INDUSTRIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW DRY GAS NLTER.-Messrs. Lyon & Dickinson
of Newark, j., have just pate nted meter supposed
capable if well constructed of overcoming all the df.
fculties now experienced. No water or other fluid,
ard no piston cylinder is employed The gas is ad
mted into kind of bellows of thin metal disks which
opens by the pressure like accordion, and changes
email delicate valve, thus admitting the gas first in
side and then outsde, that the bellows i contin
ually and slowly in motion.
ANOTHER ADJUSTABLE "CrI OrF."-Mr John :.
Sbspter 6 the Allaire Works in this city, has iut
patented cut of for large steam engines, by which
each valve, after being raised by the machinery, %
usual is entirely sustained upon fluid in tight sup
porting chamber until at the desired point in the stroke
Of the piston the release of the fluid allows the valve
rapidly but quietly 10 close. 1t is being attached
the steamer c. Vanderbilt.
CoKE foR LoCoMoITES.-The Hudson River Rail
road has been trying lot Of English coke as exper
iment in common locomotive. Ii burned well and
made steam freely, but often generated so intense
he at in spots ss to melt the grste bars. This was
fault peculiar the clinkerng of this particular kind
which was offered very cheap, as lot of American
coke tested soon after offered such difficulty. The
Railroad Adrocafe remsrkng upon this, observes
that the early engines the Liverpool and Msnches-
ter Railway used sometimes 20 have new set Of fire
bars melted down in single trip, but since companies
have taken pains to oh. ain coke of a suitable quality
there has been little trouble. Coke now universally
employed on the English lines Of railway, and its
adoption American practice would get nd Of sparks
and spark catchers and also to great degree smoke
QUICK NAUTICAL CoSsTRrcTIos.-A "gun boa. q"
Of 1000 uns burden lso feet long, so wide and 10
deep was present at the late naval review Ports
mouth, which not contracted for until the lst of
January last. The Scientific american very Justly
takes occasion to contrast this with the slow progress
of our Government in the construction of our floating
battery for New.York Harbor, which has been some
ten years In progress.
PAPER MAyUFAcTrRE.-Therea are twenty paper
mills in the single Town Of Lee, in Massachusetts,.
Grea; improvements have been made in this branch
of industry within the last few years. In six hours
after passing into the mill rags may be converted into
the finished article. About 900 hands and IS steam
engines are employed in these mills, and about
IL 900 600 70 Of ras are converted into paper per
annum.
