Our Steam-Heated River.
tNew York Times.>

Americans have often been charged with liv- Ing Tn over heated houses but it has been left to Science Service to show that New Workers at least dwell by steam-heated river It's artificial warmth may even mitigate the rigors of Winter slightly.
 Along the East River are nine electric 1gbt ana power plants. In order to condense the steam after It has done it's work the great tur- pines require about four hundred tons of cooling water to every ton of coal burned under the ooiiers AS the plants consume something like thousand tons of coal an hour and az tbe temperature of the water is raised about 25 de- grees during the five minutes that it stays in the plant it is obvious that the effect on the parent stream Is far from negligible
 science Service says that this tremendous sun ply of warm water actually raises the temnera ture Of the whole river from Hell Gate to Gov ernors Island, no less than 10 degrees That is one reason why the East River obstnatelv TO iuses to freeze over, even in the coldst weather
