Hall, in further details of his plan for saving one ton
of oo•I oat of throe, with increased warmth and
diminished trouble, by simply placing a thin taste of
sheet iron on the bottom of the tire grate, says
"1 beg to inform your readers, first, that the plates
are daily applicable to large and =loll grates.

why they should not la/leaven years longer. Thirdly,
the cinders falling on the hearth, after poking time

some fire clay), and the ands have been pet in, the
