STORING HEAT IN WATER.
Application Of Principle That Was
Brought to Notice in This Coun-
try Some Years Ago.

A London letter to the Iron Age says
that engineers have for many years been
dreaming Of the possibilities of storing
power in hot water, and thus facilitat-
ing the quick generation Of steam. One
application Of the principle was made
in the United States q few years ago.
A locomotive was designed which had
an enormous boiler, that was nothing
more than tank or reservoir, with
cylinder and piston and the usual con-
nections with the driving wheels. Be-
fore the engine was employed to dc
any work, pipe was introduced into
the tank whereby live steam from q
stationary plant was admitted, and the
temperature of the fluid raised con.
siderably above the boiling point
Enough steam would then be generated
in the tank to run the machine several
miles. For some reason the expert
ments made with this locomotive,
though apparently successful, never led
to its adoption by any of the great rail-
way companies.
According to the London letter just
mentioned, somewhat different plan
is being tried at the British capital in
one Of the electric power stations. The
boilers there, which are of the water
tube type. are capable Of generating
steam to 125 pounds pressure at the
rate of 10000 pounds an hour. While
this suffices for most purposes, the de-
mand is now so. great at some times that
the boilers are inadequate and no ground
is available for extension of the plant.
This is problem which besets many
electric light engineers. The period Of
maximum demand is, moreover, so
fluctuating as to be very uneconomical.
Heat storage, ii it could be realized.
might be great advantage.
The arrangement adopted in this Lon
don case is to fit large cylinder YES
sci containing water about the ordinary
steam drum of the boiler. When there
is only normal demand upon the sta
ton some of the steam from the boiler
Is passed into this water storage cylin-
der, with the result that the water Ia
kept at very high temperature, SO that
when the extra demand comes upon the
station this water is fed into the boiler.
which, owing to this hot feed water. can
give $4,000 pounds Of steam an hour.
AN, increase Of Is per, cent. It is said.
that on occasion the evaporation was
actually $4,000 pounds. but Is per cent,
is probably sufficient, especially as
there is no printing. There is no econ
omy in the system; the coal consump-
ton must be increased even at q great
er rate than the evaporation. as there is
considerable loss, through heat radia-
ton from hot water storage tanks. so.
that the system may meet special con-
ditions, but beyond that its practical adj
vantages are not observable. .-

A NEW VARIETY or OATS

bushels of an early white oat called
wisconsin No. ~, which has given ex-
cellent satisfaction in Wisconsin, where
1t was first introduced. Its history is
as follows: M. A. Carleton, cerealist
for the United States government, visit
ID Russia In 1898, and in northern Rus
siashe saw aftype of ats.groNing that
greatly interested him. It's stiH straw,
wide particle and large Kernel showed
It to be desirable quality of oats. He
found on inquiry that it was an early ma
turing oat It came from Sweden. and
was one Of the standard types of north
ern Russia Mr.. Carleton secured 20
bushels for the department Of agri-
culture, listing 1t as No. 2,788. A small
quantity Of this seed was obtained by
the Wisconsin experiment station in
1899 and placed in variety test Of oats.
By careful selection, Prof. Moore, the
station agronomist, has developed
very desirable type Of early soat well
adapted to Wisconsin climate and soil
conditions, and has named it Wiscon-
sin No. 4. It is the most satisfactory
one tested at the university farm. It
invariably yields well, shows stiff
straw-therefore does not easily lodge
has good-sized kernel with light
hull, and weighs usually from 36 to
40 pounds per measured bushel. 1t gen
orally ripens in 80 days from seeding.
It yields from to Is bushels more per
acre than any other variety. Its high
percentage Of meat to hull gives promise
Of good milling oat.

The Use Of Lime on Land.

During the last few years the use Of
lime on land has greatly increased.
This is the result Of investigations as
to the free acid in land Of which lime
is a ne,fralizer. It will pay every
Garner to investigate his land as to
acid. This he can do by planting on
it clover Of almost any variety. in
Guiding sweet clover. If the Plant
grows well there is no great abundance
Of acid, provided nitrogen has not been
applied to ,fertiHze the crop. II: nj
trogen has been applied, the clover will
grow anyway, whether the soil be acid
or not. Thus the test would be OF no
value.-Farmers' Review.

From Vol. v. of Rural Affairs, which

the gist of the directions for making
a hay barrack here given, with the
illustration.
Build the barrack 20 feet square.
Insert four posts Of durable timber,
% feet long, in the ground to depth
of four feet. Stick should square at
least eight inches, corners hewn on.
making it a rough octagon in shape.
Bore one and half-inch hole through
corners Of each post, one foot apart.

johnson Grass in Southwest.

VUu0sV0 0Iass III 0UUIuWeSCs
Johnson grass has become such nui-
sance to farmers in some parts of Texas
that they have been compelled to adopt
legislative measures to eradicate it. A
law has been passed forcing railroads
to keep their right Of way absolutely
free Of it, in order that the grass may not
spread in adjoining fields. The Santa
Fe railroad has engaged the services Of
q professional grass exterminator, and
thus far he has made success of It.
Johnson grass makes good pasture and
good hay, but is a decided nuisance to
the crop raiser, as the more it is plowed
up, the better it seems to grow.

cansesy Ship wfecked.

On May t6 the ship Balclutcha, Capt. P. Bremef, with 100 persons aboard, was wrecked while on her way to Karluk. It was during the dark hours of the night with the usual crew on deck, that the ship ran upon Geese island reef, off the southern end of Kodiak island. A hole was stove in her fore part and she iR,nediately began to fill and sink. The boats were lowered and the passspgeriws safely landed, and had but little difbculty in reaching Karluk. The weather was calm when the accident hap pened and there was no difficulty in using the small boats.
 The ship belonged to the Alaska Packers Association. From here the captain telegraphed the news to the company, and he will ge back to San Francisco on the first steamer. When he left the scene of the wreck an attempt was being made to save the cargo.
