It is also valuable for cutting sheets to speci- fied sizes on special orders. Manufacturers of kitchen boilers, tanks, sheet-iron pipes, &e., find it an almost indispensable machine for the economical manufacture of their pro- ductions. As will be seen by the illustration, the machines are very substantially built and simple in construction. That they have proved very serviceable is attested by the numerous orders for them that have been filled by the manufacturers, Messrs. E. W. Bliss Co., of Brooklyn, N. Y. Two styles of these machines are built for cutting iron and steel up to inch in thickness. One of these will cut up to 9 feet in length ; the other, with overhanging cutter-bar, will |the design would be a dead copper color | upon a white ground.

This principle, as has been explained in repeated references to the subject, was discovered recently by an Eng lish scientist, Francis Galton, and consists substantially in producing a photograph which is an embodiment of a number of It is done by taking the photo | . er | graphs of each subject separately, giving Iron describes a lamp recently brought | out in London for underground use: This lamp consists of a metal casing 7 inches high | | by 3% inches wide and 3 inches deep from | front to back, and which contains the bat- |tery. Projecting from the front of the case |is a three-candle glow lamp of German |}make, which is properly protected, and has a reflector. three cells, each 6 inches by 3 inches by 1 inch, and each cell consists of a packet of chloride of silver and two thin zinc plates with a weak solution of caustic potash. This battery produces an excellent light of trim a sheet of any length or cut strips of | three-candle power, and which, it is stated, any width up to 18% inches. In both styles | will last nine hours. There is, however, no the motion of the cutter-bar is taken directly | waste of the elements, but at the end of that from a forged steel crank-shaft, without the intervention of levers or other devices. The cutters are made in one piece up to 9 | feet in length of the best wrought iron with | steel-cutting faces, and are carefully hard- ened and accurately ground by means of special appliances built for the purpose. They are made interchangeable, so that at any time new cutters may be ordered which will tit the machines. The cutter-bar is cast very heavy, is ribbed to prevent springing, and is so arranged that the cutters may be easily adjusted, when worn, by regrinding. An automatic clutch is provided on the main crank-shaft, which, when the treadle is de- pressed, allows the cutter-bar to make one | stroke. This contrivance has been for years | in use on the power presses manufactured | by Messrs. Bliss Co., and they state that | thousands of them are in successful opera. | tion. It acts without noise or jar, is positive | in its action, is made of steel‘and is claimed | to be the most durable device of the kind in | the market. For cutting plates up to % inch in thick- | ness gearing is not required, the belt being | applied directly to the balance-wheel on the | crank-shaft, but for any greater thickness an extra shaft with a heavy gear is pro-| vided, as shown in the illustration. In order to hold the sheet se- curely in place while being cut, a heavy clamping bar is placed (a just in front of the cut- ters, which is brought by a cam motion down upon the sheet, firmly holding it while beiny cut, after which it is automatically raised, releasing the sheet. It is made adjustable to allow for variation in thickness of sheets. In the straight-side shears, which are used both for trimming the . sides and squaring the ends of sheets, ad- justable gauges are provided on extension arms in front parallel with the cutters, so that after one edge is trimmed and the sheet reversed the trimmed edge may be placed against the gauge and the opposite edge trimmed parallel with it. A side gauge is also provided exactly at right angles with the cutters, so that after the sides are trimmed they may be placed against these end gauges and the ends of the sheets trimmed square with them. In the over- hanging shear, which is intended to trim sheets longer than the cutters, there is pro vided, in addition to the front gauge, a side gauge which is in line with the cutters, so that a long sheet, after having a portion of its side trimmed, may be moved along and so gauged that the second cut will be in line and true with the first. ’ rr EEE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL. Ktching Metallic Surfaces. Improvements in etching metallic surfaces have recently been patented in England by a Mr. A. Piper, of Wolverhampton. The arti- ce under treatment is coated or plated b the ordinary mode of electro-plating wi gold, silver, nickel, brass, copper, &c., upon the surface of which deposit the required design is painted with an acid-resisting sub- stance, and those parts not required to be ornamented are protected with the same substance. The article is then immersed in an acid which eats away the coating or plating from the unprotected parts, at the same time producing a frosted or dead sur- face upon