THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY. FEBRUARY H 1898. Ill MODERN USES FOR COMPRESSED AIR Almost Countless Now and Arc Rapidly Multiplying. CALLED ELECTRICITY'S BROTHER APorce Tlint Cnu Move u .llountnlii or Trnco n Itnlr Iilne, I Alwny.i Rendy and Kany to Ho Mnnacoil, nnd Can He Itotighly Hnndled With Imiunlly--Nov Application. Vrom tho New Yoik Bun. The wonderful advances In the ap plications of electricity to Industrial purposes during the Inst ten years have attracted so much puhllc attention that tha inroads made upon what was re garded as the Inalienable domain of the Bteam engine by another power have been almost unobserved. This power, which bids fair to claim a brother's place beside tho electric cur rent in the field of distributing energy, , la compressed air. The fact Is that compressed air has made Its way Into man's service In so many ways nnd through eo many channels that If it were to cense to bo man's servant he would suffer widespread Inconvenience. Before telling of the services of com pressed nlr It may bo well to forestall any misapprehension as to the rela tionship which this force or electricity bears to steam. It Is not uncommon to hear persons say that the day of steam Is passing. "Soon," they bay, "everything will be done by these new powers, and the steam engines may be sold for junk." This Is far from the truth. Every electric dynamo or motor and every compressed ulr machine that has been ndded to the world's supply hns made more work for the steam en gine, nnd such will continue to be the case except In the few places where some natural water power may be brought Into use with economy. Com prescd air and electricity are rapidly driving the steam engine with its shaftings and beltings out of use as means for distributing power or for producing It In small quantities for Iso lated use. The steam engines of the near future will all be enormous ma chines driving dynamos or air com pressors, and sending their energy out through far-reaching networks of Wires or pipes to the places where the power Is to be used. Power stations are springing up everywhere, and with each Increase In the size of boiler and engine plants there comes a greater economy In the consumption of fuel and the working of the steam engine. TWO FORCES COMPARED. As distributers of energy, air and electricity go side by side, and, although like handy brothers, each oan do many of the things which the other does, each has Its own special field of labor. Elec trical energy can bo produced, distrib uted and converted into power with far loss loss than Is possible with com pressed air, but the appliances for do ing this are much more delicate and expensive, and are fit only to be put into the hands of experts for use and care. Compressed air Is a rougher handed Workman. It can be set to work In swamps and ditches and quar ries, digging mud, battering rocks to pieces, or loading and unloading cars, and although the men who handle it are rough-handed, too, It remains a faithful co-worker that does not be come a dangerous neighbor, like the llery lightning. New Yorkers who would like to see how compressed air Is being used today to do man's hard work can find a fine example of Its application on the old Jerome Park site where Contractor McDonald Is building the vast new Cro ton water reservoir. On a hilltop, al most In the centre of the tract to be reduced to a level, stands the old ball room of the Jockey Club house, and within this great steam engines labor In silence, driving pumps which suck In the free air and Imprison it, squeezed down to hut a small part of Its original volume. Out from the power house run steel pipes, some of them eight Inches In diameter, and these and their branches reach to every place where work Is in progress. Three and a half million cubic feet of f.olld rock must be drilled and blasted and taken away from the site of the reservoir, and an equal amount of earth. Where the rochs rise one may see drills pegging away at them, filling them with' holes for the blasts. All about these work ings rise derricks for handling the broken rock. Drills and derricks are worked by the compressed nlr, carried tto each by wire-wound rubber hose as leaslly moved or connected as If tho povar were water. It was in mines and tunnels that compressed air first made its success, for there it not only supplied power in a handy form, but it also assured to tho workers a pure at mosphere. Now tho coal miner's drills und picks are run by It and in many places the mine cars are drawn to the surface by air locomotives. PNEUMATIC TUBES. In city life one depends upon com pressed air to carry messages through pneumatic tubes and to transport money and change In many stores. Soon air will carry on the entire ex change of malls between Iirooklyn and New York through 'tubes over the linage. The foundation of tho Brook lyn bridge were sunk by means of com pressed air. ',nd the new East River hrodge will, iave its foundations sunk in the same way. Not a piece of meat comes to .the table from the great abattoirs of Chicago that has not been cheapened by the compressed air lifts which handled it in the many depart ments through which It passed from the living animal. It Is, however, in the machine shop, the foundry, the railroad nhop, and on railroads themselves, that compressed air has proved Itself of value In the greatest variety of ways. Other pow ers might be Just as good but for the THINK OP THE DIFFERENCE between th nntnm nrv. -.. ,.- .. .. habita of n ; 'Tz " Cottolcnc and lard.

