✦ Synopsis

The report of Mr. E. M. Hugento.bler, expert in charge of the steam boiler tests at the Centennial, to Mr. John S. Albert, Chief of the Bureau of Machinery, is now going through the press, and will cover about 200 octavo pages. It contains all the logs or records of observation, taken with much detail, and otherwise bears evidence of much painstaking in making the tests.

Through the courtesy of Mr. Albert, we have been furnished with a copy of the proof-sheets of the report, from which the following is an extract.

The tables on pages 108 and 109, containing some of the more important results, are compiled from more extended tables, of which there is a separate One for each boiler. In these latter there is also a column of the results of the " Capacity Test " of each boiler, but as the "Economy Test " is of more value to the steam user, only the last need be given here.
