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 few years ago.
A locomotive was designed which had
an enormous boiler, that was nothing
more than tank or reservoir, with Q
cylinder and piston and the usual con-
nections with the driving wheels. Be-
fore the engine was employed to do
any work, pipe was introduced into
the tank whereby live steam from a
stationary plant was admitted, and the
temperature Of the fluid raised con-
siderably above the boiling point
Enough steam would then be generated
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
fuctuating as to be very uneconomical.
Heat storage, If it could be realized,
might be a great advantage.
The arrangement adopted in this Lon
don case is to fit a large cylinder ves-
sci containing water about the ordinary
steam drum of the boiler. When there
Is only normal demand upon the sta
.tion some of the steam from the boiler
is passed into this water storage cylin-
der, with the result that the water is
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 25 per cent. 1t 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 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 ad-
vantages are not observable.

STABILITY OF MOUNTAINS.
Scientific Measurements for the Infor-

At the recent gathering Of the Asso-

graph, in favor of international coop

with the view of ascertaining whether
such chains are stable, or are undergo
ing movements of deviation or depres-
sion" Another proposal aimed to Sc
cure measurements of the value OF
gravity, with the object, so far as geo.
logical questions are concerned, of
throwing light on the internal distribu-
ton of masses in the earth and on the
rigidity or isostasy of the terrestrial
crust. These problems call for minute
and rigorous observation. In this way
it is believed to have been proved that
the land about the city of New York
has been subsiding since 1875 at the
rate of about Las feet (nearly 171s
inches) per century. Posterity 1000
or 10000 years hence will have right
to know not merely how high Etna or
Vesuvius was in 1904, but what were
the elevation and appearance of Beachy
Head; how much the old rock has lost
by waste of the sea at its foot, or by
denuding rains on its summit and
TANKS; or how much it may have
gained by uplifting forces. They will
know these things in 1904, just as they
will know how the stars and nebulae
are distributed in our skies, and the
knowledge will be very helpful to the
future astronomers and biologists. In
these matters photography, as the
handmade of research, can render east

in the middle of her parlor floor front

"Why don't you sell them?" said
the new boarder who was the cause Of

certain responsibility for them.
"Sell them!" repeated the landlady,
scornfully. why, my dear lady, you
can't sell beas nowadays. Everybody

wire couches in their rooms so they
can cover them up with a rug and a
few sofa cushions and make them look

"Bless you, yes" replied the land

fully at the woven wire couch.
But nowadays they amt content

You can hardly rent room with a

OF others to-day; thought I could not
live without drinking strong coffee
every morning for breakfast and l had
sick headaches that kept me in bed
several days every month. Could hard

would vomit as long as could throw
anything up and when could Let hot
coffee to stay on my stomach I thought
I was better.

and hands yellow as a pumpkin. My
doctor said it was heart disease and
rheumatism and my neighbors said
had Bright's Disease and was going to
die.
well, 1 did not know what on earth
was the matter and every morning
would drag myself out of bed and go
to breakfast, not to eat anything, but
to force down some more coffee. Then
in a little while would be so nervous,
my heart would beat like everything
Finally one morning told my hus-

of this trouble and that I thought I
would try Postum, which I had seen adj

it at first l got right down to business

CONVlCTS IDLE
Injunction Adds to Effective
ness of Illinois Act Pre-
venting Work in Prison
ALL TOLL PROHIBITED
Criminals Cannot Even Be
Employed at Tasks for
Benefit of the State
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, July 2.-Prison reform
ers and alienists as well as peace off,
GERS throughout the country are
watching with interest for the results
following an injunction prohibiting,
temporarily at least, all work in the
Illinois State prisons which is in di-
rect competition with free labor. The
State law preventing prison contract
labor became effective yesterday, but
on top of that has been placed an in
junction issued by Judge Humphrey
of the Federal court at Springfield
which restrains the expenditure of
State funds to make operative the sys-
tenn by which convicts may work for
the State.
AS result of the State law, supple
mented by the court order, nearly
$500 convicts in the penitentiaries at
Joliet and Chester and the reforma-
tory at Pontiac are idle. The injunc-
ton was procured by Attorney Levy
Mayer in behalf of several clients. one
of whom is a nonresident of Illinois.
This was done to give the Federal
court jurisdiction. and it is said that
persons who have held prison con-
tracts are behind the action, The
trade unions influenced the passage
of the law which has stopped contract
labor in the penal institutions of Illi-
nois.
DR.. James G. Herman who is famil-
lar with the conduct of prisons and
asylums in America and Europe, to-
day said:
THE inevitable result the world
over of idleness in prison has been an
increase of outbreaks against disci-
pline. an increase of insane cases and
increase in victims of tuberculosis
