has studied and practised In this branch of engineering
for forty yearn, and be says of the siesmaingine that It
remains to this day without any change in its Wiwi* of
action, and even without any striking improvement In its
details, since Watt left it It is, he says, a most wasteful
machine, making available a. mechanical power only
about m-tenth of the force of the heat of the fuel burnt,
and he believes it is no the eve of superosedon by tempter
and more economical achines It hi as a heat-engine that
we mug consider the qualities and performance of the
strain-angine, and in any heat-enaina than most be tw•
temperatures, that of the substance applied to the machine
and that of its results when it leaves the machine The
main source of the lose of power in the steam-engine r the
comparatively low temperature of the water in the boiler.
Mr Bourne gives an instance of the inadequacy of the
Itte.W-00e1SO t• yield much of the power to be derived
from the hest of the fuel, that while the temperature of a
furnace may be 3,000. that of the boiler may be but MO*,
and that of the conderaor 100. ; thus the extremes of
temperature In the engine are but little removed from
each other, and consequently but little of the heat is
transformed into mechanical power. Nevertheless., says
Mr. Bourne, the 'team-engine is the cheapest and mast
effective therrnO-dynalaie motor that can be obtained.—
