The present design is the outgrowth of much careful study and wide experience accumulated on the part of Messrs. Davis & Colby, and the record of its work at Katahdin and at Port Leyden, N. Y. Messrs. Pancoast & Rogers, of this city, sole agents for the patentees, describe its construction as follows : The Davis—Colby roaster consists of two circular walls, one within the other. In the outer wall are built 16 fire-arches for the in- gress of gas and air, and as many working doors for access to the ore. At the bottom are eight doors for withdrawing the ore when roasted. Within the kiln is a circular central flue opening directly into the draft- stack, its walls built of fire-brick and resting on the foundation. Built into the outer wall, and extending around tho kiln, is a flue for entry of gas; the gas passes from this flue into the arches through slots in the brick- work, and here, mixing with air, takes fire and generates an intense heat. The ore oc- cupies the annular space between the outer wall of the kiln and the wall of the central fiue. This annular space gradually enlarges toward the bottom to provide for the ex- pansion of the ore as heated, which is taken at will from the drawing-out doors at the bottom when roasted. The gas communi- cates its heat to the ore and passes partly upwerd through the overlying ore, but mainly through a series of small flues into the central flue, and thence to the stack, taking with it at once the liberated sulphur. A channel is left in the foundation through which a man can enter the interior of the kiln and clean the flues should they become obstructed. A bell and hopper are fitted at the top, and, with a crusher properly situ- ated, require but one man per turn to feed a kiln of 60 tons daily capacity. At the Katahdin Iron Works, Maine (with the exception of one year’s stoppage) this roaster has been in constant operation for the past six years, treating an ore contain- ing as it comes from the mine 4 per cent. sulphur; this amount, by the use of this roaster, is reduced to an average of 0.07. \ very large saving in fuel in the blast furnace is also effected by its use. The average improvement made in Katahdin pig iron by use of this roaster is shown by the following analyses, the ore and all the conditions, except the method of roast- ing, being the same in both cases : No. 4, pig iron ore roasted on No. 4, pig iron arches in the ore from Davis- open air.

One of the advantages of good roasting which the inventors do not, we believe, lay sufficient stress upon is the fact that it prepares the re, and magnetites particularly, better for reduction in the furnace, thus making the working of the latter a more favorable one. The cost of the kiln is placed at $1500 to $2500 for the range from 25 to 100 tons daily capacity. IEEE — The California Shell Trade. fhe sea-shell business of California is but litle known to the general trade. In fact, aside from those actually engaged in the trafic, but few persons know anything of its wagnitude or minutia. Los Angeles is the center of this trade. The Pacific Coast and ast islands, from Monterey in California \capulco in Mexico, with contributions trom China, Japan and the South Seas, furnish the product, and Europe is the market. France is the largest buyer, and text in the order named follow Germany, Be'gium, Holland and England. The prod- uct consists of mother-of-pearl, ‘the pearl er, brilliant or curious shells from an, China and the South Seas, the sev- varieties of abalone, aud a concholog- 1! medley known in business parlance as small shells.” nall shells command from $50 to $70 per pounds, and are found along the shores toe south coast and on the outlying ~ands, They reach California in sacks, ‘1 in sacks they are shipped to Europe, re they are used in the manufacture many curious and ornamental things. © mother-of-pearl, known to the trade as e Tahiti shell,” is the most valuable of ells. It is exquisitely beautiful, 5 to 8 es in diameter, round and flat, and over- 4 with a tender, milk-white, gleaming sur- that immediately challenges admira- _ Specimens of the Tahiti shell may be 1in some of the art windows of this city “\0 New York. They are usually displayed "2 @ sunburst, sunset or landscape PS:oted upon them, but the finest and most ‘<Tlect shells find their way to Europe. ~.‘her-of-pearl shells are found around and ““ tae coast of the island of Tahiti. They are deep-water shells; native divers rave | | barter. The divers display great daring and | fortitude, and many tales are told of the feats | | they perform and the dangers they encoun-| every 60 days by the Los Angeles firm, a three years’ contract to that effect having ter. Tales are told of divers who never re- turned, and who are supposed to have been devoured by marine monsters, or lost or en- | tangled in the labyrinthian windings of coral | caves. Tahiti shells are worth in lump, whole- sale, $1.50 to $4 each, and the finest selected shells are valued at $50 per pair. In Amer- ica Tahiti shells are marketed solely as arti cles of vertu, bric d-brac and curios. In Europe, however, they find additional use and value in the manufacture of rare and elegant articles of fancy, fashion, toilet and | jewelry, and in the creation of the most | costly inlaid-work. Thus metamorphosed | the shells of the ocean find their way back | to America, form a distinct trade and com- mand fabulous prices. Pearl oyster shells are next in value and importance. They are found along the Mexican coast, and their gathering and shipment form quite an | industry at La Paz. The pearl oyster is | never larger than an Eastern “‘ middling,” ' but differs very perceptibly in its conformation. It is flatter and more regular, and rows of ray-like grooves radiate from the thicker por- tion. These shells are used in the manufacture of pearl buttons, a trade confined al- a most exclusively to France. The value of the pearl oyster depends upon the vagaries of fashion. Of abalone shells there are three distinct varieties known to commerce—the blue-green of Mexico, the black of California, and the gray abalone common to the whole coast. Of these the Mexican variety is the most valuable. It is found clinging to cliffs, reefs and submarine rocks throughout the coast of Mexico from San Tomas, close to the American line, as Pos far south as Acapulco. Blue — green abalones are gathered by mestizos and brought to HH HH] Wilmington (San Pedro) by 4 traders and fishermen. The ry Mexican abalone approxi- mates in value the shells of Tahiti. They are shipped to the same markets and are ased in the same industries, The black abalone of Cali- fornia is the next most desira- ble of sea shells. To some minds it is the richest and most gorgeous of ali the shells of the sea. It is of a fine velvety black, and pos- sesses the same soft glimmer- ing luster that distinguishes the mother-of-pearl, and sometimes it is found varie- gated by lines and bars the TH most delicate imaginable, the bars seem-| for the product of that industry America| and 4.53 per cent. in 1882, ing to float in a mellowing prism of color pays millions annually to France, Germany, | rate also fluctuated between 4 and 5 per!

