J ne MD ne oo special object, it will no doubt prove of value in many branches of manufacture, where similar operations must be daily repeated with a large quantity of small articles. Lieut.-Col. Whittemore has re- ported as follows : It consists of the furnace proper, constructed of boiler iron, lined with fire-brickg, and arranged with flue and cold blast for draft and heat ; of an anneal- ing retort, cylindrical in shape, with closed ends of hemispherical form. From these ends project trunnions, which revolve on friction rolls attached to the furnace. The left trunnion, looking toward the furnace, is hollow, and subserves several useful pur- poses. It is a peep hole for observing the degree of heat to which the charge is being raised, an outlet for the smoke into which | the oil on the shells is converted, a means of obtaining samples for test, and of emptying the charge when sufficiently annealed. The annealing accomplished in this tight-jointed receptacle possesses several advantages over the old plan. In the latter the cylindrical vessel used was pierced with holes and re- volved with its charge over a charcoal fire. The surface of the shells became considera- bly oxidized from exposure to the atmos- phere and took up some dirt, as ashes from exterior surroundings, during the process. By the new plan the charge is protected from the direct action of the fire, and the gases and smoke generated and expanded inside the retort flow out through the hollow trunnion. By the old method charcoal was necessary as a fuel, to guard against the sul- phur and other gases which would be generated from burning anthracite coal. Anthracite coal is used with the new retort, and the shells are annealed with less oxida- tion of their surfaces, and consequently reguire less pickling and cause less wear upon machinery and tools in the continued process of drawing. Ten thousand shells or thirty thousand cannon-primer tubes is a full charge for the retort. From 180,000 to 200,000 shells can be annealed in one day of 10 hours, at an expense of about $5.25. An equal number by the old method would take 3 days and 6 hours, at an expense of about $18.75. New process—amount of anthracite coal consumed in annealing 180,000 shells = 600 pounds, at a cost of $1.50. Old pro- cess—15 barrels charcoal at 35 cents = $5.25. A crane takes the retort from the furnace and deposits it upon a cradle, from which it is reallly emptied. The retort, with full charge, weighs about 600 pounds. The fur- nace has a hinged wrought-iron cover, which is lowered over the retort during the operation of annealing, and raised when the retort is removed, and a hinged flue, which fits into an opening in the cover, connecting it with the draft. The accompanying draw- ing shows the general construction and operation of the furnace, which was de- signed by Mr. Jabez H. Giil, master machin- ist at Frankford Arsenal. I SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL. Referring to Prof. Thurston’s recent ex- periments with copper tin alloys, the En- gineer makes some very interesting state- ments concerning an alloy called ‘* NAVAL BRASS.” It appears that in the early part of 1874, in consequence of numerous cases of failure in respect to Muntz metal in ships of the Royal | p Navy, the attention of the Admiralty was drawn to the subject, and they directed in- quiry to be made as to the cause of these failures. Mr. Farquharson, to whom the matter was referred, found that the causes of decay which had been suggested would not account for that which actually took place. In the numerous cases which came under his notice, twe conditions of use were alwaps observable, namely, salt water and contact with an electro-negative metal—a fact which pointed strongly to electro-chemi- cal action as the cause of the change. On the other hand, there was a total absence of surface-pitting. To the eye the surface of affected bolts was as smooth and perfect as when they were first made. It was difficult to understand how an internal change, such as actually took place, could come to pass in the way inferred. Fortunately, a very simple expedient proved beyond doubt that salt water had penetrated an apparently sound and close metal, and the mystery was thus dispelled. Bolts, 3% inches in diam- eter, which had been used for securing pro- peller blades, were shown to have been thus penetrated to the center. In view of these facts, the conclusion that a portion of the zine had been dissolved out was inevitable, and this explanation has been thoroughly verified by comparing analyses of affected and unaffected parts of the same bolts, The circumstance that no such change was to be foundin any of the numerous varieties of gun-metal, rendered it probable that it was peculiar to alloys of copper and zinc, so that if a forgeable metal could be produced with tin in its compos:tion, having the uisite strength and ductility, the plloy thus formed would be free from the completely failed, reported to the Admiralty in 1879 that the new compound had stood the tests satisfactorily. Accordingly it was adopted as the service alloy under the title of ‘‘ naval brass.” The process of manufac- ture is the same as for yellow or Muntz metal. To insure the best results, Australian or