The Power of Steam.
Boston Commonwealth.
The following interesting figures ara
taken from report of the bureau of
statistics in Berlin. Four-ffths of the
engines now working in the world have
been constructed in the last twenty-five
years. The force equivalent to the work.
ing steam engines represents in tho
United States $500, 900 horse power; III
England, 100000 horse power,
in Germany, 100000; in France,
5000, 900: in Austria, 1,5OO, 900.
In these the motive power
OF the locomotive is not included, whose
number in all the world amounts to 1861
600 and represents a total of 1000, OOs
horse power, Adding this amount to
the other figures, we obtain the total OF
$4,000, 600 horse power. A steam horse
power is equal to three actual horses:
a living horses equal to seven men,
The steam engines to-day represent iL
the world approximately the work Of
,OOO,OOO,OOO men, or more than doublS
the working population of the eartht
whose total population amounts I'd
1,455, 923 600 inhabitants.
