Here then is a case where the high-est engineering skill and material have apparently been used, with a view-to securing the highest economy ; where in a word, the conditions are prob-ably more favorable than in three-fourth of railway power stations,taken as they come; and yet the fuel consumption is still some 30 percent greater than might be. This means, for the whole output of theday, pounds more of water to be evaporated, equivalent, as theboiler tests indicate ( pounds of steam per pound of coal) to longtons (2,240 pounds) of coal. Your committee fiiids in the same paper some valuable corroboratedevidence of the great intluence which the character of load has on theefficiency of the engine. In a station where the steam consumption wasfound to
