(Limited), Siemens-Martin (Oren-Hearth) Steel, Universal and Sheared Plates, Angles and Bed-springs are cut and the two ends shaped into a hook and L, respectively, by a machine recently patented by B. E. Ball, of Denver, Col. Upon a table is mounted a horizontal bed-plate, to which one jaw is securely fixed and the other pivoted. The fixed jaw has a projecting cutter and a shaper, while the movable ja® has a corres- ponding cutter and shaper. The table is mounted in close proximity to a cone, which forms the spiral and delivers the coiled wire across the bed-plate and between the’jaws. The movable jaw is first brought forward by a treadle and the wire severed. The com- pleted stroke will shape one end of the spring into a hook and the other end into an L. A new form of removable saw teeth has been patented by E. Harris, of Quincy, IIl. The back of the removable tooth is made with a longitudinal groove having tapering sides, and fitting over a corresponding taper- ing projection on the face of the solid saw- blade tooth. The lower end of the tooth has two lugs or ears adapted to engage with corresponding depressions in the blade of the saw. Atthe upper end the projection is cut away and constitutes a locking shoulder, which will set the tooth in such a way as to cause its upper edge to correspond with the inclination of the solid teeth. A ripping attachment for scissors recently patented consists of a knife casing fastened to the inner edge of one of the handles and to the handle loop. Within the casing is an ordinary folding ripping blade and a spring, like a pocket knife. If the scissors are to be used for ripping, the scissor blades are opened so that their cutting edges are as far apart as possible. The knife is now opened, Shapes, , EU EN the blade projecting from the end of the R B H handle to which it is secured.

A pig-iron breaker of novel construction has recently been constructed by T. A. Blake, of New Haven, Conn. It consists of two stationary jaws against which the pig is laid, and of a rear movable jaw bearing against the pig half way between the fixed jaws. The bed of the machine is made with asmall chamber in front of and between the fixed jaws, into which the workman steps. In this way a single laborer may introduce the pig to the machine, whereas two men would be required if the pig were introduced over the end of the frame. The broken pig falls either to the right and left or within the central chamber. A machine for making barbed wire formed of a single-strand wire with crimps at suita- ble intervals, and with short pieces of pointed wire on said crimps, has been pat ented by L. E. Sunderland, of Joliet, Ill. The strand wire passes first between a pair of tension or straightening dies, and is then grasped by the crimping dies, which form the bends. The barbed wire is next cut and coiled on the strand wire, and then passes under a press to cause the prods of the barbs to point in the proper direction and to straighten them. The finished wire is wound on a spool which is arranged to prevent any sudden jerk or jar, and which gives the proper strain to the wire. PHILADELPHIA. - 7 . Tbe Walker Smokeless Furnace Company, of Boston, Mass., is the patentee of a new damper to close the outlets of furnaces, The damper is designed more especially fcr boiler furnaces in which two separate fires are placed—one at each end of the boiler— and in which, by means of the dampers, the smoke and gas generated in one fire are made to pass over the other fire. The object of the invention is to keep the damper from leaking around the edges when it is in place, even when it may have become warped by the heat. The damper has a beveled flange on one side, and is concave on the other side for holding a refractory sand packing. The upper damper seat has a similar flange, while the lower seat has also a sand packing, and thus these beveled flanges will penetrate the sand to a greater or less depth, accord- ing to the bends or warps, and thereby pre vent any leakage of gas between the damper and its seats. LEA & CO., A locking device for preventing the blade of a screw-driver from turning in its handle is the invention of G. E. Gay and J. H. Parsons, of Augusta, Me. The handle is bored transversely near its top to receive a metallic cylindrical sleeve having a hole at the top and bottom in line with the longi tudinal bore of the handle. The shank of the blade passes through these two holes. A key orlug on the cylinder enters a corres ponding groove of the blade shank, and thus locks the latter properly in place ANALYSIS OF IRON AND STEEL,}| © © Atkins, of indianapolis, tnd., has invented a cross-cut saw designed particu fitted with all the apparatus and appliances for the rapid and accurate analysis of Iron, Steel, Iron larly to be used by two persons, one at each Ores, Slags, Limestones, Coa Baltimore.
