It is not necessary to recapitulate thedata furnished in this remarkable test, asthose interested will note the significanceof each item separately,—all of value inarriving at a conclusion. In the importantitem of steam economy, which means fueleconomy, it might be emphasized that as shown in the records, the Decapod I - motive developing 2,900 horse-power lbs. of superheated steam per horse-power hour, whereas the Mikado locomo-tive developing the same power, ,showing a saving of 33 per cent in favorof the Decapod locomotive. In this con-nection we should remember that recenttests on stationary engines equipped withthe Corliss gear showed a consumption of16 lbs., the Corliss engine, as is wellknown, not
