A carefully | said to be in favor of Mr. Jameson’s inven- j tion. Another point in favor of the new methed is that the entire apparatus can be applied to the coke ovens now in common use at a very slight cost. The bottom of the oven is perforated and receives the end of a suction pipe, which latter can be made of a length suitable to the requirements of any special situation. At a large chemical works at Felling, England, where the new method has been adopted, this suction pipe is sunk under the ovens and emerges in a trench a few feet below the surface and about half a dozen yards from the coking furnaces. There it communicates with the condensing pipes, from which, at intervals, the liquid products are drawn off, while the remaining gas is, for the present, allowed toescape. The suc- tion pipe is operated by a blower, and the power required for this purpose is said to be almost inappreciable. The suction exercised amounts to about half an inch of water. The entire plant, as described by an English contemporary, comes inte very small com- pass, consisting, as it does, of only a couple of short ranges of piping, a few receiving tanks and the means of producing the trifling suction power that is necessary. The principle illustrated by the worik ing of the process is an important one. In making the ordinary hard coke of commerce, the coal with which the oven is charged is ignited at the top, and burns downward. With the gradually increasing heat the coal begins to ‘‘cake” at the surface, or, in scientific parlanc>, an agglomeration of its particles takes place. The gases and vapors emitted rise to the intensely heated surface of the charge, where the ammoniaca] products are decomposed and alogether lost, while the carbon of the hydrocarbon gas is burnt and wasted. The pitchy hydrocarbons of the coal being more fluid than volatile, set in the charge, and become valuable constituents in the coke, affecting, as they do to so impor- tant a degree, its density and hardness. By means of Mr. Jameson’s apparatus, a con- siderable quantity of these pitchy con- stitents of the coal could be withdrawn from the oven, but the result would be to leave the coke im a comparatively soft and porous state. The object timed at is to extract such valuable elements of the charge as may be taken without adversely affecting the market value of the coke, and therefore xb). a = a I Fig. 2.—Position of the Mechanism During Admission of the Material Into the Recipient, 4is process is not proceeded with. ‘iction is so managed as to cause no actual Passage of air through the charge.

We would state that, according to present reports, the balance has received the approval of the French authorities, and may now be employed in all commercial transac- tions for the purpose of obtaining rapidly and accurately the weights of ether solid or liquid substances. The engravings, as will be seen, represent a perspective view, as in Fig. 1, a vertical section shown in Fig. 5, and views of the positions of the different parts of the balance when in action, as in Figs 2,3 and 4. The interior mechanism consists of a lever, A, with two arms of equal length, one of which supports a recep- tacle, B, and the other a scale-pan, C, while a regulating appliance in connection with the above mentioned receptacle controls the admission of the material to be weighed. Suitable provision, moreover, is made for the escape of the material after having been weighed, and a registering apparatus which is attached to the balance gives the total weight of any number of different weighing operations, Referring to the illustrations, we would say by way of explanation that J, shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4, is a lever attached to the recipient ; the rod K, as will be seen, is con nected to the lid H, which covers the bottom of the recipient, and to the lever J, while the piece L serves to open the valves F and G. A pawl, M, at the bottom of the apparatus, serves for closing the lid H, while the pawl O is employed for stopping the weighing op- eration in case of accident, and for the pur- pose of rendering the support L immovable, in order to allow a more complete control of the apparatus ; P isa counterweight mounted on a rod, as shown, while the rod Q actuates the registering apparatus. Near the lower part of the hopper, shown on a larger scale in Figs. 6 and 7, are two valves, F and G, arranged in such a manner as to admit of completely cutting off the flow of the enter- ing material. The valve F turns around a fixed axis, r, which is shown in the vertical section in Fig. 5, and carries at its lower edge several segments, f f. The second valve G also turns on the shaft r, and is used for the purpose of completely closing the orifice of the hopper. The arm operating the valve G carries at its upper portion a piece, s, shown in Fig. 2, resting om the ) PESOS YOO’ NNO aD E +e arranged system of periods of work, rest! and change is adopted A warden standing with a clock before him, every five minutes sverything is very com plete, and the wheels are so geared to the milling machinery that the 350-tramp power in full operation efficiently drives five run of stone lhis system, connected with the | Crofton plan of marks, &c., will probably be very largely adopted in the United King | dom, and while making the prisoner’s labor more effective, may also produce some dis taste among chronic prison habitants for the enjoyment of dishonorable leisure.

