USE SUPERHEATERS IN JAPAN
Adoption on Japanese Railways Dates
From 1911, When German Engines
Were Put in Use.

Japan has adopted superheated loco
motives extensively. Occidental prac-
tice has been applied here, although
1t is interesting to note that about
1902-03, when the Schmidt super
heater was coming into general use, a
smokebox superheater was manufac-
tured for trial purposes in Japan, but
the test did not develop the desired
results. The adoption of the Schmidt
superheater on japanese railways
dates from 1911, when some engines
ordered from Germany were put in
service on the state railways. These
were followed by other locomotives or
dered from America. Because of Eng
fish influence the continuous vacuum
brakes were adopted, and are now in
general use.-Railway Age Gazette.

BY WILLIAM A. RkDFORD.

The true enjoyment of life is secure
ly anchored to the existence of group
of sentiments which are wrapped
around every event in life. One of the
limestone of the most powerful-of
these groups is that which is para
mount in the establishment Of a home.
A home which is not built upon the
foundation of such a group of senti-
ments is no home at all. 1t is unfor-
tunate that very often the establish
ment of home involves the consid-
Grafton of conditions other than those
Of comfort in wholesome surroundings.
The man of the house must be near
to his work or the cost of land is pro-
hibitive where the surroundings are
best. These things must, of course,
be given precedence in some cases.
No matter what enters into the Sc
lection Of the place of building, too
much care cannot be exercised in plan
ming the home for comfort. Fine SEN
timents are not ordinarily associated
with uncomfortable surroundings. The
money which is spent purely for the
purpose of increasing the comfort of
the home is sure to bring returns which
are inestimable in terms of cash. Let

NOVEL TYPE OF LOCOMOTIVE
Engine introduced in New Zealand
Can Travel Farther Than Com
pound Without Taking Water.

A new type of locomotive has been
employed on the Observation-Disclosures
section of the Main Trunk railway of
New Zealand during the last three
months, according to recent issue Of
the British (governmenD Board Of
Trade Journal The first of the class
was constructed at the government
workshops in Dunedin for service on
tie Canterbury Plains some two years
ago. After severe grade tests, which
proved successful, four Of the new en-
gines were sent to North Island some
months ago and have been used on
the Neutrality-suspicious. section with
good results. 1t appears that this en-
CINE can travel farther than the COM
pound engine without taking in water,
and that it has greater hauling ca
pacity.

necessary to dwarf all of the upper
protuberances in order to permit oper-
alton beneath low bridges and through
certain tunnels. In building it, the
sand boxes were installed at the sides,
instead Of at the top, the steam dome
was built exceptionally low and broad,
the smokestack was given height of
only few inches, and the bracket sup
porting the bell was attached to the
front of the smoke box above the head
light. The engine, which is one Of
several of type being placed In
service, is thoroughly equipped with
devices designed to facilitate operation
and tighten the work of the enginemen.
A mechanical stOker, actuated both by
steam and compressed air, feeds pull
verified coal to the fire. In cases re-
quiring hand stocking, the door of the
fire box is opened and closed by power.
There are no large, heavy levers for
the pilot to manipulate, for compressed
air again Is brought into play. Alone,
the locomotive weighs 428,5O0 pounds,
and with the tender, 624,900 pounds.

LARGE ENGINES FOR CANADA
New Government Locomotives Haul
Double Loads Formerly Pulled
by Older Types.

Prior to the introduction of new en-
gines the heaviest locomotives in use
on the Canadian government railways
weighed $4,000 pounds. The "Mi-
kado" engines weigh 2S3,000 pounds
and the "Santa Fe" $4,000 pounds.
The maximum speed for the freight
trains on the system is % miles per
hour. The new engines have been de-
signed to conform to this schedule, but
to pull double the load hauled by the
older types. 1t is said that the "Santa
Fe" engines can handle 4S loaded cars
and carry them over per cent gra-
dent at the standard rate of speed.
The "Mikado" has been constructed
especially for the long grades of the
national transcontinental division Of
the Canadian government railway sys-

through the roof near the peak Of
the intersecting gables. This roof is
very effective, its appeal probably rest
Ing in the slight suggestion of the
colonial style Of architecture which
has become so popular during recent
years. This suggestion is carried
through the entire design and is one
of its strongest recommendations. The
perspective view shows awnings in
stalled on the porch and front win
dows. These awnings are very desir-
able in summer since they serve to
make a little summer parlor Of the
porch, shaded from the direct sunlight
yet bright, cheerful and coy. There
are a large number of windows in
the walls Of this house, placed in such
manner that their effect upon the
appearance is pleasantly noticeable.

remarks pertaining to the necessity of

USE LOCOMOTIVES FOR HEAT
Large New Jersey Plant Saved Neces-
sity of Shutting Down by Two
Railroad Engines.

A large manufacturing plant at
Arlington, N. j., was cold as a refrig-
orator one winters morning. and there
was no immediate relief in sight. 1t
seemed as If the three eight-hour shifts
Of 5000 employees might have to be
dismissed. There was no time to in
stall new heating plant; besides that
would have been too costly. The su-
perintendent wanted just enough steam
to furnish heat for few hours.
Two Erie locomotives were placed
on a side track, steam line connec-
ton was made between the hot water
pipes and the steam dome of each en-
CINE, and the plant was heated at an
expense of $50 for the day, which was
the cost Of the engine and fuel. Valves
were placed to enable the source Of
steam to be controlled. Cold water was
supplied to the tenders by an I'M
derground pipe. - Popular Science

the main part Of the house. A seat is,
built in against the wall Of this ex.
tension on either side of the front
door. Because of the proportions of
this room, these seats are close enough
to the fireplace to make this very
cozy arrangement.
There is a cased opening into the
dining room. in the same wall, near
the rear end Of the room, a double
door leads back to the kitchen. Ad-
joining the kitchen is an exceptionally
complete pantry, which is another of
the special features of this house de-
sign. One side of the pantry is occu-
pied by an outside-iced refrigerator
and a wide cupboard with two seats
of double doors. The central part of
the opposite wall is the back Of a.
china case which opens into the din
ing room. On either side of this case
Is a narrow cupboard opening into the
pantry.
The bedrooms open from the hall at
the rear end of which Is the bath. The
hall, turning to the bath, terminates
in door opening into the kitchen.
The attic stair is also reached from
this hall. The basement stair Is
reached from the kitchen. There
is rear porch IL feet 6 inches
by 6 feet built into the corner of the
house at the rear of the pantry.
Dividing the house into three parts,
the first including the living room, the
second including the kitchen, dining
room and pantry and the third includ-
ing the two bedrooms and the bath,
the following characteristics are easily
observed: The first part has been de-
signed with the predominating effort
to provide every possible feature which.
might add to the comfort of the room.
The second part has been designed
to provide the housewife with every
convenience which might assist her in
reducing housework to a minimum.
The third part has been designed to
follow the best practice in lighting
and ventilation for bedrooms, with the
independence of these rooms with re-
spect to one another and the bath as
necessary assumed quantity.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1918-02-01

the most important part of the plan
is the living room. This room should
be made the most attractive in the
house. With the features which are
built in as basis to work on, it would
not be hard task to make this room
an ideal family center. The fireplace
is located directly in front of the en-
trance from the porch. A built-in book
case fills the space between the fire.,
place and the wall between the living
room and the dining room. There is
a door leading into the hall on the
opposite side of the fireplace. An in
teresting detail of comfort is found in
the arrangement Of the part of the.
living room which extends out from
