We show on this page a new automatic railway cut-off saw designed and built by the Egan Company, of Cincinnati, Ohio. The frame of this tool is cast whole, or in other words cored out; is very broad and strong and well fitted for strength. The slides on which the mandrel moves are cast on thé frame, making a very solid and durable bearing for the yoke which carries the saw. The mandrel is cf cast steel, and the boxes and bearings are self-oiling and lined with Babbitt metal. The mandrel, moreover, is furnished with an expansion device, enabling the operator to use saws of different size holes and yet run true. Any saw up to 20inches can beused. The stroke or travel of the saw can be instantly regu- lated from a movement of 1 inch to 31 inches, and the speed attained in cutting off either heavy or light work is remarkable, One man, it is claimed, will do the work of three, and do it more accurhktely, and with one-fourth the labor formerly exerted. A belt tightener is placed in front of the machine, so that an endless belt can be used and any stretch taken up. This makes the cutting power of the saw very reliable. The table is very beavy and solid, being well ribbed and braced. It rests on two brackets cast one on each side of the machine. The fence is adjustable and can be used on the front or back of the table. For mills re- quiring long tables for long stuff a machine without an iron table is recommended, and then a long wood table can be built when the machine is set. LLL Mineral Wealth of Northeast Georgia. Probably the most unknown section of the United States up to within a few years past was Western North Carolina and Northeast Georgia. Here these regions of wild, high mountains lay, within a few miles of the seacoast and in 30 hours’ ride of New York City, yet up to 1870 there were thousands of acres in the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevadas more thoroughly explored and bet- ter known. Years ago the great botanist, Michaux, wrote of its wonderful flora ; Mitchell, of the North Carolina University, talked and wrote in vain of its mineral wealth, and later Guyot established the dis- puted fact that here were the highest moun- tains east of the Mississippi. The construc- tion of the Western North Carolina Railroad opened that section to tourist and scientist, and the same work is now being done for the Northeast Georgia country by construc- tion of the Marietta and North Georgia Rail road. This railroad is to commence at Mari- etta, Ga., and terminates at Murphy, N. C., with a branch to Ducktown, Tenn. It is al- ready constructed to within 30 miles of Mur- phy and 12 miles of Ducktown. Its entire grade is made for a standard-gauge road, and the cross-ties are alsoso made ; hence, though now a 3-foot gauge, it could be rapidly changed. The Western North Carolina Road and its western division to Murphy are both standard gauge. Such are the possibilities of transportation rapidly entering this hitherto unknown re- gion, the question arises, What is there there for these railroads? Of all the railroads yet builtin the State of Georgia, the Mari- etta and North Georgia is the one which will most extensively and specially develop the mineral wealth of the State. The great State road, now called the Western and Atlantic, passes near a few good limonite beds, and for the want of a better transpor- tation has been the carrier of a large quan- tity of iron ore and manganese, also of lime and cement. But it can only touch the great mineral body by branch roads. The county of Cherokee, Ga., has for many years had a high reputation for gold ; in magnetic iron ore many specimens are to be found on the surface, at one point of great richness and with every appearance of a vein, but none has been found, probably from want of exploration. A pecu- liar feature of the Southern people is that in some instances, as of iron ore or coal, they will spend but little in exploration and accept surface indications one way or the Other as a finality, while around the illusion of gold they will spend thousands in digging n yellow mica or sulpburet of iron under the direction of some traveling quack. In this way the true wealth of North Georgia | has been neglected. There are also im Chero- kee County a number of large limonite de- | posits, chiefly on the north side of Etowah River. | The first great development of mineral wealth, if it may so be called, which has been the outgrowth of the construction of | the railroad is the marble quarries of Pick- | ens County. It is not probably a proper sub- ject for an article in The Iron Age, but the marble is of the best quality and in practi- cally inexhaustible quantity. As an out- crowth of these quarries are the large | marble dressing works near Marietta. The capital in the quarries is from Chicago and Obio; that in the dressing and sawing works from Boston—one of the principal Owners of the railroad and of these works being the proprietor of the Boston Herald. | What will follow this just-named develop- ment can only be conjectured, but with the abundance and purity of the iron ores there is the possibility at least of a