S2.50 a ear, Tneluding Tostaoee Stngle Coptes, Ten Cents. A New Horizontal Molder The Egan Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio, are now building an improved 6-inch hori- zontal molder, shown on this page. The improvements made in this machine will be readily appreciated by those interested in wood-working machinery, and the tool will be found superior in many respects to some of the old-fashioned machines now in use. The frame is cast in one piece, making it very stiff and strong, all of its parts being in accurate proportion for great strength and strain. The bed is gibbed into the frame, and is raised and lowered by a crank, the table being instantly adjusted to any depth down to 16 inches, a point which will be appreciated in working base-boards or very wide lumber, molding, &c., on one edge. The mandrel is of the very best cast steel, and runs in patent self-oiling boxes lined with genuine Babbitt metal. An extra grade of Babbitt metal and steel is used, as the head runs at very high speed and should be lubricated in the most perfect manner. The frame which holds the head is adjusted horizontally across the face of the table, so as to adjust itself exactly to the molding being worked. The head is of steel, slotted on all four sides, and any kind of a bit can be placed on this head. Solid milled bits for any special pur- pose can be made for the machine, and they will work better and cleaner than any flat bit filed up for that purpose. Solid milled bits are specially recommended where users have special patterns which they want par- ticularly well done. The feed is powerful and is geared in the most improved manner. The rolls are held down with improved springs and can be adjusted to suit the work being done. For carpenters, planing mills, slat manufacturers, trunk-makers, buggy-men, or for any work of that class, the machine is of special advantage and is recom- mended in the highest manner, as light small moldings of all kinds can be made on it and finely finished. The counter-shaft has tight and loose pulleys 8% inches in diameter, 4%-inch face, which should run 675 revolutions ‘per minute. Every part of the machine is convenient for adjustment. dennis ee Stream Gauging. Referring to some recent stream gauging for the future water supply of Philadelphia, Mr. H. W. Sanborn, in a paper presented to the Engineers’ Club of Philadelphia, de- scribed the methods used and why they were adopted. The streams gauged were the Perkiomen Creek and tributaries in Mont- yomery County, the Neshaminy and tribu- taries and the Tohickon in Bucks County. The original intention was to gauge the minimum flow only, and for that purpose weirs were constructed on eight different streams. They were very substantially built, as they had to withstand the run of ice in the spring of the year. Heavy bed logs were placed at the level of the bed of the stream and the superstructure built on that. They were made water-tight either by sheeting placed below the bed log to rock bottom or a cement mortar wall. The crests of the weirs were generally about 2 feet above the beds of the streams, and were made of 2-inch oak plank. Gauge-boards were placed about 5 feet above and below the weirs, and connected by levels with the same. The one above indicated the depth of water on the crest. The one below was used mly in case the weir was submerged by high water. The weirs varied in length from 15 to 70 feet, according to the width of the stream. The formula used for calcu- lating the flow over the weir was the one by Fteley & Stearns, of the Ameri- an Society of Civil Engineers. Stream- auge stations were established near the weirs. Readings were taken there at the same time that they were at the eirs. When a sufficient number of read- ngs at various hights were made, a ‘‘ curve if flow ” was plotted bya comparison of the two. Then, when the crests of the weirs were removed for the winter, the flow was found by referring the stream-gauge read- ngs to the ‘‘ curve of flow.” The great fluctuation in the flow of the streams, caused by the great number of mills on them, necessitated a great many observa- tions at the weirs to get a correct gauging. his difficulty was overcome by the use of automatic gauges. They were run by clock- work, and drew a line on a roll of paper, rresponding to the rise and fall of the tream. Two descriptions of gauges were ised. One was designed chiefly by Mr. Stierle, of the United States Engineers’ ‘fice, Philadelphia. The minimum flows were found to be so small that the larger lows had to be determined. These had to be found by other methods, for the weirs would only carry, at the most, 2 feet in lepth, while the water in the streams some- times raised as high as 16 feet. The meas- urements of the large flows were made istly by the use of electric-current meters. ‘he measuremements had to be made from bridges, and, where none existed in proper ‘aces, small suspension bridges were put up. One was built over the Perkiomen, at ‘rederick, of 120 feet span, and one over the Neshaminy, at Rush Valley, of 133 feet pan. By means of the meter the velocity f the water was taken at a great number f places in a line across the stream, and a | ‘ose estimate of the velocity of the whole Cross-section determined. Stream gauges |to decay. jing by its annual |age of 570 years. were placed