SCIENTISTS ON PASSING OF PETROL ENGINE

SMALLER BOILERS BUT MORE POWER.

A belief that the oil age" is passing, and that steam will eventually supersėda the internal combustion engine, wEN HI- pressed by two famous scientists at the annual meeting of the Institute of Mining Engineers at Cardiff.

The Future of coal and steam was discussed

in a paper read by Dr. John S. Haldane (brother of Viscount Haldane)," and the future of oil in a paper by Sir John Cadman. Sir John is technical adviser to the Anglo-Persian Oil Company and chairman of the Inter-Allied Petrol Council.

Some people, said Dr. Haldane, seemed

to believe that the use of cool steam engines

was going to be more or less supersedel.

NOT REMOTE FUTURE

He believed that staan engines in the future, and the not very remote future,

engines to a very great extent. '

In the steam engine they halto jacket every part of it to retain the heat, but in the internal combustion engine they had to adopt other measures to get rid of the best, otherwise the steel would not stand the temperature to which it was subjected. That was a waste of heat energy.

Future development of the steam engine would be along the lines of increased steam pressure, with smaller and lighter engines.

Mr. Sam Mavor, of Glasgow, said that if the same attention had been devoted to the development of steam engines as had been devoted to the internal combustion engine in marine work they would bare hai a. much more efficient engine that at present.

OIL PHASE PASSING?

Sir John Cadnan said, he looked upon oil as a phase which was passing, What oil was doing to-day coal would do again to-morrow, although oil would go into certain channels of use which coal would never be able to regain.

Before the papers were read the medal- of the Institute was presented to Sir William Galloway. Dr. Haldane said that in 1875 Sir William had been able to demonstrate that coal dust was the cause of mine explosions, and subsequently to prove that an initial explosion could raise further dust from the walls and floors of galleries and so spread the explosions to other parts of the mine.

His efforts had been responsible for a "considerable reduction in the loss of life in

mines.

THE TERRACE."

HOW PARLIAMENT KEEPS COOL.

BY CHARLES T. HING.

The House of Commons meets heat Waves with air drawn from the River Thames and cooled by water spray; about 200 Terrace tens a day, with strawberries and dainty green cress sandwiches in the open air; juicy wedges of melon can- taloupe on cracked jee with sugar or pow dered ginger in the lining-rooms; chilled

cups

"of varied minglings in the lounges, and ting jets of cold water eon- tinually shooting across the open win- dows of the debating Chamber.

Many thousands of pounds have been spent on the air, of the House of Com- mons. Lord Randolph Churchill once in- duced the House to adjourn in the middle of the debate owing to the vitiated con- dition of the air. It is the claim noW that the atmosphere of the House of Commons can be entirely changed in siz

minutes.

Along the C80 feet of the river frontage there are 33 openings through which fresh air is drawn into the Palace of West. minster. Part of the floor of the ilebat- ing Chamber is composed of a grid, and the supplies of air, chilled of warned. screened from fog or other London snemies, is sent up into the Chamber from below. There are men down there! who study the

the constantly changing po pulation of the House, and if there ariso to speak one of the few men who draw big assembly of M.P.'s to hear him, the vigilant air steward below turns the valves and sends up additional oxygen.

Those two-superb towers at either end of the great Gothis mass of Westminster are not merely magnificent London Innd marks. They act as channels for draw. ing away the vitiated air. At the base of the Clock Tower there used to burn' a: great furnace. This caused a draught and forced the used air aloft. Most ofl' this work is now done by electric fans.

The Terrace along the river front is on the east side, and therefore is in the full blaze of the moffing sun. Long before teatime, however, it is in the shadow of the great building and on extra hot days it has been cooled by copious Breams of cold water from hose pipes

"

On hot days, when M.P.'s are giving strawberry tone to friends and support cra" up in London, the Terrace is a pleasant nart of the M. P.'s workshop.
