Artificial SILK.

Mr.. Chardonnet has succeeded in
preparing a new artificial silk silk
which bears the same relation to the
natural article as celluloid does to ivory,
says the American Analyst: Its pre-
paration is somewhat as follows: Cellu-
lose Cotton or whatever may be avail
able), after being treated with a mix
ture of nitric and sulphuric acids in
equal proportion, us for the making OF
gun cotton, is dissolved in n mixture Of
alcohol and ether, to which is added
some p~erchloride of iron or ~protochlor-
ide of tin and fannie acid. The solution
thus obtained is placed in n vertical yes
sci terminating In u small tube or in q
diaphragm pierced with fine holes, SO
that it can run out into a vessel full "of
water slightly acidulated with nitric
acid. The fine fluid tilament which
comes out takes on Immediately Il more
or less solid consistency, and forms u
thread, which can be wound on u spool.
The thread thus obtained resembles u
silk very closely, and is equally strong
and elastic. 1t is not attacked by water,
cold or warm, nor by the acids and al
kalies moderately concentrated. BY in
PRODUCING into tho solution coloring ma
t~erials, one may obtain threads of any
desired shade.
This artificial silk is SAID to be eX-
tremely inlammable-an objection
which it is hoped to overcome. 1t is
probable that the nitric acid can be re-
placed by some other VIII CHI will render
it less combustible. When this prog
ress has been realized, we shall have n
new textile fabric of the greatest import
ance.

The Worlds Steam MACHINERY.

According to q recent publication Of
the statistical bureau at Berlin four
fifths of the steam machinery in the
world has been constructed within the
last twenty-five years. France has 49,;
500 boilers, 1000 locomotives, and l 400
ship boilers; Austro. Hungary, $4,000
boilers and 2,40O locomotives. In the
United States the steam machinery, ex-
elusive Of locomotives, has $500, 900
horse power; in England, 1000, 900; in
Germany, 4 1000 900; in France, 5000 900;
in Austro-Hungary, 1,5oO, 900. There
are some $4,000 locomotives, with
5000, 900 horse power, in the world.
All the steam machinery IN the world
possesses 40 600 600 horse power. The
one-horse power Of a machine operated
by steam is equivalent to the strength
of three ordinary horses, and the
strength of an ordinary horse is equiv
alent to the combined strength of seven
men. From all this the statistical bu-
reau at Berlin draws the conclusion
that the steam machinery of the world
does the work of 1000 100000, or twice
the working population of the globe.

The French Kill Swallows.

The department. Of the Bouches du
Rhone has hitherto been the chief land
ing place for swallows coming from
Africa. OF late engines for killing
them, formed of wires connected with
powerful electric batteries, have been
placed by the hundred along the coast.
When fatigued by their long sea flight
the birds perch on the wires and are
struck dead. The bodies are then pre-
pared for the milliner and sen to Paris
in crates containing thousands. 1t has
been noticed this spring that these
birds have avoided this district and
gone in large numbers further east to
other parts of Europe.

The ten-thousandth locomotive built
ut the Baldwin Locomotive works was
shipped from that establishment last
week to the Northern Pacific railroad
for service on the mountain division OF
that road. The engine is remarkable,
not only In bearing so high u consecu-
tive number among engines turned out
from n single establishment, but in
marking a distinctive advance in the
progress of locomotive construction,
which, among other causes, has made
United States less than in any other
country in the world, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger. 1t has a weight one
fourth greater than the largest freight
locomotive Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. and can haul, it is said, on a grade
116 feet per mile, combined with reverse
curves Of ten degrees, a train weighing
535 tons, of 2,43O pounds, Of cars and
load, of twenty loaded cars. On easier
grades, of say 52.S feet per mile, or l
foot per 100, its power is estimated at
] GOO tons, exclusive of it's own weight.
Its principal Dimensions are as follows:
Gauge, 4 feet 81 inches; actual weight,
in working order, exclusive of
tender, 10000 pounds; actual
weight on driving wheels, 135, 600
pounds; estimated weight of tender, in
Guiding coal and water, 5000 pounds;
estimated weight of locomotive and ten
der, in working order, 225, 900 pounds;
cylinders, 22X2S inches; driving wheels,
four pairs coupled, so inches; total
wheel base, % feet 3 inches; driving
wheel base, ID feet; total wheel-base of
engine and tender, 40 feet; boiler of
steel, tive-eighths Of an inch thick, ~
inches diameter; height OF center line
os boiler above rails, Z feet 8 inches;
fire-boX, 10 feet inch long by 42s inches
wide inside; tubes, 271 in number.
2@ inches in diameter, 10 feet 6 inches
long; heating surface, fire-box, 172
square feet; heating surface of tubes,
2,12l square feet; total heating surface,
1888 square feet; tank capacity, 5000
gallons. The Baldwin Locomotive works
were established in 1888, and twenty
eight years, or until 1861, were re-
quired for the completion of the first
1000 locomotives. The necessities OF
the wal and of'the period of railway ac-
tivity which followed, it greatly in
creased the demand for locomotives,
and but nine years were required for
the second thousand. The third thou
sand was completed in 1872, the fourth
III 1876, during the centennial, and the
fifth in 1880. Five Thousand more were
constructed during the nine years since,
the production for 1888 having been
1871 locomotives.

