The crucibles are all manufactured here, this
being a distinct branch of the business, the
company not only making all they use, but
surplus for the market.
The processes of file making are very cur
ious and interesting. After the iron is con-
verified into ingots, as above, the latter are
heated redhot in furnaces and beaten out
with ponderous steam hammers, aud then
passed through the rolling mills. The steel
after being cut up in pieces of the required
length is drawn out near may be into
the shape OF the file and sent to the forge
room, where it receives additional touches
Grind stones are now brought into play to
give the future file perfectly smooth sur
face. This done the work goes to the strip.
ping-room, where the file Is levelied 80 that
there shall be no inequalities in breadth or
! thickness thence to the annealing ovens to
soften the material. Then the file is straight
| ened from any warp it may have received
| from the heat and after being stamped with
the trade mark of the company is ready to
| out, or in other words tie receive those deli
| cate burrows without which 1t would not file
| The smooth file is placed perpendicularly In
/ an ingenious machine which, with the ut
most precision and greatest regularity, cuts
/ stroke by stroke, into the hard metal, never
hitting twice in the Same place, and gradual
ly covering the file with oblique lines which
forms the raspIng lace The coarser files are
made by indentations on the same principle
The file, being now cut, is covered with
paste to protect the teeth from being burned
upon being put into lead bath which is tn,
next process. Alter going through the lead
bath the file, Kissing hot, is plunged int
cold salt water. This is to temper or harder
the steel. 1t is now brushed off clean and
put into tub of lime water, where it re
mains TIL the following day, TO prevent rust
1t is then dried and oiled and sent up to b.
tested. Every file manufa ,tured passes
through the hands of the tester. If it doe
not come up to the standard of the first quail
ity, the brand "Whipple" is taken of ant
it is marked second" or third" quality a.
the case may be; or, if it is defective, it il
thrown aside to be broken up. After having
stood the test the files are again brushed off

of one day 1000. fles) going to marke, OF
the morning of the next. Thus it will be
seen so common thing as file goes through
an almost infinite variety of manipulation:
from the time it is converted from iron or,
into its form for use.

Manufacture. of Files.

Somebody puts the Whipple file factory.
and describes the mode of making files as fol-
flows:
The Whipple file manufactory is carried
on by an incorporated company with a cap
ital Of $1,000 900. 1t was established in
1860 and was the first to make files by ma
chInery, which was before pronounced an
possibility, hundreds of thousands of
pounds sterling having been vainly expen-
ded in Great Britain during the last century
in the attempt to use steam proftably in
this branch of the manufacturing business
1t employees $50 hands, of whom 80 are fe-
males. and the weekly pay roll foots up S35, =
600. AL varieties of rasp, square, three
square, and half-round files are made at this
establishment.
We were first show into the cutting room,
where $50 machines were at work pecking
away and making smooth steel rough. This
number is found to be insufficient and 40
more are being built. From thence we went
to the engine-room where there were three
large engines of two hundred aud fifty horse
power altogether thence to the forge-room !;
thence, to the grinding room, containing &c
large stones aud where we saw q machine
which grinds off the rough edges of So files
at once /; thence to the stripping room, where
the files are brought to dead level previous
10 their being "cut ;" thence TO the rolling
mill and trip hammer FORCES thence to the
room for apnealing or softening the file ;
thence to the straightening-room; thence to
the store room where the steel Is cut up for
the workmen and so on through all the var
ious departments.
The establishment not only manufactures
files, but also makes the steel that goes into
them. We saw the whole process The iron
is brought from Lake Champlain, some two
hundred miles distant. IL comes in small
square pieces which are placed in black lead
crucibles and put into the furnaces, and in
three hours the molten product is poured out
into moulds which form it into ingots. The
steam generated in heating the furnaces runs
the machinery of the whole establishment.-

The New steam Power.

There is now in operation at No. 90 West
Lake street, in this city, new kind of seam en-
gimme, known as "Danford's super-heated steam
generator engine :" which promises TO kill the
boiler business dead, and substitute in its stead
q machine at once safe, durable and economic.
THIS new generating engine has been in oper-
alton since June lst, and has been subjected to
all tests known to engineers and mechanics. 1t
has been run on a three days comparative trial
with one of the best locomotive boiler engines,
resulting in establishing the following facts
The Generator engine, with a surface of % feet,
used 80 lbs. of coal and So gallons of water per
hour - grind 81 bushals of corn, while the loco
motive boiler engine, with fire surface OF SO
feet, used lOl lbs. of coal and SO gallons of water
per hour to grind s bushels, the same mill being
used in both cases.
The inventor claims that the Generator engine
costs less than onehalf the price of the boiler
engine occupies less than haflthe spaceis less
than half in weight and effects saving of at least
40 per cent. in fuel Above ALL Il cannot JV any
possibility be exploded
The Generator is made of cast iron, boils no
water, and, consequently, makes no common
steam. 1t is brought TO the requisite heat while
entirely empty, the water Is then injected into
the centre Oft, and Immediately converted into
stpcrheded steam of 500 degrees temperature, and
having an expansive force Of three times that of
common steam.
Patents have been secured both in this coun-
try and in Europe, on the mode of generating
and using superheated steam. 4 company, with
capital stock of 50, 100000, has been organi-
zed, under the laws of the state of New York,
for the development and introduction Of the
machine, with Horatio Allen, of New York city,
president
A model engine is now being built at the Nov
city Works, New York and the great invention
will soon be ready for general introduction
1t is believed that, on account of its sim
plicity. economy, durability and absolute safety,
the Generator will soon supersede all the old
methods of making steam.
royalty per horse power paid to the com
pany will enttle manufacturers everywhere to
build the Generator engine. Communications

The question whether the species that de
stroys potatoes has existed for an indefinite
ly long time In Illinois, or whether it has
within the last few years emigrated thither
from the Rocky Mountain Region, may seen
to some of merely theoretical interest 1t Is,
however, of great practical Importance. On
the first supposition, it is not probable that it
will travel eastward on the second suppose
ton, it will most likely invade Indiana and
and Ohio within a few years, and finally pass
on to the Atlantic States.

G. V. X in the Prairie Farmer of August 8.

as perfect insects on the 10th OF July, thus
