The Massachusetts Cotton Miils corpora- tion of Lowell is reported as intending to extend its business by establishing a new mill at some southern point. The capital stock is now 1,500,000 and the ecorporation desires permission to increase this amount to 3,000,000 Two out of seven of the furnaces to be constructed by the company for the manufacture of the superior | Harveyized armor plates have been com- | pleted and ave ready for government inspec- { tion. The Bethlehem works ave now second | to none in the world in the quality of the snip armor plates which they turn out. The waste smoke and gases from the blast furnances of a Scotch iron works are rented for a handsome sum. From the works they | are conducted through several miles of wrought iron tubing, diminishing in size from six fect o eighteen inches, and us the ga cool there is deposited a considerable v of oil. I'rom a comparatively sm some allons of furnace oil are thus re- avered w y nothing of the yield of sulphate of ammonia and residual s which can be used as fuel for dis- ing and other purposes. An enormous planing machine has recently been completed in England capable of plan- ing a hlock thirty feet long. twelye feet wide and ter high over five of its sides at one setting. [t planes the top and sides simultan- eously with four cutting tools, two bemng carried by tool boxes on the cross slides, and ide in the boxes working vertically. e three faces are therefore dressed in | the usual manner by the longitudinal motion | of the table aad traversing of the tool boxes. For planing the nds of the block a lateral motion can be given to one of the tool blocks in the cross-slides. The latest device in coal mining operations is to bore through to adoned workiugs und fill them with culm, which solidifies rap- idly and furnishes an adequate support for the strata from beneath which the coal has been removed. The coal remaining in the | 0ld workings in the shape of pillars and sup- ports may then be taken out, leaving the solidified culm as the sole support of the superincumbent mass, The experiment is shortly to be tried on a large scale at the great Nottingham colliery near Plymouth, 1f suceessful it would change the entive aspect of the future of the conl mining industry The process of manufacturing cod liver oil at Portugal Cove, Newfoundland, is as fol- lows: It requires as a rule two and one-half gallons of liver to produce a gallon of oil, The hvers are fivst carvefully washed, and must then be “cooked” at once. For' this process they are first put into a large tin boiler, which is plunged into a large iron boiier filled with hot water, the water not being allowed to touch the livers, which are thus gently steamed till a quantity of oil is floating on the surface. This is dipped out and filtered through bags of moleskin, The ast filteration leaves the oil perfectly trans. parent, and without any unpleasint taste or smell. The oil is exported in 60-gallon casks. ‘The American Tron and Steel association has published the statistics of vroduction of pig iron in 1842, which show that it reached 10,255,840 tons of 2,000 pounds each. The pro- duction of Great Britain is not yet known | but it was probably about a%,500,000 tons, or | about 20 per cent less than thatof the United States. The consumption of iron and steel in the United States in 1842 amounted to 10, 918,451 tons of 2,000 pounds each ; stocks on | hand were about 105,000 tons less at the close | than at the beginning of the year, approxi | mating 560 000 tens.
