Ve illustrate on this page two new tool nders built by the Springfield Glue and nery-Wheel Co., of Springfield, Mass. irge emery-wheels, made especially water- wf, are used and arranged for grinding the front side of the wheel, or on both e front and back sides, thus enabling front back grinding, as may be desired. The yachines take up little room and are claimed make less dirt than ordinary grindstones, ind the workmen stand nearer the wheel, abling them to more closely watch the rk. The grade or coarseness of grit and ny degree of hardness can be regulated and lapted to the kind of work to be done. The emery-wheel is made of emery and corun- lum, crushed down*from large pieces by nproved machinery to give each grain the most possible cutting corners. The particles mposing the emery-wheel are sharp cut, ind, being five or six times harder than those of an ordinary grindstone, are claimed , do so much more work. Thus a grind- stone 3 feet in diameter, making 70 revolu- tions, gives 660 feet per minute of grinding surface, while an emery-wheel 2 feet in diam- ter can safely make 550 revolutions, and thus give 3460 feet, or over five times the rinding surface per minute of harder and = 1 NEW sharper cutting grit. A machinist averages perhaps half an hour daily at a grindstone, and in a shop of 20 men 10 hours per day are consumed sharpening tools, which at 20 cents per hour amounts to about $600 per year. This emery-wheel tool grinder, it is claimed, will do the same work in less than half the | time, at a saving of over $300 per year— more than enough to pay for the machine the first year, even if the grindstones cost nothing. The emery-wheel in this machine is surrounded by a hood, except where the grinding is done, which prevents the water flying off, even at high speed, and is adjusta- ble to the wheel as it wears away. The front section is provided with a pocket, with holes through it, to distribute the water over the face of the wheel as it leaves the pipe. | This pocket, being open, is easily cleaned of any dust or rust that gathers in the holes. An iron tank is placed under the wheel to receive the water coming from it and to catch the waste ground off. The latter set- tles to the bottom out of the way and can be easily carried away from time to time. This is an important feature. A second tank is placed by the side of this as an over- | flow tank, to which a centrifugal pump is | connected by a pipe. The water is com- | paratively clean and is used over and over. | The flow on the wheel is controlled by valve to the desired amount. Four sizes of each style are manufactured, each using | steel spindles from 1% to 2% inches in di- ameter, with frame proportioned to the size of emery-wheel used, as follows: 30x 4 inches, 26 x 4 inches, 20 x 3 inches and 14 x 2% inches. The small engraving represents a slide-rest and diamond tool made by the company for turning up emery-wheels. It is shown so clearly as to require no descrip- tion, a The first of three steamers now building for the North German Lloyd Line (New Y aon and Southampton and Bremen) was launched | every ww _— by EMERY ‘end of it. Sims torpedo. a/| necessary auxiliary. of the Davip Review WILLIAMS, 27, successfully at the yard of John Elder & Co., Govan, near Glasgow, the 22d inst. The dimensions are as follows: Length 460 feet, breadth of beam 39 feet, depth of hold 38 feet, tonnage 6000 tons gross. Her engines are 8500 horse-power and triple expansion. The vessel is built of steel, has four masts, steam steering gear, and her propeller is of manganese bronze, a very flexible metal peculiarly adapted for propellers, as it bends to almost any extent before it breaks. The | application of this material to the purpose is comparatively new, but is believed to fur- nish an important additional safeguard against accidents. - EEE The Sims Torpedo. At last the United States Government has adopted the Sims electrical fish torpedg as the main defense of the coast in the ab- sence of proper batteries. When long- rapge guns are procured, if Congress can ever be awakened toa large enough patriot- ism to grant sufficient money, the two sys- tems of defense will be combined. If a hos- tile man-of-war should come within long range of New York to morrow there would be a lively little something frisking about the water, with 400 pounds of dynamite in the GRINDERS, -WHEEL TOOL The moving object would be a! It could chase the ship for 2 miles at the rate of 11 or 12 miles an hour, could dive under spars, cut through ropes, wheel around in a circle of less than 200 feet, dart off at any angle and move, to an inch, just as a well-protected operator on shore willed by simply working an electric instru- ment. At the proper moment the operator could either explode the 400 pounds of dyna- mite or allow the charge to be exploded by contact with the sides of the vessel, just as he pleased. The Government has bought and received five of these formidable engines of war and has them stored at Willet’s Point, ready for instant service. The inventor, Mr. Sims, is building five more of the huge fishlike tor- pedoes