OXY-ACETYLENE METHODS OF WELDING AND CUT-TING METALS. It has been customary for a number of years to weld the buttjoints of locomotive boiler shells at the ends and other pointswhere they can be reinforced to withstand the pressure, but theidea of welding the joint for its full length, and of obtaining astrength at this point nearly equivalent to the remainder of theand greater than the usual riveted joint, is altogether a newidea on American railways. Such construction, however, hasrecently been made possible by the perfection of a comparativelysimple apparatus for generating pure acetylene gas and pureoxygen and bringing them together in a blow pipe flame,
