The London Graphic for Dec. 22d reports the work of the ‘‘Camps Li- bra; which sends out to men in service 60,000 books a week. Some of the letters received give an idea of what reading matter means to those at the front “The very sight of an English book brings visions of home and to drop across a favorite author is like meet- ing an old friend”; ‘For my rades and myself, it is tmpossible to write our feelings down on paper, af- ter so long away from civilization, to find those things waiting for us and from the land of our dreams.” One man wrote from Mesopotamia: *“We {have had a glorious summer, with fruit everywhere, as if this were the ( Garden of Eden, itself.

A modern instance of the capacitig of the mythopoetic instinct, even in short time, is the New York career of the current potentate, Mr. Leon Trof. E We hear that he spent his daw furiously writing editorial articles, three different papers (and as fu ously quarreling with their editor from time to time), and his nights organizing and talking to the discom tented; and that simultaneausly hs spent his days rolling ciga in ¥ Yorkville factory and his nights as & waiter at a hotel.

Still wilder stories were told of the past, present, or future visit of thd Grand Duchess Tatiana, concerning whose whereabouts and doings therg seems to be some real mystery asjga from the productians of eager pressg agents. Whether Tatiana came andy went, or is still with us, or is shiyers ing over the radiator of the furnished apartment in Tobolsk, the very naturg® of the romances about her and about Trotzky form an illuminating coms mentary on the altered spirit of thgs times. New York has always been.a snug harbor for the tempest-driv kings and liberators, but their hai are changing. Joseph Bonaparte cul- tivated the soil and literature in the Sabine suburbanity of Jersey; Clems enceau practiced his profession in Twelfth street, and taught the Frengh language to a seminary of young la- dies. But Trotzky elected to dwell in the Bronx, surely no suitable habitat for the man destined to sit on half tig and Catherine; and Tatiana, if the stories current had any basis in fact, was headed straight fer the movi Nothing to Worry About.

Cold, placid, incom- pressible water becames a raging fiend, wresting valves and pistons from its path only to fall exhausted, shrinking back to its former cold se- renity. Mighty shattering guns and deadly torpedoes are jack-in-boxes beside the caged Titan, Steam. First step, fill boiler—overgrown tea pot that it is, with spout leading to engines.

H20 is the scientific name for the rank and file of this vast horde, whose numbers are stupendous beyond conception.

The teeming host awakes. At 212 deg. F. the heat be- comes unbearable. First a few, then a million, and finally whole myriads of frantic atoms leap from the liquid and clamor for escape.

The Navy slogan is, “Make every ounce of and every pint of water count!" Since Watt and Fulton, engineers, have studied steam and how to make the ounces count. Their research is not vet half done.

In figuring coal economy and cruising radius it makes a huge dif- ference whether one steams at high or low speeds, at great or small pres-¢* sures. Using 200 lbs. of steam will get you home for a holiday while 205 Ibs. may strand you with empty bunk- ers hull down at sea. There is steam steam, superheated drawn steam, and a dozen other kinds, depending on the amount of heat and solid, water carried and thg way it behaves in an engine. ThaW hammering in your radiator is wet steam which has gathered a battering ram of water. A cast steel cylinder head six feet in diameter has been popped off by a water hammer like the cap off an over-live bottle of root beer. Dry hot steam is most After leaving boilers the vapor again heated and dried, then carried engineward by pipes bandaged to re- n the heat. Theoretically one pound of coal can evaporate 14 Ibs. of water. The working average not over 8 lbs. Space occupied by steam depends on pressure. At 1 Ib. pres- sure 1 1b. of water vapor occupies 337 cu. ft. At 1,000. Ibs. pressure tha same steam is squeezed into half cubic foot. The higher the pressure the greater the excited energy of tho malecules. The dryer the steam the more molecules have been goaded in to action, Whence it follows that dry hot steam the proper engine diet In a perfect thermos bottlegsteam could be stored like any othef form of cancentrated energy. Some day ships and planes shall take their pro- pulsive force aboard in small tanks and batteries, one per day allowance. One great factory shall smoke in the heart of a desert to supply power pel lets to the world. Steam as we know it is water fomented by heat to a tur- bulent vapor. But light, electricity, radium emanations, and all othep manifestations of force may each be considered the ebullient product of some matter whose molecules have been set spinning either by heat or by some other agent.
