a new idea in boiler construction is the
subject OF the following remarks in The
Journal Of Building: That steam boilers
are subjected to extremely destructive
strains when the furnaces are first started
for raising steam is due to the fact that
those portions of the boiler surrounding
the furnace become highly heated, while
the more remote parts remain for long
time comparatively cool. Hence, there is
uneven expansion of the metals, and the
consequence is that strains are set up in
the boiler, which shorten its life and are
otherwise very prejudicial. To remedy
this Mr.. G. f. Hudson, a naval engineer of
experience, has devised simple, ingenious
system, which has had a successful practi-
cal trial on board merchant vessel. The
arrangement consists in substituting for
the present furnace fronts steam heating
chambers of the same strength as the
boiler These chambers, which do not in
terfere with the CRATE furnace, are at start
ing filled with water from the bottom Of
the boiler, or from any point Of the boiler
where there is no circulation. A small fire
Is lighted in the furnace at first, which
heats the water in the chambers, and by
degrees the remainder of the water in the
boiler becomes heated, and the shell is
gradually warmed, a uniform temperature
being attained. During this period there
Is neither pressure nor steam used, and as
soon as the circulation ceases by reason of
the accumulation Of temperature, the
heaters become auxiliary boilers, assisting
the larger one. As soon as the temperature
has become uniform the fires are hurried
and steam is raised to a working pressure.
The primary work of the heaters being &C
complished, the chambers are used as feed
water heaters. The feed water, instead of
going into the boiler direct, is diverted into
the heaters and becomes heated to tenn
perature of 200 degs Fahrenheit 1t will
thus be seen that the arrangement is that
Of a combined automatic circulator and
feed water heater, which not only does not
rob the boiler of steam, but arrests and
utilities heat which would otherwise be
wasted, or rather worse than wasted, as it
radiates into the stock hole, and in some
circumstances renders it unbearable The
steamship on which the system has been
at work for nearly two years is the Carig-
anshire, vessel of nearly 800 tons The
results of its application are stated by the
engineer in charge to be entirely satisfac-
tory. There has been no trouble whatever
with it, and the temperature in the stoke
hole is found to be reduced by q dogs.
further important point is the fuel

under the rule of a dictator in the

brought about the revolt on Novem-

Waterloo for the Democracy, only

full.
South Dakota elected 3 Republican
Congressman, and the reliable Demo
cratic States of the South did not go
back on their traditions.
Ohio was the only State where the
election had any bearing on the COM
ing national election. In that State,
the Republicans made their campaign
on the high tariff and feeiprocity doc
trine, and the Democrats were for
free coinage OF silver. The Mckinley
tariff appears therefore to have been
endorsed by the great State of Ohio.
The charges of heresy against Rev.

United States and Great Britain, for,
although all the points to be submit
ted to arbitration have been agreed
upon, the method of arbitration is
still a matter open to discussion.
This must be arranged and included
in the terms of the treaty. 1t is be-
lieved by persons in authority that
this remaining point will be ad-
justed before the meeting of the Sem
ate, and that the arbitrators will have
