His Electrical Theory.
He perceived that steel and wrought
iron must have Il normal node Of
molecular vibration to retain their utiI-
TARTAN operties-tenacfty. resistance,
etcss and that another node OF vibra-
ton produced cry llfzationsz or a seq
regation Of the atomic masses with lit
tie or no cohesion
Over and over again lie repeated his
experimenting. inducing crystallization
into the razor by the means of turning
forks. and restoring the lost qualities Of
the steel by the combination Of tbs
tuning fork with the interrupted curved
s0fenoid.
Then he went abroad and tried his
discovery on a railway bridge. With
his hammer he tried the steel rods UNI
til he found one which under the stroke
yielded a brittle note and so gave evil
solenoid restored IL to its true metallic
ring, and his efforts to smash it were
unayailing.
There was no defect In his discovery
and he at once began to study the best
means of its practical application.
He proposes soon to visit the United
States to have it taken UP on a large
scale. The adoption OF it, he states,
will prove an immense economy, inie7
penderltly Of the fact that it Will pre-
clude serious disasters.
The point of crystallization of a steel
rod IS at it's center of chief vibration.
and this is generally its point of cross
ing with other rods or its center Of
unsupported weight. The coil will only
be needed ait this point.
The practical meaning of the lfscov-
cry is that ON the Brooklyn bridge, fer
instance, Instead of perpetually trying
and replacing the steel rods and bars
it will be sufficient to run a slight cell
of Wire round the center joints and to
establish AN electric current in these
coils by connecting them with the
lighting power of the bridge.
For lofty buildings into which steel
largely enters, and for ordinary me-
clpanical machinery, the device can De
applied without trouble.
Signor Faellf is sure to be greeted
by american scientists with all the en-
thusEasm and encouragement which
they lavish on those who do great
things for the progress of civilization.
What American Engineers Think.
William Kent, NJ E., associate editor
of the Engineering News, was asked
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-10-29


vehemently abusive because his best
blade would not do its ordinary work.
In America ne had heard BARRIERS talk
of a tired razor, and here lie was in
the presence Of a. similar phenomenon.
and it set him thinking III Is along
time since it was first observed thai
a high grade razor sometime gives
out, and that all the strappiIg in the
world and all the coaxing VIII not in
duce it to cut 81 single hair. BARRIERS
say that the razoI; Til that case Is
tired" They put il away on a. shelf
for a month oil two. and on trying ii
after that period Of rest they find that
it has recovered all its pristine worth.
Signor Faelli Jumped ait the .coneiu-
sion that this razor MAS suffering from
Capitalization produced by overwork.
and that rest from vibration was suf-
ficient to restore%its molecules to their
former axis arrangement.
Experiments With. the Razor.
But rest from vibration is not d rem
edy that can be applied ia bridges and
machinery and tall buildings. To effect
anything in the nature of a ussful dis
covery the exnarimenteT must find
something that: will either prevent crSs-
Utilization or rapidly destroy it where
it has set in.
Faelli got possession of the Payia bar
ber's unruly razor and took it home
with him for a series of experiments.
For long weeks he worked by the aid
of the Vibrations of tuning forks to
destroy Capitalization and also to set
it up in fresh steel His efforts met
with but slender success until finally
he bathought himself of the possibih-
ties of electricity i'll the matter.
He tried an electrical current trav-
essing a sclenoid placed around the
tired razor" the current being coil-
trolied by the INTERPOLATION of a tuning
fork. In a moment he realized that a
discovery was made. On trying the
razor he found it in d relatively good
condition for it's ordinary work. This
was a proof that the disqualification had
been partially nalilified. But work as
he might with lis solenoid he did not
reach completes success. His solenoid
was one of perfect tubal curve.
He was about to abandon the under
taking in despair when it occurred to
him to try an interrupted spiral curve.

steadily in one direction, carries a
yotative electrical current running in

phenomenon 10 which this is due is
called by engineers the disqualification
of the steel and wrought iron. They
have not been able to explain It. They
simply know that it is there, and they
have given it name.
The steel in a slxy-scraper is exactly
in the conditions which are fayorable
to disqualification. These buildings are
of comparatively recent invention. and
in none of them, fortunately. has a
catastrophe yet occurred to act as a
warning. But the danger is there, and
worst than all, the tests which can
usually be applied where capitalization
is suspected, are here out of the ques-
ton.
on Brooklyn bridge and other struc-
lures of the kind, in the engine rooms
of steamers, in factories where big
machinery is used, engineers make
periodical tours of inspection and test
the hard metals. OutWardly the steel
is as solid and resisting as ever, but
a blow of a light hammer on a shaft
four inches in diameter will sometimes
smash it as if it had been a slender
rcd of glass. This is when the steel is
crystallized.
Testing Impossible.
In our lofty buildings there can be no
coated with brick or stone. Herein is
the great danger to the ''sky-scraper.
Many and many a mysterious acct
dent in the past was due TO this strange
popularity of the hard metals. All
the world learned with shudders of
horror the dramatic details of that
tragic catastrophe when, on a. stormy
Christmas eve the Tay bridge opened in
its center and a trainful OF holiday pas
sengers were precipitated to an awful
doom. The storm had only a trifiing
share in the disaster. 1t was the
crystallization of the steel supports on
the bridge which caused the dreadful
calamity.
An Italian electrical engineer, Signor
Emilio Faelli, who made a, fortune in
this country, and has now returned to
his native land to enjoy it, has just
made a discovery which is of the
utmost interest in the present connec-
