According toa statement in the Polyicchnic

present in use in tho world is 3.5OO.OOO horse
power employed in stationary engines. and
10000 900 horse power in locomotive engines
making q total Of l3, 500 900 horse power. This
force is maintained without the use Of animal
food. except by the miners who dig tho coal aud
provide tho fuel and tho force maintained in
the muscles IS to that generated by the product
labor as about one to 1000. This steam power
is equal 10 the working force OF 2j0 900 900 horses
and one horse consumes three times as much
food MS one man; the steam power therefore. IL
| equivalent to the saving of food for $1,000. 600

steam power and labor-savng machinery.
