It is thus not easy to make a really accurate comparison between engines using steam under different conditions. That taking steam at the higher pressure gains an advantage over and above that legitimate- ly due to its greater temperature range. As matters stand, however, the pressures used in turbine plants are practically the of modern in the case reciprocating -engines, being fixed by the Dr de Laval, it is type of boiler used. truc, has, adds Engineering, driven his turbines with steam generated at pressures of 1600 lb. per square inch or more-a feat which it would not be easy to parallel with a reciprocating steam engine; though it must bo borne in mind that somewhat similar pres- sures are reached in the Diesel oil-engine. which is of the reciprocating type. With turbine machinery there is no difficulty in keeping the engine-room clean; and the staff there has certainly its labours much

Even in the less strenuous con- ditions of central-station practice, the sav- ing in oil as compared with a reciprocating engine is equivalent to a saving of at least indicated horse-power 1 lb of steam per hour, whilst at the same time the staff may With be reduced by a half, if not more. these advantages it is certain that large. engine making firms will, as suggested above, be compelled in self-defence to take

LONDON, August 31. The news from the Balkans is conflict ing.
On the one hand, Turkish circles appear more optimistic, and express the hope that the insurrection in the vilayet of Monastir will be crushed in the course of a woek.
On the other hand reports from Sofia declare that the situation is more acute.
The difficulties of the Bulgarian Govern- ment are increasing, as the people resent the efforts of the Government to prevent srmed bands crossing the frontier.
The revolt at Adrianople is so far suc- cessful that the insurgents now occupy all the points on the Black Sea coast.
