The change is ef- fected very simply by shortening the legs meeting of the British Association for the | of compressibility is ascertained previously. | and swinging the bar about its axis, so as to Advancement of Science in that city : The safety and shooting-pow- er of the sporting breech-loader are mainly consequent on the judicious design of its breech mechanism and the perfect fit- ting of the surfaces in contact when the barrels are closed. The method of tilting the breech ends of the barrels up- ward on a hinge is most conven- ient to open them for loading, and for firmness when closed the original fastening princi- ple of Lefaucheux has not been excelled. The ‘* snap-bolt” system is, however, for home use, generally adopted, being more quickly manipulated and fairly durable when per- fectly fitted. The self-acting mechanism for forcing out the cartridge case was also ex- plained. The safety arrange- ment known as the “‘ re- bounding lock,’ which, after the gun is fired, automatically restores it to a position that renders it absolutely sate from accidental discharge, was 4 marked advance in improve- ment. External hammers were subsequently found to be neediess, and to interfere with a free aim, and hence the so- called ‘‘ hammerless” gun was invented wherein the hammers are concealed within the gun, and the mode of working simplified. The in- ventions of the Anson-Dee- ley, and the Scott hammer- less guns are perhaps the best and most successful types of these guns. They possess special but different merits in their mechanism and auto- matic safety appliances, and the disposition of their moving parts is very judicious. The varieties of hammerless guns can only be glanced at, as so many patents have been taken out for them in the last 10 years. In noticing the performance of shot-guus it has been found that by contracting or coning the bore of the barrel a little behind the muzzle, technically called ‘‘ choke-boring,” a di- rection of convergence can be conferred upon the charge of shot, whereby it can be con- centrated upon the mark, and the tendency of the shot to spread, as compared with firing it from a true cylinder, is greatly restrained. The forces tending simultaneously to ecnverge, and to disperse the charge of shot, are intri- ate and interesting. Much t the desired effect depends the iength and shape the internal coning, for studying which the writer invented an expanding mi- meter for minutely measur- i the variations in the boring of tubes, whereby flerence of caliber of x}, inch are felt and visibly re- rded. Latterly new gun- powders have been invented, having for their object the btaining quickly a clear aim ith the second barrel of a gun unclouded by the smoke ‘rom the first barrel which rises from using ordinary ack gunpowder, These new wdersare known as Schultze E. C. (Explosive Com- pany). They effect their pur- pose, as they are nearly smoke- and have been successful iprovements. In their early ‘anufacture they were im- perfect and irregular in heir force, and if heated to 80° F. acted with great violence. Hence many guns were broken by them at first, and the need has been felt ‘ some reliable instrument to measure the foree which powders exert and its rate of development. One of these, the Le Boulengé chronograph, indicates the Velocity of a bullet during its flight be- ‘ween two targets 50 feet apart. These are respectively connected with suspended weights by an electric current. On the a piercing the targets the current is a on, the weights are set free, and hence 4@ velocity and the projectile force em- ployed are deduced. The gauze targets, owever, appear likely to interfere with the velocity of small shot, and to affect the cal- culation tor them. Fig. QUARRY BAR FOR CHANNELING, | By carefully measuring the thickness of the copper disk before and after the experiment the compression the disk has suffered is ob- served andthe powder force is deduced. Since the thickness of the barrel of a gun from breech to muzzle should diminish pro- portionally to the progressive decrement of gas pressure, the lightest safe section can thus be found. This instrument has been screwed at equal distances along large guns for that purpose, and the principle seems ca- pable of application to sporting guns. LL GADDING, ETC., MADE BY THE RAND DRILL COMPANY, NEW | bring the machine to a horizontal! instead of | a vertical position. This device is chiefly used in quarries for getting out dimension stone. Holes are first drilled in line, as shown, by setting the machine at different places on the bar. When the holes are down a broaching bit is placed in the machine, and the partitions between the holes broken down. It may be well to explain here what a broaching bit is. The steam drill piston is always made to rotate in drilling a hole, so | that the steel may strike a better blow in| | : A Da | tinuously, which, besides, would make an!| The Developments in the Saar and | irregularly shaped hole, instead of round We illustrate on this page two positions of | After the line of holes shown in the cuts has the quarry bar made by the Rand Drill Com | been drilled it is necessary to break down the partition between them in order to detach the stone. To do this the rotating apparatus of the steam drill is taken out and another back-head is put on the drillcylinder, having a straight bar which causes the | 2.—Drill Mounted for Urilling Horizontal Holes YORK. piston to move up and down without rotat ing. A flat drill steel is then used called the ‘‘ broaching bit.”” Sometimes the channel is cut by using a broaching bit altogether and running the drill along on the quarry bar. Then a longer broaching bit is put on to cut the channel deeper, and so on These quarry bars are fast becoming an in dispensable adjunct to quarries, where they are displacing the more cumbersome and expensive devices. Compared to the old hand system of quarrying dimension stone, this bar is claimed to save the labor of from G. W.

