The Rise in Steam Pressures.

The most prominent condition af
fecting all engines, whether marine,
locomotive or stationary, is a more
general employment of higher steam
pressure. This increase of pressure
has been marked within the last Is or
20 years. In marine practice it has
risen in that time from 60 to I5o
pounds, and in exceptional cases re
Gently it has reached a7o pounds. In
locomotive practice it has increased
from las to nearly 400 pounds. In
stationary practice $50 pounds is not
uncommon, and 200 pounds is occa-
slonally employed, although in that
field 100 pounds is a ruling average.
In the future this average will increase,
as the more general introduction OF
water tube boilers makes it practc-
able, and because it is necessity il
electrical apparatus is to be operated
economically. j. L. Stapwood in
Casters Magazine.

Republicanism In Italy.

The Roman correspondent OF the
Times, who is entirely favorable to the
dynasty of Savoy, reports a great in
crease In Republican feeling through
out the peninsula. Rome itself has re-
turned Republican Deputy, while diff
ferent districts have sent up twenty
seven others. Most Of those who call
themselves Radicals, and, OF course,
all Socialists, are also Republicans.
Italy is, we think, too sensible to
change her form OF government, but
1t seems certain that discomfort is Geep
seated and growing. The alliance with
Germany has brought nothing except
excessive taxation, made more bitter
by suspicious OF corruption in the col
lections; the military prestige of the
monarchy has been impaired by the de-
feat In Abyssinia; there have been no
adequate reforms in Sicily, where the
situation Is deplOrable; and we believe
