NDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS Neow Ideas Worked Out, Patented and Put in Operation, THE WIDENING FIELD OF ELECTRICITY | Progressin That ~Novel € Patent (¢ Mechanh lence Partioularly Notable 1 by the Useful 1cos Approy New and About three division of the Dey ars ago the forestr, rtment of Agricul- ture published a large report on the use | the objects | s of | of metal ties on railways, being to encourage an economical u; wood and the introduction of stecl ties if possible. Mr. estimated at that time that the railways of the coun- try required the best timbor from 1,000,- 000 acres of forest land annually. report was wide ted and aroused an interest in the subject of all-metal track which has not yet abated. time ago it was announced that metal ties had been abandoned ufter a long trial on the Pennsylvania lines in thi country and the State railway in Bel- gium. This has stirred up an Austrian engineer of prominence, William Ast who nims that at least the Belgian were badly conducted, and failure natural. He states that on the Kaiser Frederick Northern railway in Austria metal tios have been used with entire satisfaction fc it nine years. Afte comparat trinls for this time the metal ties are still pra 18 good as new, while the oak tic 10w con- siderable deterioration.

Moreover, he claims that steel employed in making the ties was much too brittle for the purpose, as was shown by the fact that in wunching holes for the fastenings hair eracks appenred were =0 badly designed that they quickly became loose, it is natural that passing trains should break up the rock ballast and produce an unsatisfactory ghort time, but Mr. Ast claims that with a well designed all-metal adway the results Wwould have been quite different.

The company has decided, after long trials on isolated carriages, to ex- periment on a large sc Th rent s obtained from storage batteri plying lamps of 6, 8 and 10-candle {:n\' r, according to the cars. The bat- ories, mounted in boxes in groups of two, are very portable. Eight of these double cells are suspended bencath the frame of the car, where the arc accessible from the steps and closing in by door The whole of the cells, together with their carriers, weigh 8,581 pounds. Thirty-volt lamps ave used, of 10-candle pow for first class car andle power for second and 6-candle power for third class and lava- tories of all classes, so that a good light is provided throughout. The lamps arve carvied by a hardwood cylinder; carry ing lamp socket and reflector, the latter being very white enameled ivon. This apparatus is slipped into the lantern. taking the place of the oil lamp. Two switches ave fixed in alittle box at either end of the car, so that the lamps can be ~lighted or extinguished from the outside. The connections are so arranged that the batteries can be charged without taking them out of the compartments. The cables, which ave made specially strong to stand the wear and tear, are run along the roof and held in place b soldered zine clips. One great advantage of this method is that, should at any moment the ¢il lamps be required, all that is necessary is to open the lantern, take out the electric lamp with socket, and slip the oil lamp into the same place. Triple Expansion Engines. One of the features of recent electrical work is the use of triple expansion en- ines of the marine type, coupled divect 0 two multipolar dynamos, one being placed at each end of the shaft for cen- tral station work. An engine of this type, recently tested at Milwaukee, varied in speed only 1.7 per cent from no lcad up to full load, although the elec- trical conditions under which it was working were unfavorable. It is of the 700-horse power machine, triple expan- sion, three-crank inverted cylinder condensing type, designed for an initial steam pressure of 160 pounds, and 8 vacuum of inches, The cylinders are 163, 281 and 384 inches in diameter, have a stroke of 30 inches and are all steam jacketed. They ave filled with double-ported, balanced piston valves, one for the high pressure cylinder and two for each of the others. denser is in the foundation box, and of the surface pattern, with 1,00 tubes 9 feet 6 inches long. The shaft is of forged steel 8 inches ameter, with cast iron balanced disks, to which the S-inch crank pins are at- tached. There are two bearings to each orank, and an additional large bear- ing on each end of the shaft to carry the armature. On the shaft ave three eccentrics, each operated by its own independent governor of the disk type, 80 that the point of eut-off in cach ey lin- der, ranging from 0.08 to 0.75 stroke, is changed equally with the load. A straight-line separator is placed on the steam pipe leading to the engine, allow- ing dry steam only to enter the cylinder. In addition to this a straight-line grease extractor is placed on the exhaust pipe leading from the low pressure cylinder to the condenser. Speaking generally, it may be said that these engines follow the latest types in use on ceean steam- ships, with necessary additions to render them as efficient for electric generating purposes as for marine work.

The wheels are of phosphor bronze with tioned stecl blades and each develops 600 horse power. This power is transmitted from a five-foot e wheel to a twe foot rope wheel nine feet above, through teen nil ' s 1§ inch in diameter. The pr tension on these ropes was obtained by means of tightener wheel in- an adjnstabie frame. Each wheel has its own llume and gate | and can be used sepavately.

It is proposed that owners of country houses should combine and have their electricity generated and distributed from a central station At some fixed place, preferably the railway station, an clectrie station “under skilled manage- ment should distribute the power at high pressure.

Pope in the Engineering Magazine as follows It scems to be pretty conclusively tablished that a commercially tisfuc- tory system of underground wires has resulted from the work of the past five or six years; t this is far liable to interruption than any overhead sys- tem which can possibly bo devised, and that it is less dangerous to human life; while, on the other hand, its first cost is ‘normously greater—certainly not less than five or six times as much for a given number of points of service—it is in many respects cumbersome and in- convenient, lueking the flexibility and adaption to different conditions of the overhead system, while its cost pre- cludes its extension to sparsely settled | districts, which must either by ched | by acrial wives or not at all. The mere subway rental of the w in the Pifth avenue, New York, is said to amount to about 32 cents per lamp per night.

We cannot ex- pect foreigners to take freely the latter cluss of nvestments until the country has protected itself against the possibility of in- arring further commitments to the silver dungoer; but it is something to have these evidences of a willingness to take sceurities legully payable in gold; for, after all, the bulk of our corporate mortgages are made oxpressly payable in that form of money. To this extent we are protected against inordi nate veturns of securities to the home mar- ket and are assured of an outlet for them in periods of depression or disturbance on this side the Atlantic. Exports Have In his weekly letter business of Wall street, overy is not yet complete. with foreign markets eatl; Imorove I Another point of improvement in thesitus tion has arisen from an increase in the ex- povts of products. The late large shipments of wold have been lyrgely caused by the lightness of the exports of produce since January 1. That decrease, however, hus not been due to any lack of surplus commoditics for shipment: on thg contrary, the “visible supply’ of wheat und corn exceeds that we held at the same season following the un- precedented crops of 1801, The accu tion of grain is dud to our market being by speculation avove) the Europc Ihe export of vetton haus strained by similir causes. only a question of tijne when speculative holders must be compelled to accept the Buropean range of yalues; and the strin gency in money and the caution among lend- ers may be expected to apply that compul- sion at no distant diyi While, therefore, it must be expected tHat for the next wecks we shall stand exposed to the export of more gold, yet ‘it seems reasonable to expect that sich shipments will be mate sened by exports from this extraording arplus of products. ~ Uude the circy ances, therefor it likely turn out that' the unusual ports of specie u months were in ipate of what invariably takes place in the spring months.

FOKREIGN FINANCIAL REVI Markets Influenced by the Situation in the Unlted States—Othel Loxnos, March 11:=Discount rates were firm during the past week at 13 for three months and 2 for shégt.

High class investment stocks and home and Indian funds have been especially affected by the talk of probable borrowing by the Umited States.
