Pedestal. The material underlying the foundation of the Bartholdi Statue of Liberty is com- pact elay, gravel and bowlders. The foun- dation up to the terrace level—where the pedestal proper begins—is of solid concrete ; it is gv feet square at the bottom, 65 feet square at the top, and 52 feet 10 inches high. In the center of the mass is a well hole 10 feet square. Leading from the sides to the base of the central shaft or well hole are four arched passageways at the level of the parade. Spanning the space between the inside walls of the old fort and the foun- dation of the pedestal, and carrying the four flights of steps leading to the terrace and also the grassy mound between, is a concrete arch about 3% feet thick and having a chord span of 49 feet. The pedestal will be built of granite, backed with con- crete. The principal dimensions are ; From high water to top of sea wall. . . 10 feet. Fn sea wall to foot of fort wall. 216 feet Foot fort wall to ground level at parapet of fort.. 2316 feet. Parapet to foot of pedestal. rrr * Water level to foot of pedestal... 60 feet 10 inches Foot of pedestal to top of pedestal. 49 feet. Water level to — of pedestal... Base of pedestal. Pree 62 feet square. The top of the pedestal is 43% feet square, and has the corners cut off, making it octag- | onal. The balcony at the top is 3 feet 7 inches wide in the clear, and extends all around. The loggia is 26 feet 7 inches high, the opening being 27 feet 11 inches wide by 3 feet deep in the clear. The columns are 314 feet wide, the space between them being | 6 feet. On each side of the base of the pedestal will be ro circular shields carrying coats-of-arms of the several States. The terrace will have a clear width of 15% feet, while the stairways leading to it Will be 10, feet wide. The method of holding the statue | to the pedestal is as follows: Extending across the top of the pedestal are six channel- bars arranged in two sets of three each; | these bars are directly beneath the corner poste of the main frame in the interior of the statue. Beneath and at right angles to these are six other channel-bars, also ar- | ranged in two sets, placed under the corner posts. These bars are 34 feet long, so that | each end rests in the masonry to the depth | of 33¢ feet, the well hole or shaft being 2614 feet square. The channel-bars are 4 feat deep, the web plates are 5% inch thick, and | the angles are 4 by 5 inches by 4% inch. The base of each post and the two sets of bars immediately beneath it are united by ree bolts 5% inches in diameter. A little over 60 feet below is a second and| similarly arranged system of girders, 41 feet | long, 36 inches deep, with web plate 5 inch thick ; the anglesare4 by sinchesby % inch. In the lowersystem thereare only twochannel bars in a set. These two systems are joined | by four sets of eye-bars, placed as near as possible to the side walls of the shaft. Each set consists of four bars, 4 inches wide by 1% inches thick. Upon the sides of the statue the upper ends of these bars will be prolonged to join the main frame at the tops | of the first and second panels, All Feet | within the pedestal will be made of steel This method of anchoring the statue, says | the Scientific American, is open to severe | ‘riticism. It practically hinges the statue at its base, the first section of the main | frame serving as a fulcrum resistin the | lateral pressure coming upon any side of the figure. This is the weakest part of abe| main frame, since it receives no support from the side extensions, which do not reach to the bottom of the lowest el. The pedestal was, designed by Mr. Richard | M. Hunt, the architect ; the plan of anchor- | ing the statue was designed by Gen. Charles | P. Stone, chief engineer, under whose diree- | tion the work is now being carried forward. | —————— | A tool for making holes in tube sheets of | boilers and in other plate-metal structures | has been patented by W. F. Harrison, of Wilmington, Del. The tool is so made as to be readily adjustable for the cutting of holes f different diameters. It comprises two iudependently-adjustable and laterally-slid- ing tool-holders, extending through the cut- ver-head, and provided with cylindrical “ockets for the reception of the cutters. | lamping-bar and nut are arranged to simul. | ‘taneously clamp both the sliding tool-holders. | entrally through the head projects a cylin- | inie al centering pin or bit provided with cut- ing teeth at its lower end. The cutters are | 1djusted radially to the center pin to the re sired distance by means of the slides, and | ‘re then clamped in place. A small hole is inched at the center of the opening to be | nade, and, the cutter being placed in a drill ress, the central pin will bore a small cylin- | rical guide opening, while the eutters will | ita channel through the metal concentric | ith the guide. | The Russell & Erwin Mfg. Co., of New! ‘itain, Conn., are the patentees of a new ‘ire nail. The shank of this nail is not 1ade smooth, but is made in several taper- ¥ or conical sections. That is to say, from ‘he point upward the nail widens for a short stance, is then contracted, and again ‘dens. In this way a series of barbs are : rmed, which act as ratchet teeth and/| event withdrawal of the nail except by reat force. The wire from which the nails | ‘re made is prepared with the projections in & continuous strip, and is then cut, headed and pointed. .149 feet 10 inches ' the oftenest subject to it.

