A Treatise on Steet ; Comprising its Theory,
Metallurgy, Properties, Practical Workin,
and Use, By Hf. M. C. Landrin, Jun., Civil
Engineer, Translated from the French with
notes, hy A. A, Fesquet, Chemist and Engi
heer, With an Appendix on '' The Bessemer
and Martin Processes for Manntactnring
Steel," from the Report of Abrain $, Ilewitt,
United States Coioimissioncr to the Universal
Exposition, Paris, 1867,
All who are interested in iron and steel,
whether in the way of prodncing or manufacturing, will find this mannal a useful one,
for rcference as well as for study.
a fow years, advancements of such importanec have been made in the production of
steel by direct processes, in which large
quintities af common malleable iron are
transforined by economical wholesale methods into that degrco of combination with
carbon which we call steel, and which is
fonnd so far superior for almost every kind
of use to which iron ean bo put, that a
Look on the subject supplies a really urgent
demand, These iron and steel manipulations arc iateresting of themselves, in a
general way, to all who have ever chanecd
to have the opportunity to observe such a
grandly simple chemico-mctallurgieal manipnlatiou as the Bessemer proecss for exninple.
In this book the author givcs in small
colpass an insight into the whole question
of the production of steel, includiug the
selections of the ores or kinds of irou and
of the fnel to be employed, and the apparatus and treatment to be preferred. The
book euters into the history of the art and
explains the various processes and methods
long used on the small scale on which only
they have been applicable, as wellas the
new processes of Bessemer, Chenot, Taylor,
Uchatius, and others, which contemplate—
and the first named one especially practieally effects—the manufacture on the large
seale neeessary for an extensive substitution of steel for iron. The report of Mr.
Hewitt, given as an appendix, is valnable
as showing the present state of steel industry. For sale by A. Roman & Co.

PRESIDENT OF THE Stare UNIvERSItTy. —
At a meeting of the Board of Regents of
the State University, held at their rooms on
California street, on Tuesday afternoon, all
but one member of the twenty-two being
present, Gen. George B. McClellan was
elected to fill the office of President, by
twelve votes, while the Rev. Horatio Stebbins received five votes, Prof. William
Henry, of the Smithsonian Institute, one
vote, and I’. L. Olmstead, one vote. The
names of those who voted for Gen. MeClellan were not reported, but it is understood
that he wrs elected strictly by a partisan
political vote, the Board being composed as
follows: Democrats—Messrs. Haight, Hager, Holden, Fitzgerald, Ryland, Hammond, Archer, Parker, Butterworth, Doyle,
Watt, and Moss. Nepublicans—Messrs.
Dwinelle, Stebbins, Felton, Hallidie, and
Low. Reed was absent. We have no doubt
thut Gen MeCllan will accept the position.
An ‘‘ ADVENTURER IN Mines” writes to
the London Mining Journal: ‘‘ The metals
are at a paying price for young mines, but
old mines get more expensive every year,
after 400 yards deep, nnd very few of them
pay after such a great depth. More crosscutting and adit driving ought to be eneouraged, ‘This is the true way to discover
a miuc.”

Letters Patent.
A patent is an opeu letter, embodying all the
Inngunye of tn inventor or his agent, contained in
the specification, without alteration, and ig granted
to citizens of the United States, or those who have
declared their inteatious of becoming such, and is
signed hy the Scerctary of the Interior and the
Commissioner of Patents, with the seal of the Patent Office affixed. Its jurisdiction is for tho whole
United Stutes, for the terni of seventeen years.
A patent right is personal property, and is assignable, but caunot be seized and sold on exccution.
Caveats.
A caveat ia adescription of the invention designed to he patented, lodged in the Patent Office
hefore the patent is applicd for, and while the inventor is perfectiag hts design. When properly
made, it operates as a bar to applications respecting tho sume invention from any other qnarter ;
hut when improperly done, it is iaoperative hy
reason of such defect. The Patent Office always
returns a receipt for caveat papers with a copy of
the laws governing tho same, hut does not seck to
point out its incorrectness, unless there be seme
glaring defect.
Onr fee for a caveat varies from $10 to $15.
The Governmeat fve is $10.
Who Can Obtain Patents.
In the United States persons of either sex, and
of any age, muy obtain Letters Patent if they are
the first and true inventors—and not otherwise.
All foreigners (except thoso of the Provinces of
Cannda, other than New Brunswick) are entitled
to the same rights and privileges as inventors and
patentees, as our own eitizens.
What Claims can be Patented ?
A knowledge of Ancient and Modern Mechanies and familiarity with American and Forcign
patent issues and rejections, enables ns to determine in a measure in all cascs what can be patented,
and how much can be claimed as new and novel,
and be covered by Letters Patent. This is one of
the most difficult questions encountered by both
old rnd new inventors—one in which an experinever be positively determined except by presenting a formal application for a patent io the Goyernment, embraciag a petition, specification, modcl,
duplicate drawings and payment of the first government fees. _
Confidential Advice.
We invite consultation in person or by mail.
Communications kept inviolately secret, and honenced connsel is of great service—and yet it can.
est and relinble advice given, Onr permanent

to onr strict compliance with our obligations to
inventors.
Advantages of Our Agency.
Inventors on the Pacifie Coast can sign tho papers at onre, and save at least two months’ time in
securiag patents. When desirable, they can visit
and give us personal explanations—better than
written instructions.

general notice of the public throughont the Pacific
Coast hy illustration or description in the eclumns
of the Mining axp Scientipic Press.
From long experience in the business, and an
intelligent and thorough understandiag of the objects and peculiar characteristics of California
inventions, we are able to present cascs more intelligently to the Examiners at Wasbington than any
other agents.
We guarantee inventors against losing their
eases by delay, or the loss of their money in remitting.
Patents for inventors on this coast are finally
secured cheaper through our agency than any
other, however flattering may be the inducements offered at the commencement by others.
Extensive practice gives us great facilities, securing regularity in the transaction of onr business, which extends to EVERY COUNTRY IN
THE WORLD where patent laws exist.

We draw up legal assignments for patentees ;
record assignments in the Patent Office; procure
eopies of United States and forcign patents ; make
examinations here and at Washington regarding
. tle patentability of inventions ; take up and prosecute rejeeted cases, depending upon success for our
fees ; reissues taken out; interferences prosecuted
—in fact, every legitimate branch of the patent
agency business is thoroughly conducted -by us
here and our branch ageacy in Washington.
California inventors should beware of placing
their inventions and money in the hands of per.
sons not well known as honest, responsible and
capable.

Citizens of Toronlo and the NomImon generally, take notice. We have bundreds of tesilmonlals. But yoa need no
furthor evidence than the followlng from one who ls well
known among you. Here 1s his proof positive.
Harry Hazleton, the well known onthor, says:
“Thave always looked opon cheep watches as hombugs,
and deaters In Ihem as little beltcr than swindlers. At the
request of a fricnd, 1 have worn for lhree months, the
watch he purchased of C. E. Collins, and for which he pald
$15. lt keops accurate Ilme, retains Its perfect golden appearance, #21 1 can really sec no difference between it and
my own, which cost five IImes the amonnt of the Collins
Watch.”
Mr. Hazelton adds:
"1 bave slnce purchased FIVE of these watches, al the
request of friends. and those for whom they were Inlendi 4
are pertectly satisfied. Others are seeking for them, and I
fancy that Mr. C, wlll find some dllficulty ln supplying the
constantly lnervasing demand.”
ga-The regular price of the watch Is $15, and othera
costing $20. These are superbly finished, and really superior to any article placed upon Ihe market, costlng five
times thet sum.
