ON AN IMPROVED METHOD OF CON,STRUCTING-
& STOKING THE FURNACES TIL4 14LN.S7

(By Mr. James Taylor, Moorfield Tjletforkst Kilmarnock,

Facto) to the Duke of Portland.)

Mr. Taylor's original paper on the manufacturing of drain-
tiles (for which the society's gold medal was awarded) will be
found in vol. xii. p. 27, of the Transactions, and to which the
following communication forms an addendum. Tnc increas-
ing demand for drain-tiles, and consequent competition in its
manufacture, has stimulated those engaged in it to arrive at
the utmost economy in the cost of production ; and it having
been assumed that the constrUctiOn of furnaces would ma-
terially affect the expense in the article or fuel, much ingyiry
has been set on foot, and expepsiye 'experiments eopd#ted,
with a view to ascertain the best method of applying this
expensive agent. Hitherto, it is believed, reduction in the
expense of fuel has been but partially successful, A corn,
munication, therefore, on this point, coming from a person
of experience, and giving his own actual experience of the
improvement, will, no doubt, be duly appreciated.
Mr. Taylor's communication is expressed in the following
terms :—" The following brief description of my economical
method of burning tiles, and the advantage of it compared
with the methods generally adopted in this part of the coun-
try, may not be unwelcome. The main point of this method
consists in adapting the furnaces of the kiln to produce a
greater effect from a given quantity of fuel than by the old
system ; but I hayp also found that a large portion of the
fuel may consist of refuse of coal, or as itip'cotinonly called
coom. To effect this end, grate or furnace bars of the tom
usually adopted in engine and other furnaces arc fitted into
the fire places of the kiln, which are further assimilated tp
ordinary furnaces by being fitted with closing doors. The
height of the ashpit, or space between the floor of the stoking
vault, and the furnace door-sole I make 15 inches, and its
width 12 inches. The dour-frame, which may be set about 6
inches square, through which the fuel is thrown into the fur-
nace. The two sleepers, which support the bars, are each 18
inches in length, to allow their ends being fixed in the walls,
and are placed the first at the distance of six inches, the other
at twenty four inches from the door-frame ; on these sleepers
are laid seven fintme-hars of eighteen inches in length, a
dumb plate of six in breadtb, filling up the space be-
tween the ends of the bars and the door-frame. Beyond the
grates thus formed, there is a space of one foot of'dgmb wall,
and in this space the furnaces are contracted uniformly in
width to nine inches at their entrance into the kiln, while
their height is uniformly augmented from the door inward,
till, at the entrance to the kiln, they are twenty-six inches in
height, and their sole one foot above the level of the inside
floor. Fire-places of the above-description, when culin is
used for fuel, are more powerful, and the temperature more
easily regulated, than in those where the fires are placed on
the ground, and allowed to choke up till the fire-places are
full. The furnaces are cleared two or three times during the
process of burning; and as none of the fuel is allowed to go
into the inside of the kiln, there is less risk of the tiles being
vitrified and twisted than in the common form, where the
burning fuel frequently comes in contact with the tiles lying
near the entrance of the fire-places.
" It is of great importance in burning tiles, that the heat
should ascend regularly through the whole kiln, and tile-
burners have experienced much difficulty in regulating this
point. One or two of the fires may sometimes burn slowly,
while those on either side of them may burn freely. If this
evil is not wholly obviated by using the grate, the remedy is
at least rendered easy of application ; for, by opening one inch
more or less of the doors on each side of the dull fires, the
draft is considerably increased in them, and their action is
equalized to that of the others, Should the temperature ap-
pear to be too high in any of the furnacos, the doors of those
have only to be opened a small space, which will check the
increase of heat. In this way, the door of each furnace can
be made to act as a regulator for its own fire, as well as to
act upon those immediately adjoining.
" The coal required to burn a kiln containing twenty-five
thousand tiles, constructed on the old plan, cost, at the pit,
£3 12s. The quantity of fuel that I require to burn the
same kiln, by the new method, and its cost at the pit, are,
2 1-10th tons coal, at 5s 10d per ton £o 12 3
10 tons of cuirn, at is 3 per ton
being a saving of £2 7s 3d on the burning of a kiln, or nearly
two shillings per thousand tiles.— Quarterly Journal of Agri-
culture for June, 1839.

