The Mining and Scientific Press. 313 New Publications, 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.

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.” Within . H > .\ Bd " ona ad Lees! an eO=a UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN DEW LY PUBLISHERS MINING AND SCIENTIFIC PRESS, eo 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 business itierests gurantee, and the thousands ou this coast who live consitlte us will testify, to onr strict compliance with our obligations to inventors.

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.
