Another Process for Metal SPRAYING

Another process has been devised for
coating surfaces with various metals
by spraying. BY the use of this process
1t is possible to apply an even surface
OF lead, tin. zinc. aluminium, steel or
other metal to articles of wood metal.
paper. cloth. stone and cement While
the process consists in reducing metal
lc wire. fed into spraying pistol by
means of an oxyhydrogen flame, and
then shooting the metallic particles
with great velocity against the surface
to be overlaid, it, nevertheless, does
not burn either cloth or paper in APP
plication.
The wire of the metal to be used as
4 coating is fed into the pistol, passed
over the oXy Hydrogen flame, and is
then projected in fine spray by II
current OF compressed air. The wire is
fed forward Just fast enough to allow
ii to be disinteg grated by the flame, and
is said to be projected in the form of
metallic dust The wire used varies
from 0.03 to 0.04 inches in diameter
and ii is consnonly fed at a speed OF
from ten to eighteen feet a minute.
Metals melting at high temperatures
are fed at slower rates. The metal is
not applied in molten state, as with
most processes. 1t is said that even a
match may be coated without setting
it on fire.

Necessary Order Issued.

AS a result of conference of the
two officials yesterday afternoon, Rear
Admiral Blue today. as acting Secre-
tary of the Navy, arranged to have the
historic ship brought to this city at
once. Instructions were telegraphed
the commandant of the Norfolk navy
yard to send a strong naval tug to Bal
timore without delay. for the purpose
of towing the Constellation down
Chesapeake bay and up the Potomac
river to this city.
The movement will not take more
than a few days, and Admiral Blue is
of the opinion that the Constellation
will be anchored at the Washington
navy yard by Saturday. The duration
of her stay at that yard has not been
finally determined, but it is believed
that she will remain there two or three
weeks, at least.

COMING TO WASHINGTON
Frigate Constellation to Be Placed on
Exhibition at the Navy
Yard.

Mainly through the efforts of Rear
Admiral Victor Blue. chief of the naval
bureau of navigation, the frigate Con-
stellation, the oldest vessel in the
United States Navy, soon will be on pub
lie exhibition at the Washington navy
yard. The vessel will remain there for
several weeks in order that the resi-
dents of the District and the hosts of
tourists who visit this city may have
an opportunity to inspect a warship
that was launched a little more than
III years ago. Admiral Blue favored
having the Constellation retained in
this harbor as a permanent exhibit of
the fighting sea force of the early days
of the republic. Secretary Daniels,
however, needed the earnest appeal of
the citizens of Newport, r. L., that the
vessel be returned to that station upon
the conclusion of her visit to Baltimore
to participate in the Star Spangled
Banner centennial celebration.
He approved, however, Admiral Blues
suggestion that the vessel visit the Ma
tional Capitol on her way back to New
port,
