Patent Bronze Metal Sheathing
MANUFACTURED BY THE
-Ne,U BEDFORD Copper Co.

IN the manufacture of yellow Metal Sheatbinp. If
has been the universal practice hitherto as il Still
is with other manufacturers, to mmerse the sheets
after all rolling is done, in acid bath The effect
sought and obtained by this process is to give tbe
metal the fine yellow color to which it owes its dis
tinctive name.
But this effect is, of necessity, attended by results
injurious to the metal. The hard and highly nolish
cd surface formed on the sheets by successive heat
ing and cooling and the action OF the rolls "a re-
moved and surface left in its stead-bright indeed
siderably softer han the surface removed
No one can doubt that any given sheet OF sheath
ing metal must be better with hard smooth sur
1aeG ihan Win softer and rougher surface.
Ihis improvement in the art of sheathng ships has
Deen ecured by Letters Patent the United States
TO the New Bedford Copper Company.
Inc composition of this metal is exactly The same
as mat OF the yellow Muntz metal, the sole differ
ence being in the surface finish. 1t is believed that
TINS Is very important and will add months to the
wear OF the metal.
The Bronze Metal is sold at the same price as Vel
low Metal.

for several easons 1st their simplicity Of consruc
tion rendering them sure in their operation and not
liable to get out of repair 2nd the amount of work
done by each machine daily, and finally, the low
price for which they are sold.
These Machines are the only ones used by the Bay
State Brick Company Of Boston, in their extensive
Brick Yards where $50 M are manufactured in a day
by each machine, turning out II NJ in about eight

of which used to feed the boiler in the late
Mechanics Exhibition, and received a Medal. The
Committee of Examination say OF it., that he ar
rangement OF the valves is such, that the steam is
always in communication with the piston in one end
the other of the cylinder which renders it certain
AMI positive in its operation.

The progress Of the disease in Easteui Us

row attention.
The epidemic has broken out in Jassf, Fo.kt-

territory. l. Is to be presumed, also, that
the malady has resumed its activity In the
southwestern provinces Of European Russia,
as actlse measures aEainst It have been al
ready adopted in st. Petersburg.
In Holland the disease is widely prevalent.
From Its first appearance in May u to the
18th Of June Isl cases and 431 deaths had
been reported In Leyden; a1d cases and 13j
deaths In st. Grayenhage: 396 cases and 20
deaths in Dell los cases and 4ss3 deaths In
