only known by select few. We take
1t for granted. however that each

As there are twenty five-boilers
each boiler must take twenty tons per

II may be assumed that each pound

steam; that is to say, no less than
o 900 tons OF steam are made every
twenty-four hours, or, noglectlng frac-
lions, $40 tons of steam pass per hour
through the engines. AS the pressure
is about 200 pounds absolute, each
pound Of steam will occupy about two
cubic feet, which means that 1,6SO0OO
cubic feet of steam pass through the
engines every hour.
These are large quantities, but they
shrink when compared with the flow
of water through tho condensers. That
will be about fifty times the weight
of the feed water. or 80 by 5000 equals
100000 tons per twenty-four hours. or
3l2 tons of water every minute, or
00,S00,000 gallons per day. To realize
what this means, II will suffice. per-

represent the water supply at 80 gallons

circumstance that there is plenty of
