The failure Ct galvanized wire and
wire fencing TO give as good satisfac-
ton now as Is or 20 years ago is not
caused, some say, by any defects in the
hot process of galvanizing. but is due
to the fact that the wire mills in their
system Of galvanizing, first put the metal
on hot and then take a large portion
of it off with a wiper before the coat
ing has had a chance to cool off, II
wire were galvanized in the same man.
ner as 1T was Is or 20 years ago 1t
would give just as satisfactory results
These same remarks may in a general
way apply to galvanized sheet iron. In
former days sheet iron was galvanized
by the dipping process and the sheets
remained in the metal sufficiently long
for the coating to become thoroughly
incorporated with the iron. Nowadays
the sheets are rushed through the ket-
ties my means of a roller process, and
the resulting coating on the sheets is
not nearly so good as in the cid process.

constant. This principle may be applied
to the present case by making the up
per and lower sections of the chain par
allel. Capt. Delacroix does this easily
by using stretching roller r Gigs. I
and %, placed in fixed position on the
rear fork Of the frame. Evidently the
parallelism thus obtained is not per-
feet; but as the deviation is
never great, the length of the chain
varies by only small fraction of an
inch, and there is no danger Of its leav-
ing the sprocket.
"And now what Is to be the future OF
this invention? II we take into account
only the palpable advantages Of the sys-
TENTS great simplicity. the ease with
which 1T may be installed on an ordi-
nary bicycle, and its slight cost-we
should predict for 1T a brilliant success
But we must not forget prejudices and
habits, which may perhaps prevent the
extended use OF the oval sprocket. So
we advise those who are Interested in
the question to make the change them
selves and We hope that the results OBJ
tanned will justify the attempt"

Acetylene is being used as an expio-

an electric spark. In blasting the rock

with an estimated annual output OF
100000 barrels. The manufacture

Fluid Battery.

Editor National Tribune: Please favor
me with a good recipe for making a
fluid battery which will produce strong
electrical current.-James Penn, Flor
ence, N. J.
Batteries of all types and forms are
offered In such numbers and sold SO
cheaply that 1t Is hardly worth while
for one to try to make one himself The
following direction is given for making
homemade Daniel cell, which is one
Of the Oldest and most popular forms of
single-cell batteries:
Select a small, round earthenware
jar, such as Is used for keeping pre-
serves, and having lined the bottom with
gutta percha or some suitable cement
to the depth of one-Quarter of an inch,
fix upright in this a rod of zinc, Of equal
height with the jar, to which a length
OF copper wire has been attached by
passing it through a hole drilled in the
upper part Of the zinc rod or by solder
ing. Make cylinder of pipe clay or
other porous clay larger than the zinc
rod, and having dried 1t. make it hot in
the fire by degrees till 1T attains a red
heat. Let this cylinder cool gently, and
when cold place it in the jar around
lance. By moderately heating the end
Of the cylinder 1t will, when placed on
the gutta percha, make groove which
will fix the tube and prevent infiltratiOn
Of the fluids. Line the inside Of the jar
with q plate of thin copper, bent into
cylindrical form and having a few holes
punched in 1t, through which may be
threaded the extremity OF another
length of copper wire. On the top Of
this cylinder place a fiat ring of copper
pierced with holes, and nearly. but not
quite. touching the porous cylinder. This
forms the battery. To charge it, take a
saturated solution Of sulphate of copper
poured between the copper and the clay
tube, and some crystals Of the same salt
are placed upon the perforated ring. SO

ton. The zinc compartment Is then to

sprocket elliptical instead of round His
cycle. which was first noted in the Re.
vue du Touring Club de France
(March). is described as follows i'm Cos
mos paris May 81:
1.-The machine invented by Capt. Della
croix is just like the ordinary models
except that the sprocket, instead of be-
ing circular. is eiliptical. This innova-
ton, the inventor claims. enables the
rider to climb hills more easily and with
less fatigue, and thus has special ad-
vantages in a hilly country.
1.-The explanation is quite simple. The
pedals are mounted on the short axis Of
the ellipse; consequently when the pedal
is at the highest point Gig. ID, which
is where the cyclist finds the conditions
strength, the arm of the lever against
which he pushes is shortest,
just as if the machine had circular
sprocket whose diameter was the short
axis of the ellipse, as shown in the fig
ure. On the contrary, the cranks are
horizontal at the moment Gig. p when
the cyclist is able to exert his full
strength, and the lever-arm is then
equal to the long axis; the gear is thus
at the maximum and is that of bicycle
whose spr0cket has diameter equal to
the major axis of the ellipse.
"A notable fact is that between these
two limiting positions the gear increases
In the same ratio as the ability of the
cyclist to increase his effort. and in
versely, which gives better utilization
Of his strength. Suppose, for example,
that the minor axis is equal to two
thirds of the major; IL the gear is 40 in
the case Of Fig. 1, it will be SO in Fig.
2. and it will have between these two
positions all possible values between 40
and 60.
"This kind OF oval sprocket Is thus
very rational and logical for hfll-climb.
ing. 1t could not take the place OF .
well-planned changeable gear. but 1t
seems much superior to the ordinary
machine. BY experiment it has been
shown that it is as easy to climb five-
per cent grade with an oval sprocket as
with circular sprocket of much lower
gear. Doubtless on level road there
would be a certain Objectionable irregu-
larity in the pedaling. for the rotation
of the pedals is not uniform as in the
ordinary model: nevertheless, according
be perceptible with an ellipse whose
minor axis was three-ouarters of the
major. With a greater difference a lit
tie practice would be necessary.
There Is one difficulty that had to
be overcome before the system could be
put into practical effect. The elliptical
sprocket requires a constant alteration
in the length of the chain. SO that 1t
cannot be used without an auxiliary de-
vice Of some kind. But we know that IL
