The Fayette Brown Blast Furnace Hoist. at the Stewart Furnaces, Sharon,,Pa.; after ward for the two stacks of the Lucy Fur We take pleasure in presenting in this issue engravings of an automatic furnace h vist, designed by Mr. Fayette Brown, of the Brown Hoistiy;g and Conveying Machine Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, and built for the Riverside Iron works, at Steubenville, Ohio. The general features of the hoist are well shown in the illustration on this page. De- tails are given on page 19. The hoist con- sists, in the main, of an inclined bridge starting from a pit in the stockhouse anl reaching to the top of the shell of the fur- nace at L, Fig. 2, to which it is secured by Ohio Iron Company, at Zanesville, Ohio. At all these places it has given great satisfac tion. _— ——— A Curiosity in Photometry. tion, to read of an expedient adopted in former times in Paris to contro! the quality of the street lamps.

From a series of interesting articles on ** Science and Gunnery,” published in Nu/ure a short time ago, we extract the appended par- ticulars relative to disappearing gun car riages. The subject is one which has al- ready attracted a good deal of attention, disappearing guns having been successfully put to practical use in the past. Hence the propriety of its further consideration. We | quote : The public has been much interested of | late in the beautiful mechanism by means of which Mr. Maxim has utilized the energy of recoil, not only to run out the barrel of his gun at every shot, but also to perform all the operations of loading and firing automat- abutment lugs and pins. From this point | have been crushed, and the powder into matter was placed, had paper patterns cut | separate before a temperature of 200° C. is ral almost continues an extension of the frame over the top of the bell and hopper. On the top chords of this bridge are secured cross-ties, upon which is a track of T-rails extending from the skip pit to the point L of the bridge where it is bent in toward the hopper as shown at R. A second rail, R’, outside the main track, extends a portion of the way up to the top frame. A skip car §, is ar- ranged to run on the track, the hoist rope passing over the top sheave O, back to the drum of the hoisting engine near the foot of the incline. This engine is so arranged as to hoist the load to the proper hight, and automatically prevent overwinding by means of a special safety throttle-valve designed for the purpose. The skipcar is constructed with one set of narrow tread-wheels in front and a set of double the width in the rear. The hoist rope bail y is pivoted as shown. When the skip-car arrives at the top of the furnace L, the front wheels continue on the bent portion of the track R, passing between the rails R®, the broad tread of the hind wheels reach the outer rails R® and continue up tothe proper hight for tipping the car and dumping the load. The outline sketch of the car S, Fig. 3, shows a screw, x, by means of which the hind wheels are adjusted by a movement forward or back to the exact position that secures the best result in dump- ing. The gas sealing doors D are con- nected by means of levers and connecting arms to the shaft of the chain wheels G, which are, in turn, operated by means of rope connection to the pilot wheel ‘W situated near the engine; by means of this the engineer may readily open and close the doors. These latter are left open when the bell is up and the hopper is closed, that the bell and hopper may not become overheated. This woula occur if a free circulation of air were prevented. The doors are closed only when the bell is ready to lower its charge into the furnace, thus preventing the escape of gases when the furnace top is open. The bell is operated by the ordinary lever Band air cylinder C, as shown. A four- way valve of special design is located on a convenient stand in the engine-room, and connected tothe air cylinder and drum by pipe connections, so that all the manipula- tions of charging the stock by means of the bell are readily performed by the engineer at his post. Near the operator, and in plain view of him, and of the bottom fillers and manager, is a large dial with a pointer, or indicator, which, every time the bell is lowered, shows the exact hight of the stcck in the furnace. This can also be registered automatically on paper by an attachment under lock from the operator, which gives the record of stock line at all times, and also enables the manager to ascertain the uniformity of charging during his absence. The dial of the register is of such size that for 1-inch motion of the bell there is a 3-inch motion of the pointer on the dial. Any distribution of stock desired can be had by the simple adjustment of the car in reference to dump- ing on the of the bell. There is also a register that indicates the number of skip cars charged into the hopper before the lowering of the bell, thus pre- venting over or under fillirg of the bell be- fore it is lowered. All danger of over-hoist- ing is avoided by a safety stop, so con-| proper size, or profile, of a gas flame.

If the heating is sudden, bellit will burn with a sooty flame, something Jike tar, but if the source of the heat is removed, the b-llit will cease burning and assume a caramel-like structure, the ingredients being the same as in its original state with the exception of a somewhat reduced proportion of saltpeter. The explosive appears to absorb little moist ure from the air after it has been pressed ; if this operation be performed in the hot state the subsequent increase of weight is only 2 per cent. Subjected to the most powerful blow a | man is capable of inflicting with a steel hammer upon an iron plate, bellit certainly becomes heated, but neither explodes nor ignites. Two grains of bellit in a blank copper cartridge (that of a Remington rifle) were placed on an iron plate and subjected | to the fall of a weight of 290 pounds from a | hight of 17 feet 6 inches without exploding. Layers of bellit of .47 inch in thickness on wood or iron have been pierced with rifle balls fired at a distance of some 50 yards, without showing signs of explosion or igni- tion. While boring in cast iron with a steel drill, 1 grain of bellit has been placed in the | hole, neither explosion nor ignition having | resulted, although no sort of oil or other |lubricator was used. A smal! quantity of | bellit was affixed to the appointed end of a |steel rod and the rod knocked so hard ' against quartz as to produce sparks, yet there SL Pag 24 STEUBENVILL COMPANY, CLEVELAND, which it was turned was affixed to the rock.

