INDEX TO READING MATTER r PAGE 30 Published Vol. XX XV: No. 7. every comparative Efliciencies of Steam and Hydranlice Elevators. 4 correspondent in the February num- 1. of Mechanics, writes: The term hy- iraulic elevators is applied to elevators in which the actual motive-power is furnished 6 a hydraulic motor, while the hydraulic agsure necessary for the operation of the motor is furnished by the natural head of the water. ate . sufficient to operate the motor an artificial head need not be used, but in situations where this is not the case an artificial head, yoduced by pumping water to a reservoir situated some distance above the hydraulic angine, or by pumping water directly into a -he motor, must be taken advantage of. This form of elevator is rapidly coming into favor, jue principally to the more ready adjustment f the system over the ordinary hoisting en- ine, and also due to the fact that it is claimed to be more economical in steam con- sumption than the ‘‘ steam elevator.” In order to fully understand the problem of the comparative efficiencies, we must con- sider first the theoretical efficiency of the hydraulic elevator as compared with the steam elevator. This question can be readily jisposed of, as we find that in practice the hydraulic elevator descends by its own weight, while the steam elevator uses steam | coming down as well as when going up; we therefore would naturally expect the hy- draulie system to be more economical than | the steam. This view is, however, some- what modified by a consideration of the practical view of the case. We find that the efficiency of the hydraulic sys- tem is subject to the following efficiencies f its different members, viz.: The efficiency if the steam end of the pump; the efficiency of the water end of the pump, and also tothe efficiency of the hydraulic cylinder. These apparent efficiencies are still further reduced by the “‘ steam slip” of the pump, as I have called it, which is due to the fact that when | the upper tank is full, or when the maxi-| mum pressure is attained in the pressure tank, the automatic throt- tle-valve, controlled either by a float in the upper or the lower tank, or by a pressure regulator, does not close absolutely tight, and consequently the pump continues its motion slowly. From a number of experi- ments made upon pumps running in this way, I have found that the efli- ciency of the pump end un- der these conditions rarely equals 10 per cent.; or, in wher words, the volume f water actually pumped is but 10 per cent. of the plunger displacement. This 1s due to the slow motion of the pump allowing the leaks, &c., to relieve the pressure gradually, thus never allowing the press- ure to become great enough to lift the dis- charge-valve. Further than tkis, if steam cylin- ler drips are left open the loss due to these is con- siderally augmented. The pump is in operation al- most continually, while the loss in the case of the steam elevator occurs only when the engine is making its periodical motions. The fact that frequently an capable of hoisting 10 or 12 persons is called upon to carry but half that number, or even less, in a trip detracts seriously from the efficiency of an elevator, the hy- draulic elevator being affected more seriously than that worked by steam, because the amount of water used per trip is constant, n0 matter what the load may be, thus merely increasing the speed to the elevator and not effecting a saving. In the steam engine the amount of steam is proportioned | pooont advances in Electrical Science. | by the governor, which, in turn, is regulated by the speed of the elevator. loss by initial condensation of the steam entering a cold cylinder, and also to the heavy loss of power consumed to operate the gearing. The efficiencies of both the hydraulic and steam systems are further re- juced by the fact that the steam end of the pump in one case, the cylinder capacity in the other, is entirely too great for the work, a fact which, every engineer will instantly see, produces a serious loss. This is pur- posely done by the elevater builders, to allow for the variable steam pressure so common in our buildings. I am strongly inclined to the opinion that a hydraulic- elevator system may be rendered as econom- Thursday A third sample, which was a double strand | boats of the line of the by Davip Review Morning WILLIAMS, No. 83 Hardware, Iron Reade Street, New York.

There is a cer tain analogy between the action of the Irish settler in New England who burns up the fences and cuts down all the wood, and, in short, skins the farm, and the action of telegraphic and_ railroad corporations which run a system, but do not add to it as long as subsistence and dividends can be obtained. The American visitor to the London central office, however, can but be amused that a separate room, with in- struction, is provided for those operators who are to learn the reading of messages by sound. In America it was the operators who taught the superintendents that this method of receiving messages was prefer- able to the Morse register system. We learn that the Bell Telephone Company have lately completed a special line between | Boston and New York, and propose to open | telephonic communication between these cities. With the new powerful transmit ters that have been and undobtedly are to be invented, a great increase in the range of | telephony is to be expected.

I Under this head Mr. John Trowbridge number of | writes as follows in a recent | Science : Electrical science has not made great | strides during the year 1884, but in the di- | rection of practical applications it is feeling the powerful aid of business ability and capital. The United States Patent Office is |crowded with applications for patents on various electrical appliances. The scientific investigator must soon make a struggle for the free use of many old and familiar elec- trical appliances which he has known from boyhood, unless he, too, enters the field as an applicant for patents. The tendency of the times is certainly in the direction of ob- ical as a steam system, and trust that the | taining patents in order to prove priority, ideas here thrown out may help to lead to an improvement much needed in this direc- tion. A We have recently seen some samples of even in the direction of pure science. We leave it to the moralist to decide the differ- ence between a copyright for a literary man and a patent for a scientific man.

