Witz, published in the Excerpt Minutes of Proceedings of the British Institute of Civil Engineers, are of in terest. From this we find that in Accum’s — moreover, be at a sufficiently high tempera- | place or the material the temperature of | idly as it is delivered cold by the inlet nozzle. increase of ture to make the heavy oils and other bodies, which it is desired to indicate.

Favier and Hélouis have accordingly ar- ranged an atomizer in which air is used as | the dividing agent, being drawn in by a | steam injector. The resulting vapor issues at a high speed and is heated to a compara- tively high temperature. The oil also is previously heated while passing from the reservoir to the burner, and its supply can e regulated by a suitably arranged valve. [t flows through the passage a bc (Figs. 2 and 3) and issues into the space o. Here it mests the reduced current of air which mes through def (Fig. 3). The resulting spray issues through the burner C, which, after having been once heated, insures a steady burning of the mixture. Combustion is, moreover, maintained by the nozzle F, more properly termed ‘‘ regenerator,”’ which not only prevents escape of unconsumed combustible matter, but also concentrates the heat in such a way as to preserve a con- stant high temperature of the mixture of oil andairino. It will be seen that the oil in its slow passage along b c (Fig. 3) arrives in at a comparatively high temperature, wing to its close proximity to the conduit f. Any number of burners can, of course, e combined, only two being shown in the engravings. The whole arrangement is mounted on the vertical axis ad. The noz- les F F may be made to fit into suitable jpenings in the fire-box door. er Wiring Press. Among the new machines recently per- fected by the E. W. Bliss Co., Brooklyn, is the wire press shown in the accompanying engraving. While intended especially for use in operating wiring dies, horn «dies and for closing side seams in round, square and val work, it can also be used for cutting and forming articles as well. One valuable feature of the press is the adjustable table rbed upon which the die is placed. This s accurately adjusted to any hight required by means of a large screw placed directly under the table and operated by a hand- wheel. When the table has been placed at the required hight it is firmly secured to the cody of press by two large binding bolts, and the jam nut on adjusting screw is tightened, making it sufficiently rigid for any kind of work that can be done on the press. The slide, which has long bearings, is provided with adjustible V-shaped gibs to mpensate for wear. The shaft is made of vest hammered steel and is provided with the patent clutch, which, the manufacturers aim, is the best yet devised for the purpose { locking the wheel to the shaft The wheel is farnished with one, two or three king grooves, as desired. The shaft is «80 provided with a friction which insures ¢ stopping of crank at the highest point *hen clutch is released. The various points xcellence on this press makes it a most rauable machine for manufacturers of ed tinware, while the design is such as to in attractive appearan ce. I The Frew Pyrometer. John Frew, manager of the Langloan t Works, Coatbridge, Scotland, ha; been ssful in perfecting a most ingenious | 1eter—an instrument which is capable tinuously indicating every variation of rature with a remarkable degree of tness. This instrument, of which we luce the annexed cut from Engineering, lready become favorably known to a er of blast-furnace managers and pro- prietors, > leading principle on which its con- | ion is based is the well-known law of | xpansion of gases. Referring to our} “Ograving, it will be seen that at A is a pipe | fh PTL | eet rr — LU Fig. 1.—Portion of Boiler Fitted with Petroleum Burners, LIQUID FUEL NEW WIRING BURNERS, MESSRS.

In this way there is pro- ‘ a head of water which retains u the pipe B a constant pressure of air, | alent to the head of water between the | end of that pipe and the overflow at E. | excess of pressure is prevented by s of the open-ended pipe, which per- the air to escape by the central tube. atter prevents the agitation caused by ‘pward-rushing air from disturbing the f the water in the cistern, and in further to assist this the central tube ed loosely in its upper part with lead ‘Ss or other suitable materials supported perforated plate. The water level cistern is indicated by means of a gauge, which is represented at G. To zle K and the spiral heater L. The other end of this pipe passes through the india- rubber stopper of a small cistern or bottle, O, | which, when in use, is about two-thirds filled with a colored liquid. It will be seen that | the tube N only passes through the stopper, | so that it may convey pressure to the sur-| face of the liquid. At P is a glass tube | which also passes through the stopper and | then to the bottom of the colored liquid, and, as its upper end is opep, any variation of pressure in the spiral heater is directly transmitted to the indicating column of colored liquid. The operaticn of the instrument is as fol- lows: As thecold blast used in the apparatus would be useless for the working of the pyrometer if taken direct from the cold-blast | main, owing to its irregularity of pressure, By means of the inlet | any convenient point between the inlet noz- | air has taken up from the hot-blast pipe io which the spiral heater is fixed. Then, again, as this pressure is directly transmitted to the indicating liquid in the cistern and the vertical tube immersed in it, a rise takes place in the column which isin exact pro- portion to the expansion of the current of blast passing through the spiral heater. The method of graduating the indicator scales of the Frew pyrometer is worthy of special notice. When the apparatus is fitted up, and before it is permanently fixed in position, the spiral heater is placed in cold water of known temperature, and the point noted at which the colored liquid stands in the indicator tube. The water is then boiled, and the rise of the liquid in the tube is again noted. Suppose that, in the first instance, the cold-water temperature to be 62° F , and that from this point up to 212° F. the liquid FAVIER 7& * iA | i Pot f 7 =| = CFL > ay =r f , Gg y a G | oe + i jen e i a re: 14 i Fig and Oil Showing Air 3.—Diugram Passages.