The Belgian Moniteur des Intéréts Matériels has published its usual annual review of the rates of discount in the "principal money markets of Europe. The lowest average | shown for last year is the Amsterdam rate, | 2.71 per cent., a rather remarkable fact con- sidering the narrowness of the Dutch gold supply and the frequent anxieties which the | large proportion cf its silver currency causes, | as well as the financial difficulties of its | Indian dependencies. The Dutch average | has steadily declined during the last four | years. In 1884 it was 3.19 per cent. ; in 1883, 4 14 per cent., and in 1882, 4.38 per| cent. Up to and including June last year | the Amsterdam rate was 3 per cent., and {since that month it has remained 2% per | cent. The next lowest average is shown by London, 2.91 per cent. The London aver- age has also declined continuously during | the last four vears; it was 2.53 in 1884, 3.54 in 1883, and 4.19 per cent. in 1882. During the year, however, it has been sub- ject to much greater fluctuations than the rate in any Continental center; it began at 5 per cent., receded to 4, 2% and 2 per cent., ‘and has latterly been quoted 3, and finally 4 percent. The Paris rate, 3 per cent., is the next low- est; it has also been the steadiest, having remained unchanged throughout the year. The average for 1884 was | also 3 per cent., for 1883 it | was 3.06 per cent. and 3.69 per cent. for 1882. Then comes the Brussels rate, which averaged 3.23 per| cent. last year. The Brus- | sels rate, like the London | rate, has also fluctuated a| good deal, from 4 at the} beginning of last year to 3% and 3 per cent., rising again to 4 per cent. in November | and declining to 3% per! cent. in December. In 1884 the Brussels average was 3.25 per cent., in 1883 3.46 per cent., and in 1882 3.98 per cent. The Vienna aver- | age last year was 4.04 per | cent., against 4.13, 4.16 and | 4.21 per cent. im 1554, 1553 and 1882 respectively. With the exception of the early part of January last, when 5 per cent. was quoted, it re- mained steadity at 4 per| cent. throughout the year. The Frankfort average was | last year 4.08 per cent., | against 4 per cent. in the} previous year, 4.04 per cent. in 1883, and 4.53 per cent. | in 1882; from January to} May it fluctuated between 5 | and 4, and since May it has | remained at 4 per cent. The | highest average for last year was that of Berlin, 4.14 per | cent., against 4 per cent. in| 1884, 4.04 per cent. in 1883 | The Berlin —brown, azure, saffron, and maroon, shot Belgium, Holland and England.

This shell is used in the same industries as the two before-mentioned varieties, and is worth, wholesale, $1000 per ton. The common gray abalone has a market value of $700 per ton. It is used in border- ing .and varying inlaid-work, in the mounting of costly furnitare and harness, and in the manufacture of knife-handles, | shawl-clasps and brooches. It is also used | by silversmiths and upholsterers, and enters into the make-up of numberless articles of | use and ornament. The shells are stored at | San Diego, San Pedro, Los Angeles and WOOD-WORKING MACHINERY BUILT BY dustry might be largely transferred to ou own shores were it not for the wide differ- ence existing in the cost of transportation as between New York, Boston, iladelphie, and Paris, Brussels and Hamburg. The freight charges by rail on 200 tons of shells from Los Angeles to Philadelphia amount to | $30, while the cost of shipping the same from San Pedro to Havre is $11.75. The difference in favor of Europe—$18.25— would plant and maintain the sbell-work- ing industry in America. in our land the millions sent out annually on that account, and provide profitable THE ROLLSTONE MACHINE It would keep Fig. 2.—New Panel Planer |are adjusted CO., FITCHBURG, MASS |that time remained at 4 per cent. Com menting on these averages, tke Brussels paper points out that for some years past there has been no indication of a coming steady and general enbancement of the value of money, and again predicts that | this year we shall see a still further general decline in the discount rates. Not only does the average tend to decline, but the fluctua- tions in general tend to become less wide and | severe. [he Paris rate, for instance, remained lat 3 per cent. throughout the year, and the abundant stock of currency in the Bank of | France, coupled with a decline in the port- | Santa Barbara, and are shipped as the trade | employment for thousands of our men, | folio of bills, affords no prospect of an ad-| demands.

