of given pressure and temperature, at a given
rate and. What amount of heat energy may be
counted on as available in unit weight of super-
heated steam of given pressure and temperature?
Other papers read were "Design of Engines for

Commissioner Bassetl presented the requisition
to the board."How much do you require?" asked the Mayor.
"Only a trifle more than the old Rnpld TransitCommission cost." replied the commissioner. Then
he named the figure.
"Do you call $1,000,000 only a trifle?" inquired the*
Commissioner Bassett replied thai, while theml—lnnrr Bassett rer'.wt that, arhile the
amount itself was not a trifle. It was only about$200,000 a year more than the Rapid Transit Com-
mission used to cost, and that body had much
fewer duties than the Public Service Commission.
The purposes for which the money Is required are

Railroad Company et al was brought for tlif solepurpose of freeing tbe Illinois Central from UnionPacific control, and has thus far succeeded, andwill, as Ia,m advised and believe, succeed to theend. If the proposition that no railroad corpora-tion ran vole stuck of ant-- other railroad of Illi-nois should thereby be acain established, it willnot affect the Illinois Central adversely. As thoseof its directors who signed the circular of No-vember 17 ought to know. If they do not. theIllinois Central lons bro bought outright the rail-road property and franchises of every railroad cor-poration in Illinois of which it owned a singleshare, excepting only the Booth Chicago Railroadand the Blue Island Railroad. The former is livemiles in length and the bitter is four, and theIllinois Central owns, \u25a0••\u25a0 IIis expressly authorisedby law to own. all of the shares and all of thebonded indebtedness of both.
