Locomotives without Fire.

Machines on the above-named pria-
ciplc are now at work GU the tramway
from Rueil To Marty, near Paris, and
with very satisfactory results. The
system in use is one introduced by M.
trancy, an engineer. and is based on
the fact that water boils nj q lower
temperature proportionately ,o the re-
duc,ion Of the atmospheric pressure.
Most Of our readers are aware that al
though water requires n heat of 2l2 de-
grees Fahrenheit To boil at the level Of
the sea, a much lower temperature Is
sufficient Ia produce the same effect on
the top Of n mountain. We will now
explain how that physiological fact Is
practically employed. Into a reservoir
Of thin steel, we cannot call il a boiler,
for IL has neither fireplace nor tire, is
introduced 1900 litres Of water nj a
temperature Of 200 degrees Fahrenheit,
and covered up Theoretically. The
steam it gives of at once fills the SUI
perincumbent space, and produces "A
pressure Of fifteen atmospheres. As
soon rs any of the vapor Is turned on
for moving the machine the pressure
is reduced and the water then begins
% boil, producing q fresh supply Of
steam. OF course that process "a q
but limited extent, As. at the CON
mencement, the liquid only contained
q certain amount of heat, which Is
gradually diminished A. the reproduc-
ton Of steam takes place at lower tenn
pera,ure by the exhaustion Of the ~.
perincumbent pressure. So far q ma.
chine Of this description would be OBJ

IL is better expression than made by any OF the
old tragedians Of what Gloster is. in pages o,

House Lords, OF which Booth, Ia the character Is the
