him. The seventeenth structure OF the plant
is the playhouse, which is made to do duty
for the four factories. The structure is
150x75 feet, three stories high, with an ad-
dition to it for engines and boilers for the
grinding mills.
The material used in the structures is
sandstone of excellent quality. The roofs
are all of iron trusses and corrugated iron
and reach from side to side without support
ing pillars. The product of the plant will
be window glass exclusively 1t Is expected
that No. factory will be completed and be-
gin operations by November 1. No. will
be making glass two months later and Nos.
1 and 4 soou after. The fuel for the plant is
obtained from well owned by Chambers &
Mckee, 1000 feet from the works, and Is
supplied through two six-inch pines. The
well is ], 300 feet deep and shows a very
great pressure.
M'KEE BROS FLINT FACTORY.
Like the window glass works, the flint
factory is freproof throughout, built of
sandstone with iron roofs, and having plate
glass skylights in all departments needing
them. Across the switch from the stock
room OF No. window factory is the stock
room of the flint factory. This is a struc-
ture 225x65 feet, and is divided into mold
shops, moldrOom, engine room, mixing floor,
sandhouse and soda ash house. Much Of
the machinery is in place, and there is a
good stock of materials on hand to begin
work as soon as the first furnace is COM
pleted. The material is carried on trucks
into the furnace building, structure 225xSO
feet, all iron above the foundations. There
are three great furnaces. each of them for Is
pots Of q large size. Each pot measures 49,
inches front, and will hold two tons OF
melted glass. In fact each 15-pot furnace is
equal to the % pots in other factories.
The furnace building is a model es-
tablishment with fire brick floors, and every
improvement that will facilitate work and
give comfort to the men. Sixteen lears 90
feet long with 60-inch pans connect the fur
mace building with the lear room. This lear
room is part of four structures, all grouped
together with separate roofs, and so arranged
that if the material in any part Of them
should take fire, the flames could not com
municate with the other rooms. The lear
room in size is 180x40 feet, and Immediately
in its rear is the open goods house, 18Ox4O
feet. The packing room at the lower end Of
the structure is 1S0x30 feet, and the cutting
room at the north end is 116x65 feet. The
skylights in this structure will be of the

The Grnphophone in Medicine.

While discussing the graphophone as a
help to medical art in diagnosis, DR.. B. W.
Richardson lays great stress on its useful
ness in the matter of securing cough records.
To be able to compare cough of to-day with
a cough OF a month or year ago is consid-
erable clinical advantage, and may be so i'm
mediately available in the consulting room
that DR.. Richardson has decided to adopt it
in his own practice. For lecture purposes
also this part of the work would be most use
full, since every class of cough could be
tau ght tn the student by direct practice and
demonstration. The different kind of cries
indicative of different sensibiliTies to pain
can also be rendered diagnostically. In q
word, any sound whatever, indicative of
health or disease, and any animal motion of
health or Sisease that admits of translation
into sound, can now be recorded, made per-
manent. and reproduced any number OF
times, either for comparison, demonstration
or observation. The utilization of such a
power in medicine is likely to be continued
until it reaches all the greater departments
of the medical art.

Vulcanization of Rubber.

Rubber is vulcanized either in vulcanizers
or in steam presses. Vulcanizers are vessels
provided with steam-tight cover which
can be securely clamped down. They are of
all sizes and shapes, and placed either hori-
zontally or vertically. In the former in
stance they are usually very large, the cover
being hinged to one side of the opening, and
have tracks running into them, on which
are cars containing the goods to be vulcan
lied. All vulcanizers and steam presses are
in communication with the steam supply
pipes of the works, and are provided with
pressure gauges and thermometers in order
that those in charge may be enabled to regu-
late the inflow of steam, and the temperature
within. The vulcanizing medium, that is,
the medium in which the goods are placed
when run into the vulcanizer, may
be gaseous, liquid or solid, according to
various requirements. Air may be the
medium, or it may be water. or it may be
soapstone. The goods being placed into the
vulcanizer and the cover clamped down,
"live" steam is turned in and left on for a
length of time, varying with the require
ments Of the product whether it be light or
heavy, thick or thin, almost pure or heavily
adulterated. The time varies from half an
hour to several hours. The temperature
required for vulcanization also varies with
the nature of the product, being from 260o
Fair. to 5000 Fair. The latter temperature
is about as much as it can stand. When
the rubber is adjudged to be properly vul-
caniZed, the steam is blown off, the cover
unclsmped, and the goods taken out. They
are then cleaned and packed, unless they
require some special treatment, such as
polish or deodorization, and are ready for
the market.

