[he contractors for the Suakim and Ber er railroad have decided to adopt electric lighting in order to encounter satisfactorily the obstacles as to climate, &c., of which so much has been said. By this means they intend to construct the road during night- time, when the temperature will be such as Europeans can withstand with tolerable ase, while during the heat of the day they can take their rest. To carry out this arrangement Messrs. Kitson & Co., of Leeds, England, havealready supplied two complete intallations for electric lighting, and, as will be observed from the illustration on this page, reproduced from Engineering, the arrangement is very com- pact and well adapted to the requirements. The engine, boiler and dynamo for each set, as well as the supports for the lamps when not in use, are all neatly fixed on a. specially designed light railway truck. When in use the lamps will be hung from iron tripods 32 feet in hight, and placed at inter- ! vals of 30 yards along the line of the pro- posed railway. The tripods are made of light iron tubing jointed at the top and made telescopic in the middle, so that they can be | folded together, removed and united wher- ever required with the least possible trouble. The insulated cable to convey the electric | current to the lamps is coiled on reeks, two being supplied with each installation. On these reels the cable can be run off or wound up, as required. The lamps, which are of 2000 candle-power each, can also be moved forward, one at a time, from one end to the other as the work of construction proceeds, a simple switch arrangement being provided for the cutting off of the current from any particular lamp without interference with any of the others. The dynamo machines are of the Brush type and are driven by Parsons’s patent high-speed engines. The boilers are of the locomotive type and are supplied by means of a feed pump with | water from a tank fixed under the dynamo machine, which latter by this means is also | kept cool during work. The carbons of the lamps are arranged to burn for a period of 16 hours. a ? * Hydraulic Machinery vs. Steam. The impression is very persistent upon the minds of some men, says Mechanics, that the | use of heavy hydraulic machinery for such | work as must be done, for example, in a Bessemer steel works, is an error, and, in fact, a delusion of a very important kind. The preference expressed by them is generally found to be for some com- | paratively small and quick-running steam | engine, applied directly to the work either through a worm gear, if the work be heavy, or through spur gearing, if it needs to be done at greater speed, and is of less amount in each single effort which must be exerted. This is most apt / to be urged by those who are ff somewhat familiar with the Vy building of the average type / of small engines—say of 8 inches to 12 inches diameter of cylin der—but who have never made themselves at all acquainted with the sort of treatment which such engines are sure to be sub- ject to sooner or later in these crude kinds of work, without appea! and, to all practical in- tents and purposes, without remedy. The extremely slow motion of the hydraulic machine, the clumsy parts of which it is made up, the utter folly of requiring that the maximum effort should be exerted with every stroke, whether a load be lifted or not—all these {consid- erations have great weight in the snap judgments thus passed upon the machine. The rugged endurance which it manifests under trying | been able to get at them. galvanized iron is, of course, nothing more | had taken up 6.41 grains of zine carbonate | steel wire upon circumstances is not always recognized by | those who would substitute the lighter parts of the steam machinery in its! place. Nor is the fact always clear to them that the numerous small parts, such as eccentric connections and knuckle joints, and gland bolts in_ stuffing-boxes, of apparently trifling importance, and sure to prove durable as measured by ordinary con- ditions of service and wear, are too often found the sources of intense annoyance and of delay and actual loss. Whatever else foremen or managers must do, the demand is imperative that they shall keep their machinery in motion, and, aftera genuine break-down has been encountered by one of the light-part, higher-speed kind of builders, he is apt to look with more re- spect upon the preference which he thought so unreasonable for 1%-inch bolts for a gland around a plunger. The fact is that experience shows most conclusively that such bolts are an important safeguard, or rather that the general line of practice which the use of such bolts illustrates is the only known means of assuring the operation of such machinery against fatal delays. Steam machinery can hardly compete with these massive forms of hydraulic apparatus until it has taken upon itself, at the hands of some courageous designer, a boldness of outline and an apparent hopeless absurdity in pro- portion of parts such as shall compare very closely with the hydraulic fixtures so strongly | objected to. The security which is thus assured, that the whole shall safely pass the fiery ordeal of a ‘‘ blizzavd” of melted steel, or the well-meant attention of some greaser, who labors under the impression that the only way to tighten a leaky gland is to screw it up, without reference to the possible need of more packing or of an overhauling of what may still remain, should not be re garded lightly. a Zine in Drinking Water > The following is from the pen of F, P. Venable, and appeared in the Journal of the American Chemical Society The increase in the use of galvanized iron especially in the form of water-tanks and | pipes, has led to a reopening of the question as to the possible injurious effects from the use of such water. It isa matter of impor tance. then, to us how far our knowledge extends on this subject, and I will collect here all of the known facts, so far as | have \ PORTABLE than iron dipped in a bath of zinc, and so superficially coated with it and to a certain extent alloyod with it. The character of the protection afforded the iron is galvanic (hence the name), the two metals