Newspaper Page Textm ti s-'l WILLAMETTE FARMER The Nature and Utilization of Slag. Frederick A. Lnckenb&ch recently addressed the New York Society of Practical Engineering, on "The Industrial Uses of Blast Furnace Slag." The main points of bis paper were as follows: Slag is achcmical componnd, the com bination of an acid with various bases, and is as much a salt as the sulphate of alumina or potassa. Its formation is strictly governed by the laws of chemistry. The silica is tho acid, and the lime, alumina, magnesia and the alkalies are the bases. Iron ores are generally silicious. If when an ore is placed in a blast furnace and smelted, no base Is added, in seeking a baee the ore will seize on the oxide of iron, combine with it and carry it off as a slag. To prevent this, limestone, which is a base, is added. A certain quantity of silica requires a certain amount of lime to saturate, another quantity of magnesia, and another of aluminum; all of ..I.I..1. nlttlnn mill W.Mf lirilll ttiolr .llAmfoal ' numu ijuauunun wii inij . uta ....... equivalents. Having, then, analyses of all the material of tho charge, the proportions of each may bo so calculated as to produce a certain Blag. But -with slag, as with other chemical compounds, there may be two atoms of base to ono of acid, two of acid to one of base, or one of base to one of acid; and, according as this is the case, they aro called basic, acid or neutral slags. The acid slags are the most fusible, the neutral nxt, and the basio the least so. Blag is sometimes, according to the proportions of its component parts, a material easily fusible, and possessed of other definite qualitios, and at other times a comparatively Infusible material. Such being ttie character of the product, it has been a problem of great diffi culty to determine what general (.yBtem can be hit upon which for any given purpose will util ize all the different varieties of slag. The first recorded plan for the utilization of slag was that of John Payno, in England, in 1728. He proposed molding the dross by fusing or melting with such mixtures as will prevent its being brittle, and also give it differ ent colors, so as to make It more ornamental and useful. After this came Moshet's plan of 1815, for reworking slag to obtain the iron left in it. Then Orawshay and Moshet in vented a process for recovering the iron be lieved to exist in the refuse of copper smelting, which process appears to be the first use of water for pulverizing molton slag. In 1852, Alexander Cunningbum claimed that sulphate of alumina and alum could bo obtained from slag. In 1853, William and John Longmnnd thought that blast-furnace slag could bo formed into shapes suitable for pavements of streets. In tho same year Georgo Kolicson proposed a new plan. The slag was to bo run in a molten state upon a heated iron table and formed into oheets by rolling. Tho plates wero then to bo annealed and applied for roofing and other purposes. In the following year, Smith, Bes semer & Longsdon secured a patent on a pro cess in which slag was turned into table tops, chimney pieces statues, etc. Joseph Wood ward, of Yorkshire, patented a process for making bricks of Blnjj lor building purposes. A company of capitalists have lately begun to make bricks by this process. Their prospectus asserts that the brick will withstand a crushing force- of ovor four tons per cubio inch, bting five times moro than ordiuary brick will bear. All these projects have proved failures. The secret of securing homogeneity in structure, irrespective of ohemioil action, was not discov ered, although tho process of annealing gavo a faint and shadowy hint of tho direotiou in which it might be found. Mr. Luckinbach read the details of an invention of his own, which he claimed to bo an improvement in the moans of annealing castings mado of blast furnace slag, and which is designed to provido for tho manufacture of paving and building blocks, fire-brick and othor articles from tho f!a8- TriE Towkb op OnniNAnr Wind Eddies. Tho Faribault (Minn.) Democrat, in a lato issue, relates tho following: "A farmer who livos about five miles northwest of Faribault, by tho name of Samuel Johnson, was coing along tho road Saturday last, when suddenly a little whirlwind, which desoribed a clrclo apparently not more than three feet in diamotor, appeared A Water Shell. The Scientific American calls attention to some interesting experiments which have recently been made at Okebampton, England, which have been very succesifnl in proving the great value of the new water shell, which will at once be adopted as a service weapon. The effects of this novel instrument of warfare surpass in destructive power the renowned Bhrapnel shell; and in one experimenl when a battery of the Royal Horse Artillery was in action, as many as fifty-one hits were recorded with the new shell, against twenty-eight made by the shrapnel, fitted with time futies. The wooden dummies, which represented the enemy drawn up in loose order, one pace apart, in the manner of an advancing army, were struck again and again by the minute fragments of tho water shell, which, according to our cor. respondent, inflicted wounds of a far more dangerous nature than those made by the shrapnel or common thell. Tim nature of tho water shell may be ex plained in a fow words. It is not a projectile of special construction, but simply a common shelf or cast iron cylinder filled with water, into which is fitted a small cylinder containing a quarter or, at the most, half an ounce of gun cotton; it is then hermetically sealed; a few grains of fulminate of mercury is placed be tween the gun cotton and the fuse, and, as soon as the latter is fitted, the shell is ready for firing. The cliargo of gunpowder used in the eame sized shell is Bixteen ounces, the explosion of which breaks the shell up into three or four pieces, whereas the one charged with half an ounce of gunpowder flies into a hundred or more fragments. The reason is this: The gun- Eowder explodeg comporotively slowly, and reaks up the sholl at its weak points, while tho gun cotton detonates with a Budden and terrible force, which, being communicated to a non-compressible body (water), bursts the shell instantly into minute fragments, tho en ergy being exerted equally on all sides. So rapid and terrible ii the force generated by the gun cotton that the iron shell is sometimes pulverized, the fragments of metal being so minute as scarcely to be visible. The idea of this terrible Bhcll is due to Pro fessor Abel, who is the patentee of a process to manufacture gun cotton. The English, German and French governments have adopted this new form of gun cotton for torpedoes and shells, as well as for military engineering and submarine mining. Natural Light Superior to Colored. General Pleasanton, of New Jersey, who a few yoars ago supposed he had discovered an im proved way to raise grapes, calvo3 and pigs, by placing them under colored glass, and all those those bad, perhaps, faith In bis method, for whioh he even obtained a patent, will undoubt edly read with profit the following report: " In an experiment made by JI. Thury, the eggs of liana temporaria, a Bpecies of frog, were placed under identical favorable conditions, with the exception that some of the eggs re ceived light through colorless glass and others through Green class. The former developed rapidly, and by the end of May had a length pi over ly incues ana wen aeveiopea muu irsiu most of them; the others were slowly devel oped, blackUh in color, hardly had a length of Ji of an Inch by the end of May, and were without a trace of hind legs. By the 10th of June the former bad their fore legs, and some were changed to frogs; the others, still black, had no trace of legs, and breathed almost ex clusively by means of their gills. By the 15th of July the one lot had become frogs; the others still had no legs, aud by the 2d of August they were all dead, without a trace of legs hav ing appoared. Some of the young of this lot, transferred to the vessel in which were con tained tho developed frogs, finished their metamorphosis," Nkw Modk op IUisino Sunken Snirs.

