The reputation made by Chicago's

to be eclipsed by the Kansas City

city with the traction companies which
was worked out for Chicago, where
"the city gets SIS per cent" as placards
in all street cars remind the passen-
ger, has been adopted for the Missouri
city with a division of 50 per cent to
each. Also there is a municipal pur-
chase provision for which the valua-

invested up to date in creating the
property, $33, 100000 plus whatever

stocker or furnace poorly set is OF
less value than a poor stocker or fur
mace we'll set. Good installation Is
necessary for smoke prevention"
And here Is the secret OF all smoke
less burning ID coal. Mr.. Randall
says. "Stokers or furnaces must bo
set so that the combustion is com
plete before the gases strike the heat
ing surface of the boiler When
partly burned gases at a temperature
of. say. $500 degrees Fahrenheit
strike the tubes of a boiler at. say.
$50 degrees Fahrenheit. combustion Is
necessarily hindered and may be en-
tirely arrested. The length of time
required for the gases TO pass from
the coal to the heating surface prob
ably averages considerably less than
a second, a fact which shows that
the gases and air must be intimately
mixed when large volumes of gas are
distilled. as at times of hand firing,
or the gas must be distilled uni
formly, as in mechanical Stocker."

ANXIETY IN THE NAVY.

II is announced that the greatest an
Xiety is felt by the officers Of the navy
general board and the board of con.
struction regarding the efficiency OF
the battleship North Dakota because
she is equipped with the Curtis type
OF turbine, which has demonstrated,
on the scout cruiser Salem. an ability
TO eat up coal at ruinous rate.
According to the tests now in pro-
gress 1t is found that the Salem re-
quires 202 tens OF coal an hour TO
make twenty knots. while the Ches-
ter. equipped with the Parsons typo
OF turbine, makes the same speed with
157 tons, and the Birmingham, with
reciprocating engines. makes the
speed with less than 154 tons.
1t was expected that the test OF
these scout cruisers would demon
strate that the turbine mechanism In.
volyed a greater coal consumption
than that Of the reclprocating engines.
but no such Discrepancy was expected
as the tests thus far have shown.