One of the most important things to be considered in boiler construction, says the Locomotive, is the position and arrangement of the feed apparatus, but it is, unfortu- nately, one of the elements that is most often overlooked, or, if considered at all, only in a very superficial manner. Many seem to think that it is only necessary to have a hole somewhere in the boiler—no matter may be what part—through which water BLOOMING MILL WITH pumped, and we have all that is desired. This is a very grave error. Many boilers have been ruined, and (we make the asser- tion with the confidence born of long expe- rience) a large number of destructive explo- sions have been directly caused by introducing the feed-water into boilers at the wrong point. On the location and construction of the feed depends to some extent the economical working of a boiler, and to a great extent, especially with certain types of boilers, its safety, durability and freedom from a variety of defects, such as leaky seams, frac- tured plates, and others of a similar kind. And it is unfortunately true that the type of boiler which from its nature is most severely affected by mal-construction such as we are now speaking of is the very one which is We are speaking New York, - hursday, Sune now more particularly of the plain cylinder boiler, of which there are many in use throughout the country. Plain cylinder boilers are, as a rule, pro- vided with mud-drums, located near the back end. Asa rule, also, these boilers are set in pairs over a single furnace, and the mud-drum extends across beneath and is connected to both, and one end projects through the setting wall at the side. It isa favorite method to connect the feed-pipe to the end cf the mud-drum, which projects Fig. t.—Elevation of Train. Fig. 2.—Plan of Train, SALLE Cae Fig. 3.—Plan of Feed Tables, BALANCED TOP ROLL AT THE EBB through the wall, and here the feed-water is introduced, whether hot or cold, and there is really not so much difference after all between the two, for, no matter how ef- fective a heater may be, the temperature to which it can raise water passing through is quite low compared with the temperature of the water in the boiler due to a steam press- ure of, say, 80 pounds per square inch. The difference in the effect produced by feeding hot or cold water at the wrong place is one of degree, not of kind. When a boiler is under steam of, say, 80 pounds per square inch the body of water in it will have a tem perature of about 324° F., and the shell plates will necessarily be somewhat hotter, especially on the bottom—just how much hotter will depend entirely upon the quan- tity of scale or sediment present, Now in- ‘Trac and Metal Entered at the Post Office, New York, as IS, I885. troduce a large volume of cold water through an opening in the bottom, and what becomes of it? Does it rise at once and become mixed with the large body of water in the boiler? By no means. It connot rise until it has become heated, for there is a great difference between the specific gravity of water at 60°, or even 212° F., and water at 324°. Consequently it ‘‘ hugs” the bottom of the boiler and flows toward the front end or hottest portion of the shell. Now let us examine the effect which it produces. W VALE STEEL WORKS. We know that wrought iron expands or | contracts about 1 ’part in 150,000 for each degree that its temperature is raised or lowered This is equivalent to a stress of 1 ton per square inch of section for every 15°, That is, suppose we fix a piece of iron—a strip of boiler plate, for instance— '4 inch thick and 4 inches wide, at a tempera- ture of 92° F., between a pair of immovable clamps. Then, if we reduce the temperature of the bar under experiment to that of melt ing ice, we put a stress of 4 tons upon it, or 1 ton for each inch of its width. Now this is precisely what happens when cold water is fed into the bottom of a boiler. We have the plates or the shell at a tem- perature of not less, probably, than 350° F. A large quantity of cold water, often at a temperature as low as 50° F., is intro ’ The Iron Age phan les. A eR Second-Class Matter, $4.50 a Year, Including Postage. Single Copies, Zen Cents. duced through an opening in the bottom, and flows along over these heated plates. If it could produce its full effect at once the contraction caused thereby would bring a stress of 300 + I5 20 tons per square inch upon the bottom plates of the shell, But fortunately it cannot exert its full effect at once, but it can act to such an extent that we have known it to rupture the plates of a new boiler through the seams on the bottom no less than three | times in less than six weeks after the boil ers were started up. The effect in such cases