: the 1er er on Published every Vol. XXXVI: No. 16. Cost of Repairs to Naval Vessels. The forthcoming report of the Naval Board if Inspection and Survey will include some significant facts relative to the results of their inspection of vessels at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and will give more in detail the leplorable condition of some of the vessels still borne on the navy register. They will also confirm the statements made by the Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repairs. For instance, the old frigate Colo- rado, which has been in commission as a re- ceiving ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard for several years, is to be succeeded by the old frigate Vermont. All materials that can be made use of from the Colorado are to be utilized in fitting out the Vermont. Upon the completion of this work the Colorado is to be stripped of all materials that can here- after be used in the repairs of other vessels, and then she will be placed in ‘‘ ordinary,” to be appraised and sold. This course has been decided upon because it was estimatea that the cost for repairs of the Colorado would be $120,000 to make her seaworthy. 1 he ( olo rado was built in 1855 at an original cost for hull and machinery of $883,960. The repairs upon her since have been $529,295 by the Bureau of Construction and Repairs, $335,967 by the Bureau of Steam Engineering, and $522,873 by the Bureau of Equipment, mak- ing a total of $2,272,095. ; The frigate New York, which was designed and put in frame by Naval Constructor B. F. Delano in 1865, and has had $581,475 expended upon her, is still on the stocks, and, it is estimated, will require $400,000 more to complete her. She is of fine model, and has a live-oak frame that, from its age and the care taken of it, isin an excellent state of preservation. She is 315 feet in length on the mean load line, 345 feet over all, 47 feet breadth of beam and 25 feet rt inches depth from the lower edge of the rabbit of the keel to the lowest port sill of gun deck. She was designed to be ship- rigged. Her armament could be made equal to the weight of two 100-pounders, one 60- pounder Parrott rifle and 16 g-inch smooth- bore guns. A battery could also be arranged to have a direct bow and stern fire from half-turret guns on the spar deck and re- cessed ports on the gun deck. With modern engines and boilers the vessel could be given a 14-knot speed. Materials for steel boilers were purchased last year, and work on them is well under way in the steam engineering department at the Washington Navy Yard. The displacement of this vessel at a draft of 183¢ feet forward and 21 feet 5 inches aft is 4527 tons. When the question of completing her is decided the plans —_ be finished in a short time ; and if the mateMals for planking, ceiling, decks and other wood- work, excepting joiner materials, are im- pregnated by the Thilmany process for pre- serving ship timber, the Chief Naval Con- structor is of the opinion that she will be useful for the next 20 years. The Java, another frigate, lies on the stocks alongside the New York, but was built of white oak which is so thoroughly rotten that she is not worth completing. The Colossus, which was begun during the war and lies partially completed in the ship- house, was intended as a double-turreted monitor. As the woodwork is badly rotted with ligneous acid frum contact with the iron frames, it will probably be sold for cordwood, She has iron diagonal truss rames which cost $157,000. These frames are all keyed together, and it is recom- mended that they can be readily and eco- nomically removed from the vessel, shipped to the Washington Navy Yard and worked over into such sizes of materials as may be required for use in new vessels or the re- pairing of old ones in the future. The Intrepid, an iron armored vessel of 1150 tons displacement, was built in the 3oston Navy Yard in 1872 at a cost of $582,721. Since then $16,632 has been ex- pended upon her for repairs. The plans for alterations of this vessel were recently ap- proved by a naval board, and preparations are now making to haul out the vessel for the necessary alterations, When completed it will give to the navy an effective gunboat | for use in the Asiatic squadron. The frigate lennessee, which is the largest vessel in the navy, and has cost more than any other, is doomed. The Chief Naval Constructor re- ports that the probable life of this vessel will not extend beyond 12 months, when she will be past repairing under the present law, which forbids the repair of any wooden ves- sel of the navy estimated to cost more than 20 per cent. of the appraised value of a new ship of like size and materials. As she originally cost $1,856,075.81 ($908,564 for the hull and $948,075.81 for her machinery and outfit), the cost for repairs would be $371,215. In addition to her original cost, the expenditures for repairs since she was finished in 1867 have been $831,574.34 by the Bureau of Construction, $586,009.60 by the Bureau of Steam Engineering, and $323,128.34 by the Bureau of Equipment, making a total of $3,596,786.14. TE The New Town of Hegewisch.