A PHENOMENAL CITY.
Jeannette's Remarkable Boom and
Its Rapid Development.
NO NEED TO 60 WEST, YOUNG MAN,

Keystone State.
SOME FIGURES THAT TELL THE STORY

No more wonderful evidence exists in
pennsylvania or elsewhere of the results to
be obtained from the intelligence and en-
ergy of the American capitalist and manu-
facturer than in the growth of the little city
OF Jeanette that nestles in the beautiful
valley of Westmoreland county. Natural
gas, in itself a wonder, is the means by
which the manufacturing interests of West
ern Pennsylvania have been enabled to at
tain ideal results. All the new and i'm
mense expansion of industrial enterprises is,
in measure, confined to the natural gas
districts. The benefits arising from natural
gas can be readily calculated, when we
know that free gas to a plant like
the great Chambers & Mckee Glass Co.
means free fuel to each tank worth $40, 000
aggregating for the firm when finished the
large sum of $3.50, 900, or nearly 8 per cent
interest annually on the enormous amount
of $1O,O0O,OOO. Apply this to all
the factories now at Jeannette, VIZ: the
great glass tanks, the flint factory of II.
Sellers McKee, the brick yards, the planning
mills, to the immense factory of Hussey,
Binns & Co., the plans of which are about
complete, and the various other industries
planned for the place, and an immense
golden total in profits that nature supplies
free to all for the small expenditure of pipe
line and a we'll, astonishes the great
manufacturers who use coal as a fuel and
pay for it even the lowest possible prices.
The general tendency of the great facto-
ries of the country from the very necessi-
ties of the case is TO seek locations where

In addition, the Delaware Water Com
pany will have extended pipe lines dis
tance of 15 miles from Chestnut Ridge to
this point, delivering to the town from the
mountains million gallons daily OF pure
spring water.
The great glass works are accurately de-
scribed by j. NJ. Kelly, of the Glass Worker
and CoDlDoner, as follows:
The window glass plant in itself will con-
sist OF II buildings, or four completed
window glass factories. SO arranged that each
can be operated independently Of the other,
and the materials used in manufacture can
De received at the east side and loaded upon
the cars In boxes on the west side by con-
tlnuous method. A description of one of
the factories is description of all of them,
for they are identical as to size, construction
and method of work. The factories are
numbered 1, 2, 8 and 4, No. 1, abutting on
the 2. r. R. and on the creek, 1000 feet
away. To the east of the plant are the re-
ceiving tracks connected with the P. R. R.,
and to the west the shipping tracks. No. 2
factory was begun first, and is now fast sp-
preaching completion, No. following close
behind. When the material used in the
manufacture is received it is unloaded from
the cars on the receiving track into the
stockhouse This is a structure 15Ox80 feet,
divided into bins for keeping sand, soda,
lime, etc. In this structure. which is of
stone, with iron roof, and one-story high, is
also the mixing floor. The material, when
ready for the furnace, is taken on trucks
into the melting and blowing department,
also separate stone building with iron
roof. This structure is shaped like the re-
versed upper. end of cross, the spur con-
tanning the continuous tank. This spur is
170x6O feet in size, and the other end of the
structure is 180x90 feet in size. The furnace
itself is filed from the rear with the mate
rials from the stockroom. The front end
has "a openings for the gatherers, 6 on the
extreme end and 9 on each side. The tank
will hold about 600 tons of melted glass,
and as it is proposed to work three shifts
of men eight hours each, each tank
will give employment to 70 gatherers
and 70 blowers. Multiply that by four and
we have SIC blowers and gatherers who will
find employment there. AS each tank will
hold about 600 tons of glass, it is estimated,
taking the product at one-third double
strength and two-thirds single strength, that

finest plate glass, and will make the interior
as light as day. In the rear of the building
is the shipping warehouse and stock room,
225x100 feet. SO arranged with a turntable
for cars at one end of the structure that eight
cars can be loaded at one time. Like the
window factory, it Will be observed that the
product is moved automatically from the
furnace room into the cars, and there is no
rehandling.
The Jeannette Planning Mill Company is
the best of its kind, and gives employment
to 80 hands. The Standard Brick Company,
working double time. produce $4,000 brick
of superior quality daily. The great shovel
works of Hussey, Binns & Co. will employ
300 skilled workmen, making the finished
product from the raw material. The pay
roll now, weekly, reaches the sum of more
than $50, 900, and will later on more than be
doubled when all the machinery is in mo-
ton.
The method of making glass by tanks is q
new one in America, and its introduction
found many bitter and formidable enemies
who scattered broadcast over the land the
positive charge of failure aud bad product,
and it was with difficulty that the factory
could be manned. Nothing succeeds like

Producing Artificial Currents.

