The old-style steel pans cost $, with$ additional for labor applying to en-gine; or in all, $37, or $ more than thecast-iron pan. This, in itself, is a con-sideration in favor of the cast-iron pan;but when you come to take into accountthe difTerence in cost in making repairs quite plain, both on the grounds of firstcost as well as time consumed in makingrepairs. The average life of a sheet-ironash pan is about two years. Mr. Monk-house says he is unable to say what is theaverage life of the cast-iron pan. as henever has succeeded in wearing one of themout, for the first cast-iron pans appliedseven years ago are still in service, andshow no evidence of warping or muchdamage from corrosion. tion was the only perfect device, andthe rotary steam motor not being success, the electric
