ELEcTRoPLATING THE HULLs OF
SHIPS.

The latest experiments in protecting
the hulls Of ships from barnacles and
eorrosion. and incidentally wooden
ships from the teredo. have been along
the line Of electroplating with copper.
The consensus of opinion of all scient-
lists seems TO be that copper is the best
material for sheathing the hulls, and
II this could be put on at less expense,
and in such way that it would add
only trihe more to the weight of
the craft and more thoroughly protect
the steel hulls from corrosion, the lues-
ton would be finally solved BY elec-
troplating with copper the sides and
bottoms OF ships, all the difficulties
that have heretofore puzzled shipbuild-
ers seem to be overcome The trial
Of electroplating the hull Of a seagoins
craft was made over a year ago. and
the results appear TO be highly salts
factory. This method, as described by
the Arena, is very simple-in fact, Just
as easy as plating any small article.
After a ship is docked and the bottom
and sides are thoroughly scraped and
cleaned, she is practically placed in a
bath of copper sulphate. into which
is passed an electric curernt.
In order to accomplish this work sue.
cessfully on large scale. liquid-tight
boxes are fitted to conform to the hull
Of the ship and when these are filed
with solution OF copper. they are
screwed up so snugly to the bottom
that no air or liquid can escape from
below. The top of the boxes is left open
in order to admit the current. The
iron hull OF the ship acts as the mega
tive pole, and when the circuit is
formed deposit Of copper is gradually
formed outside of the hull Of the steam
er. This film OF copper is absolutely
air-tight and perfect in formation, fit
ting so tightly to the iron hull that
it can be removed only with the great |
est difficulty. In forty-elght hours II
is one-sixteenth of an inch thick. and
weighs 2.S5 pounds to the square foot |
When the whole surface Of the bottom |
has been electroplated with copper in |
this way, the skin makes a surface so |
smooth and unbroken that no weak
spots can possibly be found "Pitting"
is out Of the question. for no nails are
used in the whole operation The cop
per does not break easily. as it fits
so closely to the iron plates that it
is necessary sometimes to chip off
the iron to separate the two. The COP
per skin makes a perfect water-tight
protection TO the ship, and in an in
stance where the steel backing or
plates should crack, it would greatly
add to the safety Of the ship. The
electroplating method. thus briefly de-
scribed. seems like a long stride to- |
ward the solution Of the old problem
Of perfecting the hulls Of wooden and d.
iron ships.

Yesterday morning Mr.. J. F. Parker of

visit TO McMahan's show now in winter
quarters in this city. Visitors are for
hidden generally but these gentlemen
were allowed to see the animals.
While standing near the cage contain
ing the South American leopard he got
too venturesome and approached too near
to the cage The cat with the speed Of
one of his kind made a stroke between
the bars and seized MIR. Parker by the
arm. Mr.. V. ]. Hager, who was with the
party, quickly went to his assistance and
between them he got away, tearing his
Goa: sleeve into ribbons. He escaped
luckily, for had he been little nearer
some of his cutic.e would have shared
the same fate as the coat.

ENCOURAGING FOR WICHITA MINERS
A Rich Discovery Is Made Id Their Lo-
cality.

H. c. Lockwood, representing the
home office of the Midnight Extension
Mining company, calls the attention Of
the Eagle to column article in the Den
yer Republican of the 18th instant, in
which minute description is given Of a
new discovery of free milling gold near
Elizabethtown, n. NJ, and in the imme-
date locality of the property owned by
Wichita parties. The discovery is in
rock twice as hard as California quartz,
bat with proper treatment the owners
will make fortunes. This is gratifying
news to the thirty-fve Wichita gentle
men who are interested in promising
mining properties out there. All the
gentlemen interested here will doubtless
visit the Midnight property the coming
springs, and of course, every citizen of
Wichita will hope the Midnight may
bring the noontide of sunshine to them.
