TRADE NOTES. Mr. T. L. Lyman, manager of the asbestos department of H. W. Johns-Manville Co., New York, sailed Dec. 20 for Havana, Cuba, where he will remain about two weeks for the benefit of his health. "Sanders" is the title of a catalogue issued by the J. A. Fay & Egan Co., of Cincinnati. The cover is red embossed in gold. It is an extremely well printed catalogue and is full of information about sandpapering machines. Riggs & Bros., 310. Market street, Philadelphia, have issued their nautical almanac for 1903, which is a compendium of in- formation regardine tides and the phases of the moon. It also contains navigable aids on the Delaware river and bay, and the international rules to prevent collisions at sea. The Cleveland Punch & Shear Works Co. secured an order this week from the Great Lakes i.ngineerino Works, Detroit, for Cleveland tools to be installed in their new plant. The con- tract calls for twenty-eight machines, consisting of punches, shears, rolls, plate planers, radial drills, etc. 'The amount of the order aggregates about $50,000 and is one of the largest contracts awarded this year in this line. The artistic use of paint," says Emersoon, "distinguishes the homes of civilization from the huts of the savage." The Goheen Manufacturing Co. of Canton, O., has issued a catalogue devoted to galvanum, a paint that will adhere to galvanized iron. Galvanum is made in two colors only, dark lead cclor and stone drab. Any good ordinary paint can be used over Galvanum where the colors are not suitable, and it is claimed that one gallon of galvanum will cover 550 sq. ft. of surface. The catalogue contcins a very creditable photograph of Andrew Carnegie's New York house, in which galvanum is used on gal- vanized work. : Referring tothe advantages of Smooth-On gaskets, the man- ufacturers sav: "A Smooth-on gasket connection may take a little longer time to make, than when using an ordinary steam packing, but when once made it will be more. durable and seems to im- prove with age. Difficult flanged connections can be easily made with Smooth-On as it is applied in a plastic state and adapts itself to the flanged faces whether parallel or not. For high temperature and high pressure work its value is clearly evident. It has been tested to 1,500° Fahr. and withstood 4co lbs. steam pressure without iniury. Smooth-On when hard expands and contracts the same as iron, keeping the joint tight at all tempera- tures, and it will withstand steam, water, fire or oil. A sixty- page illustrated book giving further information on this subject, will be sent free. The cements are packed in 5, 10 and 25-lb. MARINE REVIEW AND MARINE RECORD. [Dec. 25, tins.' The address of the company is 572-574 Communipaw avenue, Jersey City, N. J. : President J. W. Duntley of the Chicago Pneumatic Teol Co. arrived in Chicago a few days ago after an extended business trip in Europe. In regard to the work accomplished by the de- tail of skilled mechanics who were sent abroad a few months ago to introduce pneumatic tools in Europe, Mr. Duntley says they are meeting with success everywhere, but especially in the for- eign ship yards. While he was in Europe the men were devoting their attention to the ship yards of Germany and had visited seven of them. He has received requests to send these men to France, Spain and Italy and intends doing so in the near future. The German emperor evinced considerable interest in the exhibitions made in the German yards, having personally inspected the work on several occasions. A special object of Mr. Duntley's trip was to arrange for the erection of another European plant for the manufacture of pneumatic machinery. The new works are to be erected at Fraserburg in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and will cost approximately $175,000. The necessary machinery will be purchased in this country. This is in addition to two large fac- tories already in operation in Europe. Mr. Duntley also made arrangements with a large German factory to make his com- pany's tools on contract. BIG ORDER FOR ANCHOR CHAIN.

They will each be 600 ft. long, 73 ft. longer than the New York or Paris. This chain is the second largest to be manufactured in this country, the Lebanon works has just finished tne making of the largest chain ever manufactured in this country--the 3 3/16- in. stud link cable of 3 3/16 in. for the Eastern Ship Building Co., New London, Conn. The 3%-in. chain consists of 660 fathoms weighing approximately 560 lbs. to the fathom. The length is the same as that required for the ships building'at New London.
