 "The boilers already built contain 14S tubes 4lh feet long and inches in diam eter They can furnish about S6O pounds of steam per hour at q pressure of 10 pounds to the square eentimeter The heating elements are grouped by sections. each connected with independent switches to control the production of the steam.
 The system just described has been applied on electric locomotives to produce the steam pressure to heat the train The results have been satisfactory The electric heating of boilers will probab bly not come into general use. because of the high price Of electric energy It may nevertheless render service in certain special cases, for example when il is necessary 10 keep boilers under pressure in the reserve station of water-power- house. as to he able insease of need, to start the stean-ensines quickly.

Making Steam Without Fire

From the Literary Digest.
 That tubular steam boiler may be operated without any fire. the water fin each tube being heated by an electric element contained within the tube itself has now been amply demonstrated. I1x- pense will probably prevent the use of such boilers for motive power, but there are conditions in which they will be val uable. They are in use, for Instance, in generating steam for heating trains drawn by electric engines. One might think that it would be more economical to use the electric current directly for the heating. and it would where electric power Is to be used to operate the train throughout its course. In many cases. however. an electric engine is used only
