This workis especially severe on the eyes of theoperators, but if the flues can be se-curely welded to tlie flue sheets in thisway beyond the possibility of leaking,it would be a gain of inestimable value,not only in the construction of an aux-iliary superheater, but in securing fluesto flue sheets generally.

As may beimagined, the use of the shell so con-structed was to act as a reservoir forthe steam while passing from the drypipe to the steam pipes, the flues al-lowing the gases from the topass through and adding whatever ex- spring leaves and pressed into enduringfastness at one heat. The skilled work-men become practically mere specta-tors of the modern process of machineforging. In passing along the far stretchingrailway, which rivals the Canadian Pa-cific in approacliing 10,000 miles in. .\T S.\N length, a stranger cannot fail to bestruck with the clocklike exactness ofthe arrival and departure of stories we have heard of Westerntrains running four or five days behindtime fall into their proper province asromances in view of our experience onthe Santa Fe. An Eastern watch as itfalls behind time as we approach theland of the setting sun can be safelyset by watching the names of the sta-tions and referring to the Santa Fetime tables.