A novel method of removing or prevent
ing the formation Of sandbars at the en-
trance of harbors, inlets or rivers, has Just
been patented, which possesses at all events
the merit of ingenuity. 1t is designed to in
crease by artificial means the flow of the
current at certain points, and thus to wash
away the accumulation of matter and have
it carried away by the currents that have
helped to form the bar. These bars are
usually formed by the meeting of two oppo-
site currents. An incoming current from
the ocean and an outfowing current from
the river meet with about equal force at a
certain point, and any material carried by
these currents will be deposited at that
point, forming bar. II the force Of the
outgoing cnrrent can be increased so as to
be greater than the counteracting current at
one or more points this accumulation will
be prevented and the bar gradually worn
away. This is proposed to be effected BY
driving at high rate of speed the propellers
of vessels anchored in close proximity at
some point near the bar, when the swift cur
rent thus produced will, it is supposed, so
increase the force of the natural current al
ready existing as to secure the desired end.

center room will half each go into the two
packing rooms. There will be stalls tor "a
single strength and 8 double strength
cutters in each factory or a total o. "a single
and 90 double strength cutters in the plant.
From the packing rooms the product is
transferred on tracks into the last structure,
the shipping room. The building, ikeeVery
with iron roof and measures $50 feet long
BY 80 feet wide, and stock will be stored here
and loaded upon the cars, the floors Of which
will be on level with the floor Of the ware
house. This completes description of any
one of the factories, and if the reader will
not fail to remember that there are just four
such factories as described, the great size
and capacity Of the plant will not escape

that it will be success beyond doubt. In
fact, they anticipate even more success tEan

exclusively.
From the blowing department the cylin-
ders will be transferred on trucks into the

all. This immense stone building is 460
feet long and 195 feet wide. inside measure
ment, and has attached to the west side of it
sub-structure 460 feet long and 40 feet
wide. The main building contains eight
fattening ovens of a most improved style,
located in pairs down the center Of the
structure. The ub-building will be divided
into three cutting and two packing rooms.
Each cutting room on the ends will be 75x40
feet and each packing room next to them
95x40 feet. Between the packing
rooms is the third and largest
cutting room, 12Ox75. According to the
plans the product of the first two fattening
ovens will go into the first cutting room,
and the product of the four central fattening
ovens into the middle cutting room, and of
the last two ovens into the remaining
cutting room. The glass, when cut, from
the two end rooms will go into the packing

the first essential is close proximity to ma
ture'S great ideal fuel, natural gas. This
fact accounts for this industrial center that
gives employment to thousands of skilled
artisans and furnishes them comfortable
homes in the pure and healthy air of the
western slopes of the Allegheny Mountains,
close enough to Pittsburg to have the benefit
such city affords, and !, 100 feet above tide

the writer to reach new readers as well as

that have been read before by large part
of our people, but could not be better said

each factory will produce when in operation
$500 5O-foot boxes Of glass each week, or
over 1000 boxes day. MultiDly this by
four, the number of the furnaces, and the
entire product of the plant will lie "a. 300
50-foot boxes week. An ordinary ten-pot
furnace will produce about 900 boxes single
thick or 800 boxes. in the usual percentage
of single and double thick, per week. Put
that alongside of nearly 1000 boxes per
week, or, working A weeks year, the
product Of the Chambers & Mckee plant of
100000 50-foot boxes annually. This
comparison gives an idea of how much
superior the new plant will be. The con-
tinuous process requires no stop for filling

More ArtificinI Lsnther.

A still further addition to the numerous
recent forms of artificial leather is reported
from Germany. Very finely divided leather
cuttings are mixed with a solution of glue
and certain quantity of tannic acid until
a thick mass is formed, which is then
pressed into any required shape. To render
it more impervious to damp it is impreg-
mated with India rubber, glycerine and
linseed oil, and little sawdust is added.
The material becomes hard when dry, and
is said to be capable of being used for many
purposes as substitute for real leather.
The suppleness and durability of the imita-
tion, however, as compared with the real
article would appear open to doubt.