Perhaps the coming year will bear evidence of this. The Electrical Exposition in Philadelphia showed the great activity in the fields of electric lighting, and | was chiefly interesting as an exhibition of | various types of dynamo-machines. The members of the Electrical Congress, also held in Philapelphia at the time of the Electrical Exposition, were inclined to dissent from the resolutions of the late Paris con- gress in regard to the adoption of 106 em, of mercury, I mm. in section, at the temperature of 0° C., as the legal ohm, since the work of Professor Rowland, it was believed, would give acloser value. Professor Rowland has not yet published, but it is be lieved that results have been obtained which will lead to a revision of the decision of the Paris conference. The members of the con- ference also dissented from the conclusions of the Paris conference upon the adoption of | the platinum standard of light, and a com- mittee of the United States Electrical Con- ference is now engaged upon the study of a suitable standard. The suggestion by Sie- mens to use the light emitted by a square centimeter of platinum at the point of fusion, under the action of a kuown current of | electricity, seems a fruitful one, and the | committee is testing its capabilities. In telegraphy and telephony there is not much that is new to chronicle. It is per- haps a blow to our national pride to learn that we are behind England in the art of telegraphy, and that we are importing certain telegraphic instruments instead of exporting them.

The study of this new method of village communication we leave to the political economist. The system is destined to work great changes in manners and customs. Unfortunately, the storage of electricity, so-called, does not fulfill the extravagant hopes that were excited when Faure’s | battery burst upon the world. It is now found that the Planté battery is more practical than the Faure, and that, un- |der careful methods of forming, it gives better results than the Faure and its various modifications. None of the storage | batteries now in use can be said to be com- mercial successes, for all of them deteriorate |seriously in time. To the scientific inves- |tigator, however, they are extremely use- ful. One having can charge his secondary batteries at his and thus have on tap a _ steady of electricity. To the investigator who has ruined many suits of clothes with acid batteries, and whose hands have almost ceased to be the insignia of gentle birth, the storage battery is already a great boon. Much has been said and written upon the subject of the transmission of power by electricity. It is proposed to try different systems upon a certain portion of the eleva- ted railways of New York. Nothing but an experiment upon a sufficiently large scale, under intelligent, scientific supervision, can determine whether the electrical transmis- sion of power can compete successfully with | the use of the locomotive on public, exposed |highways. There is a future for this system 'in many ways, even if it fails on railways The year, however, has added little to our | knowledge of it.

At present they work successfully ; but time is needed to show that a suitable degree of insulation can be maintained in this frost-afflicted climate The scientific theory of electricity has not received notable accessions during the year The United States Signal Service has estab lished stations for the study of atmospheric electricity at Baltimore and at Cambridge It is believed that electrical observations will give additional data for foretelling the approach of storms. The subject of atmos pheric electricity is still shrouded in mystery, and little more is known than that there is a difference of electrical level between the earth and the air, and that this difference un- dergoes modifications, and that we have meth ods of measuring these modifications. Little progress has been made in our knowledge of the connection between earth currents and the changes in the electrical potential of the air. It is maintained by Mr. Blavier, who has had several experimental tele- graph lines under his direction in France |for the study of earth currents, that changes in the potential of the air cause very small changes in the character of earth currents, and that the latter have a real and separate existence. Lord Rayleigh has been engaged upon a study of the silver voltameter and its ap- plication to the measurement of electrical currents. He finds that one ampére deposits 4 grams of silver per hour, and a sufficient amount can therefore be obtained for accurate weighing in 15 minutes. Pure nitrate or chlorate of silver gives the best results. Beetz has proposed a new form of Daniell cell, of great internal resistance. Fine alabaster plaster-of-paris is mixed with concentrated sulphate-of-copper solution, and the copper electrode is tixed in this at one end of a glass tube; the rest of the tube is filled with concentrated sulphate of zinc and plaster of-paris, and the zinc electrode is also embedded in this. The ends of the tube are filled with paraffine. This form of cell has been tried at the Jefferson Physical Laboratory of Harvard University, and has been found an excallent substi tute for the water cell of zine and copper for charg- ing electrometers. The lull in the progress of theoretical electricity is probably the precursor of important additions to our knowledge, for many in- vestigators are at work, both at home and abroad, testing the new electro- dynamic theory of light, and adding to our know- ledge of magnetism. The equipment of physical laboratorics in America, which has been one of the features of the year at Cambridge as well as elsewhere in America, bids us hope for much system- atic study of the science of electricity and physical science in general, ———— - Probably few things at the New Orleans show will be found more geverally interesting than the ma- chinery department.

The steam, being gathered in this drum, is sup plied to the engines through a riveted main pipe 26 inches in diameter. This msin has out-valves at various points connected with small pipes which feed steam to the several engines. Another, but smaller, pipe leads from this main to the right and Jeft—that to | the left carrying steam to the cold-storage engine and pumping machinery, while the pipe to the right. after traversing the southern half of main building, crosses Magazine street and gives steam to ma- chinery in the iron cotton-mill building and the sawmill annex. There is fully '% mile of this steam-pipe, and is all supported on roller brackets, so that it may have full play to move forward or to retract when expanded or contracted, The boilers have a steaming capacity equal to 6000 horse-power, which is supplied to 20 engines of various sizes It is a peculiar fact that all the engines thus far erected, and some of them are very large, are of the horizontal type. about I In Australian and neighboring British col onies there is much exultation over the fact that New Guinea has been formally annexed -that is to say, the southern coast from the Dutch boundary to the East Cape has been declared under a British protectorate and a governor has been formally but this step does not at present open up the country to trade and commerce installed, 2 THE AGE.
