GREAT DAY, THIsl.

This is a great day in the United
States.
The flower of the American navy
leaves the Golden Gate for its trip
around the world, an eight months
tour over FIVE Of the seven seas, to
carry the message of goodwill and
peace to all men. There are those
who deem this great voyage piece
Of national braggadocia, a tentative
insult TO every nation that shall be
visited, and an extravagant attempt
at bluff on the high seas, but such
people are few, thanks bel. The coun-
try in general looks to the feet to
spread the gospel of friendliness and
harmony everywhere and it will do
it if it is permitted by those whom it
shall visit.
The Democratic National Conven-
ton will meet in Denver this day to
get ready for its quadrennial knock
out at the American polls. This is a
serious matter always, and might be
dispensed with were it not for the
trditional cleaving Of the "old guard"
to its broken idols; and then again
it serves as an outing for a host Of
good fellows tht need the relexation
and the excitement OF the journey
and the old-time touch Of civic action.
The country looks on with good
natured tolerance and rather enjoys
the typical sham of it all, knowing
that the end will be as it always is
and may not be else SO long as the
once formidable party is without man
and issue wherewith to win out. II
is sad, of course, but apparently in
evitable,

THE READING AMERICAN.

The public school OF America is
responsible for the reading Ameri-
can.
He is everywhere, and up-to-date;
his paper, his magazine, his library
are simply indispensable to him,
while the telegraph, wire and wireless,
keep him in touch with the world on
the current history of the day.
1t is one of the best signs we have
of national stability and readiness.
Great emergencies are met all over
the land with communal understand
ing and appreciation that save days
and weeks of coaching and prepara-
ton, and drilling for action, The
country is never asleep; the Presi-
dent, the Governor, the Mayor, al
ways find the people on the spot
when they are wanted for high pur-
poses, and thousands Of them equip
ped for leadership.
No country in the world has as
many readers of the daily news as
the United Sites; if there are classes
in this country, there is paper for
each, ad all are studied avidly; the
nation is never without a working
knowledge of the great events trans
piring, or to transpire. From Astoria
to the keys Of Floradi and from the
St. Croix to San Diego it is the same
and the common school is at the bot
tom of it. 1t is splendid equipment
and the country at large appre-
ciates it.

Utilizing Waste Steam

While in the past amid untold
wealth OF natural resources, America
has been wasteful and extravagant,
the inventions which bring the great.
est premiums to-day are those which
utilize waste material and power, De
mand for better and cheaper power
is increasing every day and happily
the inventors are just about keeping
pace with the demands by continue
ally discovering ways and means to
supply additional electrical power
without adding 10 the cost,
The steam engine is the most ex-
travagant imaginable TO transfer coal
energy into mechanical energy Not
only does il require millions OF tons
OF coal to keep il supplied with steam
but ii cannot use a large percentage
of the steam power, The power of
steam is produced by expansion and
the best steam engines waste con-
siderable OF this power in the exhaust
With the engine operating under $50
pounds steam pressure and exhaust
ing at about 80 pounds pressure, half
the power is wasted. II was 20 rem
edy this reject that the compound
engine was produced which uses the
steam twice at a wonderful economy.
That is, the steam which left the first
cylinder at about 80 pounds pressure
was carried to another and larger
cylinder and used over again, extract
ing considerable OF the power form.
erly going to waste, The first eylin-
der OF the compound engine is small
owing to the high steam pressure but
as the steam expands to greater
volume the second cylinder, operat
ing at low pressure, is necessarily