under a contract with the War De- partment, and there is an unexpended ap- propriation for still seven more, which have | been ordered. It is thought that 200 of | these torpedoes will be sufficient to defend the coast against hostile fleets. General Abbott has asked Mr. Sims for an estimate | as to the cost of 100, so that it can fairly be settled that the problem of torpedo warfare | has been solved sufficiently to resist any known means of attack, the presence of | long-range rifled guns being, of course, a So great has been the secrecy maintained by the inventor that no persons have been allowed to enter the Edi- son Machine Works, where they are made, but Government officers and confidential persons employed in the manufacture. The torpedo is a cylindrical hull of copper, ; inch thick. The ends are conical and capped with steel. It is 28 feet long and 21 inches in diameter, and is made in four parts or sections, which are put together by means of | lock joints. This copper hull is supported at |a distance of about 5 feet under the water by a comparatively indestructible float, which is also made of copper, and is filled with packed cotton as a means of buoyancy. New York BUILT BY THE Hardware, Iron No. 83 Reade Street, New York. Ente | This float may be riddled with shot and yet | it will stay on the surface and support the submerged torpedo The float and the torpedo below it are connected together by steel stanchions. On top of the float are two rods or guides, sur mounted by balls. These indicate to the operator where the torpedo is. They-are hinged to the float and are kept upright by springs. When the torpedo dives under or cuts through an obstruction the springs allow the guide balls to lay in a socket, and to stand upright again when the obstruction is passed. The whole apparatus is provided with a steel propeller and rudder. The tor pedo may force its way through cables or similar obstructions by means of a sharp, strong blade which forms the prow, and which is set at an angle of 60°, like the ram of anironclad. This angle gives the knife great pewer in cutting, especially as the structure moves with great speed. Not only does this formidable prow serve this pur | pose, but, when it strikes a spar or any | other floating barrier, the slant makes the re hole vessel dive under, and its buoyancy | enables it to rise on the other side as it con tinues on its course toward the object of its attack. The torpedo is extremely simple in its construction. The gross weight is about 4000 pounds but when taken apart Slide-Rest and Diamond Tool for Trveing lp Aine Wheels SPRINGFIELD GLUE AND no single section weighs more than 800 pounds. Copper and brass are used almost exclusively, and this does away with the faults which steel torpedoes presented to the English Admiralty. But the great feature of the torpedo which marks it out from all others is the fact that it is propelled, steered and exploded by elec- tricity. All other moving torpedoes contain in themselves the means of motion. As the space is small the power is soon exhausted. Then the torpedo-boat is useless for further maneuvering, although so long as the power lasts it can be steered from the shore by ar | attached cable. In the Sims torpedo, how- ever, the power is generated by a dynamo- electric machine on shore, and a continuous current of power can be kept up as long as is desired. This dynamo machine may be kept in the heart of the city if necessary, and the electricity conveyed to the shore by an underground wire, or the dynamo may be in a fort or on board of a war vessel. In fact, all men-of-war carry dynamo machines | now. Ip the bow of the submerged torpedo is placed a charge of 400 pounds of dynamite, which occupies the w hole front section. The second section is an air-tight chamber. In the third section are coiled 2 miles of cable, weighing 700 pounds to the mile. It is played out as the torpedo flashes through the water, and thus the propeller is not com- pelled to do the work of dragging a cable along the bed of the ocean or harbor. One end of the cable is connected with the pro pelling and steering apparatus in the fourth section of the hull, while the other end of | the cable is connected ou shore with the dynamo that furnishes the power, as well as | with the key-board of the operator. Inside | of this cable are two wires—one for steering and the other for propelling. In the last | section of the torpedo are two powerful magnets which hold the rudder in the cen- |ter when the hull is going on a straight EMERY -WHEEL | confined to smal! areas. | Cherokee County. Metal Tr Office, New York, as and red at the Post Thursday, December 31, 1885. course When it is desirable to chs ange the course the operator moves a small lever on the key-board and the current passes into one magnet or the other and the rudder is pulled about in the proper direction. A rate of over 11 miles an hour has been attained in repeated Government tests, and the officers who have heen experimenting for years with the torpedo say that it will be easy to get a still higher rate of speed with the