terestngly reported by THE Scientific
American in the case of a barge loaded
with about 420 tons of sand-cast pig iron
which was sunk in the Tennessee River
near Paducah, Ky. 1t seems that
the iron was strewn along the river bottom
for distance of 100 feet or more. free of the
barge The insurance company paid some
$4,000 to the shippers of the iron, and in
order to recover some Of this it began salvage
operations For this purpose barge carry
ing derrick and power hoist was employed.
together with powerful electromagnetic The
bottom Of the river was explored with the
electromagnetic and in time over 80 per cent.
or Approximately four hundred tons. Of the
iron was recovered. In the meantime the
price Of the iron had gone up appreciably
witt the result that the recovered cargo was
sold for $4,000, while the total cost Of re-
covering it. including the purchase of the
magnet and other equipment, did not exceed
$4,000. Thus the insurance company realized
$4,000 profit on the transaction. The magnet
used was 43 inches in diameter and of the
waterproof type"

Instead of using a steam hammer the

slides along q rod, the bottom of which is
attached to 4 cap Of the pile, the top to the

Germany Grows Boastfu!
Over Batik.

\ UNIQUE exhibition began in Berlin
4 November called the Batil Exhibi-
ton. TIE Batik process, which was discov-
cred in the Dutch Indies, consists of dyeing
in designs upon velvet and similar goods,
with an application of wax upon the parts
to be left uncolored The Germans now
claim to have developed the process in some
remarkable ways. so that this exhibition
is described in a boastful way in the press
as not only q triumph Of the German dye
industry, but also as registering further
progress in finding ways and means to
hold through TO the bitter end with the
war. 1t is claimed, for example. that the
we'll worn garments of the German people
can be treated "batikally" and made to
look as good as new, besides making them
lasts much longer. Beyond that. the further
claim is made that the Germans have
learned to batik' wood pulp and give it
silky finish. According to the reports from
Berlin over three hundred German and
Austrian "artists' had entered their prod

a Postoffice on Wheels
TRAVELLING ro-4oqoo ~

a TRAVELLING postofice to deliver
- mail to the various departments of
a .ensive industrial plant, replacing
messengers and pneumatic tubes, is now
being used by an East Pittsburgh electric
manufacturing firm. according to The
american Machinist,' which writes
This plant covers large area, and mail
is collected and delivered ON two Aoors: to
avoid confusion and delay a travelling post
office was devised which makes six trims
every working day. Ifor this purpose "a
electrical industrial truck was selected. and
both sides number Of compartments
were constructed similar 20 pieeonholes in
q small postotfice. At ore end of the vehicle
sorting table installed and space
was left under The shelves 20 receive large
packages.
The portable postofiice requires about an
aour to make its round of deliveries and
collections. Sorting Of mail matter pro-
cceds while the car is ON It's route through
the plant, for the clerk has no responsi-
bility concerning the operation Of the little
truck; that is intrusted to a young man who
has other duties
1T is estimated that saving in tiinc and
labor Of no less than 80 per cent has resulted