forming a galvanic couple, so that under the action of any excit ing liquid the zinc, and not the iron, is attacked. That zinc dissolves in potable water has long since been shown by the experiments of Boutigny, Schauefféle and Langonné. Distilled water and rain water dissolve it more readily than hard water. Especially is water containing carbonic acid capable of this solvent action. So much may be taken up that the water becomes opalescent and acquires a distinctly metallic taste. It seems that, by the action of water, hydrate and carbonate of zinc are gradually formed, and that this action is more rapid in the presence of certain saline matters, but is weakened by the presence of calcium salts. As to the injurious effect of such waters, authorities differ. Fonssagrives has inves- tigated the question, consulting the statistics of the French navy and the recorded experi- ments of others, adding, however, none of | his own. The French Government had, be fore this, appointed a committee to make a special report on the subject, and the inves- tigations of Roux in 1865 and 1866 furnish 4.29 grains of zinc carbonate per gallon and | because the water is compelled to circulate evidence enough of possible injury to health from water stored in galvanized-iron tanks to | ELECTRIC-LIGHT lead to an order from the Minister of Marine prohibiting the use of such tanks on board ships of war, Boutigny attributed grave effects to the use of these zinc-containing waters, looking upon it as probably resulting in epilepsy. Fonssagrives, however, main tains that the zine is not cumulative, and produces no bad effects unless taken in large doses, Doubt is thrown on this posi tion, however, by the fact that assertions as to the limited solubility of zine in ordinary drinking water are not sustained by experiments. Without doubt such waters have been used for considerable length of time, and no injurious effects have noticed, This may have been due, to the hardness of the water, and small amount of zine dissolved heim states, in contradiction to tion of Fonssagrives, that zine are dangerous and must be carefully avoided Dr. Osborne, of Bitterne, has frequently observed injurious effects from the use of waters impregnated with zine. Dr. Stev- enson has noticed the solvent action of water on galvanized iron, and states that probably its continued use would cause in | jury to health. He recommends as a con venient test for the presence of zine in pota ble waters the addition of potassium ferro- cyanide to the filtered and acidulated water. Zinc gives a faint white cloud or a heavier precipitate when more is present. Dr. Frankland mentions a case of zine poisoning where well water, containing much dissolved oxygen and but little car- bonic acid, was used — passing through galvanized-iron pipes. Professor Heaton his been however, hence the Pappen the vessels asser has recorded the analysis of spring water in | Wales, and a second analysis of the | water, after passing through 4% same mile of gal- PLANT FOR THE SUAKIM per gallon. A similar ipstance of zinc-im- | pregnated water has come under my own observation, and I append the analytical results. The water from a spring 200 yards distant was brought by galvanized-iron pipes to a dwelling- house, and there stored in a zinc-lined tank which was painted with white lead. The water became somewhat | turbid and metallic-tasting, and its use for drinking purposes was discontined. Analy- | ses were made after the pipes had been in | use about one year. A somewhat full analy- | sis of the spring water was made under my direction by Mr. J. C. Roberts. The analy- | ses of water from the tank, and directly from the pipe, I carried out only so far as zinc, iron and tests for lead were concerned. The results are calculated in grains per gal lon of 231 cubic inches. Constituents of the Water : Silica ‘ ‘ 2.45 grains Lime 23 - Magnesia .

W. Rhinelander, president of the Mil waukee, Lake Shore and Western Railway, in his annual report to the stockholders says : The assurance that has been felt for two years past, that our railway would be rap idly extended into the upper peninsula of Michigan, through the »bic mineral re gions, stimulated explorations and work in operating iron mines, and when the rails tn re laid to the Montreal River in Novem- ber last already many mines were discovered and companies formed for working them during the season of 1885. rhe ore shipments from the Lake Superior mines have exceeded 2,500,000 tons for sev eral years. The quality of the Gogebic ores promises to give them a share of the market, and the deposits are so extensive that we may fairly look for shipments over our line to Ashland equaling those from Marquette to Escanaba when the mines are developed. Provision is made at Ashland for loading the ore into vessels from a dock expressly con- structed for the purpose, with a capacity of tons for the season. Yards and tracks for the convenient handling of ore trains are also provided, and preparations made for a large traffic. Ample room is secured for any future necessary addition to | facilities for handling ore or merchandise, and for additional ore docks. The docks, yards, repair shops and station | buildings at Ashland will cost about $400,- 000, and this property, with a large amount of real estate required by the company in the neighborhood of the docks, will be placed under the mortgage known as the Ashland Division mortgage, which also covers the line of railway from the Montreal River to Ashland, 40 miles in length. In July the company will have in operativ. 1527 miles, of which 150 miles have been built mainly with reference to the develop- | meut of the iron mines. In the present state |of the market some time must be allowed for a fair return from this section, but the jresult is certain to be satisfactory. The country will be settled by a thriving popula- tion, drawing supplies from our line, furnish- 'ing a market for our products and compet for the market in Bessemer-steel ores. a Steel Instead of Iron for Card Teeth. fhe manner in which steel is taking the | place of iron in all directions is further illus ( roge 200,000 } ing RAILROAD.

