STEEL Tools FROM CAST IRoN.-
Wonders are multiplying on every
hand, in the field of invent IN "a
we'll - of discovery. The
Barron's process for converting
Cast Iron Tools into Steel is q
wonderful operation. It is done
in this way: Tools are cast of iron
into the proper shape and are plsc-
ed in the ordinary revolving drum
for the removal of the adhe.ing
sand and the roughnsss Of The cast.
ing. They are then packed close
" in iron boxes, closely imbedded
in clay, where they are subjected
to the action of oxide of iron and
certain chemicals, by which the
iron is decarbonized. In these box
es they are subjected to an anneal-
ing heat for several days, after
wlllch they are put into a retort
capable OF containing q ton Of
tools, and are treated to an sppli
cation of gasoline and other car
bonaceous materials, which CON-
pletes the process and makes them
ready for tempering and polishing.
The quality of such tools has been
thoroughly tested, aud Professor
Newberry, of the School OF Mines
in Columbia College. New York,
bears this testimony to their excel
lence, he says: WITH Tailors'
Sheers cast in shape, made mslle-
able, and then converted by the
Barron process, have cut Flor
ence silk 80 nicely ~ to prove the
edge perfect; then. with the Same
Sheers, have cut up eheets Of Tin
and untempered Steel; returning to
the silkhave found the edge wholly
unimpaired, snd this after . repe-
tition Of more than twenty times.
Louisville is reported to be the
only city in the country where the
Barron process is used.
A late Liverpool paper says
The trade reports from the Hard
ware and. Iron districts are NOR,
satisfactory than those Of weel
since. The Birmingham accounts
say that no fears are entertained
now as to the maintenance of in
dustrial activity through the Win
ter. Orders, indeed, are not com
ing in very satisfactory but th
uncompleted engagements in NEAR

considerable, and stocks are not<
