The Steam Loop. Which Is an Appliance
for Returning TO Steam Boiler the
Condensed Water from Steam Pipes,
Jackets, Heating Coils, Etc.
The steam loop here illustrated is a
striking piece of apparatus, since it will
return water to boiler situated at high
level without the Intervention of pumps,
iniectors or other motors Engineering
gives the following illustrated description:
The water simply flows back just as If it
were under the action Of gravity, the only
means of communication being range OF
pipes. The action will be readily under
stood by reference to the annexed diagram,
which shows a steam boiler connected by
a steam pipe from the dome (A) to steam
engine OBJ Immediately in front OF the en-
CINE is fixed a separator, which catches the
water carried over by the steam, as well as
that which condenses in the pipe. From
the bottom Of the separator there rises a
pipe until it attains a considerable eleva-
zion above the water line of the boiler; it
then proceeds horizontally, and finally
descends and enters the boiler at D.
The water from the separator follows the
course of the pipe, and flows into the boil
ct at a higher level than the separator
The reason of this will be readily seen. The
steam pipe and the steam loop are both

judicial Chairs.

We read that among courtesies current
in the Middle Ages feudal barons were
made noticeably prominent, in that rights
and Jurisdictions accorded to them under
the crown insured TO them difference and
respect" One Of these privileges was Ito
erect canopy, embroidered with ar1norial
bearings, over the chairs in which they sat
when they administered justice or occupied
at ceremonial dinners"
The cloth of state" as such a csuopv
was called, is not wholly lost relic, aud
A. a curiosity OF the long ago may be seen
with other rich awnings in throne rooms
OF royal palaces.
A parallel back and projecting roof
sometimes took the place of the canopy,
and far more comfortable was such an
arrangement, and highly gratifying to
madam the baroness, since BY the change
making room for two she could share the
honors accorded TO her Gege lord Il was
also so occupied at meal times, whereby
the noble house mother could receive her
quota Of difference and respect"
From these ancient forms" was evolved

venient settle, which many Of Us have
observed on stoops or piazzas Of country
inns, or on the versndas Of well built farm.
