J., a new press, of which we here present an engraving, is worthy of no- tice, being especially adapted for punching washers and small nuts, for cutting out clock and gas fixtures, spoons, forks, &c., and for embossing fancy work of various kinds, for- merly done in drop presses. The machine in uestion is offered in four sizes, No. 31 being the smallest and No. 34 the largest, the latter being capable of punching a tI-inch hole through a %-inch bar of iron (cold). The press illustrated (No. 33) represents the fea- tures which are common to them all. They are built very heavy and substantial in all their parts, with steel shafts and an auto- matic clutch, which is both simple and dura- ble. The slide bearings are of considerable size, and the lower end of the slide-bar has a V-clamp for holding the shank of the punch. The pitman has an improved clamp- ing device at the upper end, and a ball and socket joint at the lower end. By this ar- ing wrenches and bolts are provided, and the press is complete and ready to run as soon : as it is set up and the belt is put on. The taxes place in an inert substance like coal ; 2] ress was made from if, however, the castings are in contact with " cut of the No. 33 a photograph at a scale of 1-12th of real size. e dimensions of the machine are as fol- lows: Hight from floor to top of fly-wheel, 84 inches; width between columns, in the clear, 10 inches; hight from bed to slide- bar, when up, 10 inches.

A circular issued by the Institute, sets forth the objects of the organization as being an exchange of scientific ideas, the pro- fessional improvement of its members, the furthering of mining industry, the fostering and encouragement of scientific research in the many fields which this country affords, the establishment of a library and reading room, the collection of a mineral cabinet, and the creation of a central point of rest and reunion forits members. Regular meet- ings of the Iustitute are to be held on the last Wednesday evening of each month. Mr. Thomas Jaycox is president, and Mr. Frank L. Sizer secretary. —EE -— Ventilating Machinery. In his official report to the Secretary of the Navy on the methods devised for cooling and NO. 33 POWER EMBOSSING PRESS, —$—— = ; tons per day, would have to be melted by a }current of warm air. Allowing for waste. it | might be estimated that 3 or 4 tons of ice pe r | day must be melted by the air itself. The next problem was to determine the , amount of ice surface which must be exposed | im order to cool the air. This was done by taking a block of ice weighing some 200 | pounds and allowing it to stand over a large | | . ~ $ ae y ; r * | tin basin thirty minutes. The amount of water w hich melted from it was then weighed and found to be 6 pounds. Such a block would, therefore, melt off 288 pounds per | day. To melt 3 tons of ice it was necessary that at least 3 tons should be kept in contact with the cooling air. These conclusions were reached about 1 o’clock on Sunday, July ro. In reaching them and putting them into a practicable shape I co-operated with Prof. J. W. Powell, Director of the Geologica Survey. Heand I conjointly devised a large ice-b x, holding soma 6 tons in all, through which the air might pass in one direction different part of the basement on plans of his own.

Malleable Castings. Researches made in connection with the production of malleable castings have led to the conclusion that the s ftening of the cast iron does not necessarily result from an oxi- dation of its carbon, but that this oxidation, when it takes plaee, plays quite a subordinate part. By the action alone of a temperature suffix iently hig kt. but inferi r to the point of fusion, the white pig, which is formed by absorption of heat, is destroyed—carbonized, if the expression be permitted. Amorphous | graphite, belonging to a special varioty, is | abundantly deposited throughout the whole mass, sometimes in the form of small visi- The operation ends here, if the annealing a substance capable of burning or absorbing the carbon, a secondary reaction takes place. | The free carbon being eliminated froin the | uppermost layer, the equilibrium determined by the calorific influence is gradually modified ; a portion of graphite from the lower layer enters into combination, passes toward the as soon as the quantity of this metal reaches 2 per cent. As the heat due to the formation of silicate of manganese is very great, it follows that the silicon may, to a certain extent, saturate the manganese and set free the graphite. Malleable cast iron occupies an intermediate place between steel and gray pig. It differs from the latter by the special nature of its amorphous graphite, as well as by its greater tenacity ; and from the former by its slight elongation and its high percentage of graphite. a a - Taxing Corporations in New York.— The following bill is now under considera- tion in the New York Legislature: The amounts of the respective assessments of the capital stock of the several corporations joint-stock companies and associations, made and entered in the annual record of the as- sessed valuation of real and personal estate in the City and County of New York for the years 1880 and 1881, shall be assessed against such corporations, and the personal tax im- posed upon each of the corporations, the names of which appear on the several as- sessment rolls of said city or county for the years above specified, shall be levied upon ortise. 1.

