SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

In the novel steam-generator of
Mr.. Henry Brady, an Australian
inventor, the water tubes to the
numb needed are bored length
wise through fiat copper blocks
three inches or more thick, the
ends of the holes being connected
by semi-oircular bends 30 as to
form a continuous tube from one
side of the block to the other. The
blocks are 80 arranged that the
hot gasses from the furnace pass
around the lower one beneath
second, and around this beneath a
similar series of tubes in the cast
iron top of the boiler. The water
is fed into the iron tube, where it
becomes heated, then it passes
SUCCESSFULLY through the top and
bottom series of copper tubes, and
enters a receiver as steam under a
pressure of 100 pounds or more. 1t
is claimed that, for the same power,
this generator occupies only a
tenth of the space of multitubu-
lar boiler and is only fourth as
heavy, while it cannot be exploded,
is self cleaning, and it can be
heated to l00-horse power capacity
in ten minutes.

CONGRESSMAN SIBLEY, of Penn
sylvania, is either very stupid or
is a knave, says the Pueblo Chief
tain. In the house of representa-
tives yesterday he made speech
in opposition to the construction
of irrigation works for the arid
lands, it which he deliberately
stated the falsehood that the peo-
pie would be taxed for this pur-
pose. He was of course promptly
called down by western mem bers,
who reminded him that by the
terms of the bill the money to pay
for irrigation improvements is to
come from the sale of the lands to
be benefited, 30 that the dear peo-
pile are not to be called on to pay
anything, except those who wish
to buy good land under government
reservoirs. But Sibley's asinine
plant is a sample of the thick
headed eastern objections to west
srn benefits of any kind. Doubt
less Sibley, with the rest of them,
sits as immovable as any other
mud turtle, while millions of the
money for which the people are
really taxed is thrown into rivers
and har bors from which it never
comes back.
