The following comparison of English and ical engineering at the School of Mines, American ordnance is from a recent issue of Columbia College, has a very interesting | the New York Times: It is remarkable that practical school, as it might be called, under | many of the leading devices which have given way, which is likely to be of vast benefit to | their wonderful power to modern guns have its members. It is termed ‘‘ A Summer Class been of American origin, the ideas being in Engineering.” The number of men is lim- | openly borrowed by the European gunmak- ited to 20.

The first thing which is done by the class upon entering a given shop is the prepara- tion of a kind of plan of the whole and of the various shops. We should say, how- ever, that the class is divided into two sections, only 10 men being in any one shop ata given period. The sec- ond lesson, which is divided into several parts, covers the method of handling work, including hoists, cranes and tackle of all kinds. The third subject embraces the princi- ples of arrangement in regard not only to transmission of power and — of work through the shops, but su- perintendence and easy ship- ment of goods. The fourth is the construction of the buildings, the fifth boilers, in which the position is stud- ied in reference to coaling and removing ashes, de- livering, smoke, steam, dan- ger and superintendence ; the sixth and seventh sub- jects are the engines and distribution of power ; eighth is the carpenter and the pat- tern shop; ninth the iron foundry ; tenth, forging of all kinds, from the lightest to the heaviest, together with the tools and processes ; eleventh includes the boiler shop ; twelfth covers metal working machine _ tools, bench work, floor work, tool rooms, and the general ec onomy of these establish- ments are each included. The student is provided with overalls, note book and pencil, calipers and 2-foot rule, and is put in the way of observing all those points of actual practice of which one is likely to be ignorant who has only instruc- tion in the school. Unusual facilities have been given to Prof. Hutton in the prosecution of his work by various manufacturers in the city, and the success which has attended his work during the past four vears has been very great. ‘The present season the number of applicants has been limited to 20, since that is about the maximum number for which room can be found in the shops at any given time. Even the division of the class into two parts, one taking one shop in the morning, and another in the afternoon, makes, as may well be supposed, somewhat of a crowd, even in shops of the largest size. The work is a good one, and enables a young man. to add practical information to the theoretical work which he gets in the regular course. Valuable as is he excursion principle as applied in some of our technical schools, where students visit a shop for an afternoon of study, that method cannot be compared with the opportun- ity offered by a class on the system adopted by Professor Hutton. Only by continued and daily presence in a shop for a considerable time (in this case for four weeks) can the observer have a chance to see a wide range of pro- cesses, or can he see how a standard process is modified by variations in the nature of the work. Columbia School of Mines is to be congratu- lated upon her ability to add such a feature as this to her course, and its popularity among both students and those best adapted to judge of it, are proofs that it is needed and ap- | Pi sciated.— Mechanics. senna It appeats<hat the peculiar odor of Russia leather has of he given rise to investigation, | with the view ot discovering the process of manufacture. It i: rymored that the process is the property of the Russian Gov- ernment, and that various extieame measures have been resorted to so that the art of pre- paring the skins might not be learnea by any foreigner. Suggestions have been also Made, according to which the birch tar and fat used in preparing and tanning the hides are re- sponsible for the peculiar smell which en- | hances the value of the leather to so great an | Experiments calculated to verify | extent. this explanation have, however, thus far failed, and the claim that the odor is due to 8 peculiar property of the Russian cattle, and not to the arts of the tanner, appears to be equally inadmissible, the mystery thus re- Malning still unsolved, | | ships now in commission. |inch rifles, converted from 11-inch smooth- No. 83 Reade Street, New York.

Such is a comparison, reduced to its simplest terms, between English and American cruis- ers in battery power. Of course, we have the remnants of our iron-clad navy, which lare so constructed as to mount 15-inch smooth-bores, but it is doubtful whether any in harbor defense, after their long disuse. All of those now completed, save the Dic- tator, could be shot through by even English guns; in any case, the g-ton thermometer scale which bears his name, and which is used in that country. The earnest and animated discussion of those principles which is now going on in Europe and Amer- ica, guided by the light of modern chemistry, augurs well for the progress of improvement in the manufacture of iron and steel. As already stated, the object of the malleable iron worker is, without changing their shape, to deprive iron castings of more or less of their carbon by oxidizing it without oxidiz- ing the iron, and thus to bring the latter directly to the state of wrought iron or steel. The furnaces employed are generally quad- rangular, say 40 feet long, 10 feet wide and A coclace eee alae Cesta econ Se = an . Mier WH Hh civil war it has steadily retrograded.