THE FREW blast stoves of every description, there are doubtless many uses that will suggest them selves to persons engaged in various indus- trial artsand manufactures. The apparatus is neat and substantial in its parts, while it occupies very little space, is not at all liable to derangemeat, and is entirely automatic in its action. A number of the instruments have been in continuous use at the Langloan treatise on gas lighting an experiment is described which consists in burning the gas under a vessel containing a known quan- tity of distilled water, and observing the rise in temperature obtained by the combus- tion of a given quantity of gas. According to this author, 97 cubic inches of gas pro- duced an increase of 50° F. in 314 pounds of water. The calorific power per cubic meter would therefore be 10,000 calories.* This, however, is manifestly too high. Mr. F. Fischer, a German philosopher, adopted a similar plan for determining the compara- tive values of gas-burners. Under the most satisfactory practical conditions 0.974 cubic foot of gas was required to heat 22 pounds of water from 32° to 212° F., and Mr. Le- febvre, one of the engineers of the Paris Gas Co., found the minimum consumption of gas for the same result to be 1.126 cubic feet. The available heat in gas furnaces would therefore be at mcst equal to 3600 calories per cubic meter. If the coefficients of effect of the burner and boiler were known the calorific power of the gas could be deduced from these figures, but this method of valuation would be very indirect, and consequently inaccurate. Mr. Dugald Clerk has also estimated 504,888 and 489,- 268 foot-pounds per cubic foot as the me- chanical equivalents of Manchester (England) and London gas, which correspond to 5640 and §372 calories per cubic meter. It has hitherto been the general practice to accept 6000 calories per cubic meter as the average calorific power of gas, but the results of Mr. Witz’s researches indicate a considerably lower value. The heat of combustion of gases has gen- erally been estimated by their slow com- bustion in metallic vessels immersed in a calorimeter, but this plan is extremely tedious and liable to error. Mr. Berthelot introduced a more direct and more accurate method, consisting of the instantaneous com bustion of an explosive mixture in a closed vessel plunged in the water of a calorimeter, and observing very accurately the elevation | of temperatureg this plan was adopted in its general principles by Mr. Witz. ‘The explo- sion chamber consisted of a nickel-plated steel cylinder, 2 36 inches internal diameter, and 3.54 inches high, the thickness of the , metal being about 0.079 inch and having a capacity of 15.56 cubic inches, with top and bottom covers screwed on so as to render the cylinder air-tight, a wire being passed through the top cover for th. introduction | of an electric spark, and the bottom cover fitted with a valve for filling and emptying The calorimeter for the reception of the cylinder is nearly 4 inches diametir and 3 inches high ; it requires 1.76 pints of water |to submerge the cylinder; a means for |}agitating the water is also provided A | very sensitive and minutely divided thermom- eter is also required. ‘The cylinder is first | filled with mercury, which is displaced by | gas | the and air or other mixtures over the mercury bath, care being taken to reduce mixture to atmospheric pressure by | slightly raising the valve for an instant, and | careful arrangements are described for ac curately measuring the proportions of gas and air introduced. Before making the ex- | periments constants were carefully deter- |}mined for allowances to be made for the absorption of heat by the various parts of the apparatus ; these were made by direct experiments and verified by calculation As the result of a large number of experi |ments, made under varying conditions of Iron Works, with the most satisfactory re- | sults, for about eight months. The tempera tures they are graduated for vary according to the furnaces with which they are con nected, and the kind of work to which these are applied. « = ——— - Enormous amounts are paid by importers to save themselves from the payment of duties under alleged wrongful interpreta tions of the law. At the date when Secretary Manning was preparing his recent report on the collection of duties the number of im- | time, temperature and pressure, and with gas manufactured at various works, Mr Witz arrives at the following ce The average calorific power of well-purified illuminating gas, as generally stipulated for by the concessions of French gas companies, is about 5200 calories per cubic meter (equal to 584 British units per foot the standard of 6000 calories, generally accepted up to the present time, being therefore too mclusions cubie high The calorific power of gas from the same works was found to vary from 47 valories to 5425 calories at different period I Fr 4 (Concluded on page men ea aa ae cee At, CE, te 0 er Pr em ar a sa ee 2 ee we I PE 247 BA | a ¢ 6 LAR LNB ‘ THE IRON AGH.
