that with equally good methods the

over enough money in the course OF
two years to buy for cash land that

By means of governor, which does
not impair the efficiency of the engines
because II docs not throttle them, the
steam supply for both engines is so
coupled that neither will work more
rapidly than the other.
The consensus of opinion in the In
stitution of Naval Architects, where the
invention was described, is that abb
sence OF vibration will be readily Sc
cured If the engines are made to run
at the same speed and In opposite
phase, no matter how much the engines
may be out Of balance. The device con-
sists of a set OF diffcrential bevel
wheels or balance gear arrangement,
one wheel being driven by the port en-
gine and the other by the starboard,
and these two wheels being mounted
loosely on a shaft. Two pinions mesh
with both wheels and are mounted on
an axle keyed to the shaft.
AS long as the two bevel wheels re-
volve at tho same speed the shaft re-
mains stationary, but il the speeds diff
fer the movement of the pinions causes
the shaft to rotate. This rotation works
an eccentric mounted on the shaft, and
the eccentric in turn actuates a small
steam valve, by means of which high
pressure steam is admitted to the low
pressure cylinder of the engine work
ing at the lower speed.-Chicago Trib-
une.

Water Power Of the Alps.

Cutting the Simplon tunnel is only
one of the many phases of the indus
trial development that is now going on
in that region. Switzerland, France,
Italy and Austria are all more and
more developing wealth through the
help of the Alps, The French Alps
alone produce force equal to 100000
horsepower. Were that power devel-
opend by the aid OF the ordinary steam
engine no less than 100000 tons OF
coal year would have to be consumed.
The harnessing of the waters which do
the work is not accomplished wholly
without cost. but II is inconsiderable in
comparison with the, results achieved.
