An explosion of a storehouse containing some hundreds of pounds of nitro-glycerine took place at Fairport, Ohio, in 1870, accompanied with much loss of life. The shock was felt at Buffalo, 160 miles distant. Nobel, in 1867, invented a compound called dynamite, which consists of three parts nitroglycerine and one part of porous earth.

are provided with spirally arranged knives, held between segmental binder-plates. Apertures at both ends are provided, so that the machine may be fed and run in either direction, to sharpen the knives and grind at the same time. McAllister's, 1870, has a cylinder of oblique blades operating upon vertical parallel blades on the concave beneath. In some cases the grinder is a frustum of a cone discharging at the base. Flock-grinder. In the example (Fig. 2028), the box has radial agiards wide to 1 10/16. After fulling, the cloth is washed to remove the soap. The method of fulling woolen goods in early times in Ohio is well described by Judge Johnston of Cincinnati, in his address before the Pioneer Society of that city, 1870. Kicking blankets. When wool became abundant, the method of scouring and fulling blankets, flannels, cassinets, and even cloths, was simple.

nergetic working permitting the use of a much smaller quantity of water than usual. Mortar-mills, pug-mills, and many other machines come under this description, e. g. machines for mixing the ingredients of pills.

m to enable it to volatilize the bisulphide of carbon in a. g is a gas-holder to hold any superfluous gas, to keep the capacity adjusted to the varying volume of the contents. The boiling-point of the bisulphide of carbon is 118° Fah. The process is adapted to dissolving the oils contained in the strippings of machine-cards in factories, and saving the waste from the axles of car-boxes, the journal-boxes of machinery. See also Sim's and Hutchinson's processes and machines, patented 1869, 1870, 1871. These are also particularly intended for extracting fusel-oil from grain. Oil-fil′ter. Robinson's oil-filter acts by the upward pressure of a column of water below the oil. The operation is as follows: — Robinson's oil-filter. Oil-gas apparatus.
