Our Wasteful Boiler Rooms.
rom the Engineering Magazine

The use Of superheated or ad-heated
steam has now extended to all classes OF
steam engines, and these adaptations have
established the now well-known feature,
that economy is obtainable by the ellmina-
ton of saturarion or moisture, and in es-
pecial, that the source of major losses by
cylinder condensation is directly and favor
ably affected by the Introduction of super
heated vapor. In the major number of'in-
stallations, however, 1t would be possible
to produce, by judicious changes effecting
suitable relations of fuel to drafts, to
CRATES and to fues, greater economies than
can be accredited to the mere introduction
of superheat to the steam supply.
The direct and pressing competition of
the gas producer and gas engine has al
ready forced the steam-eng.ne and boiler
combinations to a second place in the rec
ord for economic production of power, and
but for the timely development OF the
steam turbine would have already changed
much of the course of engineering practice.
If steam is to retain its place as a method
of power development, its whole cycle of
operations must come under the definite
and concentrated treatment which has
been accorded mainly, in the past, to one
end of the operation, viz, the steam
cylinder part of the combination.

WILL CUT MR.. BRYAN'S THROAT.

We have called attention to a most
important matter to regular Demo
Gratis in Virginia on one or two previ
Gus occasions, and we take this occsiOn
to do SO again.
We know that dinner was given
Mr.. VIM. j. Bryan at the Hotel
Raleigh in Washington on the Goth of
last mOnth-last week. We have not
a list of those present, the press would
not furnish it., bat we are certain
that no Senator from Virginia Was
there. We are further certain that
very few of our Congressman We're
there. We have no account of any OF
our State officials being present. This
Is very significant. But in the face of
these facts we learn through the press
that Senator Daniel was in Washing
ton very near that time, and on meet
ing Mr.. Bryan in casual w'y in a
hotel lobby, began NEST unusual
and uncalled for attack on him. The
feeling of most of The high Virginia
officials can therefore be inferred from
that incident. 1t now becomes plain
that MIR. Bryan will not have any del.
egates from Virginia to the next Ma.
1ional convention favorable to him it
the present leaders in Virginia can
prevent it. What. therefore, should
the people do? They are for him, and
it is admitted by every well informed
man in the State, as we'll as every jour
nal of note, that the nomination will
20 TO Mr.. Bryan if be wants it. Why
then should Virginia go to that con.
yentiOn with hostile delegation sim
ply to please few disgruntled polite
ians whose effort to turn the popular
tide from Mr.. Bryan has failed SO
signally upon 80 many occasions ?
This should not occur. The people OF
this State should rebuke any such at
tempt, and make the rebuke emphatic
and effectual. Politically speaking the
leaders in Virginia will cut MIR. Bryan's
throat if possible, unless all signs fail.

Mr.. DANIEL AND Mr.. BRYAN.

The newspapers have been telling a
funny story about the Hon. John w.
Daniel meeting the Hon. VIM. J. Bry-
all in the lobby of the New Willard
Hotel in Washington, and Of Mr.. Dan
iel Immediately taking Mr.. Bryan to
task about the st. Louis platform.
The scene, according to the papers,
was made entirely by Mr.. Daniel and
is so unlike that suave Senator We are
slow to credit it. 1t is little late now,
however, to take Mr.. Bryan to task
about the last Democratic platform,
especially when Mr.. Daniel was chair
man of the committee which framed
it, and the report of the committee was
signed by him and was unanimous. A
hotel lobby at a casual meeting was
most unusual place to. begin a public
discussion by great men. especially by
one who could have found opportuni-
ty to say the same things on the floor
of the Senate where his words would
have gone out before the world, and
been recorded as long as this country
CT .inues as nation, as we'll as from
a point where they would have vastly
more weight than If uttered any where
else, 1t reminds US more of the groce-
nv store or crossroads politician than
of a Senator of the United States, and
we have not believed all of it. Mr..
Bryan, however. the report shows,
was never off his feet. He reminded
the Senator of the conditions surround
| ing the making of the platform, thai
Mr.. Daniel was the chairman of the
committee which framed it, and hae
voted for it. He also disclaimed AM
intention of debating to the Democrat
ic party, a thing Mr.. Daniel is said tt
have accused him of doing. Then
when Senator Daniel informed Mr.
BRYAN that he had better not get hl
inspiration too much from the lnde
pendence League, Mr.. Bryan declined
to discuss his sources OF inspiration
aud withdrew. The incident was re
markable, and to those who know MI
Daniel is inexplicable, except on tn
one theory that the facts have beer
misstated. Mr.. Bryan may get hi
inspiration from other sources thai
the Democratic party and Its policies
we don't know. Nor do We know
where Mr.. Daniel got bis inspiration
on this interesting occasion.