Rightly used, it greatly unproves the food and the health i --. . TUB If, K. PAinilANIC COMPANV, v-mcago, bu fact that none la so cosy of applica tion. All .that Is needed to connect an air machine with tho supply pipes Is a rubber hose, nnd when tho nlr has done Its work It can be turned looso with advantage. There Is no danger If a tube bursts, as from steam, or K the covering bo worn off, art with elec ttlclty. In some shops each lathe or other tool has Its air engine, nnd the operator has but to turn a rock to control Its movements. In others, each big tool has Its crane, worked by air, by which the work Is placed In the tool or taken out or carried from place to place. In some shops .these lifts arc plain cylinders- and pistons, hung from overhead rallrondH, and when the work has been lifted by letting air In under the piston a cock Is turned, the hose disconnected, and the whole lift und Its load wheeled along, und the load deposited as gently as one liken by simply letting the air escape uguln out of the cock. Air lifts are of the greatest use In the foundry, where they take the place of men to lift the copes or upper parto of the moulding llnsks, to tnke the pnttcrns out of tho moulds, or to place cores In position. The nlr power for these purposes works so delicately that It makes it possible for the moulders to pattern the most Intricate forms with a success which could not be ob tained In any other way. When It comes to the pouring of the metal, air handles the great pots of glowing Iron with the same delicacy. When the castings have been made, air lifts them from their bed, und a blast of It laden with sharp sand cleans them more quickly than they have ever been cleaned by other means. RANOE OF ITS USE. Tho range of Its use Is enormous. The little tool with which the dentist com pacts the films of gold leaf In a tooth may be driven by It, and It Is the medium which controls the action of the biggest cannon when these are mounted on disappearing gun car riages. This country's monitor, the Terror, has all her most Important parts controlled by air. She Is steered by compressed nlr, her guns are loaded and trained by it. and her turrets, weighing hundreds of tons, are moved by it. The principle upon which tho automatic hammer of the dentist Is made Is the sa,mc, ns that used In the rock drill, and 'it Is the basis of the application of compressed air to many interesting tools. The post which holds the actual tool In these machines is not moved directly by tho air, but just above It lies a plunger which is vi brated back and forth by tho air, and this strikes blows on the head of the working tool when the tool Is pressed back against it. Among the tools made in this form are riveters for setting up the rivets which hold together steam boilers, the framework of Iron bridges, and of the bird-cage framed skyscrapers; more over, such tools are used to the entire exclusion of hand riveting In many of the largest machine shops, boiler works, and In shipyards where steel ships are built. Another tool of the same sort is for upsetting and culklng the seams In boilers and ships, and a modification of this is used to knock the scale off old boiler plates. For the marble and stone worker tools of this sort are made which far excel any hand tool. One of these Is an automntlc facing tool, which pre pares the slabs of stone for the hand worker, and the other takes the place of the mallet and chisel for fine work. Tho operator grasps a hand piece and presses tho tool to the face of the stone. In exact response to his pressure, tho air is admitted to work the plunger In side, and every one of the 20,000 blows a minute which the plunger strikes is graded absolutely by the hand of the operator. The oscillations of a plunger working crosswise are used In other tools to drive a cutter, and a horse clipping knife Is made for use In this country and tho same sort of tool is used in Australia for sheep shearing. One man with this knife can do as much as two or three men with the eld shears, and the clip is better and more valuable, because nearer be ing even. PORTABLE TOOLS. Another class of portable tools has proved of great value In the shops. In it the air drives a rotarv motor, and this operates drills, reamers and screw cutting taps. Two men with one of thee machines will tap the holes and put in 700 stay bolts in a boiler In a day. Many useful machines are oper ated by applying to them a simple cylinder nnd piston worked by air at fifty to eighty pounds piessure to the square inch. There are great shears worked In this way which' will bite off the end of the big steel beams that are peen going into bridges or buildings, nnd little shears which one man can use to cut out the old stay bolts on boilers. There are punches worked in this way and jacks for lifting car bod ies and similar things, and presses which do all sorts of things, from form ing the top of a tin can to putting car wheels on their axles. It Is a simple contrivance of the same sort which operates tho nlr brakes on railroad cars, and this Is probably tho greatest of modern Improvements in railroad ing. Compressed air serves many more purposes in operating railroads. Tho conductor signals to the engineer by its means, the fireman may ring tho engine bell In tho same way and the signals and switches along tho line may be operated by It. There Is at least one car which has seat cushions and mat tresses made so that they can bo in flated with air from the brake supply by merely opening a cock In the car and the seats thereby transformed at will Into beds. Compressed nlr Is one of the most Im portant factors In keeping cars clean. After the sweepers and scrubbers have done their work, the duster comes along. There are crevices where a feather duster would not reach, but a jot of nlr one-tenth of an Inch In diam eter will reach every place and, pro jected with force, will carry out every paitlcle of dust. Rome may have won dered how the plu3h cushions were ,"Tu,rrnf ,na ue nil vi i 1 1 r niitnnAk ., AU tT,L,fcr,"',n?,"0A0,?l'B.0jaeverywl1ereinone "" wur iruuo marcs "Cutta anra"raa '" jouib.

