A real curiosity in the United States
patent Office is a working model of the
first steam engine, built by clever
inventor named Hero a century and a
half before Christ was born.
A modern engineer would call it a
steam reaction turbine. 1t consists OF
spherical vessel pivoted on an axis
and supplied with steam through one
Of the plvots. The steam escapes
through bent pipes in opposite direc-
tons, thus causing the globe to re-
volve.
Hero was the first steam engineer.
Having hit upon the idea that the ex-
pansiye energy of steam could be used
for power, he developed number Of
devices for its mechanical employ
ment.
One of them was a hollow altar, be-
meath which a fire was built. Under
the altar was a vessel containing wa
ter. The latter, converted into steam,
opened the temple doors by pressure
upon a pair of vertical posts on which
the doors swung. When the fire cooled,
the doors closed automatically.
The ancients 1000 years and more
ago used steam power for turning splits
and various other unimportant pur-
poses. But it does not seem to have
occurred to them that this source Of
energy might be made available for
mechanical utilization on large scale.

STATES SPEED oP-
GRAFTON OF FEDERAL
AID ROAD ACT.

Probably the most significant
result thus far of the operation
Of the federal aid road act has
been the enactment by a num-
Der of state legislatures Of effec-
tive road laws. Legislative ac-
ton in some states was neces-
sary to meet the requirements
of the federal act, but many Of
the states have gone further
and have recast their highway
policies. All the states have as
sented to the provisions Of the
act-42 by their legislatures
and six by their governors.
Thirty-three had a highway de-
partment within the meaning of
the act upon the date of its APP
prevail; the remaining Is have
since enacted legislation Great
ing highway departments which
comply with the terms Of the
law. The highway departments
in IS states have been greatly
strengthened, specific approprla-
tions to meet the federal funds
have been made by ten, and
comprehensive maintenance leg
islation has been enacted in
nine states. Forty-two states
now have satisfactory mainten-
ance laws. Nearly all the states
have submitted definite schemes
or programs Of work for the en-
tire five-year period covered by
the act, or for the greater por-
ton of it. The formulation Of
carefully prepared plans for the
full period in advance Of con-
struction tends to prevent waste
full and haphazard undertake
ings.
