The ferm of curves for guides and buckets is evidently not prescribed by the general theory of the turbine. The angles, the pro- and laying down the curve, step by step, as the resultant of the motions of water and wheel, or the path may be plotted directly from the equation of the curve. * * * “Centrifugal”? pumps, which are to be considered as reversed turbines, and in which centrifugal action may or may not greatly modify the relative motion of the water passing through their channels, are subject to the same laws, and the common theory of their action is to be moditied in a similar manner. The remarks above made in regard to forms of bucket and methods of determining their curves also apply to this class of machines, and the methods to be pur sued in securing minimum wastes of energy It may be well here to repeat that the| portions of the wheel, its principal dimen- y I I F I t are the same as for turbines.

Concerning it the Jronmoniger has | for various operations in connection with the following : sheet-metal work cannot be denied, and a The manufacture of articles from sheet |} considerable number-of these presses of the a iron and metal has of late years been im- meusely facilitated by the introduction of ‘‘power presses,” superseding to a great extent the old-fashioned stamp or drop-ham- Fig. mer. One of the most important of labor- reducing appliances is to be found in the use f the device technically known as the pressure plate.” To the uninitiated it may e well to explain that in the process of stamping there is a tendency in the me*al ider operation to ‘‘ pucker,” and so spoil the material. It has long been known that f the sheet could be held with a sufficient legree of tightness upon the flat part of the e, the desired cupping ” or ‘‘ dishing” nuld be effected to a greatly-increased depth, for the metal is then thickened up cireumfer- utially im exact proportion with its reduc- tion toward the center. The successful ap- plication of this principle, however, is of mparatively recent date, and, as the Amer- ‘ans were the first to adopt presses so made, .e ter@® ‘‘ American stamping” is often ised to describe this process. Whether the principle wa; first discovered in America or not is a debatable question. The fact re- nains that the makers of stamping presses in the United States have been able to sell reat numbers of their machines in this coun- ry and on the Continent. The construction of nost of these presses, however, left room for improvement, and it is te this end that aylor & Challen, of Birmingham, have irecting their attention for some time een ast, fhe outcome of their ts being the type of press illust herewith. A smaller press than the one shown is ble f admitting blanks up to 19 inches in di eter, and of stamping to a depth of 3; jnches, but the apparatus here represen hand variety are in use in this country, not- withstanding the apparent advantages which other styles of presses possess over them either in first cost, space required fur oper- 1.—New English Drawing Press.

The dy namos at the Pear! street station were started for the first time September 4, 1882, and have been running and furnishing light ever since that time. Sans the fact that this mode of lighting is an absolutely new industry, the achievements of the Edison Company are re markable, while the mechanical! and business management they have displayed is worthy of the highest commendation. One peculiarity which characterizes the Edison Company in their lighting experiments has been the care in all matters of details, however insignificant The wires of the company have been run underground, and in the agitation that is now taking place with reference to over head wires, the fact that they have been the foremost in putting wires underground is |in the form of bucket, permitting a smaller | value of the exit angle ben cau be obtained with uniform direct flow, if the volume of water discharged be constant. Since the force exerted on the passing stream by the bucket or the guide is simply a deviatin | force, and since the angles of entrance col exit oaly are fixed by the theory of the wheel, it is obvious that the designer may, within certain limits, choose the form of the curve to suit himself or to meet any speci- fied conditions. The best form of curves is that which causes least loss of energy, and at the same time produces such total centrifugal action, if any, as may be best for the kind of wheel to be constructed—i, ¢., that which gives minimum centrifugal action in outward and maximum in inward flow wheels.

Gas Machines, The Pennsylvania Globe Gas Light Com pany, of Philadelphia, successors to the Elkins Manufacturing and Gas Company, have sent us an illustrated catalogue of their improved Royal gas machine. The pamphlet gives a full description of the gas machine, including cuts of the air pump and car |bureter. The machine is intended to sup ply gas to all kinds of buildings, both dwell 9 | ing houses and factories, the material used | being gasoline. Ample testimony to the merits of their system is given in the number | and character of the references appended to the catalogue. The Odell Roller Mill. The Stilwell & Bieree Manufacturing Company, of Dayton, Ohio, have just sent | us a catalogue fully illustrating and describ ing the Odell roller mill. The latter is the jinvention of Mr. H. H.

The con- cluding pages, as usual in many publications of this general character, are devoted to tes- timonials from various sources.

The mains, it appears, are to be extended as rapidly as possible to cover some 250 miles of streets. A smaller map | gives partic ulars as to the length of line now | in operation, and which supplies over 250 | consumers, including 160 engines for power. The last six pages are devoted to a list of | the consumers of the company. Lime Extracting Heaters.

The concluding pages contain a large number of testimonials from different manufacturers who now have such heaters in use, and the general character of these would seem to indicate that the appli ances are meeting with a good deal of favor.