English B.S. copper should be used, and the proportions of metal stated above closely adhered to, due allowance being made for the loss of zinc in the process of melting. When finished cold, and left unannealed in rods and sheets of moderate thickness, the metal has atensile strength of from 67,000 peunds to 72,000 pounds per square inch, according to the amount of rolling it has received. Bolts of any size can be made of it, the usual practice. being to take a rod the size of the bolt required, and to form the head by upsetting in a die. This is done, without stress or injury to the metal, in a bolt or rivet-making machine with heads two diameters of the bolt. At a meeting of the British Association of gas managers at Birmingham, Dr. C. W. Siemens again called attention to his pro posal to manufacture HEATING GaS at the same time that illuminating gas is made. His suggestion consists in providing over each bench of retorts two collecting | ipes, the one being set aside for illuminat- ing, and the other for a separate service of heating gas. The gas coming from a retort varies greatly in its character during pro- gressive periods of the charge. During the first quarter of an hour after closing the retort the gas given off consists principally of marsh gas (CH,) and other occluded gases and vapors, which are of little or no use for illuminating purposes ; from the end of the first quarter of an hour, for a period of two hours, rich bydrocarbons, such as acetylene (C,H) and olefiant gas (C,H,) are given off ; whereas the gases passing away after this consist for the most part again of marsh gas, ssing low illuminating power. M. Ellissen, the late chief of the experimental department of the Paris Gas Works, and actual President of the French Society of Gas Engineers, has made a most interesting series of experiments, which he carried out in connection with the late M. Regnault, the eminent physicist, some years ago; the object of the experiments being to discover the proper period of time to be allowed for each charge. Although the average illum- inating power produced by the distillation of the coal did not exceed 13.5 standard candles, the gas given off from the end of the first quarter of an hour, during a period of two hours, possessed an illuminating power of 16.16 standard candles. According to the figures given in the valuable experiments of M. Ellissen, it ap- pears that nearly two-thirds of the total pro- duction of gas takes place in the above period, while the remaining third is distilled during the first quarter of an hour and the last hour and three-quarters. It hence fol- lows that by changing the direction of the flow of gas at the periods indicated, allow- less liable in its combustion to deposit soot | upon heat-absorbing surfaces, and in giving, | weight for weight, a calorific power superior | to olefiant gas. The Gas Engineer reports the beginning of | the manufacture in England of STEEL AND WROUGHT-IRON GAS PIPE. | Messrs. Exton, Berridge & Partners, of Westminster, are now manufacturing steel pipes and wrought-iron pipes made from | rolled sheets. The operation, from the heating of the rolled sheets to the interme- diate stage of bending to the required curve, is exceedingly brief, while the final jointing of the pipes by hydraulic pressure may be said to be even more rapid. By this process pipes may be made of almost any diameter —they are now usually made between 5 and 36 inches diameter—and in thickness vary- ing from one-sixteenth to three-eighths of an inch, according to the purposes for which they are required, and up: to 12 feet in length. The steel pipes made by this pro- cess are tested to stand an internal pressure FURNACE.

It is manufactured by Messrs. Gebriider von Schenk, of Heidelberg, and is remarkable for the rapidity with which it sets, its lightness, strength and polish. It is said to resist the action of water very well. | It is made of impure gypsum, three parts of which are ground together with one part of silicate of lime, nine parts of the mixture being ground together with one part of coke. The material is then heated and stir- red, without the addition of water, at a temperature of 248° F. As soon as the water of crystallization of the gypsum has been expelled the temperature is raised to 500° F., the product being a gray powder. The color of the dry mass is silver gray, and besides setting in a pure state in four to five | minutes, it can be made to harden after five to six hours by the addition of water in| which some glue has been dissolved. By comparative test it was found that after set- | ting, it took plaster of Paris 147 hours longer to dry than tripolith. The latter is also 14 to 16 per cent. lighter, an important advant- | lamp is lighted the hand may be moved to age for surgical operations and for use| the exact time by putting the rack out of in stucco work. After it has been given a coat of oil it holds color very well. As it grows older, set tripolith becomes firmer. Plaster of Paris has a tensile strength of 7 of tripolith, after two months, had a tenacity of 15.2; after four months, 15.91; after six months, 17.5, and after eight months 17.5 tons per square inch. It is reputed to be 30 per cent. cheaper than plaster of Paris.

