ITEMS FOR MECHANICS.

The average rate Of speed Of good elo.
vator run by hydraulic pressure Is four hun
dred feet per minute.
THE breaking strain OF iron and steel does
not (as hitherto assume.) indicate the quail
ity A high breaking strain may be due to
hard, unyielding character, or q low one
may be due to extreme scftness. The con-
traction Of area at the fracture forms an es-
sential element in estimating the quality.
To CLEAN rusty iron dip it for several
hours in pretty strong solution Of chloride
Of zinc; il the solution has an excess
Of zinc the clean iron will be attacked.
When tho rust is removed wash with water,
then with ammonia, and dry rapidly. The
appearance OF objects treated in this way is
like frosted silver.
ACIDS in lubricating oils may be detected
by analysis in a laboratory, or by putting
the sample to be tested in clear glass bot
tie with copper wire running down through
the cork, air-tight; stand the whole in a
sunny place for two or three weeks, and
then, on removal, if verdigris or green rust
appear on the copper, an acid is in the oil.
A REMARKABLE limitation Of black walnut
may be manufactured from poor pine, the
quality and appearance Of the article being
such as to defy detection, except upon
very close examinations. To accomplish
this. one part of walnut peel extract is
mixed with six parts Of water, and with this
solution the wood is coated. When the ma.
terial is half-dry. solution Of bichromate
of potash, with water, is rubbed on it, and
the made walnut is ready foruse;
IT is found that, in painting wood, one
coat takestwenty pounds of lead and four gal
Ions Of oil per one hundred square yards; the
second coat, forty pounds lead and four gal
Ions oil, and the third the same as the sec-
ond; say one hundred pounds of lead and
sixteen gallons Of oil per one hundred square
yards for three coats. The number Of square
yards covered by one gallon Of printing
color is found to be fifty; of white zinc,
fifty; Of white lead paint, forty-four; Of
color, forty-four; Of yellow paint. forty
paint, forty-tive.
Brass is an alloy Of copper and zinc: made
by plunging copper in slips into melted zinc
in o crucible. The former metal rapidly
combines with the fluid mass, and the addi-
ton is continued until an alloy is formed
somewhat difficult to melt, when the re-
mainder ofthe copper is at once added. The
brass thus formed is broken into pieces and
remelted in crucible over charcoal fire,
and a proper addition OF either zinc or cop
per made to bring it up to the color and
quality desired. It is then poured into gran
ito molds. The addition of tin gives it ha:d-
ness and grain, and lead toughens and rem
ders it filter for working. Another method
for making small quantities of brass is to
melt the copper and zinc in separate cruel
bles, and then pour them together, stirring
vigorously until thoroughly combined. OF
course it will be necessary to add a aux to
the copper to aid in the fusion.

THE SWINE PLAGUE.

Lime as an Effective and Safe Disinfect-
ant in Hog Cholera.
Experiments made with lime upon
the virus of hog cholera have been
very satisfactory and sufficiently posi-
tive to warrant its use in place of the
corrosive sublimate formerly recon-
mended. Lime has many advantages
over other disinfectants. It is cheap,
easily obtained and prepared and may
be used with impunity, as it has no
poisonous properties. Bacteria of hog
cholera, free from any organic or in
organic matter, are destroyed within
one hour by lime water diluted to one
fourth of its original strength. When
existing in organic matter a larger
per cent. of lime is required. In prac-
teal applications it will be efficient on
wood as a whitewash. In infested
pens the soil should be covered with
powdered or Stacked lime in thin
layer. The lime water will percolate
into the deeper layers of the soil and
destroy any bacteria that may have
penetrated into them from the surface.
From experiments on the vitality OF
hog-cholera virus in the soil it is safe
to say that a period of six months is
the maximum and three the minimum
time that need be allowed for infected
pens and grounds to become safe for
occupancy when no 0isinfection is
practiced. Lime as whitewash or
woodwork or scattered over the soil at
Stacked lines, used, in short, wherever
there is any suspicion of virus, may. re.
duce the time during which the ground
should remain unoccupied to two
weeks. ..... d, .....+... ... ...-s...- s ''
From the results of the experience
gathered at the Experiment Station
.-.ring the past three years it has beer
s.>own ~ that healthy PTS can be
Kept free from Infection, even on 9
farm where such disease is constantly
kept up for purposes of Investigations,
provided they are kept in clean pens
and there is no transmission of virus
from the sick to the we'll through i'm.
PIGMENTS, or through the carelessness
of farm-hands carrying it in their
clothing, shoes or otherwise. (2)
That the disease may be carried to S
previously uninfected locality by pigs
brought from unknown sources. (3)
That the disease, supposed to be OK
tinct, may Turk in chronic form in
some animal without being recog.
nized, and may be thus transmitted to
fresh animals, usually In spring and
fail, when least expected. (D That
the safest way of raising swine is to
breed them on place that is itself
known to be absolutely exempt, and
maintain a strict quarantine against
neighboring herds, and make no addi
tons unless the source be positively
known to have been free from disease
for at least one year past AZ y.
