Railroads Use one-Fisth Of Total
Production Of Country.
Enormous Amount Of Fuel Is Lost
That Under Ideal Conditions of
Operation Much Could
Be Saved.

Misunderstanding million tons OF
coal. one.fifth of the total product of
the country, were consumed by the
$1,000 locomotives In the United
States in 1906 In hauling freight and
passenger trains This fuel cost the
railroad companies s17O.5O0,O00
This enormous consumption of coal
by the railroads led the United States
geological survey through It's technical
branch. to conduct a series Of tests on
locomotive to determine whether or
not there could be saving to the
country in the amount OF fuel used
and the results have just been an
nounced in a bulletin of the survey.
Prof. w. F. M. Goss. now dean of
the University Of Illinois, who had
charge of the experiments, makes the
statement that of the total 90O00,00G
tons of coal used, 1O,0SO,OOO tons are
lost through the heat in the gases that
are discharged from the stacks of the
locomotives; $4,000 tons are lost
through cinders and sparks; 100000
tons are lost through radiation, leak
age of steam and water; 2,SS0,000 tons
are lost through unconsumed fuel in
the ashes, and 100000 tons are lost
through the incomplete combustion of
gases, In addition, 100000 tons are
consumed in starting fires, in moving
the locomotive to Its train, in backing
trains into or out Of sidings and in
keeping the locomotive hot while
standing.
Under ideal conditions of opera
tion," says Prof. Goss, much of the
fuel thus used could be saved. and 1t

WASTED MUCH COAL

NAL process of evolution in railroad
practice will tend gradually to bring
about some reduction In the consump-
ton thus accounted for. The loss
represented by the heat of discharged
gases offers an attractive field to
those who would improve the eff
cheney OF the boiler. The fuel loss in
the form of cinders passing out Of
the stack is very large and may read.
lily be reduced A sure road to i'm
provement in this direction lies in an
Increased crate area. Opportunities
for incidental saving are to be found
in improved flame ways such as are
to be procured by the application of
brick arches and other devices. Such
losses may also be reduced by great
err care in the selection OF fuel and in
the preparation of the fuel for the
service In which it is used 1t is not
unreasonable to expect that
the entire loss covered by this
item will in time be overcome. The
fuel which is lost by dropping through
crates and mingling with the ashes is
factor that depends Oh the CRATE
design, on the characteristic of the
fuel. but chiefly on the degree of care
exercised in managing the fire. More
skillful firing would save much Of the
fuel thus accounted for.
Locomotive boilers are handi-
capped by 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 handi-
cap. the zone Of practical improve
ment which lies between present day
results and those which may reason
ably be regarded as obtainable Is not
SO wide as to make future progress
rapid or easy. Material improvement
is less likely to come In large meas
ures as the result of revolutionary
changes than as series of relatively
small savings 1t is apparent that the
utilization of fuel in locomotive prac.
tice is problem of large proportions.

BID Lous for China.

When she left Linnton. Ore, for
China the steamer M. S. Dollar had
on board one of the most singular
cargoes of lumber that has ever left
the port. Her deck load is composed
of huge unsawed logs which are des.
tined to go into Chinese temple.
There are about twenty-five of these
logs and they range in length from
los to LOG feet. They average about
forty-three inches at the butt and
each weighs in the neighborhood OF
Is tons. They will be discharged
somewhere along the river between
Shanghai and Hankow, after which
they will have to be taken a long
distance into the interior of the coun-
try. where they will be used in max
ing repairs to Buddhist temple
which is many centuries old.
The work of transferring them from
the coast to their destination will be
an enormous task. as for most of the
way they will have to be transported
by the most primitive methods and
it will be the work of months to get
them to their destination.
