FEED WATER HEATER TESTS
ARE PROVING SUCCESSFUL
Invention in Which Copper Country
Men Are interested Saves One
Fifth OF Fuel on South Shore
Road Locomotives.

John w. Currie OF Minneapolis, in
ventor OF the Currie feed water heater

been in use on the Duluth. South

last six months. states that the tests

points of the device that may be
brought out by continuous service.
The company organized by Mr..
Currie, which is largely composed of
copper country men. is now planning
10 introduce the heating device on one
or two OF the Canadian roads as well
as several i'm this country. The Cur
RE heater is a device by which the wa
ter is heated 10 near the boiling point

No Sparks or cinders.
In addition TO saving practically
one-ffth in fuel. il is claimed for the
Currie heater that its use does away
with a locomotive throwing sparks
and cinders out Of the stack. which is
one of the most common causes OF for
est fires. Tests have shown that the
percentage of fuel saved by the heat
or is greatest when the locomotive Is
heavily loaded or on an upgrade trip.
Another advantage claimed for the
invention is that il catches most OF
the dirt and foreign substances in the
water. which now are deposited in the
main boiler, necessitating frequent
cleaning.

The loss represented by the heat Of

tive field 10 those who would improve
the efficiency of the boiler. The fuel
loss i'm the form of cinders passing

readily be reduced. A sure road TO
improvement in this direction lies in

that the entire loss covered by this
item will in time be overcome.
Locomotive boilers are handicapped
ny the requirement that the boiler
and all its appurtenances must come
within rigidly defined limits of space
and by the fact that they are forced
to work at very high rates of power.
Notwithstanding this handicap. the
zone of practicable Improvement which
lies between present-d day results and
those which may reasonably be re-
garded as obtainable is not so wide as

easy. Material Improvement is less
likely TO come in large measures as
the result Of revolutionary changes
than as a series of relatively small
savings.
1T is apparent that the utilization
OF fuel in locomotive practice is a
problem Of large proportions, and that
II even a small saving could be made
by all or large proportion of the loco
motives Of the country it would con-

VALUE OF FAIRGROUNDS.
Washington Report Of Interest Be-
cause of Local Movement.

Supplementing the recommendation
OF the directors of the Washington
Fairgrounds Association that a play
grounds commission be created, the
compilation OF the annual report OF
the association, which is just being
started, promises to be a big boost
for the Fairgrounds movement. The
following relative to the Washington
Fairgrounds is of interest here, owing
TO the Fairgrounds which will be
established on the Yotti estate pro-
perty at the corner of First and Hecla
streets next summer:
The most striking feature connected
with the report so far is the showing
of attendance at the ten municipal
Fairgrounds during the season just
closed. From June 30 to November
1. according to the report, the atten-
dance was more than 100000. In the
corresponding period last year it was
233, 900.
This is all the proof needed, say Of
ficials of the association, that the
movement is growing and is proving
sufficiently popular with children. to
insure the youth Of the city being ben
Gifted by healthful exercise to a fairly
representative degree. "l 7s
With such results achieved during
the past season, the announcement Is
made that three new Fairgrounds will
be opened up. probably two of them
going to the north west section, with
one to the southwest.
Such heavy attendance is being re-
corded daily at the only two municipal
Fairgrounds now open-the First street
and New York avenue (northwesD
and the Georgetown grounds-that no
decision has been reached as to when
they will be closed. Favorable wea-
Their has been the determining feature
largely in their having been kept open
this long. as the average daily atten-
dance at the Georgetown grounds has
been more than 400. with fully hall
that number registering at the FRS
street and New York avenue grounds
