Then a In the valve O, communicating with a cold air supply pipe, O', is opened, and tho entering air passes through the heated brickwork, and issues in a heated state, through the valve O* (Fig. 2), into the main 0%. The heated air is led from the main O to the hearth C of the furnace A through the tuyere D, The supply can be throttled at the tuyere ‘ by a valve, as shown, By preference, four Fig. 2.—Hnd Elevation of Valves, Conduits and Heating Stoves. hot-air stoves are used, three of which are constantly under the process of heating, while one is giving up the stored heat to the air passing up through it. Each gas producer, of which there may be a group of eight, consists of two chambers, P, P', suitably lined with brickwork or uivalent substance. The chamber P is ed with coal, coke or other carbonaceous material, which is ignited and brought to an intense heat by a blast of hot air from the hot-air main O*, and delivered by branches through the valves O* into the hot-air con- duit O*, and thence through the valves O* into the chambers P. Each chamber, P, is rovided with a cup and bell. Q, for renew- ing the charge of carbonaceous material, and with a metal box R, at the bottom, provided with a tumbling door for withdrawing tho cinder which collects in the said box, the hot air bringing it down in a liquid state. The second chamber, P’, of the gas producer, is filled with fire-brick of equivalent substance, and is provided at its top with a combustion chamber P’, the same as in the air-heating stoves. The two chambers, P, P'’, communi- cate together at the top through the pipe P*, The chamber P communicates at the bot- tom by means of the valve P*, with the main P', and the tuyere E. The chamber P', how- ever, is in communication with the the main P*, leading to a chimney or other outlet. S$ is a steam main which supplies steam from a steam generator, through the valves S', to the bottom of the chambers P’. T is a safety- valve through which air is admitted into the combustion chamber P* of the chamber P’, to assist combustion therein. The operation of the gas producer is as fol- lows: The carbonaceous material in the chamber P being ignited, the hot air passes up through such carbonaceous material, im- parts to it a white heat, and the gases given off are led through the pipe P* into the com- bustion chamber P* of the chamber P', and air is admitted through the safety-valve into the chamber P’, where combustion takes place, the resulting heat passing down through the brickwork filling of the chamber P', and raising it to a hightemperature. The gases eventually pass off through the valve k* and the main P*. When the brickwork in the chamber P' has become sufficiently heated, the hot-air supply to the chamber P is shut off by closing the valve O°, and the escape from the chamber P’ is also shut off by closing the valve P®. The safety-valve T is also closed, and steam under pressure is then admitted through the valve 5' into the bottom of the chamber P’, and, passing up through the intensely-heated brickwork, be- comes highly superheated, in which condition it enters the chamber P, and passes down through the incandescent carbonaceous mate- rial. A gas, consisting chi >fly of hydrogen and carbonic acid, is thus generated, and in passing through the incandescent carbon, the carbonic acid takes up another equivalent of carbon and becomes carbonic oxide. This gas is driven by the steam pressure through the valve P*, opening into the gas main P' an: + can re a = as =a = > SSS ceaedianeunen ~ PRE £4 - -ANSONIA BRASS & COPPER CO., No. 19 Cliff Str pet, Phe!ps Building, NEW YORK. ee — Mfg.

A constant | stream of hot gas and air is thus driven into 'the crucible without the mtervention of forcing appliances. Any suitable number of | gas producers thus described may be used, f} several of which are always being revived iby generation of heat, while the gas from |the others is being used in the furnace. | The hot-air stoves are furnished with fire- | brick or equivalent linings, surrounded by 'a common brick casing, this in turn being inclosed in a metal jacket, spaces being left between the common brick and metal casing. The linings are supported by a perforated metal grid, U, upon which the interspaced | brickwork which fills the stove is built. The | 8 Ce ee ee ee oe bosh and 21 feet high, arranged according to Mr. Bull's invention, are said to have given highly satisfactory results. The method of conducting operations is as follows: The furnace, A, is put to work as an ordinary blast furnace with coal, coke or charcoal, hot air being blown in through the air tuyere D, which, in this case, is prefe ably in rear of the furnace. When all is working correctly, gas in a highly-heated | state, made as before described, is forced into the furnace, preferably through two tuyeres E Egon opposite sides of the furnace, and the coal, coke or charcoal is gradually removed until the class of metal produced is of the quality required. When it is required to produce metals very low in carbon, suit able for boiler plates and like purposes, all of the coal, coke or charcoal is removed, and valves at the top of the stoves are opened !then the hight of the charge is lowered in Lf > — oe = *¥ ih \ cee cv 0 SS Gh | | ' | { j } | é rT > oe Cente ome y i> + iiscindaliharsiealinciisilileks — ——~ = | wok gl. 3k eee iy i TPN f an ct ives | Ts \ | | i ate H ¢ Aa TTT an H ¥ y if It} ) | ‘ | MT i deemetti sates!

