NEW PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED 



"Superheated Stea}n in Locomotive Service,'' 

 by W. F. M. Goss, has just been issued as Bulletin 

 Nci. 57 of the Engineering Experiment Station of 

 the L'niversity of Illinois. It jjresents, in al)ridged 

 form, tlie information whicli originally appeared 

 as Bulletin 127 of the Carnegie Institution of 

 Washington. 



The use of high temperature steam in locomotive 

 service represents an important development of 

 modern practice. I'ulletin No. 57 gives tlie results 

 of a study of recent German ])ractice in the use 

 of superheated steam, and the results of an elabo- 

 rate series of tests made upon an American loco- 

 motive. The conclusions are to the effect that the 

 use of superheated steam introduces no serious 

 difficulties, that it brings about a material saving 

 in the use of coal and water, and that it supplies 

 the means whereby the power capacity of an 

 ^\merican locomotive may be readily increased. 



Copies of Bulletin No. 57 may be obtained upon 

 application to W. F. M. Goss, Director of the 

 Engineering Experiment Station, University of 

 Illinois, Urbana, Illinois. 



The thirteenth edition of the yearly sugar re- 

 port of El Hacedado Mcxicano, just received, con- 

 tains the names and addresses of all the sugar 

 factories in Mexico, Central America, South 

 America, Porto Rfco, Cuba, Hawaii Isles, Java 

 and Philippines. Although not without diflficulty, 

 owing to the disturbed state of the country, the 

 editors have been able to publish the individual 

 production of the planters in Mexico. The total 

 amount of sugar produced during last year's 

 grinding season was about 2,000 tons in excess 

 of their estimation.