Wo have learned concerning the appointment of several ot them, while others were brought hi quietly nnd no mention muile in tho history. The number being com plete Jesus determined to send them fotth for a short time, perhaps for u mouth (i.uko lx, ut, as missionaries. Hfverai considerations mny have Induced i 1 1 tn to do this. lie might have desired to be alone for Divine communings, ns was his frequent custom (Mutt, xlv, Vi). H Is more probable that lie sought to test them, and to prepare them for rol ler Instruction, for, when absent from I Urn. many questions would arise In their minds. Besides, by this method He in creased the number of voices und agents In Ills cause, for they went out two nnd two (Mark vl 7), nnd He took another direction (Mutt, xl., 1;, thus making seven parties engaged In evangelistic work. Today's lesson contains the Instructions given before theiy departure. THE PERSONS. (Verses I to 4). Peter und Andrew; James and John, l'hlllp and Bartholomew; Thomas und Matthew; Junius, the son of Alpheus, und Labbaeus Thaddeus; Simon and Judas, these were the honored representatives of the Lord Jesus. Here are three pairs of brothers. The whole company represented every possible type of character the Impetuous nnd the strong, the loving and the true, tho mercenary and the doubtful, the guileless and the wise. Here wus the ex perience of ago and the vivacity of youth, with various ages lying between. But they were chosen men they had not come of their own accord into this ottlce, neither had they been thrust Into 11 by their fellowmen, but Jesus, having seen In them some qualities which might bo used to Ills- purpose. Invited them and commissioned them. In so doing He exer clsed His own high prerogative as the head of tho church In selecting His sub ordinates (John xv., 10) . THE FIELD (Verses 5 and 0). Where were tho apostles to go? Not among the Gentiles or Samaritans, but to "the lost sheep of the house of Israel," the Jews. Why this limitation? The Gospel was In tended for the world (John III., 10), und tho apostles would ultimately be sent ev erywhere (Mark xvl., 15). But the Jews must receive it first, or, at least, they must have the first olfer (Luko xxlv., 47). The Messiah cimo through them (John Iv, 22). They wcio best pre pared to receive Him because they had tho Scriptures (Rom. Ill, 1), which told Him (John v. 3D). Jesus, therefore, proposed to gain from nmong the Jews those who would becoma Ills first ministers, best able to carry ior ward His work. Ho was not willing now to devote time to tho Samaritans, who were a mongrel race, a mixture of for eigners with a remnant of ten tribes (2 Kings xvl., 21). Their religion was u compound of Judaism and idolatry. True, Jesus preached there once (John iv., (i), but nothing was done for them afterward, so far as we know, until the Pentecost (Acts vlll., 5). THE WORK (Verges 7 and S). What were the apostles to do? Five things preach tho kingdom ot heaven, heal the sick, cleanse tho lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils. They were to do this kept so clean and bright; It Is air which does It In many cases. They are tak en out of the car and n flat air nozzle Is run over them and every bit of dirt blown away. The mats and rugs are cleaned In the same way. AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. . The ability of rapidly moving air to pick up and carry particles of other things has been taken advantage of for many years in some forms, but has been applied In new ways recently. Ono of these Is for painting and white washing. The World's Fair buildings were painted In .this way', and the great Manufactures building, covering thirty-one acres, was kalsomlned inside In a month by a double-spray machine which covered 31,300 square feet of sur face a day. These machines are mere ly big atomizers of the kind that wo men use for their toilet, but fed with a continuous supply of air. With one of these machines one man can paint twenty-eight or thirty thirty-four-foot coal cars in a day, or one car in ten minutes, and the paint is driven into every crack and crevice of the wood. Men are using the same machines now In painting the elevated railroad struc ture, and It Is said a saving In labor ot SO to 73 per cent. Is made by them. By applying the same principle, an ar tist's air brush Is made, and this is used for decorating silks and satins, china and porcellan, for coloring maps and photographs, nnd even for enaklng entire pictures. The air blast carries fcut the pigment In a stream which makes a fine line when the brush Is held close to the paper, and a wider and wider one as it Is withdrawn, and tho quantity of pigment used ts regu lated by the pressure of tho artist's thumb on the side of the tool. It Is aald that no other brush can produce such