Macinlay presented before the tritish Royal United Service Institution ites on the use of mild steel for naval and litary purposes. He claimed that Great ‘ritain was far ahead of all other countries he production, both in quantity and qual- In America, where there are great natural advantages for the production of el, it has not been applied to gunnery ianufacture. The amount of steel used for ival and military purposes bears only a small proportion to that used for ordinary ndustries, and this ratio varies greatly in liferent countries, being probably highest n Russia and lowest in the United States. \ great part of the steel for warlike uses an only be produced by special plant on a ‘olossal scale, and.the number of factories in the world where the heaviest guns and urmor can be produced is thus necessarily imited. The steel for ordnance should be f such quality as to possess a considerable elastic limit, so that permanent deformation r enlargement of the bore does not take place to any appreciable extent, and most important requisites are uniformity and trustworthiness. Its uncertainty is always urged as a reason for its non-adoption in the service as long as wrought iron is used in manufacture ; but it appears that reliability and uniformity are now being attained, though only by most unceasing and intelli- vent care in all processes of manufacture. He then described in detail the process of the manufacture of steel guns of the heaviest caliber. He stated: ‘‘ The steel for the 110- ton guns is being made by Whitworth and Cammell, and the forgings will be handed wer to the Elswick Ordnance Company, | who will machine them and build up the | guns. In a few month's time Whitworth’s | fine establishment will have all the tools | necessary for completing the heaviest guns, ind Elswick will probably have the plant for | casting and forging the heaviest ingots ; the country will then sess two complete establishments te supplement the Royal Gun Factories.” He next illustrated the applica- tion of mild steel to the manufacture of small arms for the infantry of that country and for the manufacture of gun carriages and projectiles. in regard to the manufacture of steel pro- ectiles, he said that ‘‘ the metal has been ap- lied in this direction with great success, but the expense is considerable, The steel common shells can be made with thinner walls than the cast iron, and a larger charge an be inserted. With regard to armor- piercing projectiles, some few years ago ex- periments were made at Shoeburyness to determine the best material of which they should be made, and also the most effective form of head and other points. The general result was that forged steel from Sir. J. Whitworth « Co. is decidedly the best, but at the same time it is very expensive. Since then, however, conditions have tered, and not only is the striking velocity of modern projectiles often onsiderably above 1500 f.s., but the steel and compound armor of ships now being made is harder than the wrought-iron plates which were for- merly employed, Consequently the projectiles break up, and it cannot said that the present shells are \ite satisfactory. Careful experi- uents are needed to find out the est methods to pursue, and doub- tless, if sufficient money were granted, ir arsenal and manufacturers can produce what is wanted. The latter, »wever, are unwilling to make a few shells, as it takes considerable trou- ble and expense to produce the pat- terns desired, and it is not worth their while unless a large number s ordered. On the other hand, it is f no use to obtain a large quantity shells unless they fulfill the con- itions 1equired. Itis to be hoped that the subject of steel armor-pierc- ng projectiles for the heaviest guns ill be thoroughly gone into, and the best material for the purpose em- ployed.” On the subject of armor he dwelt upon the qualities of compound armor and its manufacture, and gave information as to the production of this material by Russia, Germany and France. He also gave a descrip- tion of the construction of other war- like stores, and many specimens of these were presented on the floor of the theater, as well as interesting experiments showing the strength of the metal. o'4 : ae = Coal in Indiana.—The report of the State mine inspector of Indiana for the year 1884, just finished, contains estimated statistics of the coal industry of the State, | including all the mines, the number of per- sons employed in and about the mines during the year, a brief description of the labors of the mine inspector, a short sketch of the new | coal fields of the State, a list of the fatal accidents during the year, and also recom- mendations for the improvement of the Min- ing law, including a copy of the law goveru- ing the workings of the coal mines in In-| diana, and such other matters in connection | with mines and mining as he deemed im- portant.

There were nine fatal accidents during the last year in the coal mines of Indiana. The average number of persons employed in 1834 was 5716. The number of tons of coal mined to each life lost is 251,111, or one life lost to every 635} persons employed. The year previous the number of lives lost was been an ordinary January day, of 37 per ; cent., or over 35,000,000 feet. The price | being 3,/ per 1000 feet, the public had to pay | this one company £5250 extra on account of the fog. Nine thousand five hundred tons of | coal were carbonized during the 24 hours to produce the 96,000,000 feet, the largest quantity we have ever sent out in one day.” | I — The Colby Boiler. rhe engravings below show perspective view and plan of what is known as the Colby circulating non-explosive boiler, built by the Colby Circulating Boiler Company, 114 and 116 North Market street, Chicago, Ill.

The falling off in coal production in 1884 was caused by the strike in Clay County during the busy season of the year. —— The tunnel under the Mersey, which is 1300 yerds from quay to quay, is now arched in, and the laying of tbe railway tracks will soon be begun The tunnel connects the Central Station, Liverpool, with the London | and North Western and Great Western joint station at Birkenhead. = rr Under the title of ‘‘ The Cost of a Foe,” the boiler is one of the water-tube type, there being no shell, all the steam and water being confined in tubes, a float chamber and mud drum. The gases, after issuing from the combustion chamber, pass through a superheating compartment, the tubes ina | which supply the necessary steam space.

Makins, Governor of the Gas | Light and Coke Company, writes to the Lon- | don Times, under date of January 24: ‘* Perhaps your readers may be interested to read the experience of the Gas Light and Coke Company on the occasion of last Tues- day’s fog...

