Abstract
LORD RAYLEIGH touches on a most important question (February 18, p. 375), which merits the attention of all interested in the economy of prime movers. Few have troubled themselves with determinations of temperatures and pressures within a steam generator. Ebullition means work, and the performance of work involves cooling; hence the temperature of steam in the steam space of any boiler is lower by several degrees than the temperature of the steaming water. I have failed to find any record of this important truth, and shall be glad to know if my observations have been anticipated.