will always be the | most marked, especially if the plant is fur nished with a heater, when the engine is not running, for then, as no steam is being drawn from the boilers, there is compara tively little circulation going on in the water in the boiler, and the water pumped in, colder than usual from the fact that the heater is not in operation, spreads out in a thin layer on the lowest point of the shell, and stays there, and keeps the temperature of the shell downy owing to the fires being banked or the draft shut, while the larger body of water above, at a temperature of from 300° to 325°, keeps the upper portion of the shell at its higher temperature. It will readily be seen that the strain brought upon the seams along the bottom is some- thing enormous, and we can understand why it is many boilers of this class rupture their girth seams while being filled up for the night after the engine has been shut down. To most persons who have but a slight knowledge of the matter, we fancy it would be a surprise to see the persistence with which cold water will ‘‘ hug” the bot- tom of a boiler under such circumstances. We have seen boilers when the fire has been drawn, and cold water pumped in to cvol them off, so cold on the bottom that they felt cold to the touch, and must consequently have had a temperature considerably be- low 100° F., while the water on top, above the tubes, was sufficiently hot to scald; and they will remain in such a condition for hours. The only thing to be done where feed con- nections are made in the manner described is to change them, and by changing them at once much trouble, or even a disastrous ex- plosion, may be avoided. Put the feed-pipe in through the front head a few inches be- low the water line, drill and tap a hole the proper size for the feed-pipe, cut a long thread on the end of the pipe and screw the pipe through the head, letting it project through on the inside far enough to put on a coupling, then screw into the coupling a piece of pipe not less than 8 or 10 feet long, letting it run horizontally toward the back end of the boiler, the whole arrangement being only from 3 to 4 inches below the water line of the boiler, and hot or cold water may be fed indifferently without fear of danger from ruptured plates or leaky seams. In short, put in a ‘*top feed” and avoid further trouble er Blooming Mill at the Ebbw Vale Steel Works. The Ebbw Vale Works have recently com pleted a blooming mill with balanced top roll, to handle 14%-inch rail ingots, making 6-inch blooms. Mr. Holland has given a description of the mill at a meeting of the British Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and Engineering has published a series of engravings, which we reproduce. The rolls themselves are 36 inch centers, and are shown in elevation in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 beingaplan. The blooms are conveyed from the rolls to the shears on live rollers, 24-inch centers and Ig inches in diameter by 13 inches wide. These are driven by a pair of 6'%-inch by 10-inch vertical engines, geared 2 to 1. The shears, which are horizontal, are driven by a vertical engine, made at Ebbw Vale, 12 by 15 inches, geared 9'4 to 1, the stroke of knife being 10 inches The arrangement is shown in Fig. 8. Re- turning to the rolls, we find a new arrange- ment for turning and carrying the ingot from groove to groove, illustrated in Figs: 3, s and 6. The arrangement of rollers on each side of the rolls is also shown in these illustrations. ‘These rollers are placed 264 inch centers, are 16 inches in diameter, and are driven by a pair of vertical engines, 10 inch cylinders by 14-inch stroke The turning and carrying of the ingot is effected by two hydraulic cylinders. The turning or tipping cylinder is 6 inches in diameter by 16 inches stroke. This is shown to the right of the illustrations in Figs. and 5. The piston-rod is connected to a square shaft by a connecting-rod and a crank lever. On the square shaft, which is placed parallel with the rollers, is a loose miter wheel carried in a bearing on a movable carriage. This wheel gears into a miter wheel on a shaft carried on a movable ca: riage at right angles to the carrying rollers On this shaft are keyed four levers, and three are connected by links to tipping levers which work between the carrying lrollers. The carriage on which the levers and their shaft are carried travels beneath he rolls, so as to take the ingot as it passes through each groove. The carriage is tray ersed by a hydraulic piston 8 inches in diam eter by 6 feet 2 inches stroke For balancing the top roll two hydrauli rams 10 inches in diameter are placed underneath the bed-plate of the roll standard as shown in Figs. 1, 4 and 7.