furnace at Marietta, where the large amount of débris from the marble works would furnish ample flux, while coke could be brought from Ten- | Self-Feeding Railway Cut-Off Saw. | nessee. Should the Marietta and North Georgia continue their line across to the Georgia Division of the East Tennessee, Vir- ginia and Georgia and the Georgia Pacific, as they intend to do, it would afford the pos- sibility of sending these magnetites and pure hematites to Birmingham, and also of bring- ing coke from that region. The connection of this road to Ducktown will make it possible to bring out at low rates the large bodies of cupriferous pyrites for the manufacture of sulphuric a and undoubtedly cause the erection of works for smelting into copper the slag residuum from the acid manufacture. Should the road be carried down the Ocole River to Cleveland and Chattanooga, another means of access to coal would be obtained, and another outlet for the ores of iron and manganese of Chero- kee, N. C., of Pickens and other counties of Northeast Georgia. There is no doubt that the construction of this road, as its owners propose, from Anstell, at the junction of the Georgia Pacificand E. T., V. andG. to Mari- etta, and the extension of their present line via Ducktown to Chattanooga, will be a great power for the development of mineral wealth of the South. The valley of Valley River in Cherokee County, N. C., and of the Ocole in Pickens County, Ga., have an area of mineral wealth hardly surpassed. In those valleys are found in parallel lines AUTOMATIC RAILWAY veyed from the boiler by a double rubber tube. The machine is used in the same fashion as the shears, but cuts, it is stated, | much quicker and far cleaner, without the least danger of injuring the fleece or sheep. Se Steam-Yacht Races. In a recent issue of ths New York Trib- une Mr. Charles KE. Emery, referring to the annual steam-yacht races of the American Yacht Club, remarks : torpedo-boat are not to be lost. Their high | same course vary in different years on ac- speed cannot, it is true, be obtained in a| count of differences in the tide. Last year yacht of the same size, as there would be no | the start was made on flood tide, which was room for quarters, but the machinery can be | adverse, and finished on the ebb tide, which modified to secure some of the advantages | was favorable, so it was generally consid- shown by the torpedo machinery, and | ered even by the judges that the tide had no thereby save very much of the weight. The | influence on the result. In the regatta of only true progress made in yacht construc- | the 15th ult., of which the official report has tion within the last 10 years may be found | just been issued, the second-class yachts |in the adoption of higher steam pressures | started over the club course from Larch- and of smaller engines run at higher speeds, | mont to New London, a distance of 80 knots, We have had for many yerrs light side- | wheel steamers, of the type of what were | known as the ‘‘ Harlem boats,” that would | easily run 18 or 20 miles per hour, but the limit | for seagoing vessels of small size was very much Jess. The naval gunboats during the late civil war only ran 8 or g knots, with occasional spurtsto 1o. The larger class of gunboats of the Nipsic type were considered phenomenal, but they could only be forced to 1134 knots, which was about the speed of the smaller sloops of war under favorable con- ditions. At that time the larger sloops of war of the Brooklyn class were about 1 knot or more slower. Speeds of 12 knots were obtained with a number of comparatively small yachts built soon after the war, though generally such speeds were reported CUT-OFF SAW, BUILT BY THE EGAN COMPANY, with some reductions of weight in the hulls and fittings. As the results of these changes, however, the speeds of yachts have been materially increased. In comparing the speed of yachts a diffi- culty has arisen from the fact that larger vessels are faster than small ones, and for a time it seemed impracticable to fix a system of comparison which would apply to yachts of all lengths. The speed of vessels of simi- lar model should theoretically vary as the cube roots of their lengths, and the writer found that the speeds of individual yachts of the better class varied very nearly as 2.7 times the cube roots of their lengths, which rule was found to apply very closely to the speed obtained in the regattas of the Amer- ican Yacat Club, and was adopted by that club as the basis of time allowance for three of their cups. The Atalanta, 228 feet g inches long, last year ran 80 knots in 3 min- CINCINNATI, OHIO, | flood. / at almost high water, and therefore had the | benefit of the whole of the ebb tide in run- ning to the eastward. As, however, it is high water at New London before it is at Larchmont, all the yachts met and were re- | tarded by the flood tide in different degrees | according to the time of arrival. In order, therefore, to determine the exact speed of the various vessels the effect of the tide on each must be separately considered. This in general would not be necessary for the purposes of a regatta