STEAM ANDuor wATERHANDY.
How Both Can he Supplied with Ease
and Safety.


The Washington Heat and Power Com
pany yesterday gave an exhibition at their
works in the alley in rear OF ID street, be-
tween Ninth and Tenth streets, OF what
they can do in supplying houses, iops,
stores, &C., with heat and steam power.
The works were visited by large number
oil prominent citizens, who were surprised
at the simple arrangements Of the ma
chimes. A test was made through thou
sand feet Of pipe, and the hot water on its
return registered at the same temperature
as when IL left the boilers. Two large
Zell patent steel boilers are used in heating
the water. Each OF them is of 1876 horse
power, and they have a capacity Of heating
AGO houses Of ten rooms each. A practical
test OF using the steam and hot water for
cooking and heating purposes was also
made. A steam chest was used in steaming
oysters, while an oven, surrounded with
coils, was made to roast beef I'm q short
space Of time. There are three pipes which
conduct the hot water to the houses, return
II TO the works, and take of the exhaust.
The whole system can be used for all pur-
poses where steam is needed. The steam
and hot water gauge which Is placed In
every customers house registers the amount
uted In the same way that gas meter regis
ters gas. The pipes through which the hot
water, heated to 400 degrees, passes are tested
to $50 pounds to the square inch, with q
working pressure Of 300 pounds Dry
steam is generated In cy Under or converter,
in eize and make like n small gas meter,
which is placed in the cellar OF the house.
The steam is easily applied, and there Is
perfect safety about IT, Tue officers OF the
company are W. II. Hoeke, president; sam
