With this greatly augmented product the life of furnace linings has been diminished, and recourse has been had to various cooling devices for prolong- ing the life of such linings. The object of this paper is to call the atten- . tion of the profession to an arrange- ment recently patented by the writer. The common course of projecting water against the exterior of the brickwork of a furnace has been in a large measure abandoned by our most progressive managers All have recognized the danger of this pro- ceeding, especially when applied to the crucible of a furnace below the line of the tuyeres. Cast-iron water- jackets, with wrought-iron pipes for circulating the cooling water, have replaced the cruder methods. In iron smelting the use of such jackets has been confined to the crucible and the space around the tuyeres, and it i has been the custom to support the jackets on the brickwork of the fur- nace. But the erosion of the brick- work below tuyere ets allows them to sag, and often displaces the align- - 5 ment of the tu and leads to other XK Vee So annoyances, principle of construc- tion by the writer to remedy this and other evils is to use a thin fire-brick lining (not over 9 inches) from the tuyeres up to the bosh, er to back this lining with wrought iron or steel 8.) water-jackets hung from the mantel-ring, and thus to the whole weight of the furnace and its filling upon the supporting om pillars. The crucible proper is lined with three or four thicknesses of fire-brick on the sides, and not less than 48 inches in the bot- tom. It is supported on independent pillars, and is practically an independent structure. even be It cou on wheels and made removable were any adequate advan- tap to gee such an ment. reference to Fig, 1, a set-off in the lin- ing will be seen below ee, by reason of its i é g F ™ " ad TT fa La — number of heat-units must be carried off. The smelting process, however, goes on much more uniformly in a water-jacket, which preserves the shape originally given to the interior, than in a furnace with thick walls cut into irregular shape by the heated 300,000 tons over that of 1881. The amount and stern respectively. This 3-inch armo: of coal exported to the United States was 102,755 tons, being an increase of 3453 tons over the exports of 1882. The largest ship- ments are to Quebec. New Brunswick is the market next in importance, while con- siderable quantities of coal also go to New- stock and cinder. Thus an actual saving of | foundland, Prince Edward Island and the fuel may ensue. The principle of construc- tion described can be readily applied to many existing furnaces by raising them bodily and replacing the old-fashioned short pillars under the mantel-ring with long wrought-iron ones. AY (ee Fo SSSR GS arrr Ts rs ~ tT! - mT in West Indies. It is said that $1,500,000 were paid out by several coal-mining companies of Nova Scotia last year, and that altogether the number of persons employed in and about the mines and in transporting coal by land and sea is about 10,000. The produc- tion of iron last year in Nova Scotia was 52,410 tons, an increase of 10,000 tons over the previous year. — Brazil’s New War Ship. An inspection has just taken place, says the London Times, of what has been publicly pronounced on high authority to be one of the most valuable additions to the armor-clad vessels of the world that can be imagined. This is the Riachuelo, Brazilian armor-clad turret ship, which may be taken as being the most perfect fighting ship afloat. The Riachuelo is a twin-screw ship of 6000 tons displacement and 6000 horse-power, and she possesses in speed, coal endurance (or the capability of steaming without recoaling), and the arrangement and range of fire of her guns, special advantages which, we believe, have not been previously attained in com- bination in any other ship. She is 305 feet long, 52 feet extreme on water line and 30 feet extreme depth, her displacement tonnage being 5700 tons at load line. Her draft of water at load line, with 400 tons of coal in her bunkers, is 1g feet 6 inches. Her estimated speed, with 872 tons of dead weight on board, is 15 knots an hour, but on her official trial she attained a s of 16% knots with a natural draft, and 163 knots with a forced draft. She is protected by armor It inches and 10 inches thick, re- spectively, and her armament consists of four g-inch 20-ton breech-loading rifled guns 3% eeee0 93839 surrounding country.

