Riedler Gas and Air Compressors.

The air and gas compFessors introduced
in Germany by Professor A. Riedler of Ber-
lin have in a very few years, obtained q
worldwide reputation and application.
Britain and the colonies are held by Messrs.
Fraser and Chalmers. Limited; and we
learn that they have supplied. within five
years. to many parts Of the world COM
power. The success obtained by this form
Of compressor has been achieved by the
use OF valves mechanically operated I'm
der this method. Professor Riedler was a hle
to accomplish in air and gas compressing
what. 1t Is stated, others were unable to do
before-viz.. high speeds with correspond
ing high piston speeds. at the same time
obtaining maximum efficiency with mini
compressor generally varies from so to 100
revolutions. while the piston speed varies
from 500 to 100 feet per minute. Positively
controlled valves enable the use in the sys-
tenn of few and large valves: thus securing
wide openings and free passage, and there
by avoiding all the disadvantages of auto
matte or self-acting valves. which always
require very small lift throttling the pas
valves necessary" In brief, without going
into the computations given by the makers
in proof, we are assured that eight auto
matte valves Of at least inches diameter
are necessary to do the work OF one 7-inch
Riedler valve Many Of these compressors
are In use in machine shops for driving
pneumatic tools. Hauling, transmission,
pumping and hoisting are other employ
ments: and they have come into favor in
chemical works. where. on account OF the
non-leakage and fewness and accessibility
Of all working parts. such compressor is
especially desirable. More recently, owing
to the speed at which the Riedler is able
to run. combined with its simplicity and
economy. 1t has been directly connected to
gas engines; and in Germany. there are
now several installations where the Ried-

A DITCH UNDER WATER.
The Cutting of Deep Trench in Lower
New York Bay.
From Worlds Work.


From Worlds Work.
Through the very center of lower New
York bay. to take the place Of the old cir
cuitous route. a direct channel Is being
dredged to a depth Of forty feet. The big
ships like the Deutschland, the Kaiser Will
helm and the new Kronprinz which are
forced now to await the flow of the tide,
will have regular sailing hours.
The digging Of ditch under water is
scarcely less interesting than the cutting
of deep trench like the new subway in
New York through the city streets In
this particular channel borings have been
made which show that the finding OF rock
is decidedly improbable Two great twin
screw hulks Of steel. built much like long
rectangular boxes. with vertical stack,
foremast and mainmast, steam daily into
the channels course, and the big suction
tubes are lowered and are sunk about ten
feet into the sand and mud Of the bottom.
The pump is charged, and the bottom OF
the bay begins to run into about a dozen
hoppers. which extend for 125 feet through
the center Of the dredge. Meanwhile the
boat moves forward at rate of about
twenty-five feet minute, so that new ma
terial can be fed constantly into the hon
pers by the suction When the hoppers
are entirely filled the tube Is drawn up.
the pump Is stopped and the boats start
Tor the dumping ground, eight miles out at
sea. When they are nearly there com
pound pumps are started, which supply
water to free the discharge valves of the
packed sand. When the dumping ground
has been reached the valves are opened
about three feet by hydraulic power, and
a pressure Of about sixty pounds to the
square inch aids gravity in clearing the
hoppers.
Altogether 1t Is estimated nearly 40 600
oOo cubic yards Of the bottom Of the bay
more than six times the estimated total ex-
cavation for the Japanese park reservoir
will be carried out into the ocean by these
boats. which dig up 5000 tons of mud and
sand an hour. 1t Is estimated that two
years work will complete the channel.

Con6scation in Morocco.
From Blackwood's Magazine.


1t is a custom in Morocco that all the
property of an official reverts at death
to the crown. The logic which leads to
such result is simple. for the govern
ment argues that all fortunes thus ac
cumulated consist OF monkeys Illegally re-
tanned by the authorities. A governor when
appointed is probably possessed of no con-
siderable fortune. When he dies he NAV he
millionaire. Whence came this wealth i?
Squeezed most certainly from the tribes
under his authority and therefore amassed
only by the prerogatives Of the position in
which the Sultan had placed him IT has
never struck the Moorish government that
these great fortunes might more honorabIy
be returned to the people from whom they
were stolen. The result is entire confisca- :
ton to the crown, including often such
private property as his governor NAV have
been possessed Of before his appointment.
and not seldom, too. of the property of his
relatives
When the mighty fall in Morocco the
crash brings down with them their fam
lilies. even uncles and cousins and all con-
nected with them. and it is not seldom
that the sons of great governors, who have
been brought up In the luxury of slaves
and horses and retinues of mounted men
have to go begging in the streets

The Guns Of the Mikasa.

From the ST. James Gazette.
The trials Of the improved Elswick gun
mountings for the barbette guns of the
japanese battle ship Mikasa seem to prove
that they are long way in advance of
anything yet In use In our navy. From the
after barbette, firing unaimed shots. the
gun was on one occasion loaded and fired
in 80 seconds, an improvement of II Sec
onds on the best previous performance.
But the most remarkable result was achiey-
ed by the forward barbette. which, frins
aimed rounds from one gun. got OF three
shots in a net period of 81 seconds, or at
an average rate of one round in 33 Is sec
onds. AS. however. the guns crew were
merely a scratch lot. 1t Is probable that
the Mikasa will beat this performance In
the future. She will. at any rate. approach
the rate Of two rounds per gun per minute,
which means that from her four 12-inch
guns alone she will be able to hurl three
tons Of steel at an opponent within that
time.
