The water is al-lowed to assume the temperature of the room as nearly aspossible, as determined by a thermometer, oxygen ispassed into the bomb until the pressure reaches a prede-termined testing point, and when all the temperature con-ditions are stable and uniform, connection is made betweenthe battery and the platinum fuse, the combustible is ig-nited, and combustion takes place with great rapidity inthe oxygen atmosphere. The air in the bomb becomingheated, the walls of the bomb expand, forcing the liquid inA further up into the tube T, and the maximum pointreached by the water is noted on the scale. The initialpoint having been previously noted, the differences be-tween these readings are compared with the readingsfound by the combustion of pure graphite, or charcoal, [Vol. XV. No. 7. and the relative efficiencies of different fuels are therebyobtained. The whole apparatus is extremely simple, and. OXYGEN CALORIMETER should be quite accurate within desired limits, and the ap-paratus can lie made in any street railway machine shop without great difficulty. Milwaukee Accident Report System The Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Companycarefully classifies all its accidents, both as to their charac-ter and, in the matter of payment, as to the year in whichthe accidents occurred. The classification is as follows: Collision with vehicles. Collision with persons. Collision witli animals. Collision with bicycles. Collision with cars. Cars leaving track. Employees injured when on duty. Center pole accidents. Alighting or boarding moving train. Alighting or boarding stationary car. Fell in, on, or off car. Fell off car on curve. Trouble on account of fare. Disturbance on car. Ejectment from car. Frightened horses. Electric shock to horses. Electric shock to animals. Damage to companys property. Unusual occurrences. Miscellaneous. Power plant. Lighting. In t
