Power From Exhaust Steam.

tHr rfElh'frfHS Mukd1iues
There never has been a more inter-
esting period in the development OF
machinery for the production Of power
than the present. The steam engine
is slowly giving way to the steam
turbine and the gas engine, except for
certain purposes to which IL is specially
adapted. Perhaps it would be more ac-
curate to say that each of the three
types is finding its special field. Never
theless, the steam engine for large
power stations is in danger of becom-
ing antiquated within a few years un-
less some method for improving its ef
ficiency can be discovered. The steaEi
turbine is already giving better
suits for new installations, and the gas
engine needs only the ability to take
care of oyerloads and large fiuctua-
tions Of the load to reach the front
rank for most purposes The question
is becoming common: Does it pay to
run large steam engines for central
power stations even now Fortunate
ly for the steam engine. the answer
can be given with greater confidence
since the production of a w-preSsurc
turbine has made it possible TO rejn-
Nena:e the most ANTICIPATED and waste
full plants by bringing their efficiency
up to that of good steam turbines.
The low pressure turbine did not orig
mate. however. for service with the or
binary power stations. 1t was first put
forward practically by Prof. Ratedu.
for use in mining and metallhrsiCa al
processes. where the consumption of
steam was exceedingly wasteful. He
solution of the problem was to put
turbine in line with a steam engine
which ran Internationally and could.
therefore not make a good use of con-
densing apparatus. This involved. n
addition. a regeneration. or storaS
reservoir. for steam. SO that the tur
bne might receive A constant flow.
while the exhaust into the regenrator
was Irregular 1t also required some
method of taxing steam from the boiler
direct to the turbine. Later expert
ence has demonstrated the possibility
of running the turbine in sequence

combination of the two seems to prom

Fear of Premature Burial.

From the Westminster Gazette
The fear of premature burial. which
prompted the late Lord Burton to direct
by his will that his heart should be re-
moved from his body, has caused many
well known men and women to order a
surgical operation TO be performed upon
their bodies. Harriet Martineau left her
doctor go to amputate her head. and
Lady Burton directed that her heart
should be pierced with "A needle. The late
Edmund Yates left instructions that his
jugular vein should be severed. with a
provision that fee of twenty guineas
should be paid for the purpose. Literary
persons appear Ia have been particularly
afraid of premature burial. Bishop Berke-
ley Lord 1.yttou. Hans Andersen and

Hitherto medical men in Japan have been allowed full liberty to advertise but the Department for Home Affairs has now issued an order, under the au- thority of the law passed by the diet last session. which practically forbids all advertisements in the nature Of puffs. Physicians. surgeons. dentists, and all who conduct hospitals or pro- vide other means of medical consulta. ton or treatment win not be allowed to advertise anything except their names, qualifications. localities, and charges. Doubtless such Legislation is calculated to enhance the dignity of Che profession but 1t is suggested that the officials of tho home department will have a delicats task In distIn- gushing between advertisements that violate and advertisements that com ply with this regulation. One great abuse charged against the medical profession in Japan Is ths habit of trusting the treatment of patients to unqalified assistants. but the aaw ord or does not appear to touch this branch of the subject
