We illustrate this week a novel and ingen- jous arrangement of a portable riveting ma chine and crane on Mr. R. Tweddell’s well known system. The machine in question, as described in Engineering, forms only a part of a very complete traveling lant designed and manufactured by an English firm, and the arrangement consists of a trolley or carriage, upon which is mounted a crane carrying the riveting machine. By means of a cross gantry the latter is able to be moved in a transverse direction during the time the machine is engaged riveting he trolley retires as the construction of the structure progresses; the connection with the pressure main is never interrupted, as the flexible pipes and swivel joints allow for any change of position ; lift adjusts the position of the machine ver- tically a reverberatory rivet-heating furnace, which enables a considerable quantity of rivets to be always ready The portable riveting machine has a gap of 42 inches, and is capable of closing rivets of 1 inch diame ster. Lhe riveting machine, as shown, is in the proper position for riveting up the floor- plates of bridges ; it is, however, obvious that the machine can be used with a lever, vertically or horizontally or at any intermediate angle. In addition to the crane and riveter illus- trated, a motive-power trolley is supplied, on which is fixed the steam engine, boiler, ac- cumulator and the pumps. Supplied from this same power trolley are also other travel- ers carrying spare riveters for different parts of the girders. The object of thus subdividing the plant is, of course, to minimize as much as possible the load to be carried by the gird ers during construction ; otherwise the prin- ciple is the same as that used by Mr. Tweddell in conjunction with Messrs. Fielding and Platt, of Giouceser, the builders many years ago on similar work in England. EP METALLURGICAL NOTES. A New Method for the Uxtraction of Selenium. The following is the translation of an article written by M. P. Kienlen, which was published in Bulletin de la Suc iété Chemique de Paris: The increased demand for selenium in con- nection with the microphone and similar in- ventions makes the discovery of a new sup ply of this substance a most important one It is well known that selenium, which is one of those elements so seldom found in nature, is not directly extracted from the natural selenides which in minute quantities ac- company the sulphides found in certain dis- tricts, but, rather, it is isolated from various secondary products of industrial chemistry in which this metalloid accumulates. Among the products which the technical works make special mention of are the dust from the roasting of selenium minerals in metallurgical establishments, and the deposits which are formed in the lead chambers of sulphuric acid factories, in which pyrites containinz traces of selenium have been treated. The great chemical industry contains, however, still another product which is very rich in selenium, and I am sure it will be imme- diately recognized by chemists who are occupied in the manufacture of chemical products. I refer to the deposit which is formed in the condensation bottles of hby- drochloric acid. It results from the volatil- ization of selenium contained in the sulphuric acid used for the decomposition of salt. Among the larger factories of chemical products, the acid generally used for this purpose is derived from the glover’s tower, and a sufficiently strong proportion of iron renders it undesirable for the manufacture of concentrated acid. In the glover’s tower the selenic acid coming from the roasting of the pyrites is reduced by the sulphurous acid into selenium, which is ia part dissolved in the acid and partially remains suspended in the mass. The proportion of selenium | retained in this way in the acid is often acid a very pronounced blood-red coloration ; such would be the case with an acid made from the pyrites of Sain Bel, near Lyons, France. The estimation of selenium in such acid may be easily made when a sufficient quantity is used for the determination ; three times its volume of water 's added, and then it is allowed to slowly evaporate in a warm place. The clear liquid is decanted by means | the selenium precipitated is | of a syphon; collected on a tarred filter, and washed and dried in an oven at 100° C. From analyses made on the Glover acid and on the chamber acid, sults were obtained : Glover Acid. ..-»» 1,606 (54° Beaumé) | al 0.0283 Grams. 00176 * Density ...... Selenium in i liter......

For the industrial extraction of selenium ‘from this deposit I made use of the follow- ing process: The dust, mixed with water, was treated in the cold with chlorine ina | series of large Woulfe bottles. The chlorine | was taken directly from one of the leaders of chlorine in the factory, and drawn through by a strong aspiration. The selenium was Selenium is found mixed with connections From a number of found to 'from which the metal is cbtained.

Fi- nally there is obtained a strong acid solution | containing selenious, selenic acid and hydro- chloric acid. Se Cl, + 3H.,O + Ag. = SeO3H, + 4 CIA Ag.