A displacement of the segment F conse-! placed on the scale-pan C. Tt will be readily seen that the admission of the substance to be weighed should not be interrupted when the weights placed on the scale-pan C and the substance in the recipient are exactly in equilibrium, since the weight thus recorded would be incorrect. This is due to the fact that a rapid cutting off of the supply could not be effected, and a small amount of grain would escape into the recipient immediately before the eomplete closing of the orifice of the hopper During the fceding operation the beam of the balance supports the weight of the piece G, and it is this excess of the regular weight which determines the descent of the recipient before the weight of the material in the re cipient is equal to the weights in the scale pan. It is of course necessary that this dif ference should be determined for each appa ratus, so that the weight of the grain may always correspond exactly to the weight The piece UO ee ee ote CT .

The downward movement is regulated by the counterweight R, which is mounted on a rod, as already stated. The grain or other substance then escapes by the small openings f /, and after some time the recipient again commences to descend and causes the valve G to take such a position as to completely cut off the admis sion of the grain. During this time the oval counterweights attached to the arm of G occupy such a position that the center of gravity of the body of the valve is a little to the right of the vertical passing through r. This causes the charge in the recipient B to be increased and accelerates the descent of ithe lever A. Finally, at the moment of closing of the hopper the piece G is com- pletely independent of the segment F, and is no longer in contact with the button ¢ | Owing to the descent of the recipient the hori zontal branch of the piece M meets a projec tion N, which is fixed on the bed-plate of the | apparatus, as in Fig. 4, and a rotary move- fastened to one side of the receptacle B serves to engage the lever J in such a man- ner that both the latter and the rod L (Fig. 3) cannot change position during the closing of the lid H. Both the feeding operation and the action of the various parts of the appa- ratus are thus stopped, and the index Z can oscillate freely below the small fixed point shown, owing to the fact that the support L and the edge s are no longer in contact. This insures the equality of the weight of the grain or other substance poured automat- ically into the recipient and the weights placed on the pan C, After the apparatus has been used, the lid H should be closed and prevented from opening by placing the lever N in the position shown in Fig. 3, and if the apparatus is in proper working order the in- dexes Z should be in the same vertical. If the contrary, however, be the case, the posi- tion of the weight P, shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and operated by the piece G, should be changed by moving it either to the right or to the left, until the desired result is ob- . ra‘ mS ae 4 ERTS eR rel TLL ment then ensues, in virtue of which the hook M is disengaged and allows the lid H to drop. Since the latter is attached to the lever J by means of the rod K, its fall causes a displacement of these pieces, which assume the position indicated in Fig. 4. In propor tion as the inelosed substance escapes from the receptacle B, the lever A tends to regain its original horizontal position, while the valves F and G return to their primitive position only after the lid H is again closed It should be stated here that the eounter weight J is sufficient to overcome the resist anoe opposed to the motion of the several | Transverse Section, tained.

A few days ago a certificate of incorpora- tion was filed in the County Clerk’s office, in this city, creating the ‘‘ New York Associa- tion for the Protection of American Indus- try.” It is founded in accordance with the act of May 12, 1875, which permits the for- mation of corporations for patriotic, eco- nomic, literary or benevolent purposes, among others. The principal business and | objects of this association are declared in the certificate to be as follows : 1. The promotion and dissemination of patriotic, economic, literary and benevolent. | ideas among its members, and among manu- facturers, mechanics, workmen and others. 2. The promotion of such action, public and pr
