Vol XE> No. The Reynolds Feed-Water Heater and Purifier. The importance of a good heater for raising boiler feed water to the highest possible temperature by means of exhaust steam from the engine is meeting with in- creasing appreciation. The design of the Reynolds heater and purifier, built by Messrs. E. P. Allis & Co., of Milwaukee, Wis., which we illustrate on this page, is, therefore, not without interest. The | engraving represents a vertical section, | showing all the essential features. The} body of the heater is made of boiler iron, and the base, or settling chamber, and the cap are of cast iron. The interior heads, into which the tubes are secured, are of boiler irou, and the tubes are held by ex panding their ends precisely as in a tubular boiler. The large pipe in the center is) fastened atits lower end only, and it is with this center pipe that the cool feed-water first comes in contact. Being free at its| upper end, it can expand and contract ac- cordingly as the variations in the current | of feed-water affect its temperature. The small tubes connecting the upper and lower | heads and the wrought iron shell being | constantly exposed with the exhaust steam | alike, preserve a constant relation to each other, and thereby avoid straining the | heater. A catch basin or pan is placed | upon the upper interior head to catch any | sediment that may rise tothe top. The cap of the heater is made so that all scum too light to settle can be collected at the ex- | treme top, where the upper branch of the | surface biow-oft pipe terminates. The lower branch of this pipe extends nearly to the | bottom of the pan, and when the valve is opened the scum aud sediment from the entire upper portion of the heater can be blown out, A bottom blow-off removes the mud and sediment from the lower part. The operation of the heater is as follows : Exhaust steam enters freely near the upper left band, as shown by the arrow in the large pipe, and passes out near the lower | right hand, so that the interior of the| wrought iron portion of heater is constantly | filled with steam at atmospheric pressure, | and the tubes through which the feed- water | passes are always surrounded by steam. This method provides a chamber of ample | proportions for the engiaoe to exhaust into, | and forms, in a measure, a surface condenser. Feed-water enters the heater at the bottom, as shown at the lower left hand, passes up in the center, and is delivered at the top and | inside of the large center tube. It then passes down this tube, as indicated by arrows, and is brought to a high temperature | by the time it reaches the chamber below. | The currents, being downward, carry all sediment precipitated by the heat into the| cool seitling chamber, where the quiet state of the water allows these deposits to accumu. , late undistured, ready to be blown out. After leaving the center tube the heated water passes upward through the small | tubes to the upper part of heater, and the| combined area of these tubes bears such a/| proportion to the area of teed -pipe that the | water moves very slowly in its upward pas | sage, thus affording ample opportunity for transfer of heat from the steam tothe water. The outlet-pipe leading to the boiler, shown | at the top to the right, has its inner end | nearly in the center of heater and somewhat above the upper settling pan, so that the water passiog out to the boiler starts from od | point at which little or no foreign substances exist, and the practical effect of the opera- tion is to heat the feed water up to the| highest possible degree without producirg | back pressure in the engine, and to extract | whatever lime, magnesia or other matter! may be held in suspension and send the| clean puritied water to the boiler. The | heater, according vo the claims of the build- | ers, raises water to a uniform temperature | of from 208° to 212°, | ec — Professor Newberry read a paper before | the National Academy of Sciences, at its’ recent session in this city, on ** The Future ff Gold aud Silver Production.” He said! that he had spent a part of nearly every summer since 1885 among the mines of the! West, and he believed that the production | of the United States was past its maximum. | 'be present annual production amounts to| $39,0c0,coo. Inthe northern parts of the | mountains Of the West there is probably | gold, and it may be hoped that a consider- | able contribution to the gold of the world | will be made from this region. There are no important deposits of gold in Mexico. Che western coast of South America, rich in silver, is poor in gold. It is likely that the | ancient inhabitants practically exhausted | the supply, and the images of this metal which they buried with the dead have been | sought with some success. The product of | Kurope is about $30,000,000 annually, more | than three-fourths of which is from the Ural mountains. The professor said: ‘‘ We need| of the English coal mines were of but districts hot expect any such quantities of gold as) flooded the world from California, Australia and New Zealand, but it may be hoped that! production of fuel was only about 38,000,000 tons, and in 1854 it had only reached 634,- | 661,401 tons, or not two-fifths of the present Yet the fatalities from explosions were then, and for several years after, as heavy as when the quantity of coal raised was more than doubled, and the shafts sunk the present productiom may be kept up for | ‘nany years. The problems of silver pro- ductions for the future seem to lie wholly within our own country. There has been a production amounting to more than $6,000,- “00,000,000 since the discovery of America, and it is likely to reach from $40,000,000 to York, New The mines of Peru and Bolivia are the most | famous in the world, and it is estimated that they have yielded $2,493,268,800. Their yield has been comparatively little