Plu,nbago md steatitr.

The new bearing which has been in
troduccd lately, to considerable ex-
tent, in foreign engineering construc.
ton, is formed of plumbago, or graph
lite, mixed with certain quantity of
stcatite, combination by means of
which the soft plumbago is hardened
SO that 1t may be moulded into any
desired shape and turned o. worked to
fit any kind of n box. As described,
this mixture, which is compressed by
a hydraulic press and aftcrward baked,
is slightly heavier than carbon. but
much more tough, and is said to be
adapted for use under heavy shocks,
and the advantages of thus doing away
with oiled bearings, in many instances,
are declared TO be 80 great that some
loss of power in securing them Is
amply compensated for. Special ac-
count is made of the fact that the
coeflicient of dry bearings IS practi-
cally constant, and the friction can be
allowed for in designing the motive
power to run the machinery, whereas
the friction in fabricated bearing
varies according 70 the quality of tho
lubricant and the attention paid to

Some of the fnesi results in tho
nothing Of iron are now obtained by
tho following unique process: The iron
parts to be case hardened. in gun max
Ing, are brightly polished, care being
taken to remove anything of q greasy
nature, and these parts arc placed In
an iron box and covered either with
bone dust or old leather that has been
burned, the box being next placed In
n hot fire, where It Is allowed to re-
main about one hour, or until no doubt
exists that all parts of the iron have
been brought to q red heat. Tho con-
tents of tho box are then dumped
quickly into water, IN operation re-
quiring the incest care, in order for the
air not to strike the iron before 1t
reaches the water. Special apparatus
and practice arc alike requisite to
give the iron tho desirable blue-gray
notified color, for II the air reaches the
iron 1t assumes black or blue-blacls
streaked color, according us the opera
tion has been more or less imperfect.
After cooling, the iron is vanished.

A PHANTOM SHIP.
II Was Seen Darl1ly in the Interiol
OF an Iceberg.

~ Wab seen Darkiy IN tne lhteFior
Of an Iceberg.
The Egihsh ship Dumcralg, command
cd by Capt. Squirting recently fell
among icebergs while rounding Capo
Horn. One stormy morning, just after
daybreak monster berg drlfted close
to the ship, and the crew were shocked
to see q full-rigged ship, with all sail
set frozen In the ice. They studied It
Tor nearly fifteen minutes.
The vessel rested high on tho berg,
ten or twelve feet from tho water line,
and was buried In the Ice as far tip as
her rnil. Tho Ice that was frozen over
the vessel apI cared TO bo two or three
feet thick on the side next the observ.
crs. Capt. Squirting thought 1t could
not bo more than that, because with
his glasses he could easily make out tbs
outlines through tho Ice, and could SEQ
that she was OF wood and had cop
pered bottom.
From tho dim outlines he guessed
that she was sailing bark OF ancient
pattern. The three mates, the sails,
the spars, and gear were NIL shrouded
with thick casing Of ice, through
which only their dark outlines could be
seen. Some of the crew imagined they
could see bodies Of men In the rigging,
but Capt. Squirting was doubtful for
his glasses did not increase the resem,
blance.
His explanation Of tb lce.locked mys.
terry Is that the vessel must have
grounded on n projecting edge of tho
berg, topplcd over against the wall, anil
there rested until she was frozen ~
fast that no movement Of the Ice noun
tain could dislodge her. Then the Ice
had gradually grown up around her
until her Imprisonment was complete.

A very ingenious method Is rcsorted
10 by Herr Mcnicus, In the qunntitntivc
determination of lead. After convert
ing the lead into n chloride he dissolves
tho lead chloride In potash I've and
passes current OF carbonic acid
through the solution for two hours; the
precipitatcd carl onate is filtered OF,
washed, dissolved in nitric acid. and
the lead precipitated electrolyticallv
US peroxide. In prccipitating the lead
from the alkaline solution ms peroxide
by means of brominc, successful re-
suits were obtained bv the following
method: Dissolving tho chloride In
potash lyc, the solution was poured
Into n flask, with two per!orations for
the introduction and the escape OF gas;
n slow current OF gaseous bromine was
passed through the entrance tube
above the liquid, the latter being
gently heated, the brominc being thus
readily absorbed, and the lead gradu.
ally deposited as peroxide. Filtration
is best effected by exhaustion through
eleutriated asbestos placed between
two discs OF asbestos paper.