This drum separates all sediment contained in the water, which, passing to the lower division of the chamber, is blown out in the usual manner, Fig. 1 clearly shows the manner in which the water circulates through the boiler. There is an outside float chamber containing a large float suffi- ciently heavy to act promptly on the regu- lating-valve of the feed pump, and pre- cluding the possibility of low water.

For burning soft coal, the manu- electrolysis which will be welcomed by those who are seeking information on a subject little discussed in metallurgical journals : The refining of copper occupies several works in England and on the Continent. Elkington, the inventor of practical electro silvering and gilding, was the first to refine copper by electrolytic means. He employed alternate-current machines in which the cur- rent was rectified to one direction by a com- | mutator, as distinguished from the collector of more modern continuous current ma- chines. His patents bear the date of 1866, and are very clear, although there is no | definite reference to the nature of the baths |nor of the method of employing electricity. For 10 years the electrolytic refining of |copper has been practiced by the North German Refinery, at Hamburg; by Messrs. |(Eschger and Mesdach, at Biache; by the | Royal Foundries at Oker, in Saxony ; by the |Maison Lyon-Allemand, at Paris; by M. | André, at Frankfort; by Messrs. Hilarion- at the Moabite Works, near Berlin; and by the Elkingtons, at | fined coppers have not the same high con ductivity, because this conductivity depends on the nature of the metal and on the care ful conduct of the operation. That copper | at the present moment possessing the highest reputation in this respect is manufactured under the direction of Dr. Wohiwill, by the North Germany Refinery, at Hamburg Entrance for inspection of ‘these works is strictly denied to the general public, and it is not possible to obtain details as to the processes. The daily production of these works is about 244 tons—English—of chem- ically pure copper, and the copper treated contains very frequently precious metals that are recovered from the baths. In 1880 the return of fine gold from the Hamburg | works was as much as 1 ton—English—a | veritable gold mine. The current for this deposition is obtained from six Gramme machines—No, 1 type—and by a_ special machine constructed for these works. This latter machine has two collectors and four brushes, and each collector has 20 segments. The convolutions of the coils of the armature are formed each of seven bands of copper, 10 mm., or .4 inch wide by about \% inch |thick, There are 40 coils of this dimension, corresponding to the 40 sections or segments of the two collectors, so arranged that each convolution is formed by two identical half- | turns, juxtaposed and soldered at their ends | Lo a piece radiating from one of the sections of the double collector. The total resistance of this Gramme ring is .ooog ohm., and coupled in parallel, .ooo1 ohm. The speed of rotation of the armature of this machine is 500 revolutions a minute, and at this speed the electro-motive force is equal to 8 volts when the coils are connected in series, and to 4 volts when connected par- allel. ‘There are eight electro-magnets, each 16.5 inches long, with cores of 434 inches in diameter. On each core is wound, 32 times round, a sheet of copper, of width equal to the length of the electromagnet, and .04>5 ‘inch thick. The resistance of the eight | magnets in single series is .00142 ohm, and grouped in double series, .oo0o28 ohm; so that the total resistance of the machine is |.00038 ohm or .oo182 ohm, as it is ar- |ranged parallel or in series. ‘The total | weight of copper is 1620 pounds, and of the machine about 49 cwt. Its normal output of current is 3000 ampéres for 4 volts and 1500 ampéres for 8 volts electro motive force, corresponding to 12,000 2 watts, or 7.4 watts per pound of cop- } per—a very high efficiency. The cur rent .generated by this machine is led to the baths or vats in which the copper is deposited. The process of deposition is identical in principle in all of the works, It consists in employing as an anode the crude metal to be purified, the refined metal being re- » ceived by the cathode. The bath of liquid in which the anode and cathode are immersed is usually a solution of sulphate of copper. It is needless to enter here upon the reactions, which are of the simplest character, described in any text-book, At the Hamburg works there are 40 baths, arranged in two series of 20. The surface exposed in each bath of soluble anode is nearly 325 square feet, or a total surface of 13,000 square feet in the whole of the baths. The distance between the anodes and cathodes in the bath is about 2 inches. The cop per is deposited to a thickness on the cathode of about ,’. inch, and at the rate in all the baths of 67 pounds an hour, or 1760 pounds a day, the ma- chine working night and day. This rate of output of metal might appear small, but on reflection its true value is apparent ; the product is pure, and the production is so constant that the machine has been working night and day for nine years. The motive power absorbed is about 16-horse power, or a consumption per pound of pure copper produced of .4-horse power per hour 3esides this plant the same works employ two other series of baths, to the number of 120, connected in succession Each bath has anodes that expose about 160 square feet of surface, the whole of the series of 120 baths having a resistance of 0.1 ohm. The current is furnished by two No. | Gramme machines, connected with each other in series, of 300 ampéres deliveries at 27 volts. The quantity of copper put down is about 2000 pounds per day of 24 hours, at an expenditure of 12-horse power, or about } horse power per pound of copper per hour ' Dr. Wohlwill has specially designed his baths with the object of economy of motive power, and from long experience has been led to prefer work with large surfaces of cathode, and to have on these only thin de- posits of copper. In the first installation mentioned the rate of deposit is only about .005 pound per square foot per hour, or only 00012 inch per hour in thickness. In the other installations this deposit bas been still further reduced, and, as we have seen, with (Continued on 7 ge ee ee ee ili 2 4] AP? Os FZ ~ 2 - ce. 2 BERD.
