In an interesting paper publi.6sI
the Reuue Scaenti6qqle, Prod
Samson compares the steam en1
with the living organism as an
mated motor. He concludes ,ls,
animated motor is more econorl
than the engine if it is asked
which OF the two gives most worl
which gives Ethe kilogram,oe;a1
unit Of work at least cost pri.p
this conclusion applies only to cs,d
which u great expenditure of ,,ml
not required. For instance. in a
where twenty horses can do as wall
a steam engine, it is more ecopoul
to use the horses, and it is all the !
so that less energy is required ii
fifty horses can do the work 0; a n
engine it is better--that is, more g
omical-to have it done by steam
A BALANCED float watermelon
which 50 per cent. efficiency is cla;
is figured and described in a late !
Der of the English Mechauic.
motor consists of two horizonts. ii
placed one above the other, an!
nished each with u pair of Wheels
which pass pair Of chains. Bet7
these, at certain intervals, are ri
floats, which pass down reetans
inclosing casing under the pressa
water upon them, and thus par

tom of this casing, the floats
around the lower pair of pulleye,
uniting the escape of the water,
ascend on the other and open sid
perform the same work over and
again. The principle OF the me'
based on the proposition that wste
no force but it's weight, and thd
ventor argues that the machine v