the naked metal upon those parts. The chloride deposited by the acid is re- moved by simply dipping in aquafortis. The acid-resisting substance is then removed ‘by washing in a spirit or in oil, which leaves the design standing in relief, and of the color of the metal with which it was coated or plated, upon a frosted or dead ground of the color of the base metal. Thus, if the article be copper-plated with silver, the design would be white upon a dead copper ground, Or the effect may be onl NEW POWER SQUARING AND time the chloride of silver becomes concen- trated into pure silver, and is revivified by | ticians, artists and poets. being washed in a solution of nitric and hydro- chloric acids. This restores the silver to its active condition, and it is replaced in the bat- tery for futher use. The current given off by this battery is in excess of the requirements of the miner; but smaller lamps are made, notably one of circular form 3 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep, and of two-candle power, burning for five hours. Another, of the quadrangular type, is 6 inches high, and of three-candle power, but only burning for seven hours and a half. The cells are her- metically sealed, so that there is no fear of escape of the liquid portion of the contents, and the lamp can be inclined at any angle without fear of extinction. This cannot be said of the ordinary miner’s oil lamp, which is calculated to cost very much more for maintenance than the new electric lamp. The miner can hang the lamp up or carry it in his hand or belt, and he can be allowed to The battery is composed of | TRIMMING each plate, however, only a fractional and proportionate amount of the time requisite for its proper development. For instance, if six plates are to be utilized in making up the composite, and each plate would ordi- narily be given 30 seconds’ exposure, the exposure is reduced in each case to five sec onds, so that the resulting composite will be made up from these indistinct originals. In | this way only these features which are com mon to all of the originals appear distinctly | in the composite, while the divergencies and irregularities are lost. The discoverer ob- | tained remarkable results in securing types of criminals, persons afflicted with pulmo- | nary troubles, family likenesses, &c. Subse- | quently the application was extended to SHEARS, BUILT BY Germany to embrace ‘‘ ideal” mathema- In this country it has been utilized by Mr. W. Curtis Taylor and others for producing an ideal, or proba- bly typical, photograph of Washington, the ideal scientific man, &c. Dr. Frazer was given 18 checks, the sig- natures to which were admitted to be genuine. These he divided into three groups, accord- ing to the size of the handwriting. Some of the checks were used in two groups, so that each one of the three composites was made up of about a dozen checks. The result was that in each one of the plates the signature ‘Clark & Co.” was quite distinct, the only indistinct and superfluous lines being about the first two letters. Judge Hanna, before whom the audit took place, said that the plates where certainly trustworthy guides, and that he regarded the discovery as a very | important one in connection with the identity of handwriting.

Referring to errors in thermometer indi- cations, owing to pressure upon the glass bulb containing the mercury, Messrs. E. P. Venable and J. W. Gore, in a recent issue of Science, write that no reference to cor- rections covering this case could be found by them, and that, accordingly, they resorted aie W. BLISS CO., to experiment to test the amount of possible error. A few experiments, carried out with some fine Geissler thermometers, showed for a spherical bulb an increase of 0,16° F., and for a cylindrical bulb an increase of 0 27° F. for an additional atmosphere of pressure. Clearly, the amount of increase will depend upon the nature of the glass bulb, its thick- ness, size and shape. Many observations on vapor pressure, on boiling points under in- creased or diminished pressure, meteorolog- ical observations at unusually high stations or in mines, are subject to this correction ; and, as no general correction will be satisfactory, each thermometer will have to be separately tested. Fluting Stone by Machinery. A new process for smoothing, polishing and fluting stone by machine-power without the use of edge tools is now being tried in England. This process consists essentially in causing a revolving or reviprocating surface of iron to alternately bear against the surface of the stone to be worked, and then parted from it sufficiently to receive a layer of fresh sand and water between the rubbing surface and the rubbed. The rubbing surface is held down by a spring, but at intervals is raised from the rubbed suface by an eccen- tric cam. For fluting and similar operations a series of round bars of wrought iron are mounted in bearings and made to revolve; at the same time they are given a recipro- cating movement. The block of stone to be fluted is placed on a trolley and run under the bars. Sand is sprinkled automatically over the bars or rollers