for many years.” Professor Newberry said that dis- turbances in the financial world from the | | which caused a good deal of interest 50 South American mines need not be feared, and he saw no danger of financial disaster from either over or under production of gold or silver. A Fifty Years of Mining Explosions in England. During the past 50 years it appears that upward of 11,000 lives were lost in Eagland owing to explosions of fire-damp in the Sate PATS Ss , a teed from? ee funy FEED-WATER HEATER AND mines, and there is now no question that a very large proportion of these were prevent able. Naked lights, blasting with powder, the until recently unknown danger con- nected with coal dust, safety-lamps, which were the reverse of what their name implies, and laxity of discipline were the principal causes of most of the fatalities arising from explosions in the past. The future, how- ever, is now much brighter, for with the ventilating-fan superseding the furnace, a knowledge of the danger of coal dust as a powerful agent of spreading if not initiating an explosion, the probable early introduction of electricity for the lightirg of mines, new modes of blasting where such are necessary, and the stringent carrying out of the rules embodied in the Mines Regulation act, should make such catastrophes al! but un known ; 50 years ago, it may be said, most moderate depth, and in many nearly on the outcrops, while the annual output. to much greater depths. Of the fatal explo $50,000,000 annually for some years to come. ' gions which occurred during the half cen- Thursday, November 24, tury, nearly 20 per cent. of the deaths resulting from them took place in Yorkshire, about the same in Durbam and Northumber land ; then follows South Wales, Lancashire, Scotland, Staffordshire, &c. One of the first of these catastrophes, years since, was at the St. Hilda Colliery, South Shields, when upward of 50 lives were sacrificed. Atan exp'osion which took placa at Barnsley in 1842 three of the killed were | young women, whilst at the Haswell Col- liery, about g miles from Sunderland, in 1844, where by a similar occurrence 95 per- sons were killed, it was proved that safety lamps were given out to boys of 10 years of age. The Haswell fatality was about the Line PURIFIER, BUILT BY E. P. earliest in which it is recorded that the Gov- ernment sent down specialists to report upon the event and take part in the inquiry before the coroner. The gentlemen sent down were undoubtedly the most eminent of the day, being Professor Faraday and Mr. C. Lyal (afterward Sir C. Lyal, the great geologist) Three years later 73 lives were lost in the now historical Oaks Colliery, and in 1849, at Darley Main, in the same district, 75 were killed. Loss of life on a comparatively small scale, although by no means light in the aggregate, took place in sev eral districts throughout the kingdom for several years afterward, one at Rawmarsh, near Sheffield, in 1851, killing | 50 persons. In 1857, however, the country was again startled by an explosion which took place at the Lund Hill Colliery, near Barnsley, by which 189 lives were lost— the largest number of deatbs that had been recorded up to that time as the result of any single catastrophe from the ignition of gas inamine Naked lights were used in the mine and blasting carried on at the same time. The year 1866 was the most dis- astrous known as regards loss of life from explosions, the total reaching 651. Of these 361 were killed at the Oaks Colliery, near Barusley, and 100 on the following day at the Talk-o’-th’-Hiil Colliery, in Staffordshire. Before these two events took place disasters ALLIS and Metal Trades. Ve INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS PAGE !

The year 1867 was prin- cipally noticeable for an explosion at the Ferndale Colliery, in South Wales, by which 167 persons were killed, while in 1868 the deaths from explosions throughout the king: | dom had fallen to 154, and of these 22 were at St. Helen’s, Lancashire, and 10 at Rau- | bon, in North Wales. South Wales again | took the lead in 1869, when out of a total of | 257 lives lost in the mines from explosions Ferndale was credited with 60; Haydock, | Wigan, 58; Ince, Wigan, 26; Highbrook, | ’ |year, of which 51 took place at 84.50 a Year, Including Postage.

A more disastrous year was 1875, when the deaths owing to the firing of gas and its results amounted to 288. South Yorkshire again took the lead this year, the deaths being 140 at Swaithe Muin, near Barnsley, and eight at Aldwarke Main, in the same district, whilst 42 were killed at | the Bunkers Hill Colliery, in North Stafford 7 Boiler it. —> MILWAUKEE, WIS & CO., Wigan, 36, and Pontypool, 7. During the following vear there were no heavy fatali- ties recorded, but in 1871 there was an explosion at the Moss Side Colliery, Wigan, killing 70 men and boys, a similar event at two mines in South Wales added 57 to} the number: another at Seaham, in Dur- ham, 30, making 157 out of a total for the | | year of 269 for the entire kingdom. Owing |}to the many serious explosions which took | | place, and the numerous deaths from other | | causes as well for several years previously, | the Mines Regulation bill now in force was | carried in 1872, and the rules with respect | to the working of coal mines made far more | stringent than they had previously been, | more especially as regards blasting, safety |lamps and daily inspection. In tha‘ year | the deaths from explosions only numbered | 154, andof these 34 took place at Morley, near Dewsbury. The new Mines act came into operation on the ist of January, 1873, and the working of it was watched with considerable interest by both miners and mine owners, and the first year of its ex- istence was certainly one of great promise, | for, singular to say, the deaths from explo sions from the beginning to the end of it | were