Two Serious Gas Explosions.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE. Ind. Jan. 16-Two serious ex-
blossoms occurred in this city this morning
at an early hour. The first was the boiler
at the Kelly-Metz hominy-m mill, which let
go at 430 O'Clock. badly demolishing the
engine-room. 1t is thought that tramps
entered the engins-room and turned on the
natural gas TO keep warm. and went
off and left it. The boiler spEt
in two and did $1,000 damage. with no
insurance. The company moved the mill
to Mnncle from Indianapolis whore 1t was
formerly operated. If any persons were
in the engine room st the time they are
buried deep below the debris.
This morning at the Midland steel
works. natural gas escaped from a pipe
and accumulated in the boiler furnace
around the battery OF boilers. An ex-
plosion occurred, badly wrecking the
furnace and lowering three of the stacks.
The damage is several hundred dollars.

A Curious Machine.
From the Chicago Tribune.

/
In the west end of Machinery Hall is
Griers ingram lumber machine, that was
patented last October. Basswood board,
worth $50 thousand feet, passed in at one
side comes out quarter-sawed oak, worth $50
a thousand feet, on the other side. That
is, it looks like quarter-sawed oak. The
essential feature of the machine is a drum
thirty-six inches in diameter and thirty
inches face. The design is first painted
on the face Of the drum, the champs being
painted black on the pattern. The grain
Is left unpainted. The drum is then hung
up on end and set with steel knives for
type. These type are inches deep by
1-32 of an inch thick, made of high h-grade
steel. They can be cut up in widths from
inch to inch,
The operation of placing them on the
cylinder Is something similar TO typeset-
ting, the knives being held into position
by clamp. When the drum is filed
with type, cement IS poured into she inter
stices. This holds the knives firmly in
place. The machine is capable of taking
in lumber from ope-eighth of an inch to
six inches thick. 1t is drawn through by
means of a feed roller ten inches in diam
eter After passing over the drum, the
lumber next passes over tlller pan con
tanning specially prepared filler, which is
pressed into the cavities made by the knives
by two smooth, stee-geared rollers.
The board is held down against the tilleF
rollers by another feed roller placed di-
rectly above them, three inches in diane
eter. Any surplus Of filler is removed by
scraper, steel blade thirty inches in
width. The adjustment for various thick
nesses of lumber is made by four screws,
operated by bevel cog gear. The drum
makes three revolutions minute. It has
maximum capacity of Ga,Q00 feet a day
of ten hours. Fifteen varieties of wood
can be initiated on this machine, such as
oak, ash, birds eye maple, mahogany,
cherry and Hungarian ash.
A molder is also made for ingraining
molding. The molder has 50 saws, 20
inches in diameter and l-l6 inch thick,
with 3-inch bore, hung on a s-inch arbor
This enables the saws to conform to any
shape of molding. The champs are imi-
tated by cutting out spaces on the face of
the saw. This device is attached to the
molding machine. Mr.. Grier is just per-
fectiug a device for filling the mOlding