If the print to be transferred be colored soak it iu salt aud water; if not colored, n water alone, llemove superfluous water by pressing between blotting pads, and then place the picture face down upou the varnish, press ing it smooth. When the varnish is dry, dampen the paper and rub it off with the finger. The picture will be found upon the varnish, and another coat of the latter should be added to bring out the effvet. This process answers equally well for glass or metal suriaces.

PATENTS obtained promptly; OavcaU filed expeditiously; Patent reissues taken out; Assignments made and recorded in legal form; Copies of Patents and Assignments procured; Examinations of Patents made here and at 'Washington; Examinations made of Assignments recorded in Washington; Examinations ordered and reported by Tele graph; Rejected cases taken up and Patents obtained; Interferences Prosecuted; Opinions rendered regarding the validity of Patents and Assignments; every legitimate branch of Patent Agency Business promptly and thoroughly conducted. Our intimate knowledge of the various in ventions of this coast, and long practice in patent business, enable us to abundantly satisfy our patrons; and our success and business are constantly increasing. The shrewdest and most experienced Inventors are found among our most steadfast friends and patrons, who fully appreciate our advan tages in bringing valuable inventions to the notice of the publio through the columns of our widely circulated, first-class journals thereby facilitating their introduction, sale and popularity. Foreign Patents. In addition to American Patents, we secure with the assistance of co-operative agents, claims in all foreign countries which grant Patents, including Great Britain, France, Belgium, Prussia, Austria, Victoria, Peru, Bussia, Spain, British India, Saxony, British Columbia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Mexico, Victoria, Brazil, Bavaria, Holland, Den mark, Italy, Portugal, Cuba, Koman States, Wurtemberg, New Zealand, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Brazil, New Grenada, Chili, Argentine Bepublio, AND EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD where Patents are obtainable. No models are required in European coun tries, but the drawings and specifications should be prepared with thoroughness, by able persons who are familiar with the re quirements and changes of foreign patent laws agents who are reliable and perma nently established. Our sohedule prices for obtaining foreign pat ents, in all cases, will always be as low, and In some instances lower, than those of any other responsible agency. We can ana do get foreign patents for inventors in the Paciflo States from two to six months (according to the location of the country booneb than any other agents. The principal portion of the patent business of tnls coast nas oeen none, uiu i uu uuB done, through our agency. We are familiar with, and have fall records, of all former cases, and can more directly judge of the and patentability of inventions diBOOvered here than any other agents. Situated so remote from tho seat of goverment, delays are even more dangerous to the invent ors of the Pacirlo Coast than to applicants in the Eastern States. Valuable patents may be lost by extra time consumed in trans mining specifications from Eastern agencies back to this coaBt for the signature of the inventor. Confidential. We take great pains to preserve seoreoy in all confidential matters, and applicants for pat ents can rest assured that their communi cations and business transactions will be held striotly confidential by us. Circulars free. Home. Counsel. Our long experience in obtaining patents for Inventors on this Coast has familiarized us with the charaoter of most of the inventions already patented; hence we are frequently able to save our patrons the cost of a fruitless application by pointing them to the same thing already covered by a patent. We are always tree to advise applicants of any knowledge we have of previous applicants which will interfere with their obtaining a Patentl . .

The shakes, or chills, once broken by it, do not return. until the disease is contracted again. This has made it an accepted remedy, and trusted specific, for the Fever and Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of the South. Ayer's Ague Cure eradicates the noiious poison from, the system, snd leaves the patient as well as before the attack. It thoroughly expels the disease, so that no Liver Complaints, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Dysentery, or Debility follow tho cure. Indeed, where Disorders of the Liver and Bowels have occurred from Mlasmatio Poison, it removes the cause of hem and they disap pear. Not only Is it an effectual cure, but, If taken occasionally by patients exposed to malaria, it will expel the poison and protect them from an attack. Travelers and temporary residents of Fever and Ague localities are thus enabled to defy disease. The gen eral Debility which is so apt to ensue from continued exposure to malaria and miasm, has no speedier rem edy. For Liver Complaints it is an excellent remedy. rilEPABED BY Dr. J. O.
