TRAVEL ON AERIAL RAILROAD
Device That Can Be Employed Either
In Pleasure Resorts or In Min
Ing Camps.

With the present rapidly increasing
efficiency of flying machines, all other
forms Of aerial transportation seem
commonplace, but most people would
rather ride in the aerial railroad here
shown and invented by a man In
Washington, d. c. Large, strong
arches hold a trolley wire near their
apexes and a monorail on supports
projecting from one of their sides.
From this rail the car hangs on
wheels, and while the arms attached
to the wheels must necessarily be on
the opposite side to the supports for the
rail, the balance is adjusted so that the
car is perfectly level. A little pole
connects with the charged wire and
the whole runs like a surface trolley,
except that 1t can traverse the rough
est fields and cross creeks with ease.
no bridges being necessary. The pos
sibilities of this railroad for amuse.

GLOWING Out eolLER rueEs
Much Gain In Fuel Economy Proved
70 ss Had by Following This
Method.

--.
Tests have demonstrated that ave to
ten per cent. gain in fuel economy may
be obtained through the regular blow
Ing Of SCOT from boiler tubes. SCOT
lnterposes additional resistance to the
flow OF heat and It's removal increases
the coeflcient Of heat transmission
and thus reduces the fiue gas tempera-
ture.
II boiler surface Is maintained free
OF SCOT and the superheater surface
neglected there will be only q small
excess temperature OF waste gases,
because the superheater surface is
only a small.per cent. of the total,
says the Boilermaker.
But there is a decided loss In econo-
my, because the superheater tempera-
ture will be very much less than that
to be obtained with clean su~perheated
tubes. 1t is quite possible for super
heater tubes to be so covered with
SCOT as to reduce the .su~perheater tenn
perature so degrees below normal,
equivalent to five per cent. or more
excess steam consumption. Ordinar-
lily boiler and superheater surface
should be blown a number Of times a
day, and IL this course is pursued the
duration of blowing need be very
short.
The superheater blower is first op-
Grated, the SCOT being carried by the
draft Into the boiler setting, from
WHICH 1t flows to the up-take. Such
parts OF the soot as are r%edeposited In
the boiler are then d~islodged when the
boiler is blown.
In order to insure regularity in the
blowing OF the superheater and boiler
surface, also in blowing off mud
drums, 1t is a good plan to rig up some
automatic device, which will record
the time at which SCOT blowers and
mud-drum blow-offs are opeNated.

about one-half the children born in

prevent such mortality, and the wan.