The interior is lined with fire- brick. The bottom is covered with a layer of powdered ore. That of manganese, known as the black oxide or pyrolusite, was formerly used ; but the cheaper red hematite, the ses- quioxide of iron, is now generally employed. Upon the floor, the castings, which are sel dom more than 1 inch in thickness, are placed so as not to touch one another, the KITSON’S HYDRAULIC ROLLING MILL REVERSING CLUTCH. of Alexandria were two of the best of Amer- ican cruisers, the wooden ships Lancaster and Quinnebaug.

This is the hest gun we have in foreign waters. The English 10-inch 18-ton gun takes a charge of 7° pounds of powder, driving a projectile of 400 pounds with almost precisely twice the muzzle energy ef the Lancaster’s guns. The | 25-ton guns, of which there were 14 in the Alexandria fleet, have a charge of 85 pounds of powder, and drive a 600-pound projectile with more than three times the energy, | readers, we quote as follows : powder, which may be increased*to 35. The | | puddling processes as a means of removing carbon from the iron, stated that the par- ticular process under consideration differs widely from either of these methods, the carbon being removed without fusing the spaces between them being filled up with the powdered ore. More castings are laid upon this, and the operation is continued until the | furnace is sufficiently full. It is then closed, | heat is applied by means of flues, the con- | metal, without the employment of atmos-|tents brought to a bright cherry-red, and pheric oxygen and without loss of iron by oxidation. As Dr. Kennedy’s remarks con- tain several points of current interest, which will undoubtedly be found acceptable by our ‘The introduc- tion into the United States of this method of rendering objects of cast iron malleable is of comparatively recent date, and since its in- marked by an almost unvarying advance, scarcely affected by commercial cries and the iron industry.

By the annealing a granular structure is given tothe castings instead of the crystalline one, indicating brittleness, which they fre- quently exhibit when they come from the foundry. Crystals are compounds of carbon and iron, which the high temperature and the length of the heating serve to disin- tegrate and to diffuse through the iron, in which they seem to dissolve. Gradually they appear to undergo decomposition, the carbon parting with more and more of its iron, until finally it becomes an artificial graphite or plumbago. It then, seemingly, from being no longer soluble in the iron, separates from it in the state of fine particles. Sometimes they are intimately dissemi- nated through the mass of the casting ; sometimes they form little agglomerations of amorphous graphite, visible to the naked eye, and the more readily distinguishable from the metallic iron, when the fracture is examined, by their darker color and their want of luster. Annealing, then, does not sensibly ab- stract carbon from the cast- ings; it — changes its condition and distribution. The abstraction is due to the powdered ore, which yields up a part of its oxygen to the carbon of the iron, with the surface of which it is in contact. Diffused through the iron, but a small propor- tion of this carbon is near the surface. ‘This portion is first oxidized, being converted into carbonic oxide gas, and escapes, and the combination of the remainder of the car- bon is continued until it is removed. Meanwhile, the red hematite ore has become darker, indicating its loss of oxygen and its transforma- tion into the black magnetic oxide. The castings, when converted into malleable iron, have their valuable properties greatly improved. Carefully conducted experi- ments show their breaking weight to be more than doubled, and not unfre- quently quadrupled, and their physical and chemical! quali- ties to resemble those of steel. Many objects formerly forged are now cast and made mal- leable ; stirrups, bits, and other pieces of saddlery hardware, keys and lock move ments, guards, and other smaller parts of mowing machines subject to strain, and decorative chains for garden walls, and cop ings of cemetery lots, each link an orna mental casting; even cheap edge tools are made of malleable iron, and the number of its applications is constantly increasing.

