A new device for furnishing heat in a boiler has just been completed by Prof. S. E. Emswiler of the mechan- ical engineering department. The in- novation is being used in connection with tests on the heat dissipation of pipes, and consists of a modified form of electrical heater which can be placed inside a small boiler. Owing to the fact that tests are often conducted in places where it is either impossiblo or undesirable to use high steam from other sources, this small boiler and heater can be brought into operation on account of the ease with which it can be trans- ported and started up. The final trial of the apparatus is still in progress, but thus far the re- sults have been very satisfactory and there is little doubt that it will be- come a standard device for testing raidiators and heating pipes.

Mr. Sothern has agreed to appear in three Vitagraph pictures, after which he will retire to private life in Eng- land, with his wife, Julia Marlowe. Mr. Sothern will be supported by the charming English actress, Peggy Hy- land. Blake Waring, a financier, buys Lelia Bard like a painting. She didn't know it until one night when he called her his chattel. Then to clear her name and the name of her father she pawned her jewels and bought her freedom. Touched by this display of inde- pendence, he sees his wife's sterling qualities; slashes the priceless paint- ing, "The Chattel," and replaces it with a priceless oil painting of his wife. True love had forged his iron will. Dramatic, only as Sothern can make it, finished as his Shakespeare, "The Chattel," is dynamically charged with compelling interest.
