THE MARINE RECORD 3 ENGINEERING AND MECHANICAL INVEN'TIONS. From the Seinntific American. A flue plugging device for mending the flues of locomotive and other engine boilers whben they become ruptured, and which may be accomplished by this implement while tle boiler isin use, has been patented by Mr. Frank Sharp, of Los Angelos, Cal. Mr. Lewis E. Williams, of Peekskill, N. YY, is the patentee of an improved burglar alarm and door bell, in which a gong is at- tached to the lock spindle inside ot the house, sa. that the turning of the knob to open the doors at the same time operates the hammer and sounds the alarm, Mr. John Strachan, of New York city, has obtained a patent for an improved method of bushing the flue openings of steam boiler heads, which consists in an untlared ring of soft metal, and driving this ring into the flue opening of the boiler head, and finally expanding the ring in the opening, whereby the inner walls of the ring will always be in the form of a true circle, insuring always a perfect fit with the ends of the boiler, flues. A machine for trimming lumber has been patented by Mr. W. B. Swartout, of ‘Three Rivers, Mich. ‘I his machine is an improve- ment upon a machine patented November 29, 1881, by the same inventor, which wus designed for cu:ting lumber or boards into standard lengths, certain ot the saws being thrown automatically out of action according to the length of the lumber, ‘he object how- ever, of the present improvement is to pro- vide for throwing the automatie mechanism into or out of action by hand or foot. An improved governor for steam engines has been patented by Mr. William Knowles, of Bolton, county of Lancaster, England. Instead of employing the ordinary ball gov- ernor for controlling the activn of the throt- tle valves and cut-offs of the engine, Mr. Knowles has interposed between the main governor and the valve aregulating govern- or which operates automatically, and serves to accelerate the acvion of the governor on. the cut-off, and reduce to a minimum the variation in the speed of the engine. A magnetic separator, intended for sepa- rating iron sand from common sand, the ob- ject being to obtain as large a percentage as possible of the ore free from other sands, has been patented by Mr. Joseph La B. Viger, of Montreal, Canada. ‘The invention con- sists in an endless traveling apron combined with a series of magnets placed at an In- clination, so that as the sand is ted to the side of the apron the magnetic particles will ébe retained thereon and carried forward to the discharge end, while the common sand will fall through into a waste receiver below. An improved apparatus tor regulating the feed water supply of steam boilers, whereby the level of the water may be constantly maintained at the same point, has been pat- ented by George C. Pyle, of Dayton, O.. This contrivance is so constructed that when the water in the regulator reaches the level re- quired, the float will automatically open the escape pipe, and the water instead ef flowing from the pump into the regulator, will pass off by the escape valve, but if the water falls below the proper level the escape valve will be closed, and the water will tlow into the regulator again until the water has acquired the desired level. A balanced rotary valve is the subject of a patent granted to Mr. Abel E. Wilson, of Worcester, Mass. ‘The invention consists in a double valve carried by a single stem and formed with ports combined with a body or cage for use with regulators for either steam, water or air, and is applicable for any situation where a trictionless valve ia necessary. ‘lhe two valves are palanced by the pressure of water, or other fluid, an consequently there is no triction even under heavy pressure, ‘The valves may be rocked by slight variations in pressure in the regn- lator. ‘Ihe valve case is to be connected in a water supply pipe for regulating the dis- charge and pressure, and having the stem connected to a pressure diaphragm in any suitable manner. or THE PEAR JAMES DID NOT TAKE. “James!” ‘Yes, pa.” ‘here were seven California pears in that cupboard. Six of them are gone. Do you know anything about it?” “I never took one’of them.” “Sure?? “Certain, pa. Wish I may die if—’? “You wicked, bad boy; how often have I told you never to use such an ex- pression? Here comes ma, let us see if she knows anything about it.” Mamma says she saw Jumes take at least five of them. “You little rascal! How dare you tell me you never took one, and here ts only this little one with the grub-eaten side left?” “Ob pa, don’t hit me. I snid I didn’t take one of them—and—and—and that’s the one I didn’t take.” Pa relented. —— LONG ROAD TO RUIN. The liquor saloons in New York alone, placed in opposite rows, would make a street eleven miles in length.
