UNPARALLELED FEAT IN IRON FOUNDING
SEVENTY Two Tons OF METAL AT ONE HEAT.
We have already noticed the fact that prepar-
atoms were progressing at the Fort Pitt
works in this city for the manufacture of
twenty-inch guns, the lathe, patterns, &c.,
being in an advanced condition. As the ex-
pertinent OF manufacturing gun of such a
calibre, however, is one of great risk, it was
determined to settle at least one point practi-
cally before attempting to mould the great
gun, by moulding, at single heat, nearly the
same quantity OF metal as would be required
for the twenSJ-inch. For this purpose two
guns were moulded of the fifteen-inch navy
pattern, and each furnished with Il twelve
inch instead of fifteen-inch hollow core,
making the rough weight of each of the guns
nearly as great as that of the columbiad fiji
teen-inch. These moulds were placed side
by side in the pits of the new foundry, and on
Saturday morning five of the new furnaces in
the foundry were charged-three for the spe-
clal purpose OF casting the great guns and
two for the ordinary work of the shop. The
respective weights of these charges will give
some idea of the capacity of these enormous
furnace, being thirty four, nineteen, nineteen,
thirteen, aud eight. and half TOMS and far
greater amount of metal, we believe, than
was ever reduced in furnaces in single es-
Enlistment in one day. Seyenty-twO tons of
this metal, being the charge of the three large
furnaces, were designed for the casting of the
experimental guns. The metal was led from
each of these furnaces to large pool equi-
distant from each of the moulds, and commu-
nicatng by two ''runners" with the ''gates."
"About o'clock the three furnaces were \
tapped III quick succession, and in moment
three streams of molten iron were pouring
into the pool, from which, as the metal rose
To the level of the openings, two fiery lines
shot into each of the moulds The intense
heat of the iron pouring along these seven
streams, with the molten mass in the reser-
vor, seemed to have no extraordinary effect
on the workmen, who performed their accus-
toned duties Of Swimming and clearing the
moulds with rs much indifference as if the
glowing metal surrounding them, and filling
the air with showers Of sparks, were harmless
streams of water. Familiarity with such sit
uations is apt to breed contempt of danger,
but we Leieve no accident ever yet occurred
at the works during the operation of casting.
Notwithstanding the unusually risky charac-
ter OF the experiment on Saturday, every
thing passed of successfully, and the streams
of hot metal and cold water, crossing and in
terlacing on their way, poured into the
moulds without accident. The success of
the experiment abundantly demonstrates the
capacity of the works for the manufacture of
guns of 20-inch caber."

Wounded and alone, the din of battle still