New Steel

The Redeman-Tilford steel process is
understood to consist of a bath of glyce-
rine and other ingredients, which
changes the whole structure OF the
metal and increases it's ductile and ten
sile strength far beyond any record that
has previously been established by pri-
vate or government tests. When il is
stated that the finest and strongest
grade of steel, much better than any
now in use, can be made by this process
at a little more than the cost of crude,
Bessemer steel, the value Of the discov-
cry may be appreciated.

Earthen Dams.

The unprofessional critics of engi-
neering work, who enlighten the gen
eral public through the daily news
papers, are sometimes led into error by
their imaginations. Numerous in
stances OF this have occurred in the
discussions on the breach of the Cone
maugh dam, with the result, we fear, of
exciting the fears of many good people
who believe what they read in their
paper, however contrary to reason and
experience it may be, says Il writer in
the Engineering and Building Record.
One Of these instances is worthy of
notice. Owing to what we prefer to
think must nave been an error in the
from II civil engineer at Johnstown,
several editors gushed forth in columns
of print, and some of the clergy poured
out their souls in sermons, ~denouncing
the depravity Of the man who would
build an earthen dam to hold pack
water. THIS would be amusing were it
not unjust, and likely to cause needless
alarm in many places.
1t is recognized as a well-established
principle by hydraulic engineers that,
for absolute safety and durability, an
embanliment of good earth, homo
gcneous throughout and properly con-
structed, forms the best dam that can
be used to impound a large volume of
water.
The ideal dam may be said to be a
mass Of ~gravelly earth of sufficient
weight to resist the thrust of water; so
compact MS to prevent the percolation
of water; so protected on its exposed
faces as to prevent its being penetrated
by cells and musk rats, and such yer-
min; so interlocked with the surface on
which it rests that water cannot pass
through the connection; with a facing
OF such material and slope that rains
will not gully nor waves wash the bank
away, and build high enough above the
water level SO that its top cannot be
overlooked.
Variations from this type of dam are
permissible in the interest of economy
OF construction. Where material Of
is difficult to obtain, the area OF the
perfectly %impervIous and homogeneous
mass may be reduced and material less
carefully selected and placed added,
merely for mass and weight and pro-
lection. The central core is then styled
a puddle wall. Orthe core may be made
OF masonry OF any thickness. The
cheapest and poorest type of this kind
OF word Is u stone wall two to three feet
thick, with an embankment on each
side of it. Such a wall adds nothing TO
the stability of the dam, but is rather a
detriment. Its function Is merely to
arrest p~ercolation of water and prevent
penetration Of vermin.
Few examples of this type of dam are
to be found outside of the New England
states, we believe. 1t Is not the type
recommended or adopted by the best of
the American civil engineers OF the
past half century.
The homogeneous earthen dam is the

ElectropIating Glass and. Porcelain.

This has been accomplished by M.
Hanson, of France. The chief difficulty
heretofore has been to obtain a conduct
ing surface to which the metal would
adhere. The patentee uses chloride of
gold or platinum dissolved in sulphuric
ether, to which sulphur dissolved in
this compound is laid on with a brush.
The object is then heated until the sui
phur and chlorine is completely vola-
tized, the gold or platinum adhering
closely to the surface.
