Its length was features, the appended particu- lars, taken from our contem- porary, will be read with inter- 1032 feet ; its width, 145 feet It was spread out on the water and when first seen seemed to be a mere mass of floating vegetation, but on close in spection it was seen to be a double layer of willow poles woven together and dotted over with blocks of stone. A boat was moored at the north [he engine is of the return connecting rod descriptioa, with two piston-rods attached to the cross-head, the latter being fitted with adjustable slipper blocks with large bear- ing surfaces.

The mooring ropes were gradually slaskened as one end of the mattress sank under the ac cumulating weight, and when it disappeared beneath the sur face two long barges loaded with stone were floated over it. Then their load of stone was emptied on the mattress, and at the expiration of two hours all the moorings, except those that held it to the shore, were loosened. It then setiled to the bottom. The bank slopes ata sharp angle, mak- ing the depth of the water about 50 feet. This mattress is to be covered with earth, and willows planted will make a firm bank that will resist the \ river. High water interfered AN i with the work last year, and NA only two mats were sunk in November and December last. In all, 5200 feet of mattress has been sunk, at a cost of $13 a foot. The stone is brought at considerable cost from the Ohio River. The force now employed can make from 100 to 125 feet of mattress a day. The appropriation for the work is $325,000, It will insure | Memphis against a cut-off that might make | her an insular city. |. The Mississippi River Convention, which | has just finished its session in Vicksburg, will meet again in the city of Washington in January next, and will make the improve ment of the Mississippi a measure by itself, | independent of the R.ver and Harbor bill. Dikes are needed to protect the bottom lands up and down the river—lands whose prod- ucts are destroyed to the extent of millions of dollars by the semi-annual overflow, ‘The convention will ask for 310,000,000 means of a nut when engine is to be used as a fire- pump. It will be seen from the engravings that the bed-plate is of great strength, while the steam cylinder is overhung at one end and the fire-pump at the other. The general ar- rangement of the valve-gear is of novel design, the cut-off is automatic, and directly under the control of a gov- ernor of the Hartnell type, with several improvements. The main valve is of the ordi- nary description, driven by an eccentric, with the cut-off valve working at the back and at right angles to its line of motion. The cut-oft valve has several narrow ports through it corresponding with similar ports on the back of the main valve, the stroke being short and the frictional resistance correspondingly de- creased, The cut-off valve rod is connected at the upper end by links to one end of a rocking lever, to the other end of which is coupled the rod of the cut: off eccentric, this latter having a pin forged on to it with a bearing in the governor drum ; the eccentric vibrates on this pin to the position for early and late cut-off. This pin has a lever keyed on its outer end, as shown, and to this lever is attached a rod from an eccentric forged on a pin, on which is keyed one of the arms of the governor, this arm being connected by a link on which is the governor spring. This arrangement gives the governor complete control over the cut- off eceentric, while the latter has no power to affect the position of the governor arms. With the engine runping at 250 revolutions per minute, the extreme variation of the speed was under 12 revolutions, although in the experiment the cut-off was varied in its full range from x to % of the stroke. Self-acting lubricators are fitted to all working parts, the surfaces at the same time being made extra large, with the re- volving parts balanced. = cn — Angle Bars and Nut Locks. —EEE Silver Coinage.—Director of the Mint Burchard has prepared a statement showing the amount of silver accumulated at the colmage mints for coinage into silver dollars |under the act of 1878, with the disposition |made of the same, and showing a.so the profits on the coinage of silver dollars from |} the beginning of the fiscal year on which he became Director of the Mint—1878—up to the 30th of June, 1883. From this statement The Railway World reports that at the | late meeting of the National Road Masters’ Association in St. Paul, a number of road masters participated in a discussion upon | rail joints, fastenings and nut locks.

Fourth ees PHILA DELPHIA, The Lead Industry of the United States.* THC us *COHICKIES, BY C KIRCHHOFF, JR Lead mining in the United States is an in dustry of considerable age. At times during the first half of the present century work was conducted in different localities in the Eastern and Southern States, without, how- ever, ever affording the basis of a steady and sustained oecupation. For a long period the output of the mines of Missouri and of the upper Mississippi region constituted the bulk | of the make of our country, and during the period between 1840 and 1848 it became so heavy that considerable quantities of the metal were exported, the maximum being reached in 1844, when 8223 tons went abroad, In 18s0 the tide set in in the other direction, nearly 16,000 tons bejng imported, and this movement continued for many years, until a growing home production, | made possible by the connection of the mining regions of the Rocky Mountains by railroad with the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, crowded out the foreign lead.
