Saturday The last three days have been

or two before I go home. Tom escorted

to apeak to me a moment alone, that he

evening with me, hut, of course. If 1 was
go'ng to have somebody else he would
stay away. As soon as Tom got an op
portunity he said If I was going to see
that fellow that night ha had some letters
he would write. We all walked up to
the house In silence. It was very de
pressing, as I didn't want te hurt any

both felt as though he was my husband.
It was like the time 'we bought tooth
brushes together. 1 should have liked to
praise Jim by making him feel like my
husband In some way,, but there waa
nothing I could do except say I would
telephone him. But I did that more af
fectionately than lots;. of wives I know
would have. Tom was frightfully aggra
vated about htm that evening. He didn't
mention him at all. I wonder if he
would be. anything like Mary Whiting's
husband? Joe Whiting is perfectly de
voted to Msry and she is crasy about
him, but men admire her a great deal,
and one man got so devoted, that she
got quite excited about it. . She thought
she ought to tell Joe. - Mary has such a
wonderful character. She didn't' care a
bit about the man, though I thought he
was awfully attractive. 80 she told Joe
that she really .was afraid Mr. Ham
mond was in love with her. She was
very nervous about It. and even admitted
thst , she might have encouraged him a
little without knowing It. She said Joe
laughed so he almost rolled on the floor.
She had put on her new tea gown and
had the lights dim and everything.
Tom went to New York the following
morning and Jim came and spent the
next evening with me. He Is so impul
sive and Insists on my marrying him.
There is a childish simplicity about him
thst Is most appealing. One could almost
imagine marrying him because he would
be so dreadfully disappointed if you didn't
do as he asked. I waa afraid he was
going to burst Into tears after a while.
He reminded me of Anna Evans' little

day when we were in a toy shop. It
The National Association of Stationary
Fi'gineers will meet In Rochester tomorrow,
while the International Union of Steam
Engineers convened at Denver yesterday.
These organisations have been laboring for
years In the direction of greater efficiency
In steam engineering. For several years
it looked as if steam, perhaps the great
est benefactor the human race has known,
nd which has contributed more than any
other one mechanical force toward human
progress, was doomed to an enforced re
tirement to the Umbo of things which have
outlived their usefulness. After the ad
vent of electricity and producer gas, engi
neers everywhere predicted the time when
they would take the place of steam, which
had a full century of Almost unchallenged
sway. It was found that the electric lo
comotive had many advantassa over the
steam railroad engine, and that the only
hope of steam was that the cost of elec
tric Installation would retard the general
doption of electric motive power for many
years to corns.
It also was found that in marine en
gineering ss well as in factory practice.
the use of steam was a wasteful and
costly method of deriving power from
coal and other sources. Everywhere It
seemed sgreed that steam was tottering
on the brink of its grave, and that shortly
the boon of yestarday would be the for
gotten thing of tomorrow. Even railroad
presidents wers wont to predict that In
a half century steam locomotives would
be aa much of a curiosity as the old
John Bull in the Smithsonian Institution
Is today. But now it seems that all
thsss predictions and forecasts are to
be given the Ha by steam. Rome months
ago the subway company of New York
found thst Its power plant, which was
thought to be large enough to meet all
the requirements of the system for many
years to coma, already was proving in
adequate. The problem of Increasing the
power generating facilities of the plant
became a pressing one. To tear out all
the compound condensing engines of this
plant and to substitute nigh pressure tur
bines, therefor was believed to be out of
the. question. It has been demonstrated
In engineering practice that a low pres
sure turbine can utilize the exhaust
steam of a noncondenslng engine to great
advantage, but it had never been suc
cessfully demonstrated that such a tur
bine could be hitched to compound con
densing engine. The subwsy authorities
concluded to try the experiment of In
stalling a low pressure turbine with a
compound condensing engine of ethe re
ciprocating type.
The result of this experiment has proved
to be one of the most epoch-making events
of the engineering world ire almost a cen
tury. It has shown that the low pressure
turbine can drive more power from the ex
haust than was given by the reciprocating
engine. In point of fact, when the low
pressure turbine wss hitched with the
compound condensing engine. It was found
there was an Increase of 1M per cent In
power derived from a given amount of coal.
In other words, by utilising the exhaust
steam under the old methods, the power de
rived from a pound of coal may be multi
plied by two and one-half. It is difficult
te overestimate how much this means to'
the engineering world. When such Installa
tions become general It will result In a
vast saving of fuel.
But with all the saving effected by the
new method of Joint reciprocating engine
and steam turbine installation, which
method represents a higher degree of
energy utilization than either producer gag
or electricity can show, much yet remains
to be desired. This is shown by the state
ment that even with such a new utilisation
of power as the subway people have made,
more than one-half of the energy in the
coal still Is permitted to escape Into North
river. It la lately announced that a Rus
sian naval engineer haa invented a new
process of utilising all gases arising from
combustion, which makes him able to con
vert fully 90 per cent of the energy in his
fuel into power. The method by which he
obtains this desirable end is Interesting in
the extreme. He first takes all of the
gases coming from the furnaces and cools
them from a temperature of about 3.&00
degrees to something like 1.800 degrees.
Thus cooled, he passes the gases into a tube
with a water spray, where they again are
reduced in temperature to about 660 de-