In a recent issue of the London Engineer we find some interesting particulars concern ing Kitson’s hydraulic friction reversing clutch, in connection with a set of rolls, at the Monkbridge Iron Works, Leeds, Eng land.

There has just been finished, for the New York, Catskill and Athens steamboat Co., a | new steamer called the ‘‘ Kaaterskill,” which, in her way, is a most remarkable boat, de- parting in her interior arrangements very | materially from the stereotyped pattern, and | decided improvement, we think, over boats that have gone before her. she is com- | manded by Capt. Stead, under whose super- } vision a large portion of her work has been | done. The hull is 265 feet on the keel and | 281.4 feet over all, 38 feet beam, 65 feet 4 inches over the guard, depth of hold fo feet, | draft of water small fraction over 6% feet. The hull was built by Van Loan & Magee, at | Athens-on-the Hudson, and was launched in March. The hull itself is said by those who | 8 ! taking the noise of the ropes entirely out of the saloon. ‘This has been a very great mis- take in most of the North River bcats, ard adds to the discomfort of passengers going up the river at night. The after gangway is double, so that passengers and freight need not interfere with each other, though both may land aft if necessary, a i A Great Limestone Slip.—One of the greatest land slips on record recently oc- curred at Crich, in Derbyshire, England, by which some hundreds of thousands of tons of limestone were displaced, without, however, doing any p2rsonalinjury. Theoccurrence, it is said, is hailed with delight by the Clay Cross Coal and [ron Co., who for years have been engazed in blasting the stone for use of iron furnaces. The work of the quarrymen and the use of explosives have thus beeu | suddenly rendered unnecessary, and all that is now tobe done is to break up the stoneand senditaway. Thohillitself, which has been removed, is one of the most remarkable fea- tures of geolozical formation. It consists of strata of limestone, which, by volcanic erup- tion have been forced up iuto a dome through overlying strata of an earlier period, and | which were originally deposited im a horiz- ontal position. At one point a shaft was sunk in search of lead ore. It was noticed some time since that the quarrying had caused a considerable crack in the cliff ex- tending to a distance of between 100 and 200 yards from the no:th to the southwest, and the raius in all probability caused the fissure to open so that in some places it was a yard or two wide. The day before the occur- rence took place there were strong indica- Fig. 3.—Section on A Bof Fig. t. are experts in the matter to be a remarka- | tions of what was about to happen, and it is bly fine piece of work and framed with un- usual solidity. The engine is by Messrs. W. & A. Fletcher, of the famous North River Iron Works, the firm for many years known as Fletcher, Harrison & Co. Thisis the hundredth engine built by them, and the trial trip of the steamer was made rather a notable event by the firm and their employees. The engine is of the usual pattern, a vertical beam with a 62-inch cylinder and 12-foot stroke. The paddles are 31 feet in diameter with a 10 feet face. there are tw: boilers 9 feet 1 inch in diame- ter, 11 feet 6 inches front, 34 feet and 135 feet grate surface. They are placed in the hold, and have separate steam chimneys zoing up through the dome, On tLe trial trip she was started off on what from many works would be considered a rather remark- able speed. Stream was at 40 pounds per square inch, and the engine averaged for the first hour 22% revolutions per minute. The run to the Youkers dock, a distance of 17 miles, was made in 51 minutes, and the return in 59 minutes. There were no hot bearings anywhere about the engine, the whole machinery working as coolly aud easily as though she had been running tne whole season. Those familiar with the proportions of the engines of the firm can readily inderstand the reason for this very cool performance. The bearings are all large and the pressure per square inch quite insig- uificant as compared with what tue surfaces are able to carry with moderate lubrication. the saloon of the steamer is arranged, as we have said, in an unusual manner. There are galleries both forward and aft to the engine and steam chimneys. These galleries are made continuous from end to end, leaving a free ventilation to the upper part of the boat, and make as complete a passageway for the upper staterooms as those on the saloon deck. The forward gallery has three opeu- ings past the machinery, one between the chimneys and the others on both