The Leach stoker is a form of sprinkler stoker muchused in Germany and on the Continent, and has shown under a Lan-cashire two-flue boiler a boiler efficiency of per cent. The Frisbieis an American type of sprinkler stoker in which the fuel is fed on acircular grate.

By Charles R. —THE LOCOMOTIVES OF ITALY AND AUSTRO-HUNGARY. Mr. Kings first article, which appeared in the June issue, reviewed the structural andmechanical iieculiarities and the running qualities of the French compounds. A concludingarticle will present a brief study of the latest locomotives of Switzerland, Saxony, Russia,and Northern Europe.—The Editors. NCREASING volume of modern locomotive boilersinterferes with the easy sighting of signals by theengineman, and for this reason on the largest Ameri-can engines built for the French State Railway and inthe latest Bavarian-built engines on the French East-ern Railway, the enginemans place has been trans-ferred to the left-hand side of the cab. The new com-pound engines of the Southern or Adriatic lines of Italy are alsodisposed in this way. Express Compound Engine, Southern Railway of Italy.
