DITIgR MEANS OF UTILIZING OUR PRESENT
WATER SUPPLY.
70 the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: About year ago, after the Chicago
re you published letter from originally addressed
to the Mayor OF Chicago. advising the construction OF
special waterworks In cities for use In extDguishng
fires cleansing streets &C.. but arranged that these
works might distribute water throughout the more
dcnsoy settled portions OF the cities under sufficient
pressure permit ts being used power 10 drive
prlnng-presses elevators and light machinery gene
rally. stated that the greater safety OF life and
property consequent upon the abandonment OF tho
numberess small steam boilers I'm our warehouses;
stores, and other buildings, would alone make this
plan worthy OF consideration That L was we'll
advised in the statement IL proved ny the
fact that the great Boston fire originated from
the furnace of of such boilers The old adago that
prevention is better than cure should be Kept IN mnd
IN all arrangements TO take care OF fires, and, while
decidedly favor the Holly system OF water-works ad-
coated recently in your columns IL must DO clear that
II that or similar system be carried out SO tha,
while aording protection against the spreading OF nres
Il will diminish tho chances of their origin and at the
same time DO less sefsupportng IL will DO OF
great advantage TO the city do0t Of course pretend
that such mode of supplying power will be absolutely
economical all cases. but it will be so where only
small power and for intermittent shall he required
And as the city shall adopt any system IKE the
Holly 1t will have to keep constant pressure In the
water pipes and maintain the pumps IN readiness for
ruppying largo volume OF water at that pressure, IT
WILL think, find it economical to supply water for
driving small water engines on terms which VIII make
them cheaper all things considered than the steam
engines in
THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR.
Tho pressing question, however. IA not how 10 get
larger supply of waterfor the solution of this problem
will involve long time and great expense. and should.
therefore, receive very careful consideraton-0ut IL Is
how we may prepare speedily possible, and with
the least expense to utilize adyantageousy the water
we have at command. Every experienced fireman ana
every observant person who has watched the quenohng
Of fires by the apparatus in use is aware that in
large CONGREGATIONS fully threeourths of the water
delivered by our engines fails TO be of service n

PETIT JURORS.

p STEVENSON &. Co.'S. FouNDRY.-This is
decidedly one IF die iasfitutions Of liz. eit,:
its establishment here was somewhat Of an
experiment on the part Of Mr.. Stevenson,
but. the success with which it has met proves
that the want which called for it was real
one.; A considerable force OF hands
is kept in steady employ ment, and large
amount of work is being constantly turned
out. Quito an addition in the way of new
buildings will soon be made.
Iii quite interesting to watch thesopera-
ton of melting and moulding. The ':cupo-
la' is large cylinder-shaped receptacle,
into which are placed alternate layers of
coke and pig metal mixed with scrap iron.
One bushel of coke will melt about 500
pounds of iron. A current of air is forced
into the cupola by a ''blower." This our
rent has its partial escape though an orr
fee, about one inch and shalt in diameter
near the foot of the cnpola.. Soon asbluelsb
flame comes rushing cut with the.air, and
grows more and more intense, until in
about fifteen minutes thin stream Of melt
ed iron begins to flow The hole is3 then
stopped up with clay, shioh almost imme-
distely bakes hard. when. sufficient
amount Of iron has melted for tho purpose
required, the hole is re.opened, and the
glowing stream allowed to flow into ladies,
in which it is carried and poured into the
moulds. These ladies are Of metal lined
with clay, a nd hold from forty to six hun
dred pounds.
For every article manufactured pattern
must first be made. These patterns are
usually made Of wood, but iron, PLASTER of
paris, wax, &c., are also used. This is enc
of the most expe nsive parts Of the foundry
business. The pattern is placed in a wood.
en- box, called ''aask," and sand packed.
closely around it. The pattern is then
removed, and the t'fask" closed together
and clamped, with hole left in the top for
pouring the metal INTO the sand 'smould."
Thin pieces Of metal will cool sufficiently in
twenty minutes, while some heavy castings
require to be left in the mould for several
days. After being taken from The moulds,
the sand is removed from some pieces BY
hand, and from some by securing bar
rels" run by steam power. Unless there
is some extra finishing to be done, the cast
ing is then ready for delivery. All kinds
Of casting, both in Iron and brass, is done
and oil finishing, of whatever nat1re desir
ed, is done in the shop.
l. The present members Of the firm are ].
