The modern "Tube Mill" is a most efficient grinding machine, and is rapidly raking the place of Chilian Mills, Roller Mills, Grinding Pans, and similiar apparatus. Though used for many years as a cement grinder, the first reference, found by the author, to its use as an ore crushing machine, was in the year 1892, when it was used by Dr. Diehl for grinding Kalgoorlie Ores.

[...] DESCRIPTION. The Gray horizontal engine is of the 4 Cycle single acting type and has a single cylinder. It is fitted with a reciprocating fuel pump, which forces the gasoline into the ordinary type or jet carburettor. The pump action is determined by a shaft governor, which has a range of from 200 to 400 R.P.M's., but is very erratic at the lower speeds. When the speed rises above that for which the governor is set, the exhaust valve is held open, and the automatic inlet valve remains closed and by a system of levers, the pump is prevented …  Lire la suite

In presenting this paper, by way of introduction it may be of interest to make a brief resume of the historical evolution of the subject of Geology. history of the development of any subject, scientific or otherwise, is but a biographical sketch of the men who are responsible for its growth; so in following from its infancy the progress and development of the subject of geology, I shall select a few of the men who have the honour to be classed as the founders of one of our most modern and instructive sciences, and describe briefly the work they accomplished …  Lire la suite

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, son of Marcus A.Seneca the rhetorician, was born at Cordova in Spain probably a few years before Christ. Without going into details , it may be said that hisearly training was very much like that of the youth of his time After having mastered the rudiments, he was sent to a rhetorician, where he spent considerable time and attention on the suasoriae and controversiae, so necessary for the education of a Koiaan youth in the time of the Empire. Abandoning rhetoric, he pursued the more congenial study, as he thought, of philosophy, accepting the Stoic principles. [...]  Lire la suite

In these days of close commercial competition the line between the success or failure of many industrial enterprises is often perilously narrow and their directors must needs either revert to the uncivilized methods of our predecessors - the robber barons - or devise some method of raising the efficiency of their producing plant in order to continue making a reasonable profit. Mine owners have found this out to their cost as silent mills in many parts of the country hear witness. The cause of their closing down is no doubt not directlytraceable to competition, but is in many cases due …  Lire la suite

[...] In graphical solutions of problems any pair of properties may be used as co-ordinates; if the relation between one pair of properties is given by a curve to one pair of co ordinates, it may, by means of the fundamental equation, be transferred to any other. The pv diagram is the one most commonly used, since it is the one most easily obtained, but for many investigations great advantages are offered by the temperature-entropy diagram.