Coal Mining in Nova Scotia.—The amount of coal raised in the Nova Scotia mines in 1883, according to the returns in the inspector of mines’ office, was 1,422,553 gross tons, being an increase of 56,000 tons over the production of 1882, and of nearly WATER-JACKETED SMELTING FURNACES. in two revolving turrets, and six 6-inch breech-loaders, besides 15 Nordenfeldt ma- chine guns. She also carries Whitehead torvedoes. Looking a little into the details of her con- struction we may observe that her hull is built entirely of Siemens Martin steel, and that her armor is compound or steel-faced, and consists of a belt 250 feet long and 11 inches thick admidships, where it protects engines, boilers and magazines. It is then reduced to 10 inches thick, while for a depth of 4 feet below water line the armor is artly 10 inches and partly 7 inches thick. eyond the 250 feet of side armor, at both ends inclined armor 3 inches thick is placed internally at an angle of 15°, and reaching from the top of the side armor to the stem is so arranged that it measures and equals 10 inches of vertical armor if struck in a hori- zontal position. The inclined armor is use- ful for supporting and giving additional strength to the ram forward,, while aft it protects the rudder-head, tiller and steering gear. A horizontal deck of 2-inch steel armor runs through the ship and joins the inclined armor at each end. On this are two oval breastworks built up cf plates and angles and protected by 10-inch armor plates and teak backing. Within the breastworks are two revolving turrets similarly built up and protected, and in each of these are two of the 20-ton guns. A very important feature in connection with these breastworks is that they are en echélon, and are so carried out as to enable the guns in each turret to com- mand an unbroken fire for 180° on their own side of the vessel; and 50° on the opposite side. Thus the whole four guns can brought to bear ahead or astern, while an all-round fire can be always maintained with two guns, and all four of them can be used for broadside firing on either side of the ship. The gun are loaded by hydraulic ma- chinery, and the turrets are revolved by similar means, The six 70-pounder guns are placed on the upper deck, while of the 15 Nordenfelt machine guns five are for use in the mast tops and the remainder are placed on pedestals so as to keep off torpedo boats. The torpedo guns are arranged to fire from five ports, four broadside and one right aft. The engines of the Riachuelo are of 6000 horse-power indicated, and of the vertical twin-screw type. Each set of engines has one high-pressure cylinder of 52 inches diameter placed between two low-pressure cylinders, each 74 inches diameter, with a 3-foot stroke, and making from 80 to go revolutions per minute. Steam is supplied from 10 boilers working at go-pound press- ure, and containing a total heating surface of 19,400 square feet. Although designed to give, when working at her full power of 6000 horses, a speed of 15 knots an hour and to have at that speed a coal endurance for five days’ working, she developed on ber trials a 15-knot speed with only 4500 horse-power. Hence at that speed she can run a distance of 4500 miles without recoaling. In other words, the coal supply of 800 tons is suffi- cient for 12 days’ steaming at 15 knots an hour. The meas- ured mile speed was equally in excess of the contract re- quirement, as already stated, as was also the horse-power developed. The maneuvring powers of the vessel were tested in many ways, and were found: be highly satisfactory. The Riachuelo fitted with steam steering gear, and should this break down she can be steered b hand-power. The berths of the admiral, captain and ofticers are comfortably arranged and tastefully furnished and decorated, and the ship is lighted throughout by Swan glow lamps of 20 candle-power each, taking the current from three Siemens dynamos, the electrical machinery and appliances having been — and fitted by Messrs. Siemens Bros. he vessel as inspected was fully equi for sea, and after the inspection the visitors were entertained at luncheon in the officers’ mess-room. * aR Watch-making in Switzerland.—From a mr by the British Secretary of Legation at ne, it a rs that the business of watch-making dates back from the year 1587, taking its rive in Geneva, and gradu- ally spreading north and east to the neigh- boring cantons of Neuchatel, Berne and Vaud. There appears to be an absence of reliable statistical information on the subject of watch-making in Switzerland, but from calculations which were made in 1866 as to the number of workmen employed and the watches turned out it appeared that in the canton of Neuchatel there were 13,706 work- men, turning out yearly nearly 1,000,000 watches, valued at 50,000,000 francs ; in the Jura Vaudois, 2700 workmen ; in the rest of this canton there were 5000 workmen en- gaged in this manufacture and in that of musical-boxes ; in Berne, about 1300 artif- icers, producing watches valued at 30,000,- coo francs, At the present day it is esti- mated that the total annual production of watches in Switzerland exceeds 1,(00,- 000, with an aggregate value of 88,000,- ooo francs, the total number of work- men employed averaging 40,000. The total exportation of watches in 1882 was 154,500 kg. (339,900 1b), or 25,300 more than in 1881, while 46,400 kg. were imported ; the latter, however, were chiefly articles in the rough, intended to be finished and re-exported. a - The gauge in India controversy, says the Engineer, of London, is opening up a burning topic, and the battle of the gauges will have to be fought again. There are no less than five railway gauges in India—the 5 feet 6 inches, or broad gauge ; the 3 feet 3 inches, or meter gauge; the 4 feet, used on the Azimganj Railway ; the 2 feet 6 inches gauge of the Gaekwar of Baroda’s line, and the 2 feet, or military gauge, of the Himalayan Railway. Practically the contest now lies between the broad and meter gauges. What is now de- sired is uniformity, as the present breaks of gauge and consequent shifting of goods add considerably to the cost of transport, though Indian railways now pay. a m — id a : a ee ee ee ee ABE A eh Bal kn (BT a a ®t : | “3 THE IRON AGE.

He requires all the boys, who are admitted to the works at 14 ‘*o attend an evening school, and also classes either in vocal or in- strumental music. At their other establish- ments they have schools in connection with the works, but here their young men in the advanced subjects attend the evening classes in the town of Liége. M. de Singay consid- ers that intelligence is of the highest impor- tance in every department of the works. He does not lay down any hard-and-fast line as to the studies that his workmen shall engage in. “‘I am not prepared to say,” he re- marked, ‘‘that attendance at "the night schools makes the youths more skilled work- men, but it trains them to habits of thought and reflection; it keeps them from worse laces and tends to make them better men.” e ordinary workmen have not received any special education qualifying them for the posts which they occupy. From 12 to 15 of the men attend the School of Mines, and a number of them attend the evening classes of the University and School of Art at Liége. The director assured us that mathematics and mechanical science are admirably taught at Liége. rr New Engineering Schemes in the Old World.—Two gigantic engineering schemes force themselves upon public attention this morning, says the Pall Mall Guzette for July i MANUFACTURERS , CHARCOAL FACING LEAD FACING ona ~y eu SE cancase mee SS | £.
