LOCAL ENGINEERS HEAR
LECTURE ON TURBINES
Latest Mechanical Devices Ex-
planned in Illustrated Talk

An illustrated lecture ON the modern
type of steam turbine was given under
the auspices of subordinate association
California No of the national asso-
citation of stationary engineers at their
rooms at the Merchants Exchange
building last Wednesday.
The lecture by w. ]. Davis Jr was
profusely illustrated with lantern
slides. One part of the lecture dealt
with the installation of the low pres
sure turbine, in conjunction with pres
ent reciprocating engine plants, the
turbine being designed to run with low
pressure steam and to utilize the ex-
flaust steam from the reciprocating en-
gine. the heat of which would other
wise be wasted
The use OF this type of turbine was
shown by statistics and tests to result
approximately in doubling the power
OF the plant with no increase in fuel
consumption.
This result is arrived at by the abil-
ity to utilize the expansive properties
of steam below atmospheric pressure,
the utilization of which Is inlpracti-
cable in the reciprocating type of en-
areas required The limit of power Of
this type of turbine is determined by
the amount of exhaust steam delivered
TO 1t from the recfprocating engine.
This lecture was one of a series
which the association gives at short
intervals for the PURPOSE Of educating

fire at the cottage. 107 Twenty ninth

attempt TO. set the place on fire. A
quantity of oakum had been carried
into the basement and sprinkled with
coal oil and the oil had been thrown
on the walls and ceiling. A lighted
candle had been placed in a cigar box
and then into a washtub, but even If
the candle had burned down it could
only have set fire to the cigar box.
Some idiot or child must have been

But the change in the relations be-

the change in the woman herself. She
was no longer n philosopher. That

that which she abborrcd, she loved
that which she had refused, she ac-
cepted. She was Il Christian in belief
at least Alone, or practically so, face

his book, God in humanity, her specious
ideas of life and her relationship TO it
had broken down. She had learned 10

had learned TO seek elsewhere than in
herself for power to enable her to live
her life and fulfill her tasks.
She had not wished to be a Chris

compelling necessity was upon her.
The convictions of her conversion tore
the veil from before her face, dispelled
the mist that hung about her. She
saw herself as she was, a woman who
under the influence of wrong ideas,
false conceptions, had branded herself
forever. No. not in the eyes of that

She sat in the boat musing long
time and then woke to the fact that
she was hungry. Again she satisfied

thought TO her condition
Life was still sweet to her, the fu-
ture still presented possibilities to her
inexperienced mind and she had no
intention Of giving up the ono and
abandoning hope of the other without
struggle. In the first place, she
had only the vagucst idea of where
she was-somewhat IN the south IA
cific ocean. Latitude and longitude
were alike unknown to her. In the first
two or three weeks of the cruise, when
the relation between the two had been
altogether lovely. she had taken deep
interest in the daily run. She bad fol
lowed the course of the yacht day by
day and had seen her position plotted
on the various charts of the South seas,
but in the last two or three weeks.
in her despair, she paid no attention
to ANYTHING but her misfortunes and
she had not now the slightest idea of
her whereabouts. save that 1t was far
south Of the equator In as unknown
waters as there were on the globe. She
did remember To have heard that there
were islands in plenty in these watrs
and she recalled having passed several
in the Yacht, but where they were and
what they were, she did not know.
There was absolutely nothing IN the
boat which would give her any clcw.
She wished now that she had not been
so precipitate in her fight; that the
shuddering abhorrence which filed
her soul at the sight of the man had
not so moved her that her only thought
was 10 get away and she barely had
presence of mind 10 bring what she
had in the boat with her, For she re-
membered that there were books on
the South seas in the yacht library
and some of them contained maps and
much other information.
There was no use replning over the
fact that she did not have them, how
ever: nor was there any use IN replnlpg
over her total Ignorance Of her where
abouts She Realized at last that she
was in the hands-apother would have
said of Cod: she said of chance. The
fact that she was so helpless; that all
her learning and all her training, and
all her skill and all her power were of
no avail, made the situation the more

The coming of the breeze stimulated
her imagination. 1t was gentle
breeze. She noticed that it blew from
the direction where she had come by
her compass course. If she only had
a sail of some kind. the boat would
be driven along, She must move some
where, She had heard of ocean cur
rents and drift, but she doubted
whether the boat was moving, at least
sufficiently fast or in any definite di-
rectlon to make any difference. Unless
she got somewhere, she would slowly
starve and die Just where she was.
