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 a tank or reservoir, with a
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
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 a problem which besets many
electric light engineers. The period of
maximum demand is, moreover, so
fluctuating 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 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 is
kept at a 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. 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 a great
er rate than the evaporation, as there is
considerable loss through heat radia-
+i0n from hot wafer storage tanks 60
that the system may meet special con-
ditions, but beyond that its practical adj
vantages are not observable.

addition it will have about $50 rooms.
When the extension is completed the
whole ediffce, including the works of
art and fittings which it contains, will
have cost very nearly $18,000,000, a
sum much greater than the fathers of
the republic ever imagined would be
necessary for capitol building.
The corner stone of the original cap
itol building was laid on September 5,
1898, with a speech by Washington
and a grand military procession, fol-
lowed by barbecue. The plans Of the
structure were altogether in the hands.
Of President Washington himself and
the site selected was of his own. choice.
The federal government came to
Washington in the year 1900 and on
November the senate and house were
called together for the first time in the
new building, then incomplete
Following the partial burning of the
building by the British, in 1914, Pres
ident Madison was authorized to bor-
row 100000 to restore the structure.
This work was finished and the build
ing pronounced complete in November,
1917 Ten years later the building
was again completed by the addi-
ton of a rotunda and dome.
Thomas u. Walter became connected
with the structure in 1851 and de-
signed the wings, the construction Of
which was inaugurated on the Fourth
of July of that year. The addition of
the wings made new and larger dome
necessary, and this was begun in 1855,
and ten years later the building stood
completed again.
There were many long and heated
debates over the additions, which were
begun in 1851, and Jefferson Davis
prominently participated in the sem
ate. He was In favor of the extern
sions and a capitol building COM
mensurate with the growth of the
country. During one speech he made

The drummer leaned on his left elbow

more agreeable than she had antici-

the room was fitted with the regular

enter into the case.

even a greater building than was con-

In the opinion of Mr.. Walter, the
architect, there still remained neces-
sary engagements of the center of the
structure to match the senate and
house wings and maintain the classic
proportions of the editiee. Since then
many changes have taken place in the
interior. The terraces on the west
were completed, SO that the harmony
was maintained, even though the CEN
ter was not built out. This is now to
be accomplished on the east front, ac-
cording to the plans adopted by the
commission, If congress approves, and
again the national capital will be con-
sidered completed structure.
Mr.. Walter died in 1882, but he had
left his plans for capitols extension in
detail, and the work of the new con-
struction will he carried out faithfully
according to his artistic ideas.