Sines the construction of these outer hoops is very costly, the idea occurred to one of the members of the firm that it might be possible to localize the melting operation ; and this it has now been found possible to accomplish by treating the body of the piece with a cold-producing preparation of car- bonic acid, which contracts it to such an extent that the hoops, expanded at the same time by the application of heat, can The tempering of steel is a question which is attracting considerable attention at the present time, especially the relation between the metal and the gases which come into contact with it during the process of manu- facture. An interesting communication on the subject was recently made to the Physi- cal Society by Prof. Chandler Roberts, of the Royal School of Mines, and his principal result, though of a negative kind, is valua- ble as narrowing the question at issue. i be easily removed. The English Mechanic describes A NIGHT LIGHT CLOCK, which has at the same time the great ad- vantage of being noiseless. The reservoir or receptacle for containing the oil is formed of any desired material, and can be cylin- drical or any other suitable shape, provided that its internal capacity is the same through- At the upper part of the said reservoir is fixed, in a vertical posi- out its entire depth. tion or nearly so, a dial or clock face, through the center of which passes, in such a manner as to be capable of turning freely, a spindle, to one end of which is fixed a hand for indicating the time, and on the opposite end is mounted a small pinion, top thereof is attached a rod fixed vertically, the upper end having a rack thereon which gears into the before-mentioned pinion. The wick-holder is arranged in any suitable man- ner at the upper end of the reservoir, and when the clock face is transparent, it is placed behind the same, thus effecting the double purpose of illuminating the said clock face and also of modifying the light ; the wick passes through an aperture or space in or at the side of the float or in any other suitable manner to the oil. The action of the ap paratus above described is as follows: It | having been ascertained that a certajy quan tity of oil will be consumed ina certain time, and that consequently the float will descend a certain distance with the alteration in the level of the oil, the rack and pinion are so formed that on the rod descending with the float the pinion will be caused to revolve, land with it the hand, which will indicate on the clock face a period of time correspond- | ing to that occupied in the consumption of | the quantity of oil referred to, When the | gear with the pinion and turning the hand | round, | ~ —————— al driven well patent.

Margueritte showed that, although the conversion of iron into steel could be effected by contact with carbon, even in the diamond form, it is, nevertheless, true that carbonic oxide ordinarily plays a considera- ble part in the process, Graham’s paper ‘*On the Occlusion of Gases,” read in 1867, gave singular point to this conclusion by showing that carbonic oxide can penetrate to the center of a mass of iron. This gas is, in fact, introduced into the iron at a com- paratively low temperature, while a high temperature is necessary to enable the metal to appropriate the carbon in order to be- come steel. The effect of occluded gases in iron and steel is now being carefully studied by metallurgists in general, and a committee of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers recently raised the question in one of their reports, as to whether the hardening and tempering of iron and steel might not be produced by the expulsion of occluded gases during the heating process, and their subse- quent exclusion by the sudden cooling and contraction. Prof. Roberts has undertaken to answer this question, and by heating rods and spiral wires of steel in vacuo by means of the electric current and suddenly quench- ing them in cool mercury, he demonstrates that steel will harden when there are no gases toabsorb. The metal was, of course, robbed of its occluded gases by means of an air pump connected to the vacuum cham- ber, and the parts which were quenched in the mercury were found to be glass-hard, while those which did not reach the cold fluid were found to be quite soft. Prof. Roberts, therefore, concluded that gases do not play any partin the process of hardening and tempering. Historically interesting are the facts mentioned by Prof. Roberts, that as early as 1781 Bergman clearly stated that fixed air could give up its carbon to iron, and that Reaumur in 1722 actually employed the Toricellian vacuum in experiments on the tempering of steel, the metal being placed red hot in a highly-rarefied atmos- phere, thereby anticipating the methods of to-day by more than 150 years. An inter- esting discussion followed the reading of the paper. Prof. Hughes, who has made numer- ous experiments on the subject, expressed his opinion that the temper of steel was due to the chemical union of the iron with the carbon. At low