STEAM TURBO GENERATOR
OF 10000 HORSE POWER

The large steam turbo-generator
recently installed at the Waterside
station of the New York Edison com
pany has capacity for two dread
naughts, or for several ordinary cit,
les. A turbo-generator is steam
turbine engine and an electric gener'
ator mounted on the same shaft. In
palmer words it is mechanical de-
vice to change steam energy into
electrical energy so it can be dis
tributed over copper wires to where
it is needed for power and light. In
order to realize the tremendous pow
er of this particular turbine you
must imagine 10000 large truck
horses hard at work.
This tremendous piece of machin-
cry is 81 feet long, 20 feet across and
IA feet high, and its vitals are pro-
tected by solid steel castings, giving
it a total weight of $4,000 pounds.
Station No. 2, of the Waterside group.
houses the new unit which was in
stalled in the space formerly occu-
pied by two turbines of smaller ca
pacity. This machine was built es-
pecially for the New York Edison
Company by the General Electric
Company at the Schenectady works.
To members of the electrical in
dustry it is known as 30,OOO-kw.
ten-stage, high-pressure turbine of the
Curtis type. The set consists of a
ten-stage, high-pressure turbine and
a two-stage, double-fiow, low-press-
ure turbine on the same shaft. Steam
that drives the ,high-pressure blades
exhausts into the low-pressure tur-
bine. where whatever is left of its
energy is utilized. From this cham
Der it exhausts into the condenser
and becomes impotent water once
more.
The turbine operates at 1900 revo-
lutions a minute and the peripheral
speed of the low-pressure buckets is
more than nine miles minute.
Steam is supplied through IS valves
at the front of the unit, at a press
ure of about 1876 pounds to the
square inch. The condensing system
necessary to handle this tremendous
amount of steam is of the surface
type and it is estimated that there
are about 5O,noe feet of cooling space
in the compact apparatus. The con-
densing is accomplished with river
water through the assistance of a
rs, 900 gallon pump. But although
this great machine is generating
enough force to drive several large
steamships, its operation is almost
soundless. Aside from the soft hiss
ing Of the Bnprisoned steam only z
steady drone ~ beard.

says: Before the last war. Old Hop,
who was helpless and lame, presided
over the whole nation as Archima-
gus, and lived in Chota, their only
town of refuge"
The second place of especial his
torical interest is that of Greeneville,
capital of the State of Franklin.
Jonesboro was the capital of the
Washington district but Greeneville
of Franklin, which fourished for
three years, with its Legislature, jul
dicial and executive branches of the
government and with its citizen
army.
Bancroft devotes many pages to the
State of Franklin, and it fascinated
Theodore Roosevelt, who devotes
considerable space to the lost com
mOnwealth in his work, 1.-The Win
ming OF the West" He considers it
one of the most interesting and ro-
mantle chapters in American his
tory.
A variety of names was proposed
for the new commonwealth. Some
were for calling it Franklin, in honor
of Benjamin Franklin, of Philadelphia,
others FARMLAND, as the land of free
men, but il was decided by a small
majority in favor of calling it Frank
lin."
The chairman urges the chapters
throughout the state to greater activ-
ity along the line of patriotism. The
Immediate present is not our sole
concern; we are building for future
generations. The monuments and
tablets marking these historic places
are not only a tribute of affection
and homage to the memory of those
devoted heroes who fought for free
dom, but they are object lessons to
the youth of our land; they help to
inculcate in the hearts of the chill
dren a love of country, they encour-
age loyalty and they establish a bet
ter citizenship. and they clearly show
what or great organization stands for

STATE D. A. R. CHAIRMAN
ON PRESERVING SITES

tBy Miss Ella Hunt, state Chairman
for the Preservation of Historic
Sites.-
The following paper was an inter
esting feature of the state conference
in Chattanooga:
The members of the state confer
ence will remember that report of
the marking of the Boone trail,
through North Carolina, Tennessee.
Virginia and Kentucky was made at
the last annual meeting held in
Knoxville, November, 1914.
A contamination of that work was,
the placing of the base for monu-
ment at Cumberland Gap, to be erect
ed to the memory of the famous
pioneer, Daniel Boone-spoken of as
the civilizer of the North Carolina
and Kentucky wilderness and found
er of Boonesboro, Ky.-the unwilling
taking place last June 80, 1915.
A communication from the Nancy
Ward Chapter of Chattanooga last
March started its first work along
this line would be to assist the Ben
ton Historical Society in erecting a
monument to honor the memory of
the courageous Indian princess
Nancy Ward-to be placed on court
square at Benton.
Nancy Ward is buried about mile
and half from Benton, on the ole
Cherokee war trail along the Ocoee
river. Some time ago movement
was started to raise funds 10 have
| her remains removed to Couri
square and this monument placed
over the grave.
A number of graves of revolution
airy soldiers in the vicinity of Nor
ristown and at Elizabeth have beer
reported.
In connection with this, ! wish tt
state that upon application to thu
quartermoster general, U. S. army
headstones will be furnished for thu
graves. These are MADE of the bes
white American marble, 20 inche!
long, IL inches wide and Az inches
thick, and sent postpaid, with thu
name cut on the face" (Taken from
the report of the national chairman
of historic spots.)
The site where the first court il
Tennessee was held was reported b!
the John Garter chapter at Elizabeth
ton. 1t was under a fine sycamore
tree which is still standing.
The, mansion of Gov. Blount a
Knoxville is still awaiting the plac
ing of commemorative tablet.
The chairman suggests for the con
sideration of the cahpters, two places
of especial interest. These she spoke
of in her report last year-the plac.
ing of a monument at Chota-the
capital of the Cherokees, and the
home of Nancy Ward This site is
about five miles above the ruins Of
Fort Loudon. According to Adair
every Indian tribe had house or d
town of refuge which was a sure asy
lum to protect man slayer, or the
unfortunate captive, if he could once
enter it.
At this place an Englishman took
refuge and found protection after
killing an Indian warrior, in defense
of his property. His dwelling house
being near to Chota, the English
trader resolved, after remaining in
the city of refuge some months, to re-
turn home, but he was assured by
the head men that although perfectly
safe where he was it would be not
only dangerous, but fatal to him, il
he attempted to remove thence.
Among the distinguished Chero
KEGS was Oconostota. OF him, Adair
