as follows in a recent patent:
Tie cauStic soda, which is contained in q
reservoir surrounding the steam boiler, is
raised 10 a high initial temperature by means
Of jets Of burning gas or petroleum, thus
evapOrating all moisture from the soda. The
heat from the soda produces steam in the
boiler, which Is applied 70 an ordinary en-
CINE; the exhaust steam from the engine Is
then absorbed by the soda, producing heat
sufficient L generate steam, until the soda
is supercharEei with moisture, when the Jets

Yacht disbursements,

There have been much puzzle and confusion
about the English rule for measuring the
depth Of yachts since the w crack British
cutters have been 50 beaten in two successive
Wears by the Americans The New York Sun
has been at pains 70 hunt up the English rules
and publish them The first measurement Of
hul!s were made in England several hundred
years ago, when coal brought from Newcastle
10 London had 70 pay a tax before il could
enter the city. The tax was 50 many hilings
On each hull or ship. OF course the larger the
ship the less the tax on a buShel Of coal, and
so coal hulks began 70 grow. Then the wise
legislators. 10 head of the coal can iers, de
termined to tax the coal by the ton. To avoid
the necessity Of weighing out the coal atevery
entry they determined 70 establish q Svstem
Of measurement by which the size of a full
cargo could he obtained once for all AMI the
ship taxed at the same figure az every entry.
So a coal hulk was measured
The measures found that her depth was
lust half her breadth Of beam, and ON in
ouiry among ~shipbulders they found that it
was the universal custom 10 build = Us twice
as wide as they were dep, although the pro
portion Of length to width varied. The le.is-
latorS therefore concluded that since the pr
parton Of two 10 one for beam and dsptl

and 10 save their measurers the trouble OF
running = taps line from the beams down 70
the bottom Of the ship they enacted that the
measures should measure the width and

should allow one Ealf the width Very natu-

Under the rule the Galatea Is only about one
