OVERTISEMENTS Published every Thursday Morning by Davip WIL.LIaAMs, Nos. 66 and 68 Duane Street, New York. Vol. XL: No. Tq. New York, Thursday, October 6, 1887. Entered at the Post Office, New York, as Second-Class Matter. SL.50 a Year, Including Postage. Single Copies, Ten Cents. The Climax High-Speed Engine. We present on this page engravings of a new form of double-cylinder single-acting engine built by the Climax Mfg. Company, of Corry, Pa. In some respects the engine is familiar, possessing features which are found in several other similar types of en- gines, as, for example, the oiling arrange- ment, which consists of an oil and water | bath, into which the connecting-rod ends dip at every double stroke. In shape and disposition of some of the main work- ing parts also points of resemblance are readily apparent. The engine, however, is designed for a tixed cut off, and is furnished with atbrottling governor. The frame, in the smaller sizes, is cast in one piece with both cylinders. It is first planed on the bottom to fit the base, after which the cylinders are bored by special machinery to a perfect right angle tothe crank-shaft The cylinder heads and steam chest are cast in one piece. The crank-shaft is forged and is in one piece accurately fitted up and balanced, and is of large diameter, so as to resist all strain to which it may be subjected to without spring. The boxes are long and filled with the best bronze. The connecting rods are very simple and strong; the pistons are of cast iron and are fitted with three packing rings. The valve is practically the Ball above. It was then discovered that the check had originally been drawn in favor of a M. Suller, and for 110 francs, the name and amount being easily readable under the new writing. Probably equally good results could have been obtained by chemical means, | but photography has the advantage of not | False | injuring the fabric of the check. coins are detected in much the same way, an enlarged photograph of both a genuine coin and the suspected one being made, and the two then compared.” — SS _ An Onslaught on Free Trade in England. The sensation of the Manchester meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute were the fol- lowing remarks made by Daniel Adamson in his presidential address : Since our last meeting in May this year the commercial aspect of the iron and steel trades is somewhat more cheerful, but be- fore trade becomes fairly and reasonably re- munerative to the capitalist and owner of works, a further consideranle improvement will have to take place. How this is to be brought around I am afraid no strong evi- dence exists, unless we place our hopes on a further development of railways in India, with a new extended application in Burmah ' forward market. Solong as we tax ourselves for the benefit of a foregn producer, and pay all the costs incident to the carrying on of our country, and enable the merchant to import | mManutactured goods at a greater profit than | commercial arrangement. he could realize by purchasing at home, so long will our great trade remain depressed and our foreign competitor rejoice at our want of foresight. Examine this transaction under another Suppose that 1000 tons of girder iron or steel be sold by an agent for;the home producer at a commission of % per cent., the gross amount of the sale being £5000. The same or a compet nz agent sells tooo tons of Belgian girder iron or steel for £4980, and thereby gets a preference. But what is the effect on this country ? The home producer, to execute such an order, has to buy about 1150 tons of pig iron, which is | get none; a condition that is neither agree- able nor desirable, and the sooner it is recti fied the better for the staple trade we repre sent. No doubt the merchant wili be ready to exclaim that the country would be worse off if it had to pay more money. The country would be better off by saving his profit, and if, for instance, the imported metal paid its share toward carrying on the State, plus the amount necessary for col lection, the British and foreign manufact- urer would then more nearly be on a par in this country. Looking at this mat- ter all round, it does not appear to me to be a just business for Englishmen to pay the cost of carrying on the State for the benefit lof our ueighbors on the Continent and in America.