When the brick-red color disappears ccm- | pletely from the first bottle, it is withdrawn | with the addition of manganese (referred to! of steel and iron, from the hardest to the, 28 in the Badische Gewerbe Zeitung), is Mushet’s ‘special steel,” the valuable qualities of which are spoken of. It contains up to 8 7 per cent Wolfram and 2.6 percent. manga nese. It is extremely hard and tough—re sisting a good English file—but it is softer if the ordinary hardening process be employed Opinions are divided as to the merits of Wolfram although some important practical authorities recognize its valuable properties. The partial degree in which this metal has been adopted is attributed to the fact that the ore is but seldom met with. It stated that articles have been sold and replaced by the second one of the which thus becomes the first: the last bottles must always receive the fresh est dust. The liquid, which is colored black, is filtered through felt, and then brought to boiling in the presence of an of hydrochloic acid, which reduces the selenious acid to selenic acid with the evolution of chlorine Returning to the treatment of the substance itself, the sele nium is thrown down in large earthenware vessels by the acid sulphite of sodium, which is added until a streng odor of sulphurous acid is given off. The metalloid, which is of a/ is magnificent crimson-red color, is precipitated under the name of Wolfram steel which con in large flakes, and collects together into a tained no trace of Wolfram, and thus mis mass reflecting a bronze tint. It is then | apprekensions on the subject may have been brought to boiling by means of steam ; the created among consumers. Two well-known precipitate rapidly collects at the bottom of chemists thought they had proved that Wolf- the vessel, and contracts in the form of a| ram cannot be alloyed with any other metal steel-gray mass having a spongy appear- except iron. This assertion seems, however, ance. The selenium thus obtained is washed, | to have been proved fallacious. Biermann, series excess steel, also i iia Hitt OUT ty PORTABLE HYDRAULIC RIVETING MACHINE. |of Hanover, has for several years produced Wolfram alloys with several metals. Refer- ence is made to a bronze known as Bier- mann’s Wolfram bronze, costing about 2/9 per pound. It contains 95.4 per cent. of copper, 3 per cent. of tin and 1.6 per cent. of Wolfram, is tough, malleable, capable of being rolled and of great strength. For its working a temperature is required about posed to the naked fire, and cast by cither pouring in water or into glass molds, Wolfram and tits Alloys. The most important combinations of Wolf- ram which occur in nature are tunstate of lime or sheelite, as well as Wolframite, which is also designated Wolfram. The last mineral, observes an English exchange, seems principally to produce Wolframic acid 180 F. above that required for ordinary bronze. If Wolfram is heated with copper and coal dust in hermetically-closed cruci- bles, a tough alloy is obtained with 12 per cent. of Wolfram, which is well adapted for axle journals and telegraph wire.

Two somewhat similar collections have been supplied by Mr. Kirk aldy to the Imperial College of Engineering, Japan, a Examination of Stationary in Philadelphia. Engineers At the October meeting of the Franklin Institute, Mr. John W. Nystrom read a preamble and resolution concerning com- pulsory examination of stationary engineers in Philadelphia. On motion of Mr. Nystrom to appoint a committee of five to consider and report upon the resolution, which was carried, the president of the Institute ap- pointed Messrs. Washington Jones, Coleman Sellers, Jr., Thomas Hockley, C. M. Cresson, and John W. Nystrom, chairman. At the November meeting of the Institute a majority of the committee reported as fol- lows: The committee to whom was referred the matter of memoralizing City Councils on the subject of compulsory examination of en- gineers and firemen report : That in their opinion City Councils have not power under existing acts of Assembly to pass the ordinance proposed. WASHINGTON JONES, COLEMAN SELLERS, Tuomas HockLey. The chairman of the committee declined to sign this report, on the ground that a com- mittee of the Franklin Institute should not give an opinion on law, which should be decided by the City Solicitor. The City Councils, however, have the power to pass the proposed ordinance under existing acts of Assembly. Mr. M. the majority report, small majority. Mr. Nystrom then moved to increase the committee from five to seven, which was carried, and the president accordingly ap- pointed Messrs. W. A. Ingham and Wm Helm on the committee. At the meetings of the committee, two of its members were strongly opposed and raised many objections to compulsory exam ination of engineers, and in order to remove these objections the chairman of the com- mittee considered it necessary to amend the proposed ordinance, as follows : To the President and Members of the Frank lin Institute.--Gentlemen : PREAMBLE, Whereas, The city of Philadelphia has suffered a great many disastrous steam-boiler explosions which could have been prevented by proper precautions ; and, Whereas, There are now in use in the city of Philadelphia some 600 boilers which have dangerous flat castyiron heads and other de fects; and, Whereas, Any one of these to explode at any moment if in charge of an incompetent hand ; and, Whereas, Such a great number of danger ous steam boilers cannot reasonably be re moved without great inconvenience and ex pense to the owners of these boilers ; ana, Whereas, It is known that the explosions of this class, as well as of other classes, of boilers have been caused by incompetent attendants ; and, Whereas, It is of equal importance to examine stationary engineers as it is to Eldridge moved the adoption of which was lost by a boilers Is liable examine steamboat engineers, for the reason that human life is as precious on land as on water ; and, Whereas, It has been demonstrated by ex- plosions that the object of steam-boiler in- spection cannot be rendered effective with out competent attendants ; and Whereas, It bas been proven by ex perience that it is necessary to steamboat engineers in order to render steam-boiler inspection effective ; and, Whereas, It would be of great advantage to the city of Philadelphia, as well as to th steam users therein, in regard to safety and economy in the working of steam engines and boilers, to elevate stationary enyineers examine by examivation and grade to the level of steamboat engineers ; be it Resolved, That the mayor and councils of the city of Philadelphia be respectfully requested by the Franklin Institute to pass an ordinance to the following effect, + Supplement to an Ordinance of July 13, 15068, Entitled an Ordinance Regulating the In- spection of Steam Boilers City of Philade Iphia, Pennsylrania Sec. 1.
