34. ES ID the her her r3.) v. The Iron Age atin A Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal Trades. {Neen TO Published every Thursday Morning by Davin WixuiaMs, No. 83 Reade Street, New York. Entered at the Post Office, New York, as Second-Class Matter. Vol. XXXVI: No. A Large Slotting Machine. In order to meet the increasing demand for ponderous and heavy machine tools, the Hewes & Phillips Iron Works, of Newark, \. J., have designed a series of especially adapted for heavy forge, marine ind railway equipment shops, the slotting | machine illustrated in the cut being one of that number. The machine shown will take a piece of work 54 inches high from the table, and will swing 12 feet diameter from the center of the tool to the face of the up- right. The cutter-bar is moved by a V rack and pinion of steel, driven by their well- known worm-gearing device. The machine is driven by 1%-inch wide belts, separately shifted, having a speed of 130 to 1 of the tool, The weight of the bar is overbalanced, so that any backlash of gearing is avoided, the strain being always in the same direc- | tion. To avoid wear of the accurately wrought surfaces of the bar and its attend- ant gibs, it is lubricated by an oil-cup on top of the bar, which oils the eight surfaces con- tinuously, and in such a manner as to en- tirely exzlude dirt and grit. The stops or dogs for working the feed shifting devices are attached to the tool-bar, sliding in a dovetailed groove in the center of its face, their size and weight necessitating their being worked by a rack and pinion on the side of the cutting-bar. The feed is en- tirely independent of the shifting device, although worked from opposite ends of the same stop. The feed always takes place on the upper end of the stroke, and requires a movement of only 3 inches of the bar. This is not an easy problem when the load to be moved may be 20 tons. The cutter-bar guide has a vertical adjustment of 30° to accommodate work of different hight. This is accomplished by means of two screws and cross-shaft, within convenient working dis- tance of the floor. The table, which is cir cular and pierced with T-slots, has power movements in six directions, which can be changed at will without stopping the cut, every movement of the feeding or shipping devices being within easy reach. The tool- holders for both inside and outside work are self-relieving on the upper stroke, avoiding the necessity of dragging the cutting edge of the tool over the work. When working a cut not requiring the circular motion, the table can be clamped fast and solid at the four corners of the cross-slide, securing it against the possibility of a change of auger, and relieving the circular gibbed surface en- tirely from the strain of the cut. The belt- slipper can be worked by hand from a lever on the side of the machine in full view of the cutting tool, making it especially convenient in starting a cut or setting a tool, the man operating the machine having a full view of every movement. The frame of the machine isin two pieces bolted together on the plane of the carriage. The upper frame is under- vibbed to the lower piece, and steel keys are driven in the back of the gib, so that in order to spring this joint it would have to tear the tongue of metal 6 inches thick ex- tending entirely across the face of the upper frame. The sliding surfaces of the car- riages and tool-bar are all at right angles to each other, so that the pressures on all sur- faces are normal to those surfaces. I Decisions on Re-Issued Patents. A decision was rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington, on the 14th inst., in the patent case of Alex- ander Cochrane and others, appellants, vs. the Badische Anilin and Soda Fabrik. peal from the Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York. This was a suit in equity brought by the Badische Anilin and Soda Fabrik, a corporation organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Baden, iainst Alexander Cochrane and others, for he alleged infringement of a reissued patent ranted April 14, 1871, to Charles Graebe, f Frankfort-on-the-Main, and Charles Lieb- ermann, of Berlin, for ** an improvement in lyes or coloring matter from anthracine.” rhe court holds that if the claim of the pat- ‘nt is construed so broadly as to cover the | lefendant’s article, it is wider in its scope | than the original actual invention of the patentees, and wider than anything indi- ated in the specifications of the original atent. Ifthe claim is construed so as to ver only the product which the process | lescribed in it will produce, it is not shown that the defendants’ article is that product or can be practically produced by that pro- ess. The decree of the Circuit Court is herefore reversed and the case remanded, | vith directions to dismiss the bill of com- | laint. Opinion by Justice Blatchford. The court also rendered a decision in the itent case of the Turner & Seymour Man- ‘facturing Company, appellant, vs. the Dover rtamping Company. Appeal from the Cir- ut Court for the District of Connecticut. ‘his was a suit brought by the Dover Com- ‘ny against the Turner & Seymour Com- ny, for alleged infringement of a