An Ingenious device for applying chemicals directly to "water flowing In pipes under pressure la described in a recent number of the Engineering Engineer-ing Nows. The principle of the apparatus ap-paratus consists In so roguiatlng the pressure by mechanical contrivances that the solution is forced through -the feedpipe at a rate always pro-portionnl pro-portionnl to the existing rate of flow -through tho main.