— Another of these new model industrial enter- prises for which Chicago is so famous is developing upon the forks of the Calumet River, and between it and the Chicago and Atlantic, and Louisville, New Albany and | Chicago, and the New York, Chicago and St. Louis, and the Chicago and West Indiana Thursday Morning by Davin WILLIAMs, railroads. The United States Rolling Stock Company, of which Mr. Adolph Hegewisch is president, have here purchased 200 acres, while other companies have united in setting apart some 1300 acres of land tc be made into the model manufacturing town of Hege wisch. The foundation for the larger shops was laid last fall and others are now under way. Eventually shops and machinery to build rolling stock will be erected, employing a population of 10,000 people. _— ee — Improved Cut Nail Machine. The annexed engraving illustrates an im- proved cut nail machine, manufactured by the American Nail Machine Company, of Ashtabula, Ohio. It represents the smallest of five sizes, which constitute the series they are building, the machine presenting several features of interest to cut-nail man- ufacturers, as it is well known that the nail IMPROVED CUT NAIL MACH machines in common use in North America and Europe have not been changed, modi fied or improyed in any way for a consider- able length of time. Their arrangement, proportion and construction are such that they do not fully meet the modern require- ments, and especially since the advent of the age of steel have their deficiency become more apparent. It was with a view to sup- ply the more exacting requirements of the present time that this machine has been brought out. It is claimed for the machine that it com bines all the convenient arrangement of parts, strength, symmetry of design, correct proportions, durability and simplicity requi- site in this class of machinery. ‘The parts are all interchangeable, and their propor- tion is such that the danger of breakage is greatly reduced. The working parts are well finished and properly proportioned, and the journal-bearings, ce.ter bushings and friction plates are made of best carbon bronze. The journal and bushing bronzes are accurately scraped and turned to a driv- ing fit, aligned and bored in position. The crank and wrist pins are of best tool steel No. 83 Reade Street, New York. shrunk in and parallel with the axis of the power shaft and cutting lever, thus avoid ing waste of power and the tendency to heat. All the conic centers are located in the bed-plate, the heading lever being in- closed within the latter and actuated in such a way that its power multiplies as it ap- proaches, and, while upsetting the head of the nail, producing heads of any size with out endangering the machine. The toggle is applied behind the heading die, applying the power direct to the work, and there is no springing, thus obviating the necessity of pounding the gripping dies in order to head the nail. The gripping lever is yoked to its operative cam, requiring noretracting spring to act as a brake and waste the power given out by the engine. The motion of this lever, moreover, admits of adjustment. The grip- ping cams are ground, and their form is such that the dies are in contact during the exact period required for gripping and head- ing the nail. ie a | 4 | Mi | H iol INE.—AMERICAN NAIL MACHINE be adjusted without adding to, taking from or in any way mutilating its cam. All the holding and adjusting set-screws are of best tool steel, carefully tempered, and are so located with reference to the line of thrust as to produce the best result. The bed-die and knife-holders are in all cases inclined two ways at angles of 3°. The moving knives are all straight, thus locating the cutting stress within, instead of outside, the face | The stationary head or tool-holder in the bed plate is so constructed as to possess all the requisite strength for this part. The balance or fly-wheel is located between the housings, thus securing and maintaining a proper alignment of the power-shaft. The machines are furnished with tools, &e., ready for operation, and the present routine of opera- ting or making nails is not changed in any way. Any of the parts can be instantly re- placed, thereby effecting to the nail manu facturer a great saving on repairs and of time. Any mechanical self-feeder can be at- | tached without mutilating, altering or en- |eumbering the working parts of the tool. | The machines are’ now extensively used in Entered COMPANY, at the Post O'fice, New York. as Secon New York, Thursday, Ap 17, 1884. and, accord good work, different parts of the country ing to all accounts, are doing giving general satisfaction The capacities and speeds of these im proved machines are as follows : Speed R. pr.