only 100, the lowest record sinve 1859, despite the great increase which had taken ; | place in the production of coal, and of the | number of persons employed iu and about | better than naked lights. | increased to 341 shire. Only 96 deaths were recorded from explosions of fire damp in 1876, the lowest with two exceptions during the previous 25 years, the most serious having taken place at the Abertillery Colliery, in Monmouth shire, where 20 persons were killed. Scot land took the lead in the following year, 1877, when the explosions resulted in the loss of 345 lives. Of these there occurred 213 at High Blantyre, near Glasgow, and 20 at Pemberton, in Lancashire. Excepting the year 1886, memorable for the great disaster at the Oaks Colliery, the | heaviest death list recorded from explosions in mines took place in 1878, when the num- ber of killed was 586. Ihis created an unusual expression of feeling, seeing that it was considered almost impossible that with the Mines Regulation act in full opera- tion so many lives could have been lost from a cause which the Legislature had done all that was considered po-sible to avert or at least to minimize, The most serious event of the year took place at the Prince of Wales Colliery, Abercarne, South | Wales, by which 265 lives were sacrificed. , Haydock, | about 200 to the total, Kearsley in the same Lancashire, also contributed county, 43, and Kilsyth, Scotland, 16. For- | tunately the succeeding year, 1879, was | more assuring, being a comparatively light one as regards deaths in mines from gas, the number having fallen to 184, and of these 27 took place at High Blantyre and 16 at a colliery near Waketield. At the former piace an explosion was only what ought to have been expected at any time, so loose was the dis- cipiine. The men took down matches, pipes and tobacco and appliances for opening the safety lamps, and these latter were little A most unfor- tunate year was 1880 as regards mining fa- talities from explosions, for they led to a loss of 499 lives. Of these 119 took place at the Risca Colliery in the South Wales dis- trict and 96 at Pen-y-Craig, also situate in the southern portion of the principality, while 60 were also killed at the Leycett Col- | liery, Staffordshire, and about 162 at Sea- ham, in Durham, During the last six years the deaths from mining explosions were much lighter than in similar periods in the | past, notwithstanding the great increase in | the output of coal and of the number of per sons employed in mining operations. In | 1881 the deaths were 116, and of these 40 took place at the Abram Colliery, Lanca shire, The deaths from explosions in 1882 numbered 250, and of these 30 occurred at Clay Cross, Derbyshire, and 21 at the BKax- terly Mine, Warwickshire, including the owner, Mr. Shirley. Out of a total of 134 |deaths in mines from explosive gases in 1883, 68 occurred at Accrington, Lancashire, and 20 at Wharncliffe Carlton, near Barns ley. The lowest death rate from explusions recorded in any one year wasin 1884, when the number was only 65, and of these 16 occurred at Tredegar, and 18 at Pen y Craig. The following year, however, the number had Of these there were 178 killed at the Clifton Hall Colliery, Lanca sbire. In 1886, of the 116 deaths from ex plosions, 38 took place at the Wovdhead | Colliery, Leigh, 22 at Altofts, near Leeds, and 28 at the Elemore Mine, in Durham. Up to the present time in 1887 the deaths from explosions have reached to 129, of which 73 occurred at Udstone, Blantyre, and 39 at Yrisher, near Pontypridd. ‘That the Mines act in force since 1873 bas greatly terded to lessen the death rate in mines from explosions appears to be unquestion able. This is shown in the returns, by which we find that the deaths from explo sions for the 12 years before the act came into operation was one for every 1450 per sons employed in and about the mines, and for the 12 years after the act came into force one for every 2005 persons so em ployed A A writer in the London Economist, dis | cussing German financial and industrial af fairs, reaches the following conclusions That the great influence exercised by bank ers and speculators in the management of industrial coucerns—directly or inditectiy imparts unsound impulses to the manage ment, and has already created a perilous state of affairs. 2. The principles of legiti mate business are sacrificed to the tenden- cies and the exigencies of speculation on the part of industrial concerns, as well |as on the part of the banks. 3. An indus- trial crisis—which inevitably will come— must perilously affect the entire banking world in Germany, threaten the existence |of many banks, ani spread ruin throughout the country. erties nak earl. = AS ea ee a ts 7 SP wtme Giada ata 4 se . 2 us ee ac WP erre s.r oe eee ee gee ee oe ee ee ee ee ae ee eee a Fey ae a eddies al a e-mail ae dt oe !

CAMBRIA LINK BARB WIRE, We call attention to the following points of superiority in this form of Wire Fence over all others : ist. It is a perfect chain with barbs, which is the correct principle for a Fence Wire. 2d. It can be stretched by hand to a perfectly straight line, and does not require to have the life pulled out of it by stretch- ers or crowbars to get it straight and free from kinks. 3d. Two strands of wire cannot be so twisted together as to give double the tensile strength of one. The Link Barb Wire is equal to any in strength. 4th. It isthe easiest and quickest to erect and the handsomest. sth. Note that the Barb is made of same size Wire as the strand, not a smaller size. 6th. None but the very highest quality of Strand Wire will stand all the bending and twisting necessary to form the Link. Common Fence Wire is not strong enough. 7th. It is as light as any good two point Barb. 8th. A gate can be formed at any post by merely bracing the post, carrying to next post and hanging it on hooks.