shadings. Substitute sharp sand for the paint fed to tho nlr blast, and you have a tool which will destroy the most stub born of substances. With the sand blast steel ships are cleaned of barna cles, old paint and rust; castings are polished or letters and patterns are carved Into stone, patterns are ground In glass, or a satin finish Is produced on articles of metal. On the railroads the same blast Is used to carry sand to the tracks to keep the wheels from slipping or to blow sand Into the paint on the tops of cars. OTHER t'SES. A quarter of a century ago bakers began using compressed air to. raise bread Instead of carbonic acid gas from yeast growth, and aerated bread Is still sold. In sugar refineries a blast of air Is used to mix syrupci, and paint Is mixed In tho same way, while in chemical works and breweries com pressed nlr drives liquids from one tank to another, and almost every saloon draws the beer nowadays from half barrels down In the cellar and forces It up to the tap -by compressed ulr. Compressed air la used for Ice-mak-Ing and refrigerating, for beating eggs and dampening clothes In the laundry for filling bicycle tires and working elevators, and for operating the flam ing torches which light the workmen who repair the street railroad tracks at night. POLISH. NC PRECIOUS STONES A llrlcf Description of n Vary Inter- t esllug Process. From the Philadelphia Times. The first thing necessary In polishing n precious stone Is to silt It; this Is done by means of a thin sheet-Iron disk, placed fn a horizontal position and made to revolve by very simple machinery. Diamond dust Is applied to tho edge of the disk, and sperm-oil Is dropped upon It from a can, If properly managed a very small The Twelve Seot 'Matt. X;2-!5. ns they went, becoming Itinerant, not set tled ministers. Their preaching treated the same theme as that of John the Bap tist and of Jesus (Matt. 111., 1; iv., 17), tho ushering In pr the new dispensation, and the proper preparation for It (Murk vl., 12). In unfolding their theme they doubt less Interpreted the prophets (Dan. II,, 41), showing that the tlmo and tho Person expected by pious Jews hud actually come (Luke vlll., : John Iv., 23). They probnbly dwelt most on tho nature of tho kingdom not nn outward and temporal affair, with pomp nnd power, hut In ward and spiritual (Mitt. III., 2; John ill., 3; Rom. xiv., 17). Tho power which they received and exercised (Acts lx., 36), was destgncd to attest their commission and exhibit tho benevolent character ot the kingdom. This work was to be done freely, without price, even as they had re ceived tho grace of Christ. They wero not to bo hirelings. THE OUTFIT (Vorses 9 and 10). What shall these men take with them In doing their work? "Neither gold, nor silver, nor brass") the three kinds of money then used must bo refused. "Nor script" that Is bag or knapsack, commonly mado of skin or coarse cloth, In which provisions wero carried (1 Sam. xvll., 40). "Neither two coats, nor extra shoes, nor mora than one staff." In short, they wero to go In light marching older, with out money, without provisions, without extra clothing. Nearly the same com mand was afterward given to the seven ty (Luko x 1-11). But why? Not be cause that would be tho permanent out fit of a minister, for Jesus Himself sub sequently gave other directions (Luko xxll, 33). But now He Intends that apos tles shall bo unincumbered, nnd that they shall 11 vo on the people to whom they go (Matt, x., 10; 1 Cor. lx., 14). Besides, a. company of ministers lightly attired, possessing none of the world's goods, bearing a heavenly message, would moro quickly gain public confidence and moro easily and surely win success. THE HOSPITALITY (Verses 11 to 13). The direction concerning their outfit re quired some Instruction In regard to tho support of the upostles. How and where shall they abide? "Enter a city and seek a worthy fnmlly, saluto It, there ublde, nnd let your peace, or blessing, como upon It." They must enter the homes ot good people after a little Inquiry. This was a very Important direction. Homo life would be better than public life. As sociation with pious families, pastoral visitation, is excellent service for the Master. By observing this rule every one knew where the missionary might he found (Acts x., C). And great blessings would come In this way to many house holds (Acts xxl., 8). And so it enmo to pass that tho first churches were formed in homes (Acts xvl., 31; Rom. xvl., M, nmong thoso who were expecting the Messiah (John 1.. 