Having had more than twenty yearspractical experience in the use (often con-jointly) of the English and metric sys-tems, I may be permitted to express anopinion on the subject, if you will affordthe space. What seems to me to govern the utili-tarian capabilities and limit the practicalapplication of a system of metrology, beits origin natural or scientific, is the pos-session of the greatest possible numberof easily comparable working-units for ^^ Air Hose Locomotive Engtif Fig. J PNHUiMATlO fAINT .SlUAYEIt. creased efficiency under high rates ofcombustion is attributed to the use of cor-rugated furnaces, and to the fact that thesefurnaces were fired alternately, the gasesthrown off by the green coal on one sidemingling in the combustion chamber withthe more highly heated gases from thefurnace on the other side. The arrange-ment of the furnaces also provides a largegrate area, which probably, in this caseat least, was favorable to economy. A boiler that behaves so well as thatwhen being forced, deserves to attractmore attention than this one has being forced is the chronic condi-tion of many locomotive boilers all thetime the engines are in front of trains,one which displays 30 per cent, moreeconomy than the common herd is capa-ble of effecting fuel savings that wouldamount to a big sum at the end of theyear.