near the meter stations, to be read when measurements were made, an swering the same purpose as those connected with the weirs. In some cases large flows were measured by getting the velocity of the stream by means of pole floats. When used care was taken to have the length of them as near the depth of the water as possible, and they were run at as many stations across the stream as was necessitated by the changes in the even flow of the stream. The rise and fall of the water during freshets were so sud scattered—the water-sheds covering 500 | square miles--that it was impossible to get to and make measurements of more than one or two streams during a freshet. many times the, freshets would come in the night, and nothing could be done but the taking of continuous readings of the stream gauges. To overcome these difficulties and get at least fair measurements of all the streams at the high point of a freshet, ‘* maximum stream gauges ” were set up on most of the streams. A place was chosen where the bed of the stream was uniform in width and slope, and two similar gauges set up. They were usually from 200 to 500 feet apart. They were made in the form of a box from 8 to 12 feet long, and 6 inches | A NEW HORIZONTAL square inside. They were placed on end and shielded and supported by heavy timbers imbedded in the soil or bolted to the rock bottom. Ver- tically through the center of the box ran a brass rod, which was graduated. A metal- lic float ran on the rod in such a manner that it would rise with the water, but would remain fixed on the rod at the highest point the water reached after it had fallen. The two gauges were connected by levels, and from the gauge readings the slope of the water was determined. From this the velocity of the stream was found by the Kut- ter formula. Three automatic rain gauges were used to show the intensity of the storms. _ EE — SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL. The Age of Trees. The Prussian Chief Forester Gericke, in a recent number of the Forstliche Blatter, de- clares it to be a fable that there are trees in the German forests which have lived for a thousand years. Even the so-called “ his- torical trees,” he says, to which an age of 700 to 800 years is imputed, are nothing but ‘** hollows surrounded with bark, vegetating | only as ruins.” No tree can reach so great an age in Central Europe and remain healthy. He has been at the pains to make inquiries at all the German, Austrian and Russian forest academies; and, comparing their reports with his own long researches, he has compiled a table of the comparative ages of the different sorts of trees in Central Europe. The highest age is attained by the pine ; but after it has reached the limit of sound life it declines more rapidly than any of the leaf trees, which cuntinue vegetation long after they have begun The oldest pine tree, judg- rings, reaches an The next in age, the white fir of the Bohmerwald, is 429 years |old. The larch, in Bavaria, was at its oldest |in 274 years. The oldest sound oak, which is at Ascheffenburg, is 410 years of age. The oldest red beech, also at Aschaffenburg, is 245. The highest point of healthy age with other leaf trees is as follows: The mountain maple, in Bavaria, 224 years; the birch, 160 to 200 years, in Finland ; the ash, den, and the stations, 11 in number, were so | Then, | | 170 years, in Silesia ; the elm, 130 years, in | Silesia; the aspen tree, 219 years. The most frequent among the so-called ‘‘ histor |ical trees” in Germany are lime trees | (linden). The renowned Linden of Neu stadt-on-the-Kocher, in Wurtemburg, is known by the local chronicle to have had its branches supported by 67 strong staves in | | the year 1448, so that it must even then | have been a venerable tree. It has now | seven horizontal branches, which are sup | ported at from 5 to 7 feet from the ground by stone columns. It is reputed to be over 700 years old, but it can hardly be said to be alive ; by internal as well as external masonry. | Carbonic Acid in the Liquid and the Solid State The employment of liquefied carbonic-acid |gas for various manufacturing operations | has resulted in the development of a new | industry. For many years after Davy and | Faraday had succeeded in effecting the liq- uefaction of this gas, and even after Nat terer, of Vienna, had devised a special ap |paratus for the purpose, the process was | regarded merely in the light of a lecture | experiment, and was only usefully employed for the production of very low tempera- tures. Attention was first directed to the i | te a | nil : m " ti WUT MOLDER, BUILT BY THE EGAN Ci One side opened as a door. | subject in connection with the plans for | |raising the armor-clad ship, the Grosser | Kurfiirst in 1878. The first practical exper- | iment in this direction was carried out at | Kiel in 1879, when, by means of about 40 | kg. of liquid carbonic acid inclosed in a re- | ceiver, to which was attached on empty bal- | loon formed of sail-cloth coated with india- | rubber, a block of stone weighing 316 cent- . tons) was raised to the surface in it is quite hollow, and is supported | into the beer casks, all putrefactive pro cesses are avoided and the beer is drawn in a bright and sparkling condition. Eight kg. of the compressed gas are sufficient for the delivery of 24 to 30 hl. of beer. The pressure exerted by liquid carbonic acid varies in accordance with the tempera ture, thus : Atmosphere. At 79° C. the pressure 1.2 At 10° C. the pressure = 27.5 At-+- 5° C. the pressure 40.! ( r ( At + 20° C, the pressure = 58.8 } At + 30° C. the pressure 73.0 All danger in the storage of the com pressed gas is avoided by the testing of the cylinders (which are made of wrought iron) to 250 atmospheres before they are filled, and the receivers are furnished with a safety-valve, weighted to a little over 1% atmosheres pressure, and these are all tested to five atmospheres. Although between 6000 and 7000 cylinders of the liquefied gas have been sent out and have been used for the most part by unskilled persons, there have been no accidents of any kind. The price of a cylinder of the liquid is 16 marks. 