BOARD OF TRADE
WILL MAKE TEST
THE WORK OF. TESTING M'WIL-
LlAMS' SPRINGS AT ENSLEY
WILL PROBABLY BE STARTED
TOMORROW OR TUESDAY.

Ensley, May 21.-(Special.) -Monday or
Tuesday the Ensley board of trade will
test the water supply of McWilliams
spring. In this the organization believes
that the water problem will be solved.
For some time the citizens have been
endeavoring to get a water supply for the
industries of the Steel City. A few weeks
ago one of the largest industries in the
city was compelled to close down on ac-
count of the scarcity of water. A deal
was made with the Birmingham water
works for a supply and the plant re-
sumed. The board of trade, which has
been striving to have industries come
to the Steel City and which has been
the means of securing several of the
city's plants was not blind to the fact
that if Ensley is to compete with other
cities she must have an abundant water
supply.
With view to solution of this ques-
ton a number of Ensley business men
investigated McWilliams' springs and
found that sufficient water could be got
ten from the springs to supply the in
dustries of the city. A meeting of the
board of trade was called and two COM
mittees were appointed to test the supply
The committees went at once at work
and procured a boiler, engine and pump
with which to make the experiment. The
machinery has been placed and a large
force of workmen have been engaged get
ting things in shape to begin work This
will probably be done Monday or Tues

factories in the city of New York was broken in five pieces. A new wheel would have cost only S125 but the very earliest promise made for a new wheel was eight days. The loss to the power plant, under contract to furnish power each and every day, and to the different factories, some of them under contract to deliver work within specified time, would have run up into thousands. This broken gear was taken to the brazing shop at 9 p. m., and by o'clock next morning it was on the engine and running as if it had never stopped"
 When one thinks of the millions of dollars worth of machinery broken every year in the shape of gear teeth, lever arms, machine frames, brackets of every description, and last, but not least, countless cracked cylinders in locomotives and stationary engines. he soon commences to realize the vast field for operation. And this is only the beginning. In foundries blow holes, sand falls, etc, can be cleaned out and painted with FerrOfix and then the molten metal poured in and made as good as new. Patterns of a difficult shape to cast can be made in parts and brazed together. Steel or brass surfaces can be brazed to cast iron frames One of its most valuable uses is in the coating of metal pipes, such as boiler tubes, either fire tubes or water tubes, with copper on the side next to the water. This prevents a great deal of corrosion due to the action of the water. Also by this means iron pipes can be coated with brass and have the appearance of solid brass pipe. Brass bushiDgs can by this process be cast into the wheels and made one and the same with the wheel at one fourth the eX pense and have twice the strength.
 Steel plates for the bulls of ships will hereafter be coated by the use of Ferrofix and protect the hull from salt water and barnacles and save the vast expense of continually dry docking a boat to have her hull scraped and painted.
