We left Mrs. Dickson's and I came to Aunt Harriet's for a day or two before I go home. Tom escorted ua back, aa It was on his way to New York. I had answered some of Jim Con nors' letters and mentioned that we ex pected to return at that time and be was at the boat landing to meet us. Tom ws terribly Irritated, but I didn't mind seeing him there in the least It seems to me thst th men I know ars always ,so sur prised that I know any other man than themselves. Jim said, when he gut a chance to apeak to me a moment alone, that he had Intended coming over to apend the 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 one's feelings. Tom has a way of not saying a word when any other man Is M. usually a hasty departure. His shtitude says. "Work away, "my. good fellow; I don't have to." He had the advantage over poor Jim this time, as he was stay ing at Aunt Harriet's for that night, and as we went In and he prepared to carry Ik ti' "TOM WAS FRIGHTFULLY AGGREYAT 1NG." wltto me at the same time, which always goads the other man to desperation and "I TOLD HIM I THOUGHT HE WAS PERFECTLY SWEET." my suit case upstairs for me Jim and I 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 boy, who wanted a wooden horse one 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- seemed too bad that just because he was a few years older he should hsve wanted grees. After thus being treated the gases a girl Instead of a wooden horse. I told j become super-heated steam and In this I form are Introduced into the boiler Itself. 1 where they are utilized with the steam i otherwise made, In driving the cylinder. While not yet tested under ic.ua. work- I "-vFaka, I mm ing vomlltons, It Is bellervl by many tint 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.

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. , Uf I.qval Wit.
