ELECTRICAL engineering is con.
stantly at.work seeking to transform
the largest possible percentage OF
the total available heat energy in
coal into electrical energy, and to
this end has endeavored to improve
the efficiency of steam engines,
steam turbines and international
combustion engines. Another way
to conserve the heat energy
of the coal used under the
steam boiler Is to protect this fuel
from deterioration of the value that
il has when purchased, that is from
the loss of heat units, during long
storage, by exposure to the air and
also by spontaneous firing of Goals
containing sulphur. An Indiana
polls electric light company has de-
vised an underwater coal storage
pit containing $4,000 tons, of
which IS, 900 tons can be sub
merged. This pit, which represents
an investment of $40, 900, will be
filled by gravity, thereby limiting the
cost of handling to one transfer.

Altogether some forty-two of them are
known, some badly broken. 1t is now
supposed by the best authorities on

seems, monotheists, and the single
shaft was designed to represent the