Of this amount $13,182,637 was for tin and terne plates, making this one item 44 per cent., or nearly one-half the total im portations of iron and steel in the various forms during the past year. Tin and terne plates are not manufactured in this country at present The total consumption is there fore represented in the importations just quoted. Great Britain manufactures ali the tin plates consumed in this country, which are at present the largest article of export from England tothe United States, their value far exceeding that of any other commodity We are thus a dependent of Great Britain for our supply of tin plates, and yet we are the largest consumers of this article of any country in the world; in fact, we consume three-fourths of England’s total production There can be no just reason why the tin plate industry has not been established in this country, but the discriminating policy of our Government in failing to give the industry an adequate measure of protection ope that would have been in harmony with that generally given our iron and steel in dustries. Why this discrimination has been made is rather a perplexing problem. It is certainly an act of inconsistency on the part of our law-makers, especia!ly such as favored protection. It may be due, however, to sev eral causes, a few of which we will enumer ate, with brief comments. Principally we find lack of a_ proper knowledge as to what constituted tin and terne plates. This is clearly discernible in every act of Congress up to 1883. It may have been the intention of the framers of the Tariff act of 1864, to place a protective duty on tin plates, as the law of 1864 con tained the following section : ‘On tin plates, and iron galvanized or coated with any metal by electric batteries, or otherwise, 2% cents per pound.” To persons acquainted with the process of making tin plates the wording as above will appear very plain and clear, but the Hon. W. P. Fessenden, who was Secretary of the Treasury Department in 1864, evidently did not know that tin plates were iron coated with tin, but, like many other people, was rather under the impression that they were | made from pure tin or from au alloy, for in no other way could he have arrived at the following decision, which is contained in a letter dated July 22, 1564, addressed to | Hiram Barney, collector of customs, New | York, viz.: *‘ It would appear that an error of punctuation has been made by some one most probably by the clerk who engrossed that part of the act. If the comma which is inserted after the word ‘ plates’ be omit ted, and a comma placed after the word ‘iron,’ the true sense will be had, which | unquestionably is that the tin plates, as well as the iron, must be galvanized or coated with any metal by electric bat teries, or otherwise, in order to bring them within the provi Sion The inconsistency of this de Cision 1s at once apparent lo argue that the “‘true sense of the section was *‘ unquestion ably’ that the ** tin plates, as well as the iron, must be yal vanized or coated with any ed metal,” &c., Is a presumption Se reflecting but little credit Ipon either the intelligence of the framers of the law or that ot the Secretary himself The transposition of the comma made what was intelligent read ing an absurdity. Though a small act in itself, it has been of serious consequences to the country, resulting beyond question in the loss of a valuable industry The clause under which Mr. Fessenden ruled tin plates should be admitted, read ‘tin in sheets or plates, terne and tagyers tin, 15 per cent. ad valorem.” This phrase ology is by no means descriptive of tin plates Tin plates were never tin in plates, nor Vn as terne or terne plates either known as tin in sheets or have terne plates ever been knovy Yet under this law have tin plates been admitted up to June will be observed that in 1375 the and ter ad vaiorel rate was annulled and a specific duty of 1, cents per pound enacted The wording of the law, as given, would make it appea that has always, up to 13° handled the tin-plate question as though tu plates were a tin product, and not, as they Congress should have done, treated them as a produ in iron and steel. Quite a number of trad journals have also, for many years—in ignorance we presume—treated tin and terne plates as a tin product \ certain class of importers and others have it appears in their testimony befor sional done the t making it appear that tin plates profitably made in this country as we possess the tin necessary The wording of the act of 1883, under whi now admitted, is committees clause in the Tariff h tin and terne | however st ju —_— (Continued on page 4.) aa or a a b ' ow 7 Ae At RAR IR ee 4g o~ a i Rea 98 READE STREET, New York, COPPER CoO., MANUFACTURERS OF PURE COPPER WIRE, For Electrical Purposes, Bare and Covered, O'NEILS’S PATENT PLANISHED COPPER.