A considerable amount of interest was re cently excited by a statement telegraphed from London relative to the behavior of the swords and bayonets used by the British troops in theengagement with Osman Digna. The correspondent who forwarded the ac count of the fight stated the swords and ASHTABULA, OHIO that if they touched a bone they bent like hoop iron without piercing the body, whereas the lances of the Arabs appeared to do all that was required of them. Referring to this, the London Jronmonger of recent date publishes an article which, while in a meas- ure questioning the entire trust worthiness of the reports, directs attention to some rumors seriously reflecting upon several British steel manufacturers. We quote as follows ‘*The prominence accorded to the report has insured due notice, and there can be no doubt that the matter will not be allowed to rest. The Government have been questioned on the subject in the House of Commons, and General Graham has been instructed to send home a report, together with any de fective weapons of the sorts indicated, so that the War Office should be open up a thorough investigation at an earl) date. Pending the result of the official in quiry, it would perhaps be a little premature to express anything like a decided opinion At the same time we may venture the sur mise that the swords and bayonets are not by any means so bad as they have been rep resented to be by a report which was doubt enabled to ‘The Iron Age A Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal Trades. ovelNtex T 1-Class Matter. SL.50 a Year, Including Loslage. Single Copies, Ten Cents. less compiled and transmitted in all the hurry and excitement of a fierceiy-contested battle. We do not for a moment seek t dispute the bona fides who home the fuller knowledge of the technical aspects of the issues raised, we are not disposed to accord full credit to the statement that a sharp-pointed bayonet would not penetrate a human body by a direct thrust. The worst of steel would do this, and, with the meager evidence in our possess.on, we cannot jum) at the conclusion that the bayonets supplied to our soldiers have been made of material so worthless as to bend when in contact with human bones. As regards the swords, the alleged bending may be more readily ex plained, but, with our knowledge of the respectable firms who have supplied the Wa Office and Amiralty with swords and cut lasses, we should certainly decline to believe all that is insinuated without official cor of the correspondent sent news; yet, with our The time of the nipper may ' bayonets used to have been so poor in quality | roboration ‘* There is much in the newspaper report, indeed, which we find ourselves unable tv properly assimilate. Setting aside for the moment the swords and bayonets of our ow troops, we are told that the lances of the Arabs did their work well, and penetrated the bedies of our men with fatal efficiency. If this be true, therefore, these lance-heads, used by men who are little better than sav ages, and supplied to them, no doubt, in the customary ‘‘ African trade” manner, were | of better quality than the weapons supplied, under British Government tests, by the most skillful manufacturers in the world, to troops which are certainly second to none. Here, also, are difficulties of digestion which we are quite unable to remove, nor are we able |to comprehend why no complaints were made of the weapons used by our men at El | Teb, or in all the other fighting of recent | years. Surely the swords and weapons have | not been so greatly affected by the climate of the Soudan as to give way suddenly, and in a most provoking manner, just at a most | critical moment! At Sheffield it is publicly | hinted that the competition of the steel | manufacturers may not improbably be found | to have caused a deterioration in the quality of the lethal weapons under reference. It is alleged that sword and bayonet steels are offered at prices at which good crucible cast | steel cannot possibly be sold, and that Bes semer steel alone can be supplied at the quo- |tations. Further, it is held that competition | among the sword and bayonet makers.them- selves is so keen that they cannot afford the time and care in manufacture which are necessary to turn out goods of proper tem- |per. These, however, are very general alle- | gations, although they are serious reflections }upon a number of manufacturers whose reputations have been hitherto above sus | picion. They are also grave reflections upon the Government authorities charged with | the inspection of military weapons ; | quently, it is most desirable on every ground that the whole affair should be thoroughly and resolutely sifted at the very earliest moment.” conse oe The plans proposed for the construction of the Philadelphia extension of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have given considerable prominence to the oft-discussed question of grade crossings, and have aroused much interest in Philadelphia, as well as Baltimore The method favored in the latter city is the construction of an elevated railroad, but, not withstanding the elimination of dangerous | features which it would effect, considerable | opposition has been encountered, the antag onists of the scheme contending that, inasmuch as it is intended to be exten sively used for the transportation of freight | as well as of passengers, laws sanctioning it cannot be justified on the grounds which | led to the authorization of the elevated roads |of New York, these being devoted exclu sively to the carriage of furnishing accomodations for local travel of incalculable value. In Philadelphia, on th« | other hand, the necessity of avoiding grad: crossings does not seem to meet with due appreciation, and in the work of extension to be carried on there this important point is apparently ignored. It is pleasing to note however, that the grant of a right to erect over the Schuvlkill River a bridge to be used by the extension of the road is to | withheld until plans of the route to be f lowed after such a crossing is effected have been presented to and been approved by the Councils of Philadelphia. The large numbe: of grade crossings now existing there, and the many serious and fatal occasion, have made conservative acti necessary, and as those interested in t question are not only the railroads direct entire | passengers, and accidents the y humber of tray elers exposed to the dangers of such traps the establiskment of further crossings the same nature should be prevented, if at a concel ned, but the possible al At the close of September, 1883, as appears from a French official railway return, ther were 16,8943 miles of line in operation in France Phe corresponding length of line i: operation atthe close of September, 1882 so that in the 12 months e1 miles of new line were brought into operation.

In weighing cars, grain, coal and other articles, | especially where the transactions are large and the operation of weighing sometimes hurried, many mistakes occur in entering the weights in the scale book. In the or- dinary way of making these entries there is no check by which the ascertained weight can be rectified. The inventor provides the scale beam, which has the ordinary gradua tions, with an additional series of letters and figures. These are entered in the scale book, together with the usual weight entries, and if a mistake has been made in the latter it may at once be detected and rectified by checking off the former. Moreover, a com parison of the entries with the double scale on the scale beam will disclose whether the operator is accurate or careless in the dis charge of his dut
