Heating by Steam.

The art of heating buildings by steam
has progressed SO rapidly during the
past ten years that there are now three
distinct systems well developed, all per-
forming the same kind of service, but
doing it under conditions that vary ma
terially The oldest and most widely
known of these Is the gravity system,
so called for the reason that the steam
generated In the boiler rises up to the
radiators, and, as 1t Is condensed, the
resulting water Is returned to the
boiler by gravitation, no appliance
other than the return pipe, being used
for this purpose.
The next is what may be called the
mechanical system, as mechanical
means are frequently applied to re-
duce the pressure of the steam In the
system from that carried in the boiler,
and mechanical appliances are always
used to return the water of condensa-
ton from the return pipes of the system
back to the boiler. These may be In
the shape of an automatic steam trap,
or pump and governor, as may best
suit the conditions The third Is the
exhaust steam system, in which the
heating is done by steam that has been

An Ideal Kitchen.

The electrical k.tchen is not only adj
mlrable, says Ains.ee's Magazine, it is
ideal in its application of heat. 1t does
not steal oxygen; it does not foul the
air. 1t is steady; it can be directed to
the top, bottom and sides of the thing
to be cooked, for it does not depend
upon the combustion of fuel or the con
nection of hot air, but upon the resist
ance of iron to elec trical current. In
stead of having to plan SO that the
cooking be done when the fire is in the
range, the electrical kitchen is ready at
any hour of the day or night to bake or
broil, set the stewpan to sizzling or the
hot water urn to bubbling, to brew the
) o'clock tea; to temper the chill of the
square bed or warm the toes under the
desk; to heat the curling iron or the
smoothing iron, all these appliances
being connected by flexible wire cord
to socket in the wall whence comes
the energy. 1t is an eXemplfication Of
the wholesale principle; instead of a
thousand chimneys smoking at ire
mendous sacrifice of coal, there need
be but one big fire, whose heat is turned
into motion, that into electricity, and
that, in turn, hack to heat again.

in lanterns all over the world. There
are no lanterns made nowadays for
candles only, but there are exported to
South America some lanterns made so
that either candles or oil may be burned
in them. These are provided with a
candle socket, which may be set down
into the Oil reservoir, the wick holder
having been removed. BY removing
the candle socket and screwing in the
wick holder the lantern is made ready
to burn oil. Excepting railroad and
other lanterns for special uses, substan-
are of the kind known as tubular, first
introduced about thirty years ago, and
now made in various notifications as

ducing better combustion and n bright

airy uses are produced in about forty
styles.

Der of students at the Princeton semi

there had been no falling off in the at
tendance at the union theological semi

conspicuous and where liberality of