Lorraine Districts (Germany) It is somewhat remarkable at first sight that justat a time when the iron mining and smelting industry has been and still is languishing everywhere, there should be such confidence in the future, and such large sums of money at disposal to make important developments in old mines and works and establish new ones in the Saar and Lorraine districts, Germany Yet such is the case, as a few examples given below will testify. It is with the object of putting the works into a position for more suc cessfully competing in the markets of the world. When it is considered that the ores here, oolitic principally, are the cheapest and most abundant, the blast furnaces, the largest in Germany—including Lux embourg—producing pig iron now selling to a profit at 28 marks per metric ton, or, roughly, $7.25 per gross ton, and that there is rail and water carriage from them to the seaboard, then this does not appear an unreasonable undertaking. In Diidelingen —Luxembourg—a new steel works on an extensive scale was set to work, with best results, only a few weeks ago. In Redingen, near Deutsch-Ot h—L orraine— the new blast furnaces belonging to the Dillingen Works, on the River Saar, will shortly be blown in. The Dillingen Works were the first to make tin plates in Cer- many, and still make the larg- est quantity, perhaps. The stock compahny—A. Pescatore and S, Foude—got into diffi culties some time since, but it appears the Banque Liégeoise is coming to their assistance, and then their Riimelinger blast furnaces will be carried on more vigorously than be- fore. Since Messrs. Lamarche & Schwartz have acquired all the shares in the iron mines round about Gros-Meyeuve, Wallmeringen, &c., which formerly belonged to Belgian proprietors, they have added to, and started in April last, a second blast furnace at their iron works, Mai- ziéres, situated near Metz, in the plain watered by the Moselle Messrs. Lamarche « Schwartz now possess the largest area—3000 hec tares—of mining property in Lorraine. with the one excep- tion of Messrs. de Wendel & Co. in Hayingen. The output of the Orme Mine, near Moy- euve, 18 shortly all to be smelted at the furnaces of the Maiziéres, and in order to transport the ores to the works the proprietors bave laid ona wire rope railway of about 4 miles in length, erected by Bleichert & Co,, of Leipzie, which will be in full working order in September. Alongside the iron works of the Brothers Stumm, Brothers Kraemer and the Volknennen Company, those of the Bur bach Company must be men tioned, for here the first rolled beams were made of such mul tifarious sections and in such large quantities in Germany besides, these works have been brouyht to such a high zitch of perfection, in a technical point of view, that they are destined to take a still higher place than they bave hitherto done in the world’s markets The productiveness of the mines in the Algrinyver Valley, pear Hayingen, belonging to these works, has encouraged the proprietors to increase the number of their blast furnaces by three within the last year or tw to put up at th ( owper bot blast stoves ar 150 new geovens a‘ mm plete apparatus for washing the ‘ previous te coking 4s is probably where else to be found They also increased the number of their puddling furnaces fr m <t4 to 7 pu two new trains of rolls, altered the id ones and erected machinery of the very best a newest pattern to drive the whole, and established workshops for fitting up mate riab for the navy to this they constructed a narrow gauge rai way 3 miles long from the works at Burbach, in the direction of Furbach, for the removal! of their slag engaged in adding to their present works ap armor plates, &c.