3y removing the pressure or allowing the liquefied gas to escape into a woolen bag an intense cold is produced and a sufli- cient amount of heat is abstracted to cause a portion of the remaining liquid to freeze 4, CINCINNATI, OHIO. into crystals, resembling snow. These frozen needles can be brought, by means of slight pressure, into solid lumps resembling chalks, which are specifically heavier than water, and which by increased pressure can be obtained of a specific gravity of 1.5. By surrounding this solidified carbonic acid with a bad conductor it may be preserved for as much as 15 hours, during which time it is, of course, being gradually dispersed in the eight minutes after the tap opening the | gaseous form. communication from the receiver to the bal- loon was turned by adiver. The success of this experiment led to the proposal to found a company for the raising of sunken vessels on this system, but the scheme came to nothing, partly because of the difficulty at that time of preducing the liquid in large quantities at a cheap rate. Subsequently, Mr. F. A. Krupp, of Essen, used this fluid for the production of low temperatures for shrinking out the cores of cannons and for the compression of molten metal in the molds. He obtained in this way a pressure of 75 atmospheres, and was able to produce much more solid and dense castings than before. In consequence of the steady improvement in the pumping appara- tus employed at Essen for the compression of the gas, and the production of the liquid in large quantities, it became possible, owing | to its cheapness, to make use of it for beer raising and in the manufacture of artificial mineral waters. In the course of time the firm of Kunheim & Co., of Berlin, took the matter in hand and turned the scientific facts to industrial account. Their business | was taken over by the Berlin Co., for the carbonic-acid manufacture, which has been | most successful, and now produces daily 80 | cylinders, each containing 8 kg. or 640 kg. (1411 pounds) of liquid carbonic acid, equal to 320,000 liters of gas. This is employed for beer raising in the same way as com- | pressed air was formerly made use of. The cylinder of liquid is attached to a receiver, and on turning the tap connecting the two vessels the liquid rushes in, and expands in so doing into the gaseous form. In afew seconds this gas attains a pressure in the larger vessel of 1!4 atmospheres, and the tap is then closed. ‘The pipes conducting to the beer casks are subsequently opened, and the earbonic-acid gas flows into the casks with a | pressure sufficient for the drawing off of the | |beer, As only pure carbonic-acid gas passes | Metals, Fluid and Solid, Prof. Chandler Roberts—Austen, F.R.S, recently delivered a discourse at the Royal Institution, London, England, on ‘ Certain Properties Common to Fluids and Solid Metals.” He pointed out that, although the characteristics of solid metals and of fluids appear at first sight to be widely different, there is much experimental evidence show- ing that under certain conditions solid metals behave like fluids. The phenomena attending the passage of metals from the fluid to the solid state were first dealt with, and the beautiful experiment of Van Riems- dijk, showing that pure gold on freezing be- haved like water—that is, it may be cooled below its solidifying point without becoming solid. When, however, by agitation, the metal sets, it becomes brilliantly luminous, owing to the liberation of the latent heat of fusion. Passing to solid metals, Professor Roberts—Austen referred to a forgotten ex- periment made by Louis Lemery in 1726, |showing that lead when cast in a peculiar form is sharply sonorous, and he alluded to Réaumur’s experiments on this subject, which proved that hammering on the trans- fer of matter from one position to another by flow alters the shape of the grains and the way in which they touch one anoégher, and leaves them, in the hammered lead, no longer free to vibrate. The results obtained by the late M. Tresca on the flow of solid metals were then fully dealt with, and the lecturer passed to the elaborate investiga- tions of Professor W. Spring, of Liége, on the compression of finely-divided metals into solid blocks. He repeated many of M. Spring’s experiments, obtaining crysta)line bismuth under a pressure of 6000 atmos- pheres, and building up the alloy fusible metal, which fused at 100° C. from the powders of its constituent metals, which have much higher melting points. The im Ca ne rn ec a a | portance of the recognition