NAVEL SWEEPSTAKES.—A sweepstakes, which was en-
tered into last year, was decided a few days since, at the Old
Angel Inn, Woolhampton, close to the sent of the Earl of
Falmouth, in Berkshire. The person who produped 12 Swede
turnips of the greatest weight, collectively, was to receive the,
stakes. The Earl of Falmouth carried off the prize by pro-
ducing 12 turnips averaging nearly 91bs. each. The follow-
ing is a list of the subscribers, with the weight of their
respective productions of 12 Swedes each ;—The Earl of Fal-
mouth, 1051bs ; Mr. Houghton, of Swing Hill, 8211b5.; Mr.
Rivers, of Brimpton, 811bs. ; Mr. Reynolds, of Brimpton,
74-ilbs.; Mr. Hickman, of Aldermaston, 67ilbs.; and Mr.
Buckeridge, of Oare Farm, 491bs. A sweepstakes of ten
shillings each, to be similarly decided, is now open to all
England, to be closed on the Ist of May next, and to be de-
cided in the month of November following.
GREEN OCK. —TERRIBLE EX PLOSIgN.—,A.I3OIII a quarter-
past eight o'clock on Saturday morning, the inhabitants in the
neigbourhood of Holmscroft brewery were alarmed by a
strange noise, followed by the falling of the brew-house. On
investigation it was found that the boiler, which was on the
ground floor, had exploded and
gone right through the roof
of the house, a height of four stories, and alighted in a field
120 feet distant. When the explosion took place, Mr. Wal-
lace, the brewer, and his assistant, were standing immediately
under the mash-tun in the third flat, and how they escaped
with their lives is a miracle to every one, and to none snore
than t 4, themselves. When the steam and dust cleared away,
Mr. Wallace was seen walking up the field in which the
boiler lay, but how he got there he has not the most distant
idea. The under-brewer, who was talking with him when
the explosion took place, was dragged out from under the
ruins. He was very severely scalded. A man was working
in a drain within ten feet of the boiler when it blew up, and
the stones of the building fell around him, but without hurt-
ing him. Another man was slightly injured by some of the
stones. It happened fortunately that nearly all the workmen
were engaged in the yard, at a considerable distance from the
brew-house, otherwise many lives would in all likelihood
have been lost. Several of them had been engaged about the
mash-tun only a few minutes before. What is not a little
singular, Mr. Wallace's shoes were forced off his feet by
some means, and have not since been seen ; his hat, too,
which was on his head at the time, was found on the follow-
ing day among the ruins very much cut, and a thermometer
which he held in his hand was got at a considerable distance
from the spot. A snore remarkable escape than Mr. Wallace
made has, rarely if ever occurred. The mash-tun under
which he stood is now buried in the ruins, and a large copper
in a higher flat, containing 30 or 40 barrels of
with boiling wate
whole
r,
was torn to pieces. In short, the house, the
brewing utensils, are completely destroyed.—Greenock

Tait CaicKET..—ThOse .who have attended to the habit;
of the hearth cricket (Gryllus domesticus) know that it

passes the hottest part of tlka summer in sunny situations,
concealed in the crevices of walls, and heaps of rubbish. It

quitsits summer residence about the end of August, and
fixes its residence by the fire-side of the kitchen or cottage,
where it multiplies its species, and is as merry at Christmas
as others in the dog-days. Thus do the comforts of a warm
hearth afford the cricket a safe refuge, not from death, but
from temporary torpidity ; which it can support for a long
time, when deprived by accident of artificial warmth. If a
colony of crickets, for example, be deprived, in winter, of
the usual warmth of the fire around which they are esta-
blished for some weeks, they will all disappear into their holes
and hiding places ; but no sooner is the fire re-lit, and warmth
diffused, then the crickets again begin to bestir themselves;
and shake off their torpor.