CINE, which takes up lot Of room,
does not get all the power out Of the
expanding steam and the loss still
reaches alarming proportions,
The development OF the steam tur-
bine few years ago was long step
towards cheaper power. This is
especially true where the turbine is
used for the generation OF electric
ity in central stations, power houses
and the like Electricity soon dem
onstrated its superiority over all
other forms OF power in manufactur
ing, and years ago industrial plants
began to utilize their steam engines
to drive generators in the power
house while all the machinery was
driven by electric motors. This plan
did away with rope and belt drives,
shafting and consequent loss OF

power through friction, The turbine
soon proved that il utilized more OF
the steam energy and gave more
power ior the same amount Of fuel
and attention than the old type Of
steam engines,
Figures show that steam eXpend-
ing from IS to us pounds pressure
does almost as much work as from
l20 to 90 pounds, An expansion OF
from two pounds TO one pound is
capable ot nearly as much work as
the expansion oi the same weight oi
steam IRON 200 10 100 pounds. Under
high pressure the steam does more
work per square inch but the volume
is small; under low pressure il does
less work per square inch but the
volume is SO large and covers so
many square inches that it does prac.
,ically the same amount ol work, pros
vidng there Is working surface
enough TO use this low pressure en-.
ergy.
During the last few months q new
type Of Curtis steam turbine has been
developed which is designed TO be
operated under low steam pressure
This type OF turbine uses exhaust
steam just as il leaves the exhaust
pipes from common steam engine.
In other words, il is built TO utilize
the waste steam. To understand
the workings Of this turbine it must
be remembered that as steam expands
the pressure diminishes and the vol
ume increases From high pressure
tthe volume increases slowly with a
long drop in pressure but when the
low pressures are reached the volume
increases rapidly with small decreas.
es IN pressure. FOR reciproctaing
engine to get full benefit from low
pressure steam would require the use
OF cylinder OF such immense size as to
make their use prohibitive through
mechanical difficulties, On the other
hand the low-pressure turbine, with
its wide blades and large nozzles, will
handle great volume OF steam in
rapid motion and utilize all the en-
ergy.
The Curtis low-pressure turbine is
made in sizes from 700 to 10000
horsepower, designed to take seam

STAND BY YOUR TOWN.

Every Astorian who goes forth
into the States adjoining Oregon
north, east and south, returns with
the same story as to Asoria. The
rend of the tale is, that this city is
holding its own admirably with every
place OF like size and character on
the coast; that there is just a bit
more activity here than anywhere
else; that we have less to complain
about than any other town, and
that things generally hereabout are
equally as good, if not a shade bet
ter, than most of the towns these err
rant Astorians have visited. 1t is the
talk of men who Judge things as they
pass, and not the brag of partial
home-people.
1t all goes to show that we should
stand by the city of Astoria. She is
Of the best, as far as she goes; and is
forging ahead all the time. There is
more money here, according to these
travellers, than most places enjoy,
and more industrial activity; and
even if the year be dull, as all
Presidential years are, this yields no
predicate for knocking the place. We
are doing all our present financial
string will permit; the future is as
bright as it ever was; we have no
great communal burdens, no distinct
and retarding impediments; we are
simply not doing as much business
as we would like to do; that is about
all there is to Astoria's real plant.
Stand by the town and have a good
word for it ever on the end of your
tongue and pen. 1t pays. Get to-
gether solidly and soundly and move
en- masse, for the new things that are
to come; bring them in; don't wait for
them to be brought, or sent, in;
stand by, and nothing will get past
you or the town eitherl.

CHINESE REFORM.

The Americanized Chinaman is
reaching after the redemption Of his
own great land. The Chinese Empire
Reform Association, which has its
sub-associations all over the Pacific
coast, Astoria included, is doing a
great work and should be encour-
aged so far as it will permit the
friendly aid Of the Americans. They
are working out their own salvation,
within their own ranks and taking
their cue, but not their guidance,
from the natives of this country.
They are passing the messages Of
peace and freedom and progress
back to the intelligent and capable
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-07-07

of their own people at home and
lending immense service, in counsel
and money, for the spread OF the
healthier and happier code OF civic
life there. 1t is an uphill task, and
they may be long years in attaining
to their ends; but it is worth all the
time and trouble and sacrifice. and
posterity will bless them, as we bless
the forefathers of our own dear
land. Huge as is the enterprise its
consummation will be infinitely vast
er and its blessings without end.
