Ye shall find babe, wrapped in swaddliDg

though the appe arance of n prince of war

not reformation but revolution which was

must be ascribed all the good now in the

and so we should praise God for the gift of

COMPRESSED AIR.


Facts About Useful Force Regarding
Which Little Is Known.
1t is every year becoming more and more
matter of economy, if not of neceSsity,fo
have power generated in large measure at
some convenient spot, and thence distrib-
uted to points where it is required to do its
work. For the transmission of 1.-The power
belts, cables and other .contrivarces used to
be employed. : AT present this. work is
largely done by electricity, air and water.
While it is probable that electricity villa
swer this purpose best for distances exceed
ing four or five miles,. yet within a less dis
lance compressed air offers some advantages.
The practicapility OF this method has
been demonstrated in the mining region of
Michigan: The largest; air-compressing
plant III the world has been set up here by
the hydraulic Power Company. The Gain
nesec Falls on the Menominee River. furnish
unlimited power. It is at this place that a
drill company of New York erected for the
mining company an air-compresSing plaHt.
consisting of four pairs of compfessors, each
pair being run by its OWN independent tur-
bine wheel: fhe nine,- however, where the
air is utilized, andto which it is conducted
by 24-incb main, is situated three miles
from the comprising plant.
Tie loss of power by this mode of trans
mission IS slight. 1t may result frem fric-
ton along the sides Of the pipes and also
from leakage. AT the HpDsac Tunnel tho
air pfessure at the compressor was sixty
two pounds 70 the square inch; al a distance.
of nearly Two miles UP the tunnel the
pressure Was reduced to sixty pounds while
the drills were in full working.
Aside from the advantages to the users OF
power There are other advantages to the
public from the use of compressed air.. 1t
W ould enable manufacturers to establish
their power plants. outside the Cities thus.
saving to- tile public the annoyance of
smoke and exhaust steam. 1t would sup,
ply, instead of these, large volumes of pure
ar to the parts Of the cities where work
was being done. Again. it has been shown
by Professor Tyndall that the com, ression
air destroys. organic germs which it con-
tains. -
There is curious principle to be kept In
mind while considering TIE agency of COM
pressed air. In its compression the temper
ature will be raised, and when it expands,
as 1t must to do any work, the temperature
will fall. If the air be compressed to as
pounds above ordinary pressure, that is to
60 pounds to the square inch, and then al
lowed to cool down to. co.. Fahrenheit, its
temperature WILL, upon expansion, sink
down to 14o Fahrenheit.
Everything about the air engine would
then be covered with ice from the moisture
OF the atmosphere around. T0guard against
this an extradegree of heat is given the air
at the c0ndensing works by having the sup
ply pipe pass through the furnace-Y outhts
