Machinery Without Oil.

Metaline is a new discovery in me-
chanical science which has attracted
much interest among mechanical men,
and from its peculiar importance bids
lair to command general attention
The amount of oil consumed for lubri-
eating purposes reaches an enormous
aggregate, while its use requires coh-
slant care and attention, The mate
rial to which The name ''metaIine" has
been given is intended to entirely Oh
viate the necessity of the use of oil
II is a solid, com posed of metallic al
Toys, first reduced to Il fine power. then
compressed into solid plugs. which are
inserted in one of the rubbing surfaces.
When once applied it is claimed il
needs no renewal, care or attention,
and the machinery thereafter needs no
oil. The publishers of the New York
EUcniag Post, having watched the
progress of the invention with interest,
"A few weeks ago had metaline applied
to one of the large pulley5 in their
press room, and lhc result, they say,
has proved so successful that they are
having it applied TO other portions of
the machinery. 1t Is stated also that
two of the elevators in the new post
office in New York are to re fitted
with it. and a number Of large estab-
lishments. noticeably \. T. Stewart q,
Co., have adopted it. 1t will be re-
membered that this invention was the
cause of disagreement between the
Americas Institute in New York and
Professor Chandler last winter, which
led 10 his resignation from its board OF
direction. Should the invention ac-
tuaIly prove to be worth all that is
claimed for it. the story of factories
and other buildings burning on ac-
count of over-heated journals and from
spontaneous combustion produced 10y
oil will 10 longer eC an everyday
affair.
