AN OLD C1TY's NEW VENTURE.
1he Establishment Of IA Grain EIe-
vator at Amsterdam

a he Embellishments of "a Grain EIe-
VatOr at Amsterdam.
A description of the recently completed
grain elevator in Amsterdam has been sent
to the State Department by Frank d. Hill,
the United States Consul stationed at that
city. The elevator is the only one in the
Netherlands and is an object Of much OBJ
servation by the people there Mr. Hill
says:
There has recently been completed a
grain elevator in Amsterdam, the only ore
in the Netherlands il is near the timber
harbor; its length is 40 feet and its width
los feet. Il was built by the city and
leased for a term OF ffty-dve years al
s., 400 a year to Messrs Korthal Altes For
the building itself a space Of 7.2lS feet was
reserved. The capacity is from 10000 to
$4,000 metric tons; the greater part viii
be used To- the storage Of grain in silos;
the ground floor alone. with a storage ca
pacity OF 5000. being intended for the stor-
age OF grain and seeds Ia bags.
Steam and sailing vessels will be dis
charged as follows; The cargo is weighed
by hand aid put over the ships side in
travelling hands. 1t is then brought to its
place by mechanical power. The velocity
of transport is calculated SO as to insure an
easy transfer OF all the grain. however
fast il may be discharged a maximum
capacity OF 4iO 92O pounds per hour has
been fixed, and two kinds OF grain may II
necessary, be discharged simultaneously.
from the same vessel.
The travelling bands run iL a channel in
where the grain is deposited on transverse
travellers that take it TO the elevators.
These work the grain up TO the top Of the
building whence II can be conveyed to
any chosen division by means Of the trav-
cling b nds running over the silOs.
The emptylng OF the silos or bins. is
thus conducted: Below the conical bottom
Of the silos are shafts. through which the
grain is transmitted TO travelling bands
running on the ground floor, il is again
raised TO the top by the elevators. and
thence may be carried OF in any desired
direction.
If the object is merely TO stir the grain.
il is taken 10 one of the top travellers and
thrown into another silo; but it may also
be sent first through a shaft to the clean
ing or weighing machine. and then up
again by means of a small elevator TO an
other silo or through a shaft
The grain can be discharged at the side
Of the harbor in wagons or lighters at the
rate Of 300 ,450 pounds per hour. For dam
aged grain, silOs are arranged in what are
called hospital cells
