREIGN SUBSTANCES IN IRON AND THEIR | COMBINATIONS. If the statements given in works on metal- | lurgy, and even in the latest investigations by Akerman, Bell, Snelus and others, on the effect of the presence of various ele- ments on the quality of iron are considered, many contradictions will be noted. Gener- | ally investigators consider only the effect | upon quality of one element, be it metal or metalloid. Having for more than 20 years | directed my attention to this question, I have come to the conclusion that a full in- | sight into the causes of aeeen of aes y can only be obtained by a study of the rela- Worcester, Mass. tions Shieh the different elements in a sam- WOOD, JENNISON & CO., Manufacturers of SHAFTING, PULLEYS AND HANGERS—A Specialty.

The elements which have any rela- tion to iron can be grouped as follows: Potassium, sodium. Calcium, magnesium, aluminium, | Manganese,. zine, titanium, tungsten, chromium | Iron, carbon, phosphorus, silicon, arsenic, sulphur, antimony, titanium, tungsten, chro- mium Nickel, cobait | Copper. |} In this series we antimony, can distinguish: 1. Posi- j tive on the one, and negative elements on the other side. Those elements which possess lan undecided character chemically (anti- | mony, tungsten, chromium), ap- i pear on both sides, although in reference to iron they are more negative than positive. 2.

Copper ones 0.27 0.35 On the other hand, it is an old trick to spoil the whole charge of a puddling furnace by throwing a penny into it. The reason can only be that the copper retains the sul- phur, and the analogy of the Swansea pro- cesses of copper smelting tends to confirm that opinion. It is known that pure nickel can be mixed in almost every proportion with iron, always yielding alloys of great tenacity and strength, as proven by the dif- ferent specimens shown by Garnier and Christofle at the Paris Exhibition. That arsenic does not injure the quality of iron is proved by the Obuchow steel, but as soon as nickel and arsenic are present together they injuriously affect the quality. This is the reason why the spathic ores of Dobschau, in Hungary, cannot be used as steel ores, although they contain a considerable quan- tity of manganese. They contain minute particles of niccolite, a compound of arsenic and nickel. The spathic ores of the Siegen district and from Styria, which do not con- tain this mineral, are celebrated steel ores. Manganese is considered an element which improves the quality of iron, but, as soon as it is present in a larger quantity in steel which holds 0.5 carbon and o.6 per cent. of phosphorus, the metal becomes very brittle and breaks in hardening. In regard to negative elements, it is well known that some years ago even phosphorus steel was produced, that no injurious effect is attributed to silicon when alone and not oxidized, and that tungsten, titanium and chrome steel are known in commerce, and that sulphur in small quantities is said to have only a hardening effect. The follow- ing general conclusions may be drawn from these considerations : 1. Positive elements, present singly, do not injuriously affect the quality of iron, 2. Negative elements, present singly in small quantities, harden the iron, forming steels ; in excess they cause brittleness. 3. As soon as a negative and a positive, or even two negative elements, come together, they impair the quality of iron. We have seen that bad quality is not due to a charac- teristic property of foreign elements in affecting it, but to the formation of combi- nations, such as sulphide of copper, arsenide of nickel or phosphide of iron. The pres- ence of such compounds interrupts the con- tinuity of the fibers of the iron, prevents their being welded together and is the cause of early rupture. An analogy may be found in the excellent researches of Akerman on ‘* Hardening,” in which he shows that, as soon as the combined carbon is allowed, by the application of a high temperature and subse que nt slow cooling, to separate from the iron in the shape of graphite, both tensile strength and elasticity are diminished. Whatever idea we may form about the mo- lecular arrangement of the particles in steel, there can be no doubt that the formation of graphite involves an interruption of the continuity of the molecules of the steel. Let us now consider the relation of the different elements to iron and to one another in iron kept in a fluid state. The compound of iron and carbon in its purest state is represente d by th spiezeleisen as it was produced in former times from Stahlberg ore, with only traces of manganese, and containing 5.08 per cent. of carbon and 9}.92 per cent. of iron, which leads to the formula Fe'C. If this material is melted in an open-hearth furnace in the presence of silica and oxygen, it is found that iu the same proportion as iron 18 slagged, the carbon is burnt, or, vice versa, that as the carbon is being consumed, iron is oxidized and slagged until at last metallic iron remains behind. If the latter is weighed it is found that it amounts to about 70 per cent., or, of four atoms of iron, one goes off with the carbon, and in order that this one atom of carbon can be removed, one atom of iron must be oxidized and slagged. This explains the great loss of metal, amounting to about 30 per cent., in the old method of manufacturing steel from spiegeleisen From the analyses by List on the puddling process, and those by Snelus, Kessler, Kupelwieser and others on the Bessemer process, it is known thet during the first period the percentage of carbon incr2ases. From this it is evident that while other elemeuts are being eliminated the carbon remains in combination with the iron, so that, always assuming a liquid state of the iron and the presence of silica and oxygen, it may be said that (1 for every positive element which is removed there is eliminated also a negative element, atom for atom, and that also every negative element s arated from the iron, causes the elimination of a corresponding quantity of a positive element ; and (2) that the elimination proceeds in ac- a panne - sept eee ees a ees on ad as eed = ee ~ AO oo nee a = “er OGDEN & WALLACE,|A.
