The William Carter Co. announced Monday that Joseph Pacifico, Charles Whetzel and David Brown have accepted senior management positions with Carter's, the world's largest manufacturer of branded children's apparel. The three were formerly senior executives of the Lee Jeans division of VF Corp. (NYCE:VFC). In accepting the appointments, which are effective immediately, the three executives will report to Frederick J. Rowan II, who was named president and chief executive officer of Carter's late last month. Rowan was formerly chief executive officer at Lee Jeans and a group vice president at VF Corp. (excerpt)

It is no bad evidence of the practical success of superheating steam to find that there are now afloat about 220 vessels of all sizes, from canal boats up to naval cruisers, which are equipped with superheaters. Of these Germany has the credit of having equipped 165 steamers (about 130 for the canals, lakes and rivers of the continent of Europe and for coasting service, some thirty sea-going steamers and four or five...

There are seven or eight different designs of superheaters known to be at work on board steamers fitted in Britain, Germany, America and France, and it is possible there may be one or two others of which the ship owners or their superintending engineers do not wish to publish particulars. Of those known, all but two seem to have been applied to cylindrical boilers, although all but one are capable of application to watertube designs also. The following are the superheater...

Considerable interest attaches to the fact that a large proportion of the experience gained from the use of superheated steam, at the time of its introduction some fifty years ago, was obtained in marine practice. Due to the limited development of boiler construction at that time, the steam pressures used in marine engines were low, and, consequently, the temperatures and range of expansion were low, so that only a moderate amount of superheat could be conveniently applied.

THE most familiar phenomena often contain for us, and may convey, the most profound instruction in the facts of science; but too frequently that is passed by in favor of the utilitarian aspect. For example, the ordinary domestic firegrate is rich in lessons on combustion...