reissued ‘tent on an improved form of egg-beater. ‘he court holds that the reissued patent is id because its claims are broader than hose of the original patent, and were made roader simply to maintain a monopoly vhich was desired, but which the claims of h€ original patent did not secure. The de- ree of the Circuit Court is reversed and ® cause remanded, with directiuns to dis- 88 the bill, Opinion by Justice Matthe ws. tools | |land in the Malay Peninsula. |are allowed for making selections of ae r¥. New York, Th In these cases, says the New York Times, the court thus reaffirmed a principle the establishment of which two or three years ago encouraged the farmers of the West and the manufacturers who represented them to continue their fight against the owners of the broad reissued patents which | were said to cover all kinds of driven-tube | wells and wire fences. They received addi- tional encouragement when Judges Shiras and Love, of the Circuit Court, decided in Iowa, one year ago, that the driven-well patents were invalid because they were re- | issues broader than the originals, and when | Judges McCrary, Love and Treat held, in St. | Louis, not long afterward, that the barbed wire patents were void for the same reason | If it be true that the reissues in these impor ' tant cases are broader than the originals, the final decisions of the Supreme Court must be against the owners of the patents, and hun- | dreds of thousands of farmers who have been Ap- | 3h SS LARGE SLOTTING MACHINE, led by their disagreeable experience to attack the entire system of patent laws will score a victory. - — Selangor Tin-Mining Company.— The Shanghai papers contain reports of the first | annual meeting of the Selangor Tin-Mining | Company, of Shanghai, lately held in Shang | hai. The company was formed in August, | 1882, to work a concession of 1000 acres of Three years | blocks of land of 250 acres each, and hith- erto the directors appear to have been largely | occupied in testing the metallic richness of | the land, by boring and in other ways, be- fore making the final selections.

Tin mining has been carried on in Selangor by the Chi- nese for many years, and upward of 20,000 men are engaged in the industry. It is claimed that great advantages exist in the Malay Peninsula as compared with Australia, as well as Cornwall, both as regards supply of metal and the cost of labor. Tin, again, is considered useful as ballast, especially for ships with light cargoes, such as tea. The rate of freight from Singapore to London is said to be about $2.50 per ton. -- —————— The Legal-Tender Decision. With a comprehensive view of the re- quirements of the case, at the request of bankers and professional men of New York, Senator Kiernan has introduced concurrent resolutions reciting that the Legislature of this State regards with surprise and alarm the recent legal-tender decision, and re- THE HEWES & PHILLIPS solving that a convention of the States should be held at the earliest possible date to suggest amendments to the Federal Con- | stitution to remedy the dangerous tendencies } toward the usurpation of power. The fol- lowing is the full text of the resolutions : PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION. Whereas, The Supreme Court of the United States, in a decision bearing date of March 3, 1884, in what is commonly known as ‘The Legal-Tender Case,” declares that Congress possesses a ‘‘ sovereign” power to constitute paper money a legal tender in the payment of debts ; and Whereas, That court declares, in said de- cision, that Congress is the sole authority to determine what laws are ‘‘ proper and neces- | sary” for giving effect to certain pear broad and general purposes described in the Con- stitution of the United States, as “ to pro- vide for the common defense and general |which it was the intention of the Federal ursday, April 24, 1884. no authority to sit in judgment upon the acts of Congress done or made in pursuance of ‘the aforementioned general purposes, thereby making Congress irresponsible to the supreme judiciary of the land in respect to a wide range of legislation of vital im portance to the material interests and the political rights of the people; be it there fore Resolved, 1. That the Legislature of the State of New York hereby declares that it regards said decision of the Supreme Court with surprise and alarm: 1. Because it con- stitutes other than gold and silver a legal tender, and, in so doing, violates the stability and the force of contracts which the Consti tution intended to sacredly protect. 