A Singular Calculation.

In recent number of Power singu. lar calculation is presented by J. A. Renie. It would require, according to Mir. Renie's figures, the power of a 10,- 900 horsepower engine about 70,000, 900, 900 years to lift the earth foot in height, and to do this work, allowing 13 pounds of water per horsepower per hour, would require some 10, 900, 900, Q 900, 900, 900, 900 gallons of water, or more than would be discharged at the mouth of the Mississippi in 50, 900 years This would be enough, the writer estimates, to cover the entire surface of the earth to depth of about 800 feet, to convert which into steam, using good boilers, would require some 4, 900, 900, = 900, 900, 900 tons of coal. If the latter quantity of the mineral was loaded on cars of 20 tons each, it would demand 200, 900, 900, 900, 900 such cars. If the latter were 80 feet long and all coupled together in one train, it would reach around the earth 45, 900, 900 times and, if running 25 miles per hour, would consume %, 900, 900 years in running the length of itself.