The theory of the action by which electricity is conveyed by hot air, and by which the counter electro motive force is produced in the arc, presents a number of interesting points. By means of the phe nomena observed, it becomes possible, as is well known already, to start an arc between two terminals without bringing them into contact. ~ ene -- How Chinamen Make @lass.—Consul Withers, writing to the State Department, says of Chinese glass making : ‘‘ The Chinese in Hong Kong manage to turn out a con- siderable quantity of glassware of various kinds and of fair quality, with the minimum of implements and a plant the most inex- pensive. True, the material in general use is old glass remelted, for which expensive furnaces and apparatus are not indispen sable. The crucibles used are small, rarely exceeding in capacity 200 pounds. These are set in a furnace stoked from a small opening in the side. About 3 ewt. of coal is used in melting one crucible of glass. The tubes by which the molten glass is col- lected from the pot are perceptibly lighter balanced valve, as used in the Ball auto- matic engine, and is similar also to the valve employed in the Payne engine, built by Messrs. B. W. Payne & Sons, Elmira, N. Y. It is shown in detail in Figs. 3, 4 and 5. Briefly described, it consists of two separate pieces arranged to slide, one within the other, telescopically, and forced outward by a spring. In this way a steam-tight fit is always secured and the valve is perfectly balanced. Only exhaust steam enters the steam chest, so that the cover, arranged in front (see Fig. 1), can be removed when desired and the working of the valve examined while the engine is running, The exhaust takes place through a pipe issuing from the back and not shown in the cuts. The valve is worked through the c mnections shown in Fig. 2. The engine is well adapted for general use and, we under- stand, has given very satisfactory results. _ SS —— Photography has long been considered the faithful confederate and trusty ally of coun- terfeiters and forgers, but it cannot be looked upon in that light any longer, as M. Gobert, of the Banque de France, has suc- ceeded in converting this art into a most efficient detective agent. His process con- sists of taking a greatly magnified photo- graph of the suspected coin or document, on which any erasure or defect can then easily be detected. An interesting example of the success which can be obtained in this way is given in La Nature, from which we abstract the following account: ‘‘Some time ago a check for 1106 francs, drawn in favor of a M Rochu, was presented for payment at a Parisian bank, and was to all appearance perfectly genuine, the signature being un- doubtedly correct and no erasures or altera- ions in the amount could be detected. The Suspicions of the bank manager were, how ever, aroused, and the check was forwarded to M. Gobert for examination, who made a 1.—Front View, THE CLIMAX HIGH-3PEED and China. But supposing such does takes| ished girder. place in the near future, England must still be under great disadvantages by the relative trading position she occupies when compared with the larger States of Europe and America Tov illustrate this position, may I invite you to examine with ms one single mercantile transaction that may and does take place between this country and Belgium, in particular, but which has also its influence on other countries. Take one transaction of a merchant bny- ing say r0oco tons of wrought iron or steel girders from our friends at Middlesboro’-on-tees. either to be used near there or delivered into Manchester. To fairly compare our position, presume the same merchant purchases 1000 tons of Bel- gian girder iron or steel for importation into London or Manchester. The money value of this 1000 tons of girder metal may be put down at £5coo. The home manufacturer in the production of 1000 tons of iron or steel is bound by the laws of the land to con- tribute a large sum for imperial taxes toward the ninety million pounds sterling now annually required to carry on the gov- ernment of this country. The same manu- facturer has, further, to contribute for domestic or local taxation another large amount called for under the direction of some corporate body or local board. The merchant, however, orders this 10c0 tons of girder metal from Belgium for, say, £4980. Thus the trade is given to a foreign country. But what besides? The foreign manufact- urer or the merchant, or both, pocket the difference that the home producer has been | compelled to pay in taxes on the 1000 tons of metal, thereby placing Great Britain and the British ironmaster at a disadvantage equivalent to a considerable item of profit, whereas in no form or shape does the Belgian ironmaster pay one farthing toward the taxes required to carry on the commerce and government of photographic reproduction of it as explained | this country, where he has found a free ENGINE, | foreign producer is a question more for the Fig. 3.—Side View of Valve with Tele- scopic Sleeve Drawn Apart, + ANE iT TT Fig, 4.— View of Valve Resting on its Side, Shwwing its Upper Face and Interior. f » sult windlass ps bt Hae Fig. 5,—Side View of Valve as it Appears in the Engine with- out Nut, ee a tail RMR LTT SR 4 Fig. 2.—Vertical Section, BUILT BY THE CLIMAX MANUFACTURING COMPANY, CORRY, PA, The cost arises by the pay-|at home?

After being blown, the glass is annealed in square pit containing ashes and straw, the latter being speedily converted into ash by contact with the heated glass. The molds used are made of clay and are often very ingeniously devised to meet the varying indications required. When taken from the crucible the operator not marver the lump of molten glass by rolling on a flat iron slab as is usually done. They have, in fact, no marver’s tools or other appliances usually seen in glass-blowing establishments. A small trowel-shaped tool of iron, clay molds, and a few iron tubes constitute the Chinese glass-blower’s whole stock in trade. The above relates to Chinese glass- blowers alone, of whom there are many in the colony, but there is a large plant for the manufacture of glass, owned by English and foreigners, in Hong Kong, which ail the modern appliances, but is not now at work.” does has Large amounts of cotton goods are now being shipped to China from Boston—by the Boston and Lewell Railroad to Newport, Vt., by the Canadian Pacific Railway from New port to Vancouver, B. C., and thence by steamer to Yokohama and Hong Kong. The time required for shipment from Boston to Shanghai is about 30 days; the time from England (via the Suez Cana!) to the port is over 50 days. sainie The fee of $20,000 paid to the late Capt. Jas. B. Eads for his opinion in reference to the Manchester Ship Canal is probably the highest fee ever paid for an engineering consultation ; $1,750,000 have been expended upon this canal before a sod had been cut or a stone laid to forward the actual work, which is to cost $28,750,000, a firm of re sponsible contractors having agreed to build it for this price.
