It is, superior to iron in general ductility, but this is a quality of which it has sometimes been found deficient, causing a lack of implicit confidence. Most of the mistrust, however, | has been the result of want of knowledge | of the material and of the methods of its successful manipulation. Some brands of steel will in general. weld like iron, while other brands will break like cast iron under the hammer, and cannot be reliably welded. Notwithstanding the defects which have been from time to time | found, no serious accident has yet occured with a steel boiler, nor anything sufficiently | detrimental to check the use of steel. It cannot yet definitely be said what deteriorat- ing effect long service may have on steel boilers as compared with those of iron, but from experiments quoted it may be inferred that it would be less. Steel rivets are now | extensively employed in boiler construction, and with increasing favor. They should be heated in furnaces with an even temperature. With care and the improve- ment of the material, there is no doubt steel riveting will become general. It is desirable | that not only the rivets, but all the other) of steel boilers, should be of steel, to prevent the corrosive action of that metal on iron when in electrical combination. When iron and steel are not combined, steel suffers rather more than iron. The presence | of local defects in steel is manifested by the | action of corrosion. When steel is exposed to corrosion, the oxide scale on it causes | rapid decay of those parts not covered by it ; | therefore the scale should always be re- | moved. In choosing iron plates a-thorough | knowledge of the different brands is req visite, as they are very misleading, and steam users are, consequently, in many cases deceived. A great deal of inferior iron is being used. Steel plates are generally | drilled, but sometimes punched and _ after- ward annealed. The effect of punching on iron and steel is greater on thick than on thin plates. Lap joints of thick plates have a smaller ratio of strength than thin ones. The employment of butt joints is recom- mended with thick plates. Single-riveted butt joints with double strips are stronger thun double-riveted lap joints. SS The English Bessemer Steel Industry in 1884. | According to the annual statistical report issued by Mr. J. S. Jeans, secretary of the British Iron Trade Association, the total pro- duction of Bessemer steel ingots in Great Britain during 1884 amounted to 1,299,676 tons, against a total production cf 1,553.380 tons in 1883. The decrease in 1884 amounced to 253,704 tons, which is the greatest de- crease that has occurred in any one year in the history of the trade. In 1883 there was a decrease of 120,269 tons on the make of | 1882, so that the total decrease of 1884 on 1882 is not less than 373.973 tons. The following table shows the quantities of Bessemer steel ingots produced in each dis- trict of the United Kingdom in 1882, 1883 and 1884: Production of Bessemer Steel Ingots.

The greatest decrease of production has oceurred in the Sheffield district, where in 1883 it amounted to 134,237 tons on 1882, and in 1884 to 214,017 tons on the same year. A great part of this diminished make is attributable to the removal of one of the largest works to the West Cumberland dis- trict which, in consequence thereof, shows | in 1884 an increased production of 23,808 tons on 1882, being, indeed, the only district | in which an increase occurs. The total de- | crease in the make of steel rails on that of 1882 has been: In 1883, 138,611 tons; in 1884, 450,817 tons; total, 589,428 tons. The decreased make of rails is more con- siderable than that of ingots, the percentage decline on 1883 being 24 per cent. in the | case of ingots, and 40 per cent. in that of No. 11. . at that of the first half, but the make of rails has considerably fallen off. The next state- scriptions of finished steel, &c., manufac tured in addition to rails, of which returns have been received for 1884. The total of these items is 302,290 tons, but it is not to be assumed that any one of them is com- plete, as some firms have failed to distin- guish one variety of manufactured steel from all the others: Merchant steel, 55,115 tons; plates (including fish plates), 47,793 tons; billets, 46,132 tons; blooms (not including those known to have been rolled into rails at works where they were produced), 126,804 tons; forgings, 4200 tons; castings, 199 tons; tin-plate bars, 10,208 tons; angles, 840 tons ; tires, 10,999 tons; total, 302,290 THE NEW tons. The usual statement showing the po- Fig. 1. CLAPP-GRIFFITHS STEEL ularly employed. On the contrary, a num- ber of them—perhaps something like one- half—have only been working very irregu- larly, and the average number of converters at work during the year may be taken to be considerably less than the number specified. For this reason it would be unfair to divide that number into the total tons of ingots produced as a method of measuring the average productive capacity of the convert- ers employed. Such a process would only give an average yield per converter of 15,658 tons, and, as the average annual pro- duction per converter in 1883 was 20,991 tons, would be likely to lead to the erroneous conclusion that the average capacity of the steel works of the United Kingdom has been declining, The average actual output per | ~—Section of Works.

