pressure which wail be required lu. etety given in
crement of temper: uie—so that the d se of uzyg,en,
which proper combustion demands, shall, by such
increased pressure, t•e fairly supplied to the furnace.
That this is of importance cannot be matter of doubt,
when we knots that, if the temperature of the hut
air be 600 deg. (and at is often higher), it would, if
not subjected to restraint, increase its bulk in the
proportion as two and a qtiatter is to one. Foru
nately, for easy calculation, the law holds good that
the dilatation previously referred to is uniform, both
at very high and very low temperatures, so that great
exactitude may be arrived at. It may be objected
to all these observations, that their application to
smelting purposes can be of no use to the lion mas
ter, but I am satisfied that, tf science goes hand in
hand with manufacture, the latter must be benefit
t‘ el.
o It has been found in •the reduction of the Welsh
ores with anthracite ( to which this letter may be
considered principally to refer,) that but little good .
can be done under a pillar of bleat equal to 2i 113. ;
in fact, the greater the pressure and higher the
temperature of the hot air, the more wall this other
wise intractable ft.•e! be made available to the reduce
Clod of the ores associated with it : indeed, by the
aid of.. hot blast," stone-coal will smelt any de
scription of iron mine whatever, it matters not bow
lean or how rich—whether a mild "or a'• hot"
mine, as the local phrase goes—this remarkable fu
el will reduce them all. And, by the singular but
certain manner in which it imparts its carbon du
ring cementation, it enables those ores to be smelt
ed with advantage which heretofore could not be
used in the manufacture of good pig-iron it will
soon be seen that these very qualities, to, wi t h
its capability of bearing transit, will occasion an
thracite to be exported from %Vales to foreign coun
tries possessing iron ore bat no fuel.