The chambers, P, P'’, are constructed with a lining or fire-brick surrounded by a com- mon brick and a metal casing, spaces being | left between the liuing and the common brick and between the common brick and the metal casing. The chamber P’, is provided with a metal grid, W, at the bottom, which is used to support the loose brickwork with which the chamber is filled. In working the direct process according to Mr. Bull’s inven- tion, the charge in the furnace is maintained ' the quality desired. By removing the coal, coke or charcoal from the blast furnace it is relieved from the zone of gasification, and thus prevents the great reduction in temper- ature which takes place in an ordinary blast furnace, when the carbonic acid produced by the combustion of fuel is reconverted into carbonic oxide by contact with the incandes cent coal, coke or charcoal. Our annexed engravings, which fully illustrate the ar- rangement of a blast furnace and its acces- sory appliances according to the invention of Mr. Bull, will probably be found interest- ing by many of our readers. It is said that the capital of the company which has been formed will consist of £125;- 000, in 125,000 shares of £1 each, a certain Fig. 6.—Plan and Section through XX, Fig. I. at different hights to produce different! amounts of carbon in the metal, the carbon being derived from the carbonic oxide in the gas, which ascends from the hearth through the ore in the furnace and reduces the ore to a metallic state. Specimens of iron contain ing different percentages of carbon may be easily produced by varying the hight of the charge in the furnace, greater hights pro- ducing greater percentages of carbon. The sulphur, silicon and manganese exist in the ore as silica, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid and oxide of manganese, and before these substances can combine with the iron in a metallic state, they must be deprived of their oxygen, which can only be done by solid carbon, none of which will be used in the furnace. Carbonic oxide and hydrogen, the sole reducing agents under the process, are most effective in reducing oxide of iron to a metallic state, and impregnating the metal when reduced with carbon. These gases wil! not absorb oxygenfrom silica, sul- phuric acid, phosphoric acid or oxide of manganese, and therefore they cannot com- bine with the metallic iron produced. Ex- periments made at the works of the Société John Cockerill, Seraing, Belgium, with a small blast furnace, 6 feet in diameter in the ‘ sum per share being payable on application and the remainder at some future time. It is intended to erect a small blast furnace at once, as recommended by Mr. Bull, and at present not more than 6000 shares will be issued. —_— The Societe Cockerill.—An English cor respondent writes as follows: While in Bel- gium I spent the greater part of one day at the works of the Societe Cockerill, the third largest iron and steel works in Eury pe, ex ceeded only by Krupp’s works at Essen, Prussia, and Schneider’s works, at Creusot, France. They are situated at Seraing, on the river Meuse, about 5 miles from Lieve. They were established in 1817, by John | Cockerill, an Englishman born in Laneashire in 1790, died at Varsovie, en route from Seraing to St. Petersburgh, in 184 The works now are of such immense size that it is impossible for a visitor to do more than merely glance at them if he has only one day for the purpose. They might be likened to the works of the Cambria Iron Company 5 including the Gautier Steel Works and the Baldwin Locomotive Works all combined, without taking into account the mines of ore, coal and limestone, the coke furnaces and ee | } | | | =a ae S—= i — SRL Pe ae > a. q THE 1RON AGE.

C., July 6, 1882, | assembled at the Ebbitt House on that day |The following named gentlemen, compris- | ing the full commission, were in their seate | John L. Hayes, of Cambridge, Mass.; Dun- |can F. Kenner, New Orleans; William H cengge New York City; Henry W | Oliver, , Pittsburgh, Pa.: A. M. Garland Spring . ay lll.; Robert P. Porter, Washing- ton, ; J hi l W H l n len Vi d R me Ga.; "Als »xander R. Boteler, Shepherdstown, | W. Va.; Jacob A. Ambler, Salem, Ohio. The president, Mr. Hs ayes, delivered an address, : , n which he sketched in outline the task be fore the commission. He said: ‘The law declares that the objective point of our labors is tl tablishment of a , | judicious tariff, or the revision jing tariff laws upon a scale interests. Need I say thé our Pp“ le-star, and with fidelit its direc- tion, our labors will have their hichest claim | for put lic appr oval, and even if that fails, a sufficient reason f r ou n contentment | With this end in view no special industry can have undue _advant ge, no private in- | terest can be subserved, no duty promoting | one industry yet oppressing another can be | justified, and the relations of the industries | to each ot ther no less than the special necessi- ties of each must be considered Moreover, through the conditions of justice to all in | terests made imperative by the law, the con |stitutional or theoretical scruples which might have existed as to the original pro- priety of the existing national tariff policy |}must be waived. A radical or subversivs | change in the present general economic policy of the country is virtually interdicted, | and a judicious, not a revolutionary tariff, a revision, not a destruction of existing tariff | laws, is declared to be the object to which |our labors should conduce. If in the defini | tion of the subjects which should receive the | consideration of the commission some ars omitted which we can scarcely doubt were | intended to be kept in doubt if questions of | revenue, if the interests of consumers, of |science, of literature and of art are not ——|specifically referred to, they may be all in- cluded under the impled obligation resting | upon us to consider the interests of the nation asa whole. By making the national interest paramount to those of section, class or industry, we may also find a solution of many questions of opposite. individual, sec- tional] interests, and may avoid many difficul ties by remembering, while not unmindful of justice to existing interests, that pro- tective duties should be imposed or withheld. not for the benefit of individuals or special industries, but for the good of the nation If through the spirit and methods of our labors we should be so fortunate as to con- duce to the result that sectionalism and par- tisanship shal! sink in the aim for the genera! good, and the policies sent names of protec- tion, free trade and revenue reform shal] be merged in the broader system and phrase— a national policy—-the moral will equal the material benefits of the new economical departure.’ The reading of the address was greeted with applause. It was decided that the president of the commission be instructed to consult with the Secretary of the Treasury as to what expense might be safely and legit