While not yet tested under ic.ua. work-

this Russian engineer has solved at last
the problem of energy utilisation. If his
Invention proves to be the suc-ers he be
lieves it to be, the results will be moie
fsr-reachlng than Anything that has oc
curred in the engineering world sluice the
time of Watts and Btephenron. Under
present engineering practice the vtillsa
tliwi of hi per cent of the eneigv i-onlained
In the fuel used is about as intK-n as ths
averago establishment ran hoe to do. Ths
other iW per cent of this esiergy is abso
lutely wasted. If the Invention of the Rus
sian works well we may be ustns the M)
per cent and wasting only the W rr cent.
This would so affect the conservation prob
lem as to remove fuel from the c-Wss of
th'ng demanding the pressing at'onuon
of the conservationists, it also will over
come nearly all of the trouble experienced
ss a result of the smoke nuisance. Thers
will be no occasion fur chimneys to fac
tories, as the Russlsn intends that his
boiler shall be a chimney! one.
The use of oil as a fuel In the operation
of steam engines Is rapidly being proved to
be more economical and more efficient than
the use of coke. A significant lesson was
taught recently by the experiments that
have been made with the United States
irulser Cheyenne. With coal as the fuel
used, the steaming radius of this vesstl
was 1.D00 miles. Bliu-e the Introduction of
oil burning furnace it is found that ths
steaming radius has been increased to J.cfO
miles, if this ratio were kept tip on all
the war vessels of the navy It would be
an efficiency hitherto undreamed of. Not
only has the Introduction of oil aa fuel In-crcattt-d
the steaming radius of the Chey
enne, but it also has mi.de it a faster
vessel.
A crusade Is being waged by the steam
engineers of the country against boiler ex
plosions. At the present time these ex
plosions occur at the rate of about two a
day throughout the SU working days of ths
year. In thirty years In Oermany, ending
with ifti". there were seventy-two fewer
boiler explosions In the entire empire than
there were in the United Stales In the year
IWi alone. There were only on-t wenty
seventh ss msny fstatlttes connected with
boiler explosions In Germany In that time
than there were In the United States dur
ing the year. This ratio Is maintained also
in the factories of Great Britain, showing
that American boiler explosions are mors
the result of carelessness than of necessilj .
Not long ago a boiler explosion occurred
In a factory In Canton, O., the results of
which were unusually gruesome. The body
of one of the victims of the accident was
hurled a distance of more tfan Sfrt feet.
It passed entirely through a house, break
ing through the weather-boarding at both
sides as If It had been a cannon ball. Ths
body continued on Its flight for fifty yards
after having pierced both walls of the
house.
When a boiler explodes it is not an In
stantaneous action, but a serious of actions
following In quick succession. First there
is a small . hole opened at the weakest
point, and the explosion takes place through
the extraordinary tension of the gas In Its
anxiety to get through the hole at once.
The energy in a cubic foot of highly
heated water is equal to thst In a pound
of gunpowder. In a boiler with 110 cubic
feet of water space and ft) cubic feet of
steam space, the total energy amounts to
122.On0.Ouo foot pounds. If this were ex
panded directly In driving a 10,000-pound
steam boiler It would be enough to hurl It ,
into the air more than two miles.
Several of the journals of the engineer
ing profession devote considerable spars
to a discussion of methods for the pre
vention of boiler explosions. Those dis
cussions take the form of correspond
ence school lessons in boiler operation. It
Is pointed out that much of the danger
done to steam boilers In through careleas
firing at times' when the boilers are not
in actual operation. When a factory is
fired up In the morning before beginning
operations It is usually uone by the night
watchman, not by me engineer force.
The watchman knows but little about the
principles of boiler operation. There is
a movement on foot among the engineers
of the country to have all state legisla
tures enact laws requiring all operators
of steam boilers to be licensed before
they can qualify as engineers.

Two extremes to be avoided by a woman
who Is furnishing a room, bs it a chamber
I or formal reception, are confusion of colors
'and monotony. If there were any rule
I which might be laid down, homely houses
j would cease to exist, but one can only give
'generalisations. Be It said, however, that
1 a woman will find It more than worth while
'to buy wall papers, upholstery materials
.and the like at places where the salesman's
taste can be relied upon. It l a pity, when
spending money, not to get the best results
from it and this Is possible only when one
has professional advice or unusual natural
taste.
A color scheme being arranged for .the
living room ol a simple houne is chiefly
brown. The room Is square, and has a
mantel piece. The wsod work Is plain, and
painted white.
On the walls is to be put a plain paper,
almost cafe au lalt In shape. . It has a
decided crepe finish, which prevents the
surface being flat and entirely differen
tiates It from cartridge. A couch and three
side chairs are to be done in a silk and
linen material, striped In self colors, which
vary from brown to cream, ths whole hav
ing a moire effect.
So far the scheme is utterly lacking in
design of vlvedness and If continued would
jglve a most uninteresting room. Relief and
color will be intioduced by the use of a
printed linen, tba design of which is bold
In execution, and carried out In dull blues,
old reds and very little gren. The ground
of ths linen Is coffee color, and has a tiny
sel-pattn suggestive of old rhlnts.
Wers ths whole room done in this the
eys would bs positively daxxled. but it Is to
bs used on a large chair which Is entirely
upholstered, on a cushion for a black ih
bench, and for cushions for two wicker
chairs.
So is ths brown furniture lightened, and
that the walls may not be sombre the linen
will bs employed as window hangings, go
ing straight to ths sills, finished at the top
with short valanees.
This room is an excellent exaropl of
combining plain effects with bold patterns.
Striking as is ths linen, ths coffee color
grbund "binds" it to the prevailing brown,
so that all harmonise and do not conflict
This is a point to be remembered In all
furnishing that while striking combina
tions are desirable, there must be one color
which la dominant and to which ail others
must conform. ,