EEE Iron-Making in Burmah.—A corres- pondent writing from Burmah to the Glas- gow Herald gives a very interesting descrip- tion of the King’s iron works, at Sagine, which were erected and nearly completed 10 years since. The works were almost | be well to count the possible cost, for the ready to start when the King died, and his | rulers of Burmah have rather a bloodthirsty crimson creeper, one of the blast furnaces plays flower-pot to a gigantic prickly cactus, and the rolling mills repose in the shade of | luxurious tree ferns. The dry climate has helped to preserve the machinery, which is said to be remarkably free from rust. Any | one anxious to become a Burmese ironmaster | might, by journeying to Mandalay, get the right side of the King, and secure the con- cession of the works for a mere nothing, but before embarking in the enterprise it would successor manifested a strong objection to | reputation, and sometimes decapitate those becoming an ironmaster.

Our pages have borne testimony during the past few weeks to the great interest | aroused by the results with the experimental plant of two Clapp-Griffiths converters at the works of Messrs. Oliver Brothers & Phillips, at Pittsburgh. Mr. J. P. With- erow, in his paper before the recent meeting of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, gave the history of that earlier plant, which in its details was only a copy of the appliances used in Wales. He and those co-operating with him were quick to reach the conclusion that, while the results with the old plant clearly demonstrated the claims of the pro cess to an important position, it did not come up to the demands of American Bessemer practice in its mechanical arrangements. The fixed converters in the earlier ex perimental plant were built upon a_ brick pier, 13 feet in hight, the molten pig being fed into them from a cupola behind them by simple runners. After making up ward of 2000 tons of steel with the old plant, which had, however, to undergo a number of changes, it was decided to remodel the entire plant. This has been now nearly, if not wholly, com pleted, and the new works will start up in a few days, if, indeed, they have not already made their first blow by the time these lines reach our readers. We show in the accompanying engravings a plan or ele vation and a section of the new works, Its principal characteristic feature is that the fixed converter has been provided with a movable bottom, involving arrangements for drying bottoms and the appliances for hand ling product. There are two 3-ton converters, the details of which we shall speak of further on. Back of them is a cupola, with a stock hoist, room being left for a second cupola, which will be erected when the plant is to be run up to its full capacity. This cupola discharges its contents into an intermediate weighing ladle (shown in the section and in the plan) which travels along a track parallel to the row of converters. From this ladle the pig is poured into the spouts leading to the respective converters in the manner in dicated by dotted lines in the section. The converters themselves are hung in a wrought- iron framework, raising them some distance above the floor line and making the working floor about 10 feet above the general level. The bottoms are handled by means of a car riage. When a _ bottom is defective the hydraulic hoist shown in the section is run up with the carriage upon it, the bottom is loosened, the blast connec tion broken and the whole is lowered to the ground floor. The truck supporting the bottom is drawn along the track to the last turn-table by means of a vertical hy draulic cylinder with chain and sheaves. This vertical hydraulic cylinder is shown in the elevation, with the position of the main sheave at its highest point indicated by dotted lines. A new bottom, which has been previously prepared, is then taken from the drying stove nearest the converters, run out upon the turn-table opposite and placed upon the hoist, which is then lifted and the bottom fastened into place, the joints made and operations resumed. It wili be observed from the plan that there are three of these drying stoves. The dotted lines on the plan indicate the trucks and the turn-table ar rangements upon which the bottoms are conveyed. In front of each converter will be noticed a peculiar swinging track, arranged for con venienly tapping from the steel ladle into the ingot molds, which stand upon a truck below in nests of four, five or six, as may be desired. The mold truck stands upon atrack leading out of the building. The blast for the cupola is furnished by a Sturtevant blower, operated by a small vertical engine placed nearest the hydraulic pumps. A larger engine with 16-inch steam cylinder, 48-inch blowing cylinder and 30-inch stroke furnishes the blast for the converters. Room has been left for a second engine of the same size. The blast is conveyed tothe converters in the manner shown. Steam is furnished to the engines and pumps by three boilers, 44 inches in diameter and 26 feet long, with two flues in each. These boilers are fed with a ‘‘ doctor” boiler pump, the water passing first through a feed-heater. The power for the hydraulic lift and bottom truck hauling cylinder is provided by hydraulic pumps and an accumulator. It is estimated upon the basis of work done with the old plant that this remodeled plant, will with two cupolas have a daily capacity of 150 tons of ingots in 24 hours, provided there are sufficient hydraulic cranes and other appliances for handling the ingots The distinctive feature of the Clapp Griffiths process 18 the converter, of which we | present two different forms, the first, shown in Figs, 4 and s, being similar in design and construction to the fixed-bottom converters at the Margrin Works, Wales, and a number of other works in England.