of the flow of metals in science, in art, and in industry was then referred to, and some observations | by Mr. Baker, the engineer of the Forth sridge, were alluded to as showing the im port and beneficial effect of compression on the mechanical properties of steel destined to be used for certain purposes. Professor Roberts-Austen concluded by showing that as regards absorption of gas, diffusion, vaporization and surface tension, solid metals present close analogies to fluids. Expansion Produced by mation, Atarecent meeting of the Physical So- ciety a paper on ‘‘ The Expansion Produced by Amalgamation,” by Professors Ayrton and Perry, was read. It had been accident- ally observed by the authors that the amal- gamation of brass is accompanied by great expansive force. If one edge of a straight, thick brass bar be amalgamated it will be found that in a short time the bar is curved, the amalgamated edge being always convex and the opposite concave. The authors imagine that a similar action may be the primary cause of the phenomena presented by the Japanese ‘‘ magic mirrors.” Jap anese mirrors are made of bronze and have a pattern cast upon the back, and although to the eye no trace of it can be discov- ered upon the polished reflecting surface, yet when light is reflected by certain of these mirrors on to a screen the pattern is distinctly visible in the luminous patch formed. In a paper read before the Royal Society they have shown that this is due to the polished side opposite the thinner parts of the casting being more convex than the others, a conclusion verified by the fact that the pattern is reversed when formed by a convergent beam of light. Such a condi- tion of things would evidently result from a uniform expansive stress taking place over the reflecting surface, the thinner and con- sequently the weaker parts becoming more convex or less concave than the others. The authors have hitherto attributed this in- equality of curvature to a mechanical dis- tortion to which the mirrors are intention- ally submitted during manufacture to pro- duce the general convexity of the polished surface, but they now think it possible that the use of a mercury amalgam in the process of polishing may have an effect in the pro- duction of this inequality of curvature. Amaliga- — oe - The Brake Question in France. The French Government has not been slow to take the necessary steps with refer ence to the brake question and the Monte Carlo disaster. The debate in the Chamber has had the effect of stimulating the Gov- ernment to take further measures for in creasing safety in railway-working. The following circular has been issued by the Minister of Public Works and forwarded to all the French railway companies : “Gentlemen: In accordance with the opinion of the commission instituted in 1879 for the purpose of investigating the means of preventing railway accidents, a ministerial circular of September 13, 1880, prescribed, among other measures, ‘ the fitting up with continuous brakes of all passenger trains which at their highest speed reach 60 km. (37% miles) per hour, and, in addition to this, the continuance of the counter-pressure system.’ “‘If the administration in the first in- stance thus limited the use of these brakes, it was solely, as mentioned in another cir- cular of 24th January, 1885, with the object of not forcing the companies to face in too short a time the considerable expenses which would have been required for the immediate equipment of all their express trains. But as at this moment the installations pre- scribed bythe circular of 1880 have been completed, and since all vehicles forming fast and express trains are fitted with con- tinuous brakes, the moment appears to me to have arrived when the application of this appliance should be extended to all vehicles forming part of passenger trains. I have therefore to beg you to undertake the appli- cation of continuous brakes to all passenger carriages, and all other vehicles run in ex press trains, such as luggage vans, mail vans, horse boxes, carriage trucks, milk wagons, fish trucks and fruit trucks, &c.; and, to carry on this work with the neces sary expedition, to insure that after a period of two years at the furthest all passenger trains, including therein also omnibus trains, are provided with continuous brakes. I beg you also, in the same period, to fit continu ous brakes, and the counter-pressure ap- paratus, on all engines intended for the service of these trains.” - eg Merlett, at Stiahlau, Austria, gives the following as an excellent method for re- storing burnt tool steel, which, he says, has been tested many times: Melt in a crucible three parts by weight of pure colophonium, and, slowly stirring, add two parts by weight of good boiled linseed oil. Particular care must be taken in doing this, because at a high temperature the mixture is easily ig nited. Finally, a dark-brown mass of the consistency of syrup is obtained, which, after cooling, is kept near the smith’s fire, in a closed pot, for use. Any piece of steel, however burnt, dipped red-hot into the liquid is restored to its original quality, and if the operation is repeated is even im proved The steel is hardened best at a dark-red heat in rain water, ee ee mee a me owe a ln MT. £4... 4.8 ee ee J ee eee one ae te os se oo a rr rei — - f= r- ~ +-— = E 2 THE a.
