Heberle, at a meeting of German engineers of the Central Rhenisch district, says Engi neering, a large amount of ore is treated by magnetic dressing and separating at the Friedrichsegen Mine. The ore in question is a mixture of zinc blende and spathic iron Sore, the two minerals being so nearly of the same specific gravity that their separation by ;sual methods cannot be carried out, so that! for the past ‘three years recourse has been Shad to the magnetic process. The material | io be treated comes partly as hand-picked | lumps and partly as a product of hydraulic | dressing of the ores from the mine. The hand-picked portion is in pieces from 40| mm. to 120 mm. (1.6 inches to § inches) diameter, while that from the hydraulic iressing is in bits of 6 mm. (.24 inch) diam- Geter and less. The treatment of this mate rial comes under three heads: 1, the cal- cination of the ore; 2, the electro-magnetic @separation ; and 3, the further hydraulic Mtreatment of a portion of the material so separated. The calcination of the ore is in- tended to convert the carbonate of iron of he spathic ore into the magnetic oxide, | vhich can be acted upon by the magnets. | The lump ore is calcined in tall kilns mixed | vith small coke. Owing to the sulphur con- ained in the ore, the fuel required is very ittle, only about 50 kg. of coke per| tons ore, which is the daily charge or one kiln worked by two men. This cal- ination costs only about 80 pfennige (about | b3 cents) per ton ore. The calcined ore is ‘rushed by stone breakers and rolls to a size | f 5 mm. diameter. The small ore is cal- ‘ined in long horizontal furnaces. This is much dearer and costs 2% marks (58% ents) per ton ore. All the calcined ore, | lafter cooling, passes to the magnetic ap- | paratus through a classifying sieve, which eparates out all above the diameter of 4mm., delivering it back for further crush- ing, while all of less size than 4 mm. passes iown shoots to the magnets. The magnetic ant consists of 16 separate groups of mag- nets, each four forming one apparatus, in @two pairs, one above the other. The upper pair receive the ore as it comes from the classifying sieve and separate it, though not completely, into blende and iron ore. The products of this separation are passed on, each by itself, to one of the lower pair of magnets. The final result of this is blende with quartz, iron ore, and a middle product of both kinds. This middle product is re turned to the apparatus for further treat- ment. The whole of the magnetic ap- paratus is connected with a powerful exhaust, as very much dust is formed during the treatment of the ore. The arrangement of the magnet is as follows; Each sep- arator has four magnets attached to the fixed axis of a _ revolving brass lrum, so that the drum revolves round the outside of the magnets, which re- main always in the same position, close to one side of the drum. The ore is fed automatically down an inclined plane, so as to come in contact with the outside of the drum at the point where the magnets are | fixed on the inside. The magnetic oxide of | iron becomes at once attracted by the mag nets and sticks to the drum, which, revolv- ing in a contrary direction to the downward ore feed, carries the oxide upward till it gets beyond the attraction of the magnets and is thrown down on the other side, while the blende, not being attracted, falls at once to the ground under the feed point. A Gramme dynamo of 1 horse-power supplies enough ‘current for a group of four such irums. The special advantage claimed for this arrangement is that the magnets are protected from all wear and tear and from} dust, heat, &c.; also that there is no neces- sity for interruption of current, nor for any arrangement for scraping the attracted ore from the magnets, as with other apparatus in use in which the magnets are not sur- rounded by adrum. With two such groups f four separators, 24 tons of calcined ore an be treated in 12 hours, giving 7 to 8 tons blende and 16 to 18 tons iron ore. The m ore is not further treated, but the separated blende is subjected to hydraulic iressing, by which it is concentrated and also some lead ore is taken out of it. “Method to Determine the Specitic Gravity of Coke. Dr. W. Thérner gives an account in Stahl nd Eisen of a rapid and simple method he | has adopted for determining the specific | eTavity of coke, and also the relative} volumes of coke substance and pore spaces | in any given sample. No novelty is claimed | for the principles involved in the method, which is, however, recommended as very apid and easy, and, when proper care is taken, quite satisfactory as to accuracy. A fair average sample of the coke is carefully | taken, and then of this sample two separate portions are prepared, one being reduced to fine powder and the other being taken in mall pieces of about 10 mm. (2 inch) diam- eter. The powder may be called No, 1 and tae small pieces No. Equal weights—say, 25 to 50 gram. of each portion—are then | weighed off, and that from No. 2 is placed in | & beaker and covered over with alcohol, benzole or other suitable fluid, the object of which is to completely moisten and permeate the coke as speedily as possible. Alcohol, though not as rapid in its action as 2 benzole | cohol. Ne | York two other fluids, is recommended as quite efficient, cheaper and pleasanter to work The beaker is placed on a water bath, and the alcohol made to boil for a few minutes, after which the beaker is placed aside to cool down to 15°.

