Canadian Pacific.—The cost of repairs to superheater engineson the Canadian Pacific has not shown any serious increase oversimples. Lubrication. The idea that forced feed lubrication was necessary with su-perheated steam proved to be entirely wrong. It is true thatinsufficient oil produces bad results more quickly with super-heated than with saturated steam, but the sight-feed lubricator isequally as satisfactory with the former as with the latter and,in fact, rather better on account of the drop in pressure on ac-count of the steam being wire-drawn in passing through thesuperheater. Satisfactory results are obtained with one feed. krJ-zgk^si-^
