to pass wastefully up the chimney. To
quicken speed means to heighten friction
and Jar, and to ask valve motions to do more
than they can do we'll. But where the quest
is not so much for the utmost fuel duty as
for an engine which shall be small, cheap and
fairly economical, there has been within the
past year or two a very interesting return to
the utmost mechanical simplicity.
Era of the steam Turbine.
In the very first attempt to get rotary
motion from steam, tradition has it that
Hero of Alexandria sent steam through bent
tubes very like those of the twirling jets of
a common ornamental fountain. Reyerting
to this ancient line of attack, and with the
curves of the best water wheels before them,
inventors have devised steam turbines of
remarkable efficiency. In rigorous test
last December at an electric light station in
Newcastle-on-Tyne. England, a Parsons
steam turbine of 1874 horse power, arranged
for condensation, consumed but 27.6 pounds
of steam, requiring three pounds of the best
coal, per horse power per hour. This per-
formance compares favorably with that of
good engines of the usual kind, although not
with engines of multiple expansion. The
steam used during the test had ,95 pounds
pressure; at higher pressures better results
are to be had.

experimental development Even If, when
perfected, it should demand more fuel than
its familiar rivals, its small first cost, its
simplicity and lightness, its freedom from
vibration, and small friction may make it
the cheapest steam motor In the end For
the engineers aim is not so much to reduce
the consumption of his fuel as to bring. down
the total cost Of power, of which fuel 1s but
one item, to the lowest possible point.

TRIPLE EXPANSION ENGINE.

impure. In locomotives and other nom
condensing engines even the least impure
waters deposit scale. This scale is so poor
q conductor of heat that film of it only
one-sixteenth of an inch thick may deduct
as much as one-eighth from a boilers eff
cheney. With surface condensation no such
loss need occur, and all necessity for scale
solvents ceases, the same clear water being
returned to the boiler and used over and
over again.
The surface condensers of the Majestic
and Teutonic each contain 20 miles of brass
tubing seven-eighths of an inch in diameter.
Through this labyrinth 1000 tons of sea
water pour every hour to liquefy the
engines exhaust steam. 1t is in warming
streams, great or small such as this that
most of the heat of condensing engine is
wasted; that is, wasted so far as any value as
source OF power is concerned. Its utiliza-
tion has been attempted more than once.
The Westinghouse Engine.
OF high-speed engines, very notable
model is that invented by Herman Westing-
house; it has two cylinders, in each of which
the steam acts against but one side of the
piston. As the strain of reversal attending
double action pistons is thus avoided, as
well as the Jar which follows upon the
ordinary wear of such pistons and their con-
nections, an extraordinary pace is reached by
these engines.
Is it likely that the most econ omical en-
gines of to-day will be much improved in
time coming? The men best qualified to say,
men such as Prot. Thurstoh, of Cornell,
doubt it. Expansion has about reached its
effective bounds, and prexsures cannot be
much increased with profit. AS pressures
rise so must rise the temperature of the
boiler, and of the gases cast out beneath it

A Doctor Stands Up for Adams Ale In
the City of Lager Beer.
A New York gentleman, recently in st.
Louis, got himself interviewed on his re-
turn home, and stated that st. Louis drink
ing water was SO filthy that everybody was
compelled to drink intoxicating liquor,
while most people drank to excess from
pure necessity, says DR.. Milton N. Berry,
of st. Louis, in the Glo5e-Denocrat of that
city. This gentleman must have contented
himself with looking at muddy glass of
water without tasting it, or he would have
found out that st. Louis water is really
more palatable before filtration than after,
and if he had taken the trouble to make in
quiry among the physicians he would have
found that there is nothing in our unfltered
water Objectionable or hurtfuL
1t is not every filter that will do its
work with our water, but there are several
that will purify it thoroughly, yet the sale
of flterers in the city is not so large as in
many other places where the drinking water
looks much clearer and more pleasant, for
the simple reason that most people prefer it
as it comes through the pipes. The New
York gentleman, if he ever said what was
attributed to him, stands convicted of either
ignornace or mendacity, or perhaps little Of
both.

when the fire was put inside the boiler, first
In one fiue in the Cornish type, and then In

hues were better than one be-
cause they extended the surface at
which fame could do work, would it not be
better yet to multiply the two into scores?
Flues were accordingly reduced to the di-
mensions of tubes in boilers of the locomo-
tive type with excellent results. With tins
benefit, however there came serious
drawback. SCOT and ashes are apt to gather
inside fire tube and seriously interfere
with its heating power. The remedy for
this is ingenious enough; the tubes, IN
clined in position, are filed with water In
stead of fire, and put in the hottest part OF
the furnace. Of course, SCOT and ashes may
collect upon them there, but never to SO
formidable degree as within the body OF
fire tubes, and always so as to be more
easily removed. The water tubes are con-
nected with boiler, reduced in size, which
serves as a reservoir for both water ana
steam.
Secret OF the Noruood's Power.
The extraordinary pace of the yacht Nor.
wood is to be set down to the account OF
water tubes so curved as to raise steam with
great rapidity.

stead of wrought iron. Tubes 4 inches in
diameter and but "A inch in thickness safely
bear a pressure of 800 to 400 pounds to the
square inch; this while a boiler she'll 80
inches in diameter must be thrice as thick
to Withstand the pressure. Now that
armor-plste tests have shown how much
steel can be increased in tenacity by alloy
ing it with nickel the way opens for
further thinning of boilers and tubes with
new effectiveness for their fuel.
With very high pressure steam raised in
due quantity, the engineers next thought is
its fortune in the cylinder Here he fully
avails himself of the vapor's expansive
force: he permits but one-twelfth or, one
fifteenth of the cylinder to be filled with
steam when communication with the boiler
is cut off During the remainder of the pis-
toms stroke it is urged solely by the steam's
elacticity. In this act of expansion some
thing very important happens. We know
that the mechanical power Of the moving
piston could give us q certain quantity OF
heat were it employed in rubbing two metal
plates together Precisely this much heat
disappears from the steam as it expands be-
hind the piston. The proportion which
this amount bears to the steam's total hest
serves to mark the degree OF the engines

Figuring on the Efficiency.
Supposing it to be 10 per cent, then 10
per cent of the furnaces effective heat dis

piston and the next. Cylinder and piston,

dried leaves in her mouth, gradually
covered them entirely from view.
Leaving the Little Ones Alone.
This operation ended. she withdrew few
steps to examine the result Of her labor.
She was probably satisfied, for after having
gone close to her children and given them
some final injunction, she disappeared in
glade of the neighboring forest. The little
ones were motionless under their covering
of leaves; nobody could have suspected
that a whole family of mice was hidden
away there.
About ten minutes later the mother re-
turned, and then understood her absence,
which had puzzled me. She carried in her
mouth nut from which the shell had
already been gnawed off, Probably this
preparation had been made by the male as
good father of family,
Again heard the cry which I had noticed
before. Immediately the covering of leaves
fell into ruin, and the little fellows ran
about their mother. They seemed to know
that dinner time had come.

teeth and paws were doing their part, the
