James Watt

S. C. A.--As early as 1853 Watt turned
his attention TO the construction of a steam
carriage and in 1854 he was called upon
TO repair the model of the Newcomer en-
gine In the cabinet of Glasgow University
Studying this machine he soon realized Its
defects and lack of efficiency and deter
mined that the losses of heat in the cylln-
der could be corrected and the imperfect
method OF cOndensing the steam improved.
He contrived an Independent condenser
in which steam was exhausted and con-
densed after doing its work on the piston,
instead of being condensed by a jet of cold
water in the cylinder. as was done in the
Newcomer engine

POINT OF VIEW

Some changes should be made in the
present system. For instance, 1t could be
provided that in case of death or resgna-
tlon, the surviving electors from a state
should be empowered 10 choose successor.
But the safeguards of the older system
should not be thrown away because of the
attitude of 'watchful waiting" that CalIfor-
MIA recently required OF the rest OF the

With sighing winds and from the Bkles

the best course will be to stop

A MUNICIPAL PLANT-THE

III T will be unfortunate if the
city council drops the sub
ject of removing the over

one says the best way to han
ole the matter is to take a
course that will sting the pro-
perty owner and the city to the
maximum and let the electric
company off without expense.
There should be some way
Of solving this problem without
forcing people to get service
through the back streets. AS a
matter Of fact all the overhead
wires should go from the fire
limits of the city. They should
be put underground. Then we
