Siew air chambers between the shell and the dynamite bottle, which serve as cushions and protect the dynamite from the effects of the concussion produced by the explosion of the powder charge. The superiority claimed for Young’s invention over others is that it contains more perfect cushions, made by the air chamber, and that the air in those cush ions constitutes nearly perfect non-conduct- ors of heat, thus protecting the dynamite charge from the heat generated in the sides of the shell by friction during the passage of the projectile along the grooves of the gun-barrel. Another important advantage claimed is that the direction of the blast of the exploding dynamite can be controlled in Young’s shell; that the detonator can be located or placed so as to direct the blast according to the will of the marksman. oe - The Rhenish-Westphalian Scythe Indastry, <-inch bar, reducing its diameter % inch at|in niue cases cited, which included coal, | erate ; and the assumption that the mean| charge of gunpowder. one operation.

The displacement of the atmosphere also forms a very considerable item. The expan- sion on leaving the gun being instantaneous, the pressures and temperatures fall approxi- mately as in adiabatic expansion ; hence it is easy to calculate what probable tempera- ture and consequent volume the gases will assume as they stream outgf the gun, and this temperature is comparatively low ; otherwise powder smoke would be insupport- able to those feeling its influence close to a gun. The work done in displacing the air is 'found by multiplying the volume pushed teresting considerations, not only with | about 43 per cent. of the products of the | aside by the atmospheric pressure.

While the shot is traveling along the chase, the center of gravity of the powder charge is moving also at an uncertain rate, but the moment the shot leaves the gun the whole of the products of combustion appear to spring out with a velocity equal to, if not greater than, that of the shot. The evidence of this supposition is found in the fact that in the case of disap- pearing guns fired with their muzzles close to a masonry parapet, and in which the recoil below it is completed in a small fraction of a second, no blackening of the masonry is noticeable. A portion of the gases follow the shot and keep up with it for a considera ble distance, as is shown by the circumstance that smoke issues plentifully from the earth banks into which proof shots at short range are fired, proving that the smoke of the dis- travels along the chase, but the greater part energy of the reaction to the sudden libera- tion of gases under high pressure is but too familiar to usin the case of boiler ex- plosions, in which it commonly bappens that great masses of material are hurled with de- structive force and often to great distances. The pressure-curve inside the gun is stil! very ill-defined ; the forms commonly given are certainly a long way from the truth, because the areas included, which form in- dicator diagrams representing the work done, will not account for the energy de- veloped The pressure probably falls in proportion to the distance traveled by the shot, and the time in which the discharge takes place may be calculated on that as- sumption, or even with sufficient accuracy on the supposition that the velocity of the shot is uniformly accelerated as from the action of a constant force equal to the mean pressure producing the known velocity of the shot in a known distance. Ry The Hinckley Locomotive Works are building an express locowotive with a sin gle pair of driving wheels. It is intended |is done after it leaves the muzzle. The | tions of each of the three first-named gentlemen have been tested with greater or lesser success. Thus far, however, Ex- Lieutenant Graydon has made the most satisfactory experiments to demonstrate that dynamite can be shot out of a gun | with ordinary gunpowder, He has sold one of his inventions to the Russian Government for $70,000. Shells of his invention have been tested in presence of boards of Govern- ment officers, and the reports made to the departments have all indicated that the experiments were successful. At the present time important experiments | with Graydon’s shells are in progress at the | Government proving grounds at Sandy Hook. In one of these recent tests the cannon in use burst into small pieces, and this mishap (not unexpected—the gun was a condemned piece) led some of the service journals to indulge in irrelevant remarks to the effect that Gray- don is vieing with Norman Wiard for dis- tinction as the ‘‘ great gun burster,” al- though, as a matter of fact, Wiard’s experi ments at Nutt Island, near Boston, with old, |condemned, smooth-bore, castiron guns, | converted on his plan into powerful! rifles, was praised by the Secretary of the Navy, in his report to Congress, as extremely valu- | able and his success wholly unanticipated and unparalleled. Still, in spite of these gratui- | tous little flings, the Ordnance Bureau not it at once ordered that another gun of a dif- ferent type be put in readiness for use in |the further tests that are to be made at | Sandy Hook with the Graydon shells, | Mr. Young’s dynamite shell is the latest | | invention in this line. Patent for it has very | recently been issued. [t is described as a | very ingenious yet rather simple contrivance, consisting of ap ordinary shell, in the center | of which is suspended a vessel shaped similar | to a bottle, about two-thirds the length and | breadth of the interior of the shell. This vessel, which is to contain the dynamite, is held in position near the head or top of the | shell by means of casing, rims and diaphragms (all made of elastic, yielding material, such as rubber or canvas cloth and rubber), form- only did not desist from its experiments, but | | are implements of importance, and it is a |matter of indifference to the purchaser whether they cost 3 or 4 marks, so long as he is satisfied with their durability. Relying upon this, German and French manufactur- ers have produced first-rate articles from |cast and refined steel, and expended the utmost pains upon the finish of their goods. |As a result, the large scythe works in | Rhenish- Westphalia are no longer satis fied with water-power, but have now | set up extensive steam plant which permits of a considerable daily production rhe Rhenish scythe factory of Griinewald & Co., in Kalt, produces, with 50 workers and one engine of 125 horse-power, from 400 to 500 scythes daily ; Friederich Anvermann, in Bruch, near Haspe, with 12 men produces yearly 30,000 seythes; Julius Kronenberg, |in Sophienhammer, near Husten, with ao steam engine of 38 horse power and 32 men, produced 60,000 scytbhes ; Falkenroth Bros., in Haspe, with water-power, 1300 dozen; Car! Schulte, in Steunerbach, 2800 dozen The works pay an average of four marks daily wages, which are certainly not earned by the workmen in Austria, Julius Kronen berg has established a scythe works in Russia on the Westphalian plan. Having in the first instance derived his work people from Austria, he was obliged to supplant them by Westphalian operatives tussia consumes yearly about 5,000,000 scythes, but vroduces only about 250,000, so that there is evidently a good field for enterprise in this article. - — The advantages of New Orleans as a deep water port have caused the concentration at that point of numerous railway lines, which handle the bulk of the entire receipts of merchandise, notwithstanding its important fluvial connections. The transfer of busi- ness from one line to another is a leading feature in the city, but complaint is made that the local benefics are csmparatively small, The receipts and shipments have more than doubled within the last six years, the aggregate for 1886-87 amounting w 2,055,000 tons. cence le a, alll b.