2. Be cause it involves a large surrender of the | original powers of the Supreme Court as final arbiter on the constitutionality of laws enacted by Congress; and 3. Because, in being thus exempted from judicial check, | > S4.50 a Year, Including Fostage. Séngle Copies, Ten Cents. | ever reached year, when of. Only before was in the previous 2,500,000 acres were disposed once before did the sales reach 9,000,000 acres, so it will be seen that the sales of last year were entirely unprece dented. The most of the increase was in Dakota, where 6,689,595 acres were disposed of. The States of Nebraska, Minnesota and | Oregon rank next in the list of big land sales, while the Territory of Washington shows sales of nearly 1,000,000 acres. The greater proportion of these land transac tions, it will be seen, are in the States and rerritories adjacent to the Northern Pacific Railroad, and it is probable that much of the activity in this kind of property is due to the completion of that important line. AI South American lIron-Making. Mr. Thomas Hickey, of Pittsburgh, has | recently returned from South America, | where he was employed by the Government }of Colombia in helping to establish a rolling mill in that country. He was one of six men |for whom Mr. Martin, secretary of the | Amalgamated Association, made a contract | with the Colombian Government. The con- tract was for three years, the men to be |paid so much per year, and also a per- |centage on the tonnage of iron produced. |Mr. Hickey, previous to his going South, j had been employed as a puddler in Shoen- berger’s mill. He quit Pittsburgh in the |spring of 1880, leaving behind a wife and | family, to lend his knowledge of the iron | business to a country where blast and pud- dling furnaces were unknown. The attempt }of the Colombian Government to establish a rolling mill was the first in the history }of South America. Mr. Hickey states that |large quantities of excellent ore are to be | found in that country, and it is only a ques- }tion of a short time until the business of | irom-making will be followed with profit. | The mill at which Mr. Hickey was em- | ployed and helped to establish is located at | Samaca, in the middle of a large iron ore | district. | The Government is exceedingly anxious to manufacture railroad iron in order to extend the railroad facilities in that country. Already a blast furnace and pud- dling furnaces have been started with a train of small rolls. A few English operatives are also employed by the Government, and the work of completing the mill, in order to manufacture all kinds of iron, is being pushed as rapidly as possible. What is most | needed there, says Mr. Hickey, is a prac- tical chemist who understands mixing, This would enable them to get along faster and with more certainty of success, as that knowledge is not possessed by Operatives. a The Engineer states that the world’s aver- | s | authorities for a further reduction of | contained age product of sulphur is about 280,000 tons, of an average value of 109.20 lire per ton = 30,793,000 lire, or over £1,200,000. Of this total, Sicily produces 242,000 tons. There is an export duty of 11 lire per ton on sulphur, and the average export is 216,000 tons. The Sicilian sulphur is mostly ex ported raw, as it comes from the kilns. It is of seven qualities, the values varying from 101 to 115 lire per ton Except in the better-worked ‘‘ solfare,” the separation of the sulphur from the earths in which it is is still conducted in Sicily by means of kilns (calcuroni), which do not re quire any additional fuel, but which entail | the consumption and loss of about one-third |of the sulphur itself |are employed in the Sicilian About 18,000 hands = solfare,”’ of whom about 14,000 work in the interior of the mines, including those employed in the transport of the ore to the surface. The sulphur in many mines is still carried to the surface on the backs of boys called ‘‘ carusi,”’ of whom there are about 3500. Arrangements have been made by the British Board of Trade and the lighthouse IU pel in the rate for light duties now levied The effect of this reduction, on the 1st cent on shipping. which was to go into operation |}inst., will be to increase the present abate | ment from 60 per cent. vw 70 per cent. of the amount which was leviable for light dues when the control of the Mercantile Marine } Fund was first placed in the hands of the Board IRON WORKS, NEWARK, N.

Resolved, 2. That, in view of these revolu- tionary tendencies of said decision, and of the peril in which the political rights of the citizen and the reserved rights of the States are thereby placed, we do hereby declare it to be the conviction ef the Senate and Assembly of this State that a convention of the several States of the Union should be held, at the earliest convenient opportunity, to consider what amendments to the Consti tution of the United States may be properly adopted to remedy these dangerous tenden cies toward the perversion and usurpation of power. - ec - The sales of Government land during the have been ordered, and the directors hope to | late commerce among the several States ;” | past year, says the Bulletin, were by far the enter the market with a supply of tin early | and this year.

The pontoons by means of which the bridge was floated to its new posi tion consisted of four 80-ton barges, braced together so as to form one solid structure 64 feet in width, and were placed in position soon after the tide commenced to rise At 6 o'clock a. m the top of the staves, which was 24 feet above the water, touched the under part of the bridge, and in a quarter of an hour later both ends rose from their foundations. When the tide had risen four feet the stage and bridge were floated to the new when at 8.30 the girders dropped on to their beds been position, ¥ ~ Sr TS Qe.