43: Luke xl., 23). And there, In good soil, the seed, early plant ed, germinated and bore fruit (Acts xvl., 13). THE REJECTION (Verses 14 and 15). The apostles must not always expect kindly greetings. If men refused them and their message, what shall they do? Go quietly away to some other place, as If their mission wero unimportant and their rejection a small matter? Oh, no, quantity of diamond-dust will last nil day, and not much of It will be lost. In order txi prevent appreciabe loss, a table with a raised edge oil around It Is provided. The diamond-dust used in polishing stones Is made from bort, or cheap, coarse diamonds. After being silt, the stone is ground on horizontal wheels of lead, brass or Iron, and sometimes of wood. These wheels are called "laps," nnd the work man who cuts and polishes stones In a lapidary, from the Latin word lapldar ius. Lapidaries acquire great facility in shaping and polishing stones, and from a given pattern are able to pro duce any object required with great dexterity. Diamond, emery, agate or corundum powder Is spread on the laps; gradually the powder becomes Imbed ded in tho laps and the stone yields to thorn. The stone Is held cither with the fin gers or by wax In Hie hollow at the end of a stick, and is pressed against the revolving laps. For the last pol ish the laps are covered with cloth, leather or hard brushes. The facets, or, flat sut faces that give brilliancy to transparent stones, are cut by means of a horizontal grinding wheel by tho side ot which Is placed an upright, club like piece of wood. Into this heavy piece of wood, In dif ferent places, a rod Is stuck, at one end of which the stone Is fixed with cement. As the wheel revolves the stone la pressed against It and a facet is cut; to make a new facet, the rod holding the stone Is bimply stuck In r.nother hole In the club-like piece of wood and is thus given a new inclina tion or angle.

In the street they must shako the dust from their feet-an Oriental practice, signifying condemnation, there by announcing tho sin of tho people. And what shall bo tho outcome? In tho day when God Judges that city, not tho gen eral Judgment of tho world at the last day (Rev. xx., 12), but nt the time when Ho estimates a city's character and sends retribution, tho rejectors shall be deemed moro guilty than the people of Bottom and Gomoruh, who wero destroyed by fire (Gen. xlx). Fearful retribution. These words wero designed to make tho apos tles feel tho dignity nnd tho solemnity of their mission unil to lead them Into tho most zealous performances of duty. A llfo nnd death errand was committed to them, THE CI t Alia H. (Verse 16). The oppo sition which the apostles would encounter appears to have como vividly to tho Sav iour's mind, as well It might, becuuse of His own experiences. Hence Ho fore warns them by declaring, "Behold, I send you forth us sheep In tho midst of wolves," a beautiful tribute to them a scathing denunciation of their enemies. On that account He enjoins them to be "wlso ns serpents and'hurmles3 ns doves." No nntmnl equals tho serpent In its rap idity and skill in escaping from Injury. None Is moro worthy to be an emblem of a purpose (Gen. Ill, 1), best with diffi culties. To nil that must be ndded simple, inoffenslvo uprightness, such that no ono can Justly bring any accusation. Or, briefly, harm no one, but be very careful not to bo harmed. In these few words our Lord did not enjoin what some now tench a careless presumption upon Dl vlno providence but rather that circum spection nnd Innocence which Providence always employs In the protection of men. CONCLUSION. Note these instruc tions. 1. Tho minister should go where Jesus sends him. There Is a right order and direction )n religious effort; there uro strategic points to be taken first (Acts xvl, 9). 2. Tho compassion of Jeaiu survives all tho Ill-treatment Ho re ceives. Though many turned against Him, yet, like a good shepherd (John x, 11), He regards tho wayward people ns lost sheep and sends messengers to fold them (II Peter ill, f). 3. The Gospel Is free. No mm, entering tho ministry, may fix a prlco upon It (Acts vlll, IS). But ho Is entitled to u support, a living, as good as that of those to whom ho mln Iste'rs (I Cor. lx, 14). They may tuko him homo nnd divide with him or supply a home for htm. 4. Tho best lodnlngs for u minister are In tho homes of the pious, not In the place of worldly pride and wealth. There he may bless and oo blessed freo from criticism and tempta tion, n.. An urgent causo demands sacri fice. He who goes to the poor may best go poor. But woo to tho rich who suffer God's ministers to want (Gal. vl, G). Thero aro two proper measures of a minister's Income, two extremes between which It may vibrate that pittance which he cheerfully accepts for the Master's sake when necessity requires, that abund ance which grateful wealth may bestow. G. In every work for JeMis men ought to comblno wisdom and harmlessness. This world must be saved through tho instru mentality ot sanctified brains. PILLS, Always Reliable. Purely Vegetable.