Ina few minutes the hight of the fluid in the tube | is read off on the scale as accurately as pos- sible. If a piece of black paper is held be- hind the tube, and all readings are made on the lowest point of the meniscus, Y, cm. can be accurately measured. The weighed sample of powered coke, No. | I, is now carefully introduced into the fluid in the tube by means of a funnel; the fun- nel is cleared of all adherent particles, and after the cork is again inserted the apparatus is gently shaken till all coke powder settles in the fluid. After again cooling the ap | paratus to 15° C., the hight of the column in the tube is read off as before. The difference between the two readings of course gives the volume of the powdered-coke substance, free from pores, and by dividing the weight of | coke used, in gram., by the number of c. cm. displaced, we get the specific gravity. Thus, if we took 25 gram, coke, and we found that aN PITT a bad ARCHITECTURE. — | of the coke would weigh 869.6 kg.

Thus, taking 25 grams. as before, and finding a displacement of 28.75 c. cm. we have 0.87 as specific gravity of coke plus pore space.

For the above tests there are required only two | weighings (exact to 0.01 gram.) and three readings of the tube, which can all be done in half an hour. ar of the actual coke in| I, I885 The Oxidation of Copper heated with free access of air, says a foreign exchange, is generally trans- formed into cupric oxide without passing through the cuprous stage. This reaction occurs at all temperatures between 350 , and that at which the dissociation tension of the oxide formed reaches about the fifth part of the pressure of the atmosphere—i e., the pressure of the oxygen contained in the air. Above this temperature the black oxide formed at first is partially decomposed. About the melting point of gold, the mixture of cupric and cuprous oxide fuses. decomposition ceases when the decreasing tensiou of the oxygen, liberated from the mixture, reaches that of one-fifth of an atmosphere. It is evident that the direct Copper. aa RE \ way vii A jut arnt SS 7 Wore Z Z AFYAZToD 2 Z ty OCHA AM be RGR PRODUCE EXCHANGE, NEW YORK. | oxidation of copper at these high tempera- tures would have the same final results. Inversely, the refrigeration of the oxide, more or less decomposed, in atmospheric air | | effects its reoxidation if the matter is suffi- ciently porous. When determining copper as cupric oxide, it is necessary not to raise it | to a temperature at which it might melt, or even become agglomerated. If the copper is in large excess, as in preparing nitrogen by passing air over copper turnings heated in a tube, there is formed merely cupric oxide if the temperature is sufficiently low. If the middle of the tube is heated more strongly there is formed also cuprous oxide When the oxygen is insufficient in quantity | to saturate all the copper we never obtain an | intimate mixture of the two oxides without fusion. On cooling slowly the red and the black oxides are found distinctly separated. cr Shipbuilding in Great Britain.—The annual returns to the Board of Trade from Scotland and the North of England show that the shipbuilding on the Clyde, the | Tyne and the Wear has been ‘0 per cent The | $2.50 a Lear, Lucludd ng Lostage. single Coptes, Ten Cents. eS less during the present year than during the year 1883. The builders, that the prospects for the future are brighter than at any previous time for several months. The dullness in the marine carry ing trade has had, they sai, one effect that operates to the benefit of the builders. The scantiness of ocean freights has led to keen competition and to a cutting down of rates to such a point that it no longer pays to run any but modern-built ships, which can make their trips in the shortest possible time. The market for such ships is not overstocked owing to the limited production during the past year, and the demand for them is in creasing. The shipping have perceived that the old-time steamers, though | cheaper in their orizinal are more |costly in use, owing to their larger expense }in maintenance, repairs, sailors’ w ages and | coal. Some large firms in London and Liver- pool have condemned whole fleets of these vessels, and are selling them at a loss to coastwise traders. These firms and several transportation companies have given orders for the construction of