That the said defendant has infringed the following claims of each of said Letters Patent, together with the exclusive rights of said complainant, secured to him thereby, without his (complainant’s) license or consent, pro haec vice, to take and report to this court an account of the profits which the defendant has received, or which have arisen, | or have accrued to him from the manufacture, use, or sale of said improvements, or from said infringement, and to report the dam- ages which the complainant has sustained thereby—since the said several dates on which said several patents issued—from the papers, proofs and evidence in this cause, and from any further evidence which either of the parties hereto may produce before him touching the same. And it is further ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the complainant on such ac- Says : All the proposed plans being either ineffect- ive or impracticable for the time being, it | became necessary to devise a new system. |The first step necessary was to ascertain roughly how many units of heat per day were to be abstracted from the warm air, and how much ice would have to be exposed and melted in order to abstract this amount of heat. One necessary datum in the calcu- lation was the quantity of cool air required. This datum was supplied by Dr. Woodward, who stated that 12,000 cubic feet of cool air per hour was desirable. I then made a rough computation of the amount of ice it was necessary that air at the temperature of | |ting pipes for the air being necessary, Mr. Jennings kindly allowed his apparatus to be connected with the new box, so that the lat- ter was put into effective operation without ithe necessity of additional machinery. The connection was so made that the air passed first through his box and thence into the lice-box. The objection that the air was slightly moistened, and therefore injured in {passing through his box, was obviated by the fact that the latter would also act as an auxiliary in cooling the air, while any excess of moisture would be absorbed by the ice in the large box. On Monday, July 11, the air from the apparatus was for the first tim« tions the taxes levied upon them res) ectively by the above secti ; Kiret— the taxes for the year 1880, with interest at he rate of 6 per cen yn, as follows pe from Ist January, 1881.

Every one who takes pleasure in nest and & C0., . }compact construction, will be interested in the Prescott Hangers, one form of which Manufacturers of all kinds of A TOD OU LELLLOLELERERLLELOR is shown in the engravings. The parts are so clearly shown in the illustration that a brief description will make the device intelligible. The levers are fixed at the bottdm (L and K), and are connected with each other by the center rivet I. Onearm, K, is attached to the back edge of the door stile and serves to carry its weight, while the other, L, is attached to the stud immediately back of the casing and forms afulcrum. The upper end of one arm, A, is connected with the lever which carries the balancing weight H, and moves freely, while the other, by means of the friction wheel G, shown |in position, moves up and down as the door is moved backward and forward, and conveys motion to the system of levers while maintaining the balance of the door. It is obvious by the construction shown that the door is counterpoised in all positions. This is so fully accomplished that it is a sur- prise to put the hand upon a heavy door and find that it moves so easily as it does. The mechanism is entirely out of sight.

The means of ap- plying the device to a door are not at all difficult, the main requirements being stabil- ity of the parts to which the levers are at- tached, and correctness of lines and angles. The hangers are made both right and left- handed, and may be applied to old buildings in cases where the pockets are wide enough to afford space required by the levers. The hanger shown in the illustration is designed for use only on doors that move between the walls of a double partition. Besides this | form, hangers are made upon the same gen- | eral principle suitable for barn doors, doors | to freight cars, and for various other pur- poses. Very complete directions are fur- nished for putting the hangers in place, so | that carpenters who have never seen the ar- ticle in use are at no disadvantage in apply- ing it.