as they revolve. | For recessing, edge molding and similar pur- poses rubbing disks are mounted on vertical spindles arranged to lift automatically for about half a revolution in every four. Sev- eral different types of machines are now in actual operation. An advantage claimed for this process of working over hand labor with hammer and chisel, or machine work where cutters are forced into stone, is that the sur- A stream flowing ;cent. less than similar work produced by | hand, | paper writes as follows: dA LRM IIT . — CU! BROOKLYN, N.Y. ‘unstunned,’’ and better capable of with standing atmospheric influences. It is stated that fluted, recessed and ornamental stone is now being sold by the inventors at 75 per Relative Strength of Wet and Dry Timber, In reply to a statement by the American ‘*In September, 1876, the Lanesboro Mills, Lanesboro, Minn., burned, and that fall we rebuilt them and began making flour the next March. We used sawed pine (taken out of the Mississippi River) for joists, 3 x 12 inches, 12 feet long, and sized them, laying them on top of the girders, to get their full strength, and then used 7%-match flooring. The joists were placed 12 inches from center to center, leav- ing 9 inches between them. In the fall of 1877 we piled wheat on the floor 26 feet deep in the bins, and the joists, yet wet and green, only sagged a trifle, and carried the immense weight safely. Two years later the same joists were dry, from the heat of our very large stove. We loaded the floor with 24 feet of wheat, and six joists broke off nearly square in the middle, and others were cracked. In the first instance the bins held 360 tons of wheat while the joists under them were green. When the joists were dry 300 tons or less broke several of them. This shows that green pine is stronger than dry pine, as the wool becomes brash or brittle i drying, and is not as strong as when green. This is caused by the sap drying and leaving only solid matter in the capillary tubes, and they cannot move one on another, while if the timber is green the tubes are full of water, and can bend or move one on another. I know of but two kinds of wood that are stronger dry than | green, and they are maple and white oak.” - a | The Technical School, at Sheflield, Eng- | land, was formally opened a few cays ago, nearly $60,000 having been collected for this object. On the basement story there is a metallurgical laboratory fitted up with eight wind and four muffle furnaces, with benches, sand baths and all necessary ap- pliances for a complete metallurgical course. This laboratory is one of the most complete in Great Britain, measur ing 42 feet 9 inches by 35 feet, and is 21 feet high. Adjoining there are separate balance stores and attendance rooms, There is also a room for the professor and a preparation room. On the same floor is the metal-testing room and a mechanics’ shop. In the latter there are two g-inch sliding = surfac- ing and screw cutting lathes, two 6-inch ditto and one §'%-inch ditto, a planing machine 8 feet by 2 feet 6 inches, a shaping machine with two tables, a vertical drilling machine, fitters’ vises and benches for additional students. On the first floor there is a commodious pat- tern shop containing a circular saw, a 6-inch treadle lathe, with joiners’ benches and all necessary bench tools. Adjoining are an engineering laboratory, a mining-lecture room, two classrooms and students’ library and reading-room. The upper story is de- voted to engineering drawing. The draw- ing office, 97 feet 6 inches ong by 27 feet wide, is furnished with desks, cupboards, and every convenience for drawing-oflice practice. Adjoining there are a machine construction lecture-room, a _ professor's room and a room for mounting drawings. A wing of the main building contains a 20- horse-power vertical tubular steel boiler, with an engine adapted to work either as a simple high-pressure, a compound or a con- densing engine, and otherwise adapted for experimental work. Near the engine-house there is a smith’s shop and foundry. In an other part of the building there are two rooms fitted with cases containing specimens of minerals and metallurgical products, models of engineering contrivances and other objects of interest. From estimates which are not complete Bradstreet’s makes the total production of coal in the United States last year as 96,931,- 775 tons, against 99,143,013 tons in 1884, 96, 874,847 in 1883 and 86,849,116 in 1882. Of the total production last year 65,308,246 tons were bituminous and 31,623,529 anthracite. The production of bituminous coal in 1884 was 68,424,720 tons, so there was a falling off in 1885 of more than 3,000,000 tons Pennsylvania produced two and one-half times as much of this coal as any other State, the estimate being 25,000,000 tons, or an increase of 1,000,000 tons over 1884. The falling off was chiefly in Illinois, which is the second State in production, and other Western States, while those of the South, with the exception of Tennessee and Georgia, slightly increased the output, ‘os — : 4 % - aw FT £& a” i ar 4 «ces dar a 45 users - Seal we re ow we eS A ‘2 THH IRON AGE.
