New Mode of Engraving,

A French scientist has lately introduced
8 process for the engraving OF designs on
wood, leather or similar materials by means
Of pencil or tool, the point of which is
constantly at red heat. Alter a series of
experiments with hot irons and platinum
wire heated by electricity, a special tool was
finally devised by the inventor of this
process, which renders the operation ex-
tremely simple. The tool in question is
another application of the cautery instru-
ment used by surgeons. The pencil has a
wooden handle upon which is mounted
small platinum tube with fine point. Two
separate receptacles communicate with the
tools by means o. rubber tube; one of
these contains a hydro-carbon, such as
alcohol, benzine or wood spirit, and the
other contains compressed air. A constant
dow Of the hydro-carbon vapor is main
tained at the point of the tool, which is
thereby kept in state of intense heat.
Both receptacles are provided with regu-
lating apparatus, by which the supply of
ink can be adjusted or cut of, as desired.
The operation OF tracing designs on wood
work and leather is thus simplified to the
utmost possible extent. A tracing OF the
design is made on the article to be orna-
mented, and any degree OF relief is instantly
effected, very little skill on the part OF the
operator being required. The new process
will be of the greatest service to book binders
carpenters and others, as we'll as affording q
ready means of labelling cases, barrels, etc.

maintains that the heating Of large blocks
can thus be reduced very considerably.
unskilled Attendants.


The recent fire at the Grosvenor Gallery
station in London is commented upon by an
English electrical journal and made to
strengthen an urgent plea for the employ
menr of only highly trained and competent
men in situations Of responsibility connected
with the electric lighting industry. To
show the danger of placing important in
stallations in charge of incompetent and
illiterate men, a case is instanced where a
first-class installation for several hundred
lights is erected by an electrical firm. The
house to be supplied with current is say, a
mile away from the generating plant, which
is erected alongside Of, and forms part Of
large manufacturing premises. The man in
charge is simply boiler stoker. and his
duties include stoking two large boilers,
driving several engines and pumps in differ
ent parts and, as q sort of make-weight, at
tending to the electric installation.
The plant, except the accumulators, is en-.
tirely in charge of this man, but as to the
generation of the current he knows abso-
lutely nothing. He doesn't know what
speed the engines or dynamo run at or the
difference between a volt and an ampere.
He simply hes mark on the two gauges"
and when he reaches these he stops the
engine. What the engines are doing while
running he knows not, and as to leakage
or short circuit he is in blissful ignorance.
The question is asked: SIS it not self-evi-

Electrical Invention.

The DRIFT and tendency of electrical in
vention is an interesting thing to study.
Telegraphic inventions to-day, though quite
numerous, are but very small proportion
of the thousands of electrical patents now
issued yearly. The same may be said of
telephony, although a number of modifca-
tons ale made from time to time in switch
board apparatus; but it is expected that
there viii be quite an outburst of inventions
IN this Held during the next two years, as
the first of the controlling patents of the
telephone expires in 1898; and should any
opposition companies then start up, as it is
probable they will do by the dozen, it will
be necessary for them to be equipped
thoroughly with the most economical and
efficient apparatus. Until very recently it
was the electric light that commanded the
attention of the electrical inventor, but at
the present moment the electric railway
offers 1t serious competition as an attraction
10 inventive genius and the Patent Office
every week is issuing large numbers of pat
ents on electric railway motors, overhead
trolleys, overhead switches, methods of gear
ing, traction-increasing devices, storage
batteries for traction purposes and a vast
variety Of other apparatus.
A great many patents are also being
issued not only for electric railway conduits,
which will obviate the necessity of using
overhead trolley wires, but for conduits to
accommodate all classes of wires. 1t lis some
wears since electrical patents have been sold
for such large sums o. money as were OBJ
tsined here and abroad for the arc lamp the
incandescent lamp, and the various early
forms OF dyuamos; but enormous sums of
money in the aggregate are being made out
of the lesser inventions of the day, and at
mil h.
made, like that of electric welding, which
will at once bring new art into existence,
and create an another group of electrical
fortunes. Inventions by the score are still
needed in such departments as electric heat
ing, electro-deposition of metals, the distri-
button OF currents, the working of metals by
electricity, and the application of power to
all manner of industries, and it is believed
that no better field of work invites the
activity OF the inventor to-day than elec-
tricity in its newer manifestations

The Manufacture of Plato GIass.

The casting table of a plate glass factory
is about 20 feet long, IL feet wide and 7
inches thick. Strips Of iron on each side
afford a bearing for the rollers, and deter
mine the thickness of the plate to be cast.
The molten glass is poured on the table and
the roller passing from end to end spreads
the glass to uniform thickness. The glass,
after cooling rapidly, is transferred to the
annealing oven, where it remains several
days. When taken out it is very rough and
uneven, and in that state is used for sky
lights and other purposes where strength is
desired rather than transparency. The
greater part of the glass, however, is ground,
smoothed and polished.

rPRKPAREp FOR THE DIsPATcH.I


A revolution in the dyeing industry dates
from the discovery of the first artificial coal
tar dyestuffS. In this country there are
several places where the manufacture Of
these products is carried on, but, as a rule,
the number of dyestuffs made in any one
place is somewhat restricted, and in some
cases the entire product is confined to a very
small number, as magenta, cotton blue, etc.
In England, France, Germany and other
countries, but especially in Germany, this
industry has attained its greatest growth,
and in some cases the works are so large as
TO resemble small town or village.
The earlier artificial dyestuffs produced
shades so much more beautiful than those
produced with the natural dyestuffs that, at
first, the accompanying lack of permanency
was not so much considered As time went
on, however, there was a reaction, and de-
mand for fast and bright colors arose, and
has of late years been maintained. One
great advantage in the use of artificial dye
stutfs is that in each group of those dyed in
the same way are those which will produce
the three primary colOrs, so that, by proper
combination, all shades can be produced in
, one dyeing operation.
As the natural dyestuffs do not possess
this advantage, and many of the shades pro-
duced by them require two or more dyeing
operations, the result has been that they
have been largely displaced by the artificial
products, and only those which present some
special recommendations meet with any ex-
tensive use. Principal among these are log
wood, fustie, indigo and cutch, all of which
are used In enormous quantities; but even
now the first and last have strong competi-
tors in the artificial dyestuffs, and it is not
impossible that in time all the natural col
oring matters may be entirely superseded.

Protection of Horses, Feet.

A reputed protection for the fore feet of a
horse is shoe consisting of rubber oval
band about quarter OF an inch thick,
terminating at the ends in caulk or
cushion. The general shape is that of a
horseshoe, the rubber cushions representing
the heel caulks. An iron plate goes with
this, and the heel ends are shortened to give
room for the rubber caulks The rubber
shoe, with layer of canvas on its flattened
side. goes against the foot, and is nailed
on with the iron shoe, the hole forming an
iron plate shoe with rubber heel caulks
When it is estim ated that horse weighing
1000 pounds, going at $3.50 gait. strikes a
ton every time he puts down his fore foot,
it is not hard to understand that any
efficient mode of reducing the tremendous
concussion that m ust ensue is of the utmost
value.