larger and stronger with modern appliances in ma- chinery and steering gear. The building of these steamers during the next few months gives a prospect of employment to thousands of skilled workmen who are now idle. however, believe merchants cost, vessels, I Iron in Modern Architecture. It is mainly ip city buildings of a business character—buildings which have succeeded demolished structures not suited to present requirements—that the resources of iron for architectural purposes are best illus trated. While iron enters largely into the purely constructive features of these loftier and more substantial erections, it is also made contributory to decorative treatment. None can fail to note the extreme transition that has been experienced from the early -tructures into which iron entered architect urally, many of them having no bigher character than might belong to a bonded warehouse, an iron foundry or an engine factory, to modern buildings, which, despite the use of a material that has sometimes been despised, are both imposing and beauti ful. In the structures into which iron now enters as a facing we witness, ordina rily, carefully-designed constructi: n, with ju dicious decoration, conforming to some pro nounced style, this style coale-cing to some extent with other portions of the facade, in which different materials are Iron has in many respects the advantage of other materials in the facility with which the effect may be changed by new combinations of form. The Stewart iron building, on Broadway, for example, which has the credit of being the largest iron building in the world, and which follows the columnar and arched style of construction, presents, notwithstand ing a monotonous repetition of forms, a some- what stately appearance. Some of the earlier iron business structures had a spider-like lightness of construction which reduced their dignity ; at the same time they answered the purpose of furnishing abundant light to the floors, which is not the case with some of the recent stone and brick edifices Two of the old New York market houses, Clinton and Thompson, are of iron, and succeeded to wooden structures. The new Washington Market, which is of iron, owing to its extended area Offered a fine opportunity for the exhibition of roofwork, dispensing as iron does with much of the pillared support req uisite for wooden roofs The moderate hight of the structure, which sur rounded by an arcade of iron and glass, is not sufficient to allow of any beld and striking eflects. The decorations, apart from the arched windows and entrances, consist of bas relief pane) moldings of flower and fruit, with prujecting heads of animals above. Iron and terra-cotta have beeu hap pily combined in this structure, concerning which we may have more to say at some future time. Iron balustrades for stairways date far back, but at first they were mainly plain bars, with no recommendation but utility, whereas now, made in arabesque and other open patterns, |they add greatly to interior structural | beauty. Architects have turned handsome | balustrade designs to good account in bor | dering successive landings in the spacious and deep welis that furnish interior light to | some of our city buildings. Coated with colo: and picked out with gilt, the designs are some times rich and intricate, like interlaced or namentation ; in others they may be likened to a succession of central! bosses, from which ra diate curved and spiral forms ; they are of a certain arabesqui with graceful curvilinear lines s« slender shafts Much of the ing introduced offices for of partition is of an exceedingly acter without being overc:owded with de tails. No small amount of taste has been developed in the front railings of buildings ; these are in great variety. An excellent feat ure, comporting well with the dignity of mass ive business edifices ich as the Mills and Washington buildings York City, is massive iron gateways treated in true Roman esque style, with highly characteristk pat terns. In the Mills bui especially fine scenic effect is thus secured, the bule, its central steps and arched and pi landing and artistically val brought into view use d is occasionally style, t between n rail purposes rich char i into New n aging treated f ANSONIA BRASS AND COPPER Co., MANUFACTURERS OF PURE COPPER WIRE, MANUFACTURERS OF For Electrical Purposes, Bare and Covered.
