are not understood in Washington to re-
fleet the opinions Of the President aud

To prepem Steam from Condensing in
PpeS.-J b. Smith OF Milwaukee, Wis. has
sent us the following plan, which he has adop-
ted to revent the steam from condensing in
the steam pipe Of his engine:-
"The outside of the pipe is covered with
plaster of Paris, of about three-fourths of an
inch in thickness, and this is wrapped round
with canvass"
He has found this plan TO answer admira-
bly,; the heat on the outside is never too hot
for the hand; thus showing that is retained in
side. As pl ster Of Paris is such an excellent
non-conductor, he belieyes-and so do we
that it may be used with advantage for COW
ering steam cylinders the tops OF boilers, as
well as steam pes, and it would save consid-
cradle fuel in many engines, as much heat is
lost by surface radiation, and consequent in