temperatures this union takes place only in a slight degree, and hence in soft steel we have the carbon keep- ing aloof from the iron ; but as the tempera- ture is raised the combination is furthered, until in the case of gray or glass hard steel we have really akind of diamond alloyed with iron. Sudden cooling is necessary to fix the combination, for in slow cooling the carbon separates out again from the iron. This theory is a very promising one, and is supported by a variety of facts ; Mr. Stroh, for example, having observed that when an electric spark passes between two iron con- tact pieces and fuses them, the fused part becomes diamond-hard and will scratch a tile. Recent researches by Mr. T, W. Hogg have also led him to a similar conclusion, namely, that temper of steel is due to the presence of an unstable compound of iron and carbon. The theory might very well be tested by chemical analysis in order to see whether the proportion of carbon appro- priated by the metal increased with the temperature, or if any change took place in the refractive index of the steel. It was generally agreed by all the speakers at the meeting that the color of the surface of tempered! steel depends on the temperature, and is due to the thickness of the film or skin of oxide; the blue film signifying a higher temperature than the yellow, as well as a thicker coating. In this connection Prof. Hughes has demonstrated that the electric resistance of the film increases with the temperature. A novel illustration of metallic skins was furnished by Prof. Guthrie, who exhibited a steel chain to which he had given a beautiful bluish-black protective coating by simply dipping it in melted nitrate of potash or common niter. The process was discovered accidentally, and as the bloom improves the appearance of the metal, it will probably be applied to utensils of iron and fancy articles, —s oS pe ee —— lll ia Alta Q THE IRON AGE. ‘' July 14, 1881, BRASS & COPPER CO., No, 19 Off Str ect, Phelps Building, NEW YORK.

The handle and interior crank are secured in a very simple but effectual man- ner in the head, which rests and rotates upon the air chamber, thus enabling the handle to be used with the pump in any desired position. The sirchamber is so constructed as to be reliable at all times, and all parts of the pump are so adjusted that the water enters at the base of the pump, and passes up in a straight line and out of the upper nozzle on its way to the tank, thus avoiding unnecessary turns and consequent friction. A side spout is screwed into the air chamber es use at the kitchen sink, or forthe attach- ment of hose for use at fires or irrigation The external fittings, and a somewhat novel arrangement for disconnecting any portion of the pumps, their great length of stroke and unusual power, together with the finish given them and the durability of the parts, PENN. | MOULDING SAND.

Saidhe: ‘Two years from now we shall have the route through and in operation from ocean to ocean, Lesseps’, it is said, will be finished in fo to 20 years, and Eads’ canal will be nearly or quite as long in building. Each of those works will cost not less than $500,000,000, the annual interest of which would pay a dividend of to 400 per cent. on the investment in the Tehuantepec railway, viz., Hence,” said Mr. McAlpine, ‘* competition between these works is out of the question.” He added that if the traflic contemplated by the projectors of Eads’ scheme is realized as to volume, two tracks on the Tehuantepec road would do the whole of it, and such two-track railroad would cost less than $10,008,000, against the $500,000,c00 required for either of the other projects. For those who are not familiar with that 300 $6,000,000, Fig. 4.—The ** Lotus” Common Form with Outlets for Pipe or Hos part of Mexico bordering on the Gulf, it may be observed that the Tehuantepec road (for which Mr. Edward Larned, of Pittsfield, Mass., obtained a full concession) will run very nearly north and south, the northern terminus being at the mouth of the Coatzo coaleos River, which is almost due south from New Orleans. Its length will be 160 miles, and the saving in distance between New York and San Francisco, compared with the Panama route, will be 1152 miles each way, or compared with the vag around Cape Horn, 21,524 miles on the round trip. According to Mr. McAlpine, who has carefully surveyed the entire line, there are no unusual difficulties in building the road, as the grade nowhere exceeds 60 feet to the mile, and more than one-half of it is of the cheapest construction, nearly following the surfa of the earth. The most expensive portion of it, and that ex- tending a short distance only, will not exceed $60,000 per mile, making an average for the whole of not more than $2: 330 O per mile So quietly has the work proceeded that no less than carg of material have been shipped to the Coatzocoalcos River up to the present date, most of them from New York, 33 roes | though the rails go from England and aboht rae THE IRON AGE. ‘July 14, 1881, | «Reon. nan Xron. | ¥vow.
