A recently patented method of generating steam by means of molien slag is undergoing trial on ap extensive scale at the Broken Hill Proprietary mine, and it is expected that in future all the stem ured on the mine-equal, at present, to about 100 horse-power-will be generated by this method. possessing smelting plants will follow suit. 7he principle of the inventes is exceedingly dimple. A charge of molten slag is enclosed is a steam- tight compartment, and is then played upon by jet of water, witch is instantly converted into steam and passes at once into the boiler. The main dficulty which beat the Inventors was how to renew the charge of alag when its heat had been exhausted. The process will effect an Immense saving in coal, and will be valuable for the speed with which a high pressure of steam can be generated.