same apparatus ; That the torpedoes cannot be destroyed by artillery fire from an enemy’s ship has been thoroughly proved. The floats have been anchored in front of a fort and kept under a concentrated fire for hours. and still, rid dled as they were, tl ey floated ready for immediate service. and were en — Steel Ores of the South. rhe Southern furnaces have never taken any position in the market as to the produc tion of Bessemer pig metal. With one ex ception no furnace south of Virginia makes any pig that can be claimed to be of that class. This is manifestly a great disad vantage The fact is that, with her im mense wealth of iron ores, the quality which Bessemer pig is very searce and will make COMPANY, Even in Virginia that furnace which can claim to make at any time a specialty of Bessemer pig derives most of its ore of that class from North Carolina. Throughout the Alleghany ranges of mountains from Maryland to Middle Ala- bama numerous veins of ore have been | found which gave promise of furnishing a| supply for the manufacture of Bessemer pig. | Either exploration has proven most of these | too small in quantity or analysis has shown | that they were not sufficiently pure. There | has been but one notable exception so far. | What future exploration may develop it is impossible to say. A great area of aece} rocks yet unexplored in the States of Vir- ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor- | gia and Alabama is comparatively unknown. | In North Carolina the width of these rocks | is greater than in any of the Atlantic States, and there is a series of kglts of such ore in| that formation from a point a little east of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad to the extreme western corner of the State in The first of these is found on the Cape Fear River, in Harnett County, and upon its supposed immense quantity great hopes were once had of future indus- trial development. It was pronounced to be the rival, if not the superior, of the Missouri Iron Mountain. Lhe great cap of ore proved to be only an overflow from a very small vein, and a supply for one small charcoal furnace is now obtained with difficulty There is @ similar appearance in a south- west line which has never been explored in the County of Montgomery, but it 1s some distance from any railroad. In Randolph County several veins occur of apparently excellent ore, but also distant from any rail road. One of the most interesting series of | spathic ores occurs near the line of the Char lotte and Atlanta Railroad, in both North and South Carolina. No sufficient exploration of them has been made to determine quantity. The largest vein occurs in Crowden’s Mour- | ades. Second-Class SPRINGFIELD, jand the lower INDE vaRtiSemants PAGE 17.

It was operated for some time and the ore shipped to Harrisburg. Of the present status I am not informed. It is probably the as the Dan River, N. C., magnetites The Dan River magnetites are not accessible to transportation, and have not been thorough!y explored. In the same line southwest are beds in Rutherford County, and a little west avery continuous vein shows in McDowell County. The latter ores all show to some extent in South Carolina, but no body of sufficient size to warrant large operations has been found. West of the Blue Ridge, in North Carolina, veins of magnetite have been found at various points and some traced Some of these veins con tain titanium and others are not only free from that substance, but also free from phos phorus. Of the latter the Cranberry vein is the only one on which any development has beds west same ore over large areas. MASS been attempted. It is of great width and length and extends into Tennessee In Georgia veins of magnetite have been found, but none of such apparent extent as to warrant the outlay of large sums of money. It is possible that in the northeast part of this State, as yet much unknown, such veins may yet be found. Alabama has a great area cf very pure limonites, but none which in themselves would make Bessemer pig Several veins of magnetites and specular ores have been found, but the former have too much titanium and the latter are too sili cious. A singular body of this ore occurs in Paulding County, near the Georgia line. It is a large vein of very silicious ore, and near by is a narrow one of very pure mi caceous specular, really of extraordinary purity. The large area of limonites in the | western part of Middle Tennessee, called the ** Western Iron Belt,” does not afford any quantity of Bessemer ores, though specimens very low in phosphorus have been obtained In East Tennessee the Cranberry bed comes into the southern end of Carter County, and there is evidence that an immense amount of ore can be obtained therefrom. Develop- ments now being made prove the continuity of the vein, and at least of recurrent masses like that developed at Cranberry. It is not only possible but probable, that careful ex amination will tind a similar ore in counties further southwest, where the metam: rp rocks exist A very promising lovality on] slightly examined by me is in Blount County.