I say the difficulty, because it is a matter that will take some practice, and now I will en- deavor to show the best means of setting about such a job. Take a piece of wrought iron about 2 inches | square, and with a 10-inch file, bastard cut, make acommencement. The vise should be so fixed that it is a convenient hight, and that ought to be about the level of the right elbow, or a little below, if anything. The | point of the file should be held in the left hand and the handle grasped with the right, so that the thumb is uppermost. Toone who J. A. EMERICK, HOWARD EVANS.

However, as I say, it must rest in a great measure with the person about to learn. Having, then, obtained to a certain extent an insight as to how the file should be held, and the best position to stand in, fix the piece of iron as level as possible in the vise and shoot the file forvws urd, bearing uj it at the same time. When the wh ile ot the cutting part has gone over the surface bring the file back, but without the slightest pres sure upon it; otherwise all the teeth will soon be taken off and the file become useless There is not the least doubt that much dis satisfaction will be felt at the first few at tempts, but that must not be allowed to in terfere with the determination to succeed There is no necessity to grasp the file in the right hand as if it were going to run away, but just sufficiently tight to prevent its mov ing where it is n wanted. Having filed |away at theiron for some time, upon exam ination it will be found to be anything but a flat surface ; but this cannot be helped Af ter a little practice it will be a good reward to find that great improvement is visible ; and when this is the case, fresh interest will | be instilled into the | one who is learning, and Prescott’s Improved Door Hangers. | such anxiety to accomplish what he has set about that with a little more practice the difti- culty will be overcome. As we proceed, the file may be used from left to right, or vice versa. I dare say, in the course of using a bastard file on a piece of wrought iron, it will be found to, what we term, pin—that is, small pieces of the material will become wedged m the teeth, and the effect of this will be to tear the work. By rubbing a little chalk on the file a deal of this may be prevented ; but the pins, when once in, must be removed, and a piece of brass, pointed, will be the best to do this with. The files must always le kept clean by what we term a file-card. This is simply a piece of old carding-wire, nailed to a piece of wood about 2 inches by 4 inches. And now, by the time half the sub | stance of the metal being werked is disposed of, some advance ought to have been made; | and assuming that it is so, a second-cut file may take the place of the bastard. This is much finer in the cut, and, before being used, should have some chalk also, or a little oil, rubbed in the teeth, as this is the more likely The same po- | sition, the same action—in fact, the same | process entirely—has to be gone through with this as with the other, and oneof the princi- pal things to attend to is to let the movememt of the elbow be simultaneous with that of the left knee. Having, then, had a certain amount of practice on a piece of iron, as described, and become somewhat efficient, it will be time tf alter the style of work, in which there will! be a deal of sameness; and I should advise the tyro to try and file all the edges square to the face. To begin this, it must, of course, be reversed in the vise, with the edge to be filed fixed at the most convenient hight. Now the same process will again be neces sary and extra care exercised, in order not to break all the teeth out of the file. A first- class viseman ought to be able to file up any thing of this kind without much reference to the square ; but this Jatter tool is an absolute necessity to the vise, and should be what we call aback square, which means that the part usually placed on work is broader than the blade By applying this to the work, it will show where it is out of square, and to get it ' true it must be filed on the highest part ouly and here I may say plainly that nothing but practice will perfect any one in this particu- lar art. tion is that is required, how to hold the file and to test what is being operated upon I will leave this part and proeeed to explain a few of the uses of differert cut and shape has not filed before it will feel very awkward | ¢jJos for So far, then, we see what the posi shaping up work of various farms [ dare say, in these enlightened days, bent, and the body must move in conjune- | when so much work is done by machinery of lifferent kinds, that many may ’ po 1k upon weight of the former is thrown on to the tf le | these few remarks as worth very fittle: but to whatever extent machinery is eventually yrought into use, we shall not be able to dis to be about 2 feet 6 inches from the left ; but pense with the file. Itis a well-known fact that first-class visemen are at a premmm, and it will be found that the most con-/and the only reason I can assign for it is venient pose is always the best ; the elbow | that so many youths are now brought up te should be kept well inte the sides, as noth-' simply watch machinery at work and grind LH E LRON AGH .