The French Bank is empowered to issue 300 francs in notes, against 100 francs in coin and 200 franes in bills; whereas for every 300 francs of notes issued it holds too franes in gold, 100 franes in si ver and 100 francs in bills, With such prloportions its notes cannot be regarded as fiduciary or credit currency, but as repre sentatives of so much specie, or as actual gold and silver circulating in a more conven- ient form. In order to bring into view the possibility of an advance of the discount France under such circumstances, itis necessary to imagine a revival of purely credit speculation and a_ rapid increase of the commercial bills portfolio, instead of the continual decline actually in progress. With the existing tendency to higher pro- tective duties in France, however, there is | no probability of a return of brisk specula- tion or an increase of exchanges. Neither is there any prospect of an advance of the Vienna rate beyond 4 per cent. so long as Austria-Hungary continues under the régime of an incovertible paper currency. Turning to the more healthy markets—those in which there is more vitality—the Brussels paper sees no prospects of higher rates in Amsterdam with the reserves at present representing 70 per cent of the liabilities and the stock of bills tending to decrease. In Berlin also the reserve has increased, while the circulation and the portfolio of bills has declined, the proportion of reserves to liabilities having risen to 66 per cent. The Brussels market has been disturbed by the uncertainties re- specting the renewal of the Latin Union, but commercial paper has continued more demanded than offered. The reserve in the Bank of Belgium is large, and the reserves and portfolio of foreign bills are equivalent to 44 per cent. of the right engagements. | Finally, though the London market is at present rather stringent, the Brussels paper does not think that the situation is really grave. The position of the Bank of Eng- land was stronger with a 4 per cent. rate in December, 1885, than with a 5 per cent, rate in December, 1884. — a = New Wood-Working Machinery. In the accompanying engravings we show two new machines recently put on the mar- ket by the Rollstone Machine Co., of Fitch- burg, Mass. Fig 1 represents a tool de- scribed as a cane-seat side-rail jointer and doweler. It is all iron and steel in its construction and occupies a floor space ; feet. It is provided with iron carriages carrying 10 inch saws for cutting the stock to length. These car- riages are adjustable by means of hand- wheels and screws, each being independent of the other. The carriages slide on Y- tracks and are so arranged as to cut stock from 9% to 14 inches in length. The ma- chine is also provided with iron carriages for carrying dowel bits, each being independ- ent and being brought up to the work by means of a foot treadle and carried back by a weight. Each stand has two dowel bits and will work stock the same as the saws, namely, from 9% to 14 inches long. Car- riages are provided with oilcups for oiling the track. The machine is also provided with a track and two carriages for carrying the stock to the work. One of these is 9% The table on which the work is placed is provided | with a cam-clamp for holding the stock in place. The counter-shaft attached to the machine has tight and loose pulleys, 10 x 4% inches in size, drivers for the dowelers 16 x 6 inches, and drivers for the saws 20 x 4 inches. The machine appears to be well adapted for the purpose intended, and will no doubt be received with favor by the trade. Fig. 2 shows a panel planer. From a description furnished by the makers we glean the following particulars and special The frame is stiff, the sides being heavily ribbed and strongly braced, and the parts through- |out so combined as to insure rigidity Tbe bed runs on planed slides which are arranged with jibs to take up the wear. The bed is raised and lowered by two screws which are operated by three gears and the hand-wheel shown underneath the bed. The two feed-rolls are 1 % inches in diameter The entering roll is flutedand the drawing-out roll plain. They are geared together and are held down by four rubber springs which by four pressure screws. Pressure-bars are provided both back and front of cylinder to assist in holding the stock. The cylinder is made from a solid steel forging, and is planed, with lips which come close to the cutting edges of the knives. The knives swing in a 34-inch circle. The bearings are long and run in boxes lined with Babbitt metal. The cylinder pulley is 5 inches in diameter and 4 inches wide. It is caleulated to make 4000 revolu tions per minute. At the bottom of the machine is a feed-shaft which is run froma pulley on the extreme end of the cylinder shaft. This transmits by two coned pulleys two changes of speed to the feed rolls. The feed is stopped and started by lever and clutch gear. These planers are built to plane 12 and 20 inches in width, as re quired.
