Unless the present scarcity and high
prices of iron are the temporary effects
of causes which may bo sjiecdily re
moved, they must operate as a serious
check to the prosperity and progress of
all civilized nations. The rapidly in
creasing demand for and consumption
of this metal, in its various manufac
tured forms, has already been brought
to a halt; and enterprises of great
utility, and even of national impor
tance, are now awaiting further devel
opments upon this subject.
This enhanced cost falls with the
most severe and parlyzing effect upon
railroad building enterprises, and
hence indirectly upon the general in

has beeu jvorn olf niore on one side
thau on the other. When a stone is
driven by a treadle, a large part of the
grinding is done on one side of the
stone when the treadle is going down.
In such a case, the stone should be re
hung with the journal nearer one side
of the eye than the centre of it. After
it has been hung as true as practica
ble, screw down the caps of the bear
ing-boxes so that the journal will have
no play; then, with the end of an old
file, turn a small groove near each edge
of the periphery, after which dress off
each side with a sharp cold-chisel an
inch or more from the grinding sur
face. Now fix a solid rest close to
each side of the stone, turn a small
groove in each side of the stone, and
seriously increases the expense. Mr.
Spear’s invention greatly reduces the
size of conduit necessary for long dis
tances.

As a remedy for this difficulty,.MU.
Jacob Woodb«rn v of Indianapolis, has .
applied to the Sarvm wheel the follow- -
ing new principles, which* arc claimed?
to work very advantageously.. Of the •
first he writes: “We make a tight
joint, first, by making the tenon of thc •
spoke oval; and, instead of <|oing this
by filing and shaving, which qntrue
and uncertain, we have.a machine that
turns the tenon perfectly smooth and .
true, and as oval as may be required.
An intelligent mechanic at once sees
the benefit of this, ’j'bq holqis npmu}.
the tenon is oval j thu.^ ^ tbe:. ..wedging
pressure of the tenon is upon the euds
instead of upon the sides of the fiber of
the wood, preventing,, , considera
ble extent, the swelling and splitting of;
t!l( ; fen y-” ; . . .»! "
This idea, of making tbe tenons of. ‘
spokes oval instead of round,- appears
to us to be a very practicable one, and
it admits of wide application. Why
would not every wheel be stronger -
with its spoke tenons ovaied? The-
points where the spokes connect,-w.ith:
thc rim at one end and the hub at the-
other are the two weakest points in the
wheel; but, in the Sarven wheel, this
weakness is mostly transferred from
the hub to tiierim. This is why the
oval tenon is particularly valuable in
the Sarven wheel; but tbe same prin
ciple applies to all wheels. The second
invention of Mr. Woodbum will Ih;
best understood by the following de
scription by himself. He says:
“Ourlong experience in making
wheels has shown us that, while the
oval tenon is a very great improve
ment upon the common method,, yet
it only partially removes the difficulty!
The best timber, under the extraordi
nary pressure and strain brought upon
it by rough roads, crossing the rails of
street railroads, etc.* will sometimes
■split, and, this giving way, the spoke
becomes loose. This is a great air
noyance and expense to the owner df‘
the carriage, ami mortification and!
damage .to the manufacturer of it.—
This difficulty has been met by our-
patent felly rivet, which makes it im
possible for a felly to split A tight
fitting wood screw, with a sharp thread,
is put through the felly, oh each side
of every spoke in the wheel, making
twelve feet of rivet in every set ofwhecK.
This screw, after being tightly put in
and firmly imbedded In the fiber of
the wood, is cut off smooth on each
side of the felly, so that when the
wheel is painted it is not seen. This
makes the joint more secure than t '.o-
method of putting a bolt, With head
and nut, to every spoke, and detracts
nothing from the beauty of the wheel.*'
