The theory of the setion of these plates may at times be very vague in the minds of the users, but the fact that the plates waste away is often held to be a garanted that in so doing they save the boiler itsel£. This is, no doubt, frequently the case, but, unfortunately, like many other so-called cures, zino is not always successful.

Bearing upon this subject, a number of very interesting experiments have recently been carried out by Professor C. F. Bar less, of the University of Wisconsin, with the object of ascertaining whether similar corrosise results to those found in setual boilers could be produced by means of minute, electric currents" in a laboratory apparatus. Much valuable information is aften gained from such small experimental appliances, and, at any rate, the experi ments wo have described are worthy of very careful attention and of extended re- petition.