on account of the di- vision of the vessels into classes which start at the same time. It is necessary, however, for the engineer or yacht designer to know exactly the speed of a vessel, and it is desir- able even for sportsmen, as no owner would wish to back his vessel without knowing ex- actly what she would do when tidal influ- ences and every other proper condition were considered, The strength of the tide varies at different parts of the course according to the width of the sound, position of shoals, &c., but the average for the whole length of the course as taken from the chart will be found to be: For the first quarter’of tide 0.6 knot per hour. For the second quarter of tide 1.2 knots per hour, For the third quarter of tide 1.2 knots per hour. For the fourth quarter of tide 0,5 knot per hour. So that a vessel running eastward during the full ebb tide would be assisted on the average % knot per hour. The Atalanta did not start until the tide had | been running ebb for one hour, and finished the course within the first half-hour of the She wus therefore assisted on the average 3% knot per hour for the time she was on the course, which there- fore reduced the distance actually run to 76.563 knots, an average of 16.707 knots per hour, for the 4 5825 hours required to run over the course. Her speed last year over the same course, on the basis that the flood and ebb tides neutralized each other, was 16 336 knots per hour, so that her speed this year was about % knot faster than last. This calculation with the tides considered confirms in a very gratifying manner the remarkable speed reported for this vessel in previous years, when some doubting ones thought it probable that the speed shown was due to the state of the | tide. All of the second-class yachts which ran over the course have been altered during the year, and the speeds shown may be ana- | lyzed to ascertain if any improvements have been made. The Radha, which had new boilers during the winter, was withdrawn at the last moment to protect her deck over the boilers more thoroughly. The Meteor, which has never been completed in practical shape until this year, was entered, but ran entirely off her course, and some other yachts entered last year did not enter this. the best of limonite and magnetic iron ore, | at 14 to 16 knots.

If the blower increases the power 60 per cent., as per Haswell’s rule, this per- centage represents the loss due to the change in the machinery, but if the blower were used only to force the vessel to a speed of 14 knots, as could readily have been done with the former machinery, the loss due to the change is over i knot per hour and 20.44 per cent. of power. The changes were made at the suggestion of the builders of the ma chinery without the knowledge of the engi- neer, and consisted in enlarging the cylin ders and varying their proportion to those approved 10 years ago, when 60 to 80 pounds of steam were considered high pressures The enlargement of the cylinders and chang ing of the proportion simply forced the ma chinery to be operated at a lower steam There appears to have been little done in this country to utilize the experiments of Froude in modeling yachts; in fact, there are differences of opinion as to what the experiments show. There is no doubt but that the lines of a vessel may be so shaped as to permit a much greater displacement for a giveu horse-power than was formerly supposed possible. The new English torpedo cruisers of the Scout class are of about the tons, or more than double her displacement, yet they are driven at about the same speed with 3200 horse-power, which is somewhat larger in proportion than their increased These cruisers have been made rather too short for their displacement to secure handiness in maneuvering, so that the full benefit of the new principle has not Lagonda, now the flagship of the American’ pressure, reduced the expansion and in Yacht Club, the writer applied the princi- creased the difficulty of keeping up the steam ples of Froude’s experiments so far as ap-| supply. All recent developments in the plicable, as he understood them, with the steam engine have been in the direction of higher steam pressures and greater expan sion instead of the contrary. The changes doubtless made the vessel smarter for short spurts, and the Commodore had expressed himself so confidently that an improvement had been made that some of his friends incorrectly supposed that he would run triumphantly through the whole fleet. The lnanda was run over the course in 6.561 hours, thus meeting enough of the flood tide to reduce the mean assistance from tide to \% knot. Her actual distance through the water was therefore 77.83 gratifying result that with the same power as that due to a Herreshoff boat of the same length, which would have a displacement of but go tons, the Lagonda, with a displace ment of 140 tons, was driven at the same speed. This result indicates that consider- able improvement may be made in the future in the modeling of yachts by a proper study of principles which have as yet re- ceived but little attention except among English naval architects.
