Itiiizing Waste Heat.

One OF the fayoTite schemes of inventors
is to utilize the waste heat from boiler fur
mace chimneys before it leaves the Chin
ney. Inasmuch as the heat OF the gases
must at least equal the temperature of the
steam in the boiler we can only consider
such to be waste heat which corresponds to
the excess of the temperature of the gases
above that Of the steam. In boilers prop
erlv set, Will! proper chimney and fue pro-
portions and working with economy, this
excess of temperature is properly measured
by 800 Fair. Since the efficiency of good
boilers equals almost 20 per cent, and this
implies, besides other losses, the escape Of
gases at say 1909 Fair, it becomes at once
apparent that reduction Of this tempera
ture TO say 500 tahr., Tor instance. by alb
stracting the so Fair for heating exhaust
steam. cannot signify q very great saving.
Still, ii is the most common thing to hear
of the placing of devices, such as coils OF
pipe through which exhaust steam travels,
over the top of the boiler to utilize these
500 of heat, and marvellous economy is
claimed as the result. Considering the fact
that many boiler manufacturers have begun
to doubt the efficiency of the return of the
gases (0f reduced temperature after passing
through the tubes over the top of the
boiler, it is scarcely probably that there IS
much economy in not only doing this, but
allowing in addition sufficient space for the
refrigerating coils of pipe. These latter, it
is true, may abstract some heat from the
gases, but since they obstruct and cause
FRACTIONAL eddies their employment neces-
states not only larger Aue, bat also
greater chimney area. On the whole,
lit is exceedingly doubtful if the
use of coils for heating exhaust steam in
this way contributes to true economy and
is good practice when the chimney is prop
crly proportional Of course where the
gases pass off at much higher than normal
temperature, and the chimneys have been
built larger than necessary or desirable,
such expcdients may contribute 70 cHOnOmi-
cal working, though as q rule correction of
the blunder proves the most effective rene
dy. A similar plan of extending the rear
end Of the boiler Of locomotives 10 accom-
modate coils containing feedwater has been
proposed recently, but the obstruction
proved SO great as to Di"ke the attainment
of proper draft very doubtful. \ further
objection 20 this class of devices is that in
a short time the carbOn&ceous deposits on
the coils make the heaters themselves as
such Ineffective American Engineer.

How TO CArcH SHARBs.-The sharks
which abound on the east coast Of NADIA

tons upon the cattle in course of shipment,
are occasionally captured by the people
The young men sometimes 90 on shark
hunting expedition. Having discovered a
shark they dive under it, and, before it has
time to turn on its back. use the long sharp
knife they carry. 1t is affirmed among the
Malagdsv that some of their people can go
into the water on discovering shark, and,
with nothing in hand but piece Of stick
about a foot III length, armed with an iron
point at each end, can accomplish its de

just about TO attack him with It's wide-eX-

pointed stick seizes his opportunity, and
inserts his hand into the mouth Of the
creature and transtiXes its jaws by implant-
ing the stick croSs-wise in its mouth. The
more the shark tries by swapping to Olsen

Curiosities of American History.

American political history is full OF curl
osities and singular incidents. For in
stance, three of our Presidents, all ofwhom
participated in the Revolution, died on its
great anniversary, the Fourth of July, viz. :
John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James
Monroe. General Washington, when he
retired from the Presidency, was in the
66th year of his age. His successor, John
Adams, when he left. was 66 years old.
After him, Thomas Jefferson, James Madi-
son and James Monroe. Mr. Jefferson was
G6, James Madison had just passed his Goth
wear, and Mr.. Monroe was in his 67th year
when they respectively left the Presidential
chair. General Harrison WIS g. years old
when he was elected, and died in the Presi-
dental Office. From 1901 TO 1925 the Pres
idential Office was filled by Nirginians.
During the same interval, with the eXcep-
ton of four years, the Presidential
Office was held by citizens of New York
John Adams negotiated the treaty of peace
that concluded the war of the Revolution
with England. His son. John Quincy Ad-
ans, was q leading envoy, and negotiated
the treaty which ended the second war
with England, in 1914. His son, Charles
Francis Adams, at the third crisis of our
history, was the Minister to England dur
ing the recent war, from 1861 10 1863 the
period which covers shc Alabama claims,
out of which another war was altogether
possible with the mother country. In 1900
John Adams was on leading Presidential
ticket Twenty -tuur years from thtst time,
Charles Francis Adams, John Quincy's
son, was an important candidate for Vice
President, with contingent Presidential sue
cess. OF the first six Presidents four Of
them We're taken from the office of Score
tary of State; and the other two being the
first elected could not perform its duties
From this fact arose the precedence that
makes lie Secretary of State the first officer
in the Cabinet, instead Of the Secretary of
the Treasury, which is the case in Great
Britain. No less than five of the greatest
American statesmen were born in the same
year u.s.: Daniel Webster, John c. Cal
