Heating Apparatus, Belgian Grand Central Railway.* BY E. BELLEROCHE. In the Minutes of the Procef dings of the St. Petersburg Meetingof the International Railway Congress there is a description of thesystem of heating passenger trains which was examined andadopted by the Belgian Grand Central Railway. It will be remembered that the system consists essentially of cir-. Car Float-Transverse Section,culating hot water along the train and back again, starting fromand returning to the engine. The circuit consists of two parallel pipes all along the train whichare fixed in tbe floors of the carriages, one being for the flow, andthe other for the return ; they are connected on the last carriageby a tail pipe which turns the current back into the return pipe. A range of radiators is connected centrally and perpendicular^to each of the pipes, and lies in the same plane as the pipes. Each carriage therefore oontains two sets of radiators suppliedone by the outward pipe and the other by the return pipe. * From a paper published in the Bulletin of the International Railway In this way, a uniform temperature of the heating surfaces in allthe carriages is obtained from end to end of the train, the tem-perature being equal to the mean of the temperatures of theradiators. The current of water taken from the tender is heated, and causedto circulate either by a smal
