Editor: The method proposed by a corre-spondent in last months Railway andLocomotive Engineering in securely at-taching pistons and crossheads is an ex-cellent device, although it seems to methat it would be somewhat costly; be-sides, in some classes of engines thespace between the crosshead and pistonpacking box is so small that therewould not be sufficient room for thebrass sleeve and large nut as regard to repairing crossheads wherethe piston has drawn the piston rod outf the crosshead, tearing the key. RElAIRS TO A CROSSHEAD. through the end of the boss, we hadseveral cases of that kind on the Brook-lyn Elevated Railroad where we had noengines to spare and something had tolie done speedily. The accompanyingsketch will show how we got over thei!ifficulty. The part back of the key-way, which was torn out, was cut to aV-shaped section, and two pieces ofsteel were carefully fitted in. Awrought-iron ring was then shrunk the two pieces and also pre-venting the crosshead from openingfurther when the piston was attachedand the key driven to its place Ed. , N. Y. Steam vs. Gas. The corporation of Glasgow. Scot-land, have adopted a report from acommittee who have been studying thequestion of the mechanical power to beused in connection with the new sewageworks. The committee recommend the adoption of steam power, not that thegas may not be superior to steam pow