The use Of oxygen in tho puriAca-
tion Of coal gas il now made exceed
ingly effective, It is stated by an In
genious method of obtaining separa-
ton and imprisonment OF oxygen
from the atmosphere. Air is drawn
through h small purifier containing
freshly burned lime, which desicates
the air and also removes any carbonic
acid gas, and, TO make assurance still
more sure, 1t then passes through
vessel In which there is caustic soda;
being thus In an almost dry state, the
air Is forced through steel or iron
rctorts, set vertically, which contain
caustic baryta in n spongy condition,
md are heated to faint red heat.
The baryta, when heated and under
pressure, has the property of absorbing
the oxygen and rejecting the nitrogen,
which escapes by means of valve.
1t gives on this oxygen when a vacuum
is created. This work of alternately
arrestihg and removing the oxygen is
performed in "a most effective manner
by an automatic machine which may
BIO worked by steam or else by gas
engine, and the machine may be regu-
lated ut will to suit the action OF the
baryta: the pressure in the retorts Is
ten pounds, and the vacuum thirteen
pounds. After being distracted from
the retorts the oxygen is forced into
small holder. and thence conveyed to u
meter regulated by valve 10 admit
one per cent of the quantity of gas
made. In this arrangement the revivi-
flying Of the oxide saves labor; it also
excludes the admission of nitrogen,
and, therefore, less camel is required
to produce the necessary illuminating
power; IN increased value OF the spent
oxide results, it being impossible to
get the strength of the spent oxide to
Us per cent without more frequent re-
vivifyiug in the air, ut greater cx-
pcnditure in labor than the value of
the extra Is per cent OF the sulphur.

Thcy Arc Very Popular Among Travel.
crs to tho Worlds FAir-Elcctric
Chr EHcnPaions

ST. Louis, June 5.-Arrangcment
have been completed by the railroad
companies whereby visitors to the
Worlds Fair from nearly all parts cnn
spend n few days at st. Louis without
material addition 20 expense. In some
instances stop-ovcr tickets are OBJ
tanned without difficulty, while in
others the rates are so adjusted that
the additional expense incurred in
purchasing tickets to st. Louis and
thence to Chicago is nominal. All the
railroads report traffic very heavy, and
although there has not yet been the
increase in the sale OF tickets between
st. Louis and Chicago which was ex-
pected. the sale of tickets from Chi
cago to st. Louis has been very large,
ns evidenced by the crowds which
come in on the various routes from the
Worlds Fair city morning and even
ing.
The practice of taking Sunday af-
ternoon excursions on electric cars
was started here last year and has
been revived with great energy this
spring. The c ectric road connecting
the old country town of Florissant
with st. Louis carried $1,000 excur
sionists on the county division on Sun
day and could have carried 10000
more had it been prepared for such an
enormous crowd. The electric car is
exceedingly popular in the city, and
although the horse car is dying out
more slowly than expected IL will be
thing of the past so far as the business
section is concerned within n very few
weeks.
st. Louis is becoming more gencr-
ally known ms racing centre and the
race meeting now In progress is on the
whole the most successful one ever
held here. The track is nile round and
the grand stand accommodations are
regarded rs equal to any in the conn
try. Vigorous competition on the part
of rival tracks is seen this year. and
there has been some unpleasantncss
between the racing authorities and the
owners OF local pool rooms. But
neither Of these is having any effect on
the success of the meeting either In
point OF numbers in attendance or tho
quality of the sport, and the future OF
rncing here is fully assured.
Plans are In progress involving n
vast amount OF expenditure In the way
Of improving streets with asphalt,
wood pavement or telford. Since the
incorporation OF the city improvements
of this kind have been somewhat re-
tarded by clause In the charter limit
ing the expenditure to rs per cent OF
the assessed value OF abutting property
and the refusal OF one or two owners,
especially when property has been
held In trust, has prevented much
work being undertaken which was
otherwise necessary. The change has
come about ~ n result Of State leyisla-
tion and there was now practically ro
limit 10 the expense which can be In.