sides. The broad guards of the vessel give ample deck space, and also make the state rooms of much larger size than is to be expected on a vessel of her tonnage. There are 123 state rooms and 24 berths in the ladies’ saloon. There are 62 berths in the after cabin and 30 in the forward. In these a very valuable im provement has been made. ‘he berths themselves are moved some 18 or 20 inches from the side of the vessel, leaving a free circulation of air Loth in front and behind them. In this respect they are quite as de- sirable as the best state-room berths. In the staterooms the lower berth is made nearly one-half wider than usual, giving a very comfortable bed. ‘The inside finish of the boat is very beautiful in its coloring, and in this respect she is perhaps the finest boat on the North River. Sea green, flesh color and neutral tints form the coloring of the panels and ceiling. These are relieved by pilasters of mahogany and fret work- ventilators, also cut in mahogany. The join- ery work is by John E, Hoffmire & bon, and does the firm great credit. Another improvement that we noticed while on board the boat duriug the process of construction will be greatly appreciated by travelers who enjoy a quiet night’s rest. ihe tiller ropes, or irons, instead of passing along beneath the saloon deck, are carried down from the pilot house below the main deck, and along the under side of the deck beams the pul- leys are placed in which the rods run, thus owing only to this fortunate circumstance that the few residents were able to escape in time. There was a villa in proximity to the cliff, and while some men were engaged in the house, a trenbling motion was noticed which caused a speedy retreat. The house then began to slide toward the road, and the effect of the rush was to raise the road up and finally sweep it away. Mr. George Stephenson, the eminent engineer, was the first to attack the cliif many years ago for the limestone, and since then it has been continuously worked fur the iron furnaces. Now, however, not only will the company have supplie; wi:o it being quarried, but they will be acle to supply others. The slip, w hic might have been a most disasiro.s occur- rence, la; thus produccd the op) o ite efic ct, |} and more desirable work has been done iu the gourse of a few moments than could have been effected in years of quarrying. a Coal in Virginia.—Mr. Owen Riordan, in a communication to the editor of Zhe Virgin.as (Staunton), gives some interesting particulars relating to the Upper Potomac and Blackwater coal region. he commenced operations on the beds of this coal tield zu June, 1881, and opened eight veins, the thickest 9 feet and tue :mallest 4 feet, mea «= uring in the aggregate 50 teet ot coal, Fu » ther operations were resumed in May of tl.s year, another vein 10 feet thick being opened. ‘he measures, commencing at the bott.m, consisted of I foot 1 inch of coal, then 3 inches of broken slate, and then $8 feet 5 inches of coal. This is the only vein in that region containing slate. ‘Iwo other veins, 4 and 6 feet thicx respectively, were opened at a later date. Mr. Riordan says that he has now fairly proven that the Poto- mac River rises out of two coal veins on the easter1. slope of Backbone Mountain. The coal neld formerly nown as the **toly” tract and the ‘* Hall” and *‘ Evans” tracts, is situ- ated in the counties of Grant and ‘Lucker, ard is bounded on the west by the backbone Mountain, on the east by the Allegany Mountain, on the north by the Potomac River, and on the south by Red Creek and Dry Fork of Cheat River. It is 25 mules long, and has a superiicial area of 625 square miles. Sixty-six openings have been put in this tield, some on the Backbone, some on the Alleghany Mountain, and some on the Potomac hiver on the norih and on Red River on the south. ‘he thickness of the vein varies from 4 inches to 11 feet 2 inches, ee Spain has in operation 4821 miles of rail- Way, 1310 mules in course of construction, and 1003 miles authorized, The first line built was from Barcelona to Mataro, opened in 1848. The output of zinc iu turope amounted in I58r to 203,330 tons Of these Germany produced 99,405; Belgium, 65,010; the United Kingdom, 22,000; brauce, 13,715 ; and Austria, 3200 In Germany, pper Silesia alone produced 65,437 tons. ihe cost of produccion of 1 tou of raw zinc in that province is siated to and the selling price 333m. ; the protit con sequently amounts to 4ym. per ton, ‘Lhese uigures, as reduced to 4 ton of carbonate of auc, cume to 341. aud 39m. 17p, respec- ively, so that the actual profit amounts to m, I7p. per ton, Have been 259m., p be ad © 1 eee =: > A.