Vestibules are becom ing so popular that the road that is not pro vided with at least a sample train will soon be badly behind the times. By fixing a small mirror between the cen ter and circumference of the diaphragm of a telephone, and reflecting from it a beam of light on a distant scale or telescope, its motion can be detected. It can be safely trans it is in the form of hard cakes, it requires a | The Atlantic Coast Line announces that it, | ically, and that at a rate which baffles the imagination. Six hundred shots per minute can be fired without any exter- nal power being used. The energy im- parted to the shot must have its counterpart in the movement of the gun and car- riage in the opposite direction, and Col- onel Moncrieff, 20 years ago, showed how, by suitable mechanical arrange- ments, guns of all sizes could be made to re- coil under cover and be raised again into the firing position without the application of ex- ternal force, There are two systems by which this is accomplished, by means of count ‘rweights and by means of metallic*air springs. In the former casefit is easy to see how the counterweight can be so arranged that the work represented by the falling of the gun may be exactly balanced by the work of lifting the balance weight; the energy of recoil, therefore, need only be drawn upon to overcome the friction of the descent and the subsequent friction of as- cent, together with the accelerating force necessary to start the gun into smart upward movement. The total amount of work ex- pended in friction does not probably exceed 20 per cent. of the work of raising the gun, and consequently the old muzzle loaders, with their comparatively small charges and low muzzle velocities of projectile, yield ample power to allow the guns to be lowered completely beyond the reach of hostile shot. This is a consideration of great impor- tance, because year by year a large number of excellent muzzle-loading guns of all calibers will be returned into store from the Navy, and may at once be utilized for strengthening our coast defenses, for they are quite powerful enough to act against unarmored vessels, light draft transports, and such like, as well as against the un- protected parts of ironclads; while as howitzers they would be invaluable for pre- venting landing from boats, and for this service would be quite as effective as the longer, more costly, and more delicately made breach loaders, which, however, should be associated with them to resist ironclads. It so happens, also, that the short muzzleloader is particularly well suited to the Moncrieff carriage, because the men engaged in loading, training, and elevating, working completely un- der the parapet, are in absolute safety from the enemy’s fire, and the only man exposed is he who lays the gun, and even that exposure, as we have already remarked, can often be dispensed with. The muzzle- loaders are also much more simple weapons to manage than the modern, more powerful guns, and would, therefore, be better fitted for coast batteries, which would undoubt edly have to be manned and worked by volunteers and men not so highly trained as the artillery of the regular army. Some years ago the War Office definitely adopted the Moncrieff counterweight car- riage, and mounted successfully guns as large as the g inch of 12 tons weight, but after a time evil counsels prevailed, invet- erate prejudice triumphed, and the nation has been saddled with a vast expenditure on forts, which are already obsolete, for by no sort of ingenuity can they be made to carry artillery fitted to cope with that which will | be opposed to them. The counterweight system, however, becomes very cumbersome when guns exceed some 20 tons in weight. Recourse can then be had to compressed air asa means of storing the energy of recoil. But the work done[in compressing air reveals itself in the form of heat, which raises | its temperature, and is slowly dissipated as it cools. Again, the air, in expanding to raise the gun, is cooled by the amount of heat converted into work, and its pressure is thereby reduced, so that the losses on these two accounts, added to the somewhat increased friction of the machinery, set a limit to the hight to which the stored energy of recoil can raise the gun; the increased charges used in modern artillery, however, compensate for these losses, and it is possible by hydro-pneumatic arrangement to give | efficient cover to the heaviest guns. The | natural fear arises lest the introduction of water and compressed air may not add elements of danger in the facility Twith which dirt and deoris, not” sufhcient to injure an ordinary mounting, may affect the more complicated arrangement. There is no doubt that a breech-loading gun requires more care in its use than a muzzle-loader, and a_ hydro pneumatic | mounting is not so simple as a carriage with } jan ordinary friction or bydraulic compre ssor, but experience with the 6 iuch hydro pneumatic siege carriage has shown that the system is capable of enduring rough usage, and is by no means very easily deranged. 15 = ee eee ee = oes - = or am £ = =. ~~ mos <o S. e - Se nee _—s ee ee _ cS Se. eS aT | Sits = Sle ee eh RE et le Wu ae Q THEH IRON AGE.