SUGAR.—Sugar is one of the most ancient productions of
India; Its Sanscrit name, sukkhar, is obviously the origin of
its European designation, as sukkhar kundis of sugar candy.
The cultivation of the vine was introduced into the south of
Europe by the Saracens ; it was extended to the Canaries by
the Portuguese, and from thence it was taken to Hispanolia
by the Spaniards in the year 1506. Nowhere have the ef-
fects of the introduction of new vegetables into favourable
localities been more remarkable than in the coffee and cane
plantations of the West Indies ; and nowhere has the import-
ance of selecting the best species for cultivation been more
fully manifested, The introduction of the Bourbon and
Otaheite canes, instead of those descended from the original
stock imported from the Canaries, produced a complete re-
volution in West India property about the close of the last
century. It was -not until lately that this cane was intro-
duced into the West Indies ; but it has spread rapidly, and
the climate all over India seems adapted to it. A com-
parison between the sugars of the East and West Indies is an
excellent illustration of the great importance of culture.
Indeed, it will generally be found that acclimated plants at-
tain' greater perfection in the country where they have been
adopted, than in that of which they were originally the na-
tives ; as, for instance, pulse, potatoes, garden fruits, &c. ;
and the reason is sufficiently plain : in their new country
great attention is paid to their culture—in their native land
too much confidence is reposed in spontaneous production.

Wln' WON'T THE WHIGS BUILD SHIPS?-It seems to us
a most extraordinary thing, that whilst every one admits the
necessity of England's maintaining a ilaVy op a scale more
extensive and efficient than any other country in the world;
and whilst all parties exclaim that they would be delighted if
more money were expended op repairing and extending the
wooden walls of (.14 gngland, the ministry should neverthe-
less exhibit such downright reluctance to comply with the
national wish. They cannot deny its expediency, and they
know fall well that no House of Commons would hesitate to
furnish supplies, if demanded for such a patriotic purpose ;
nay, we even think they would become popular by adopting
such a course. Their paid scribes and underlings exhibit
such delight when they point out the repairing of some
rotten guard-ship, and their opponents so clamorously insist
on our navy being rendered more efficient, that we really
think the most popular act the ministry could do, would be
to add at once ten new line-of-battle ships to our fleet.
None would object to this augmentation of our truly national
force, or to the founding varioo establishments for the. Nu,
cation and spbooling of smien, or at leait 'adopting some
improved syseetpfiir manning our navy. It is jolly to say
we have all that we want; circumstances might arise to-
morrow such as to render ten ships a most acceptable addi-
tion to our force; whilst, as we are at present situated, even
though we were to be suddenly presented with such a force,
we could not find men sufficient to man three of them effi-
ciently.—From Fraser's Magazine for December.

How TO GET A TIGHT RING OFF A FlNGER.—Thread a
needle flat in the eye with a strong thread, pass the head of
the needle, with care, under the ring, and pull the thread
through a few inches towards the hand; wrap the long end
of the thread tightly round the finger, regularly, all down to
the nail, to rPtiVIPP its side. Then lay hold of the sot ePti
oft twq Thg thread pressing quit*,
the ring remove it frOm the finger• This
wiethntl will remove the tighteSt ring without
difficulty, however much swollen the finger may be.

A WIFE.—Whon a man of sense comes to marry, it is a
companion that he wants, not an artist. It is not merely a
creature who can paint or play, and sing and dance ; it is a
being who can comfort and judge, 'discourse and discriminate ;
one who can assist him in his affairs, lighten his sorrows,
purify his joys, strengthen his principles, and educate his
children. Such is the woman who is fit for a mother and
the mistress of a family. A woman of the former description
occasionally figures in the drawingrroPm, 444 attra,94 thu

SAGAOITY OF THE AItAU HORSH.—Nothing can exceed
the attachment that exists between the poor Arab and his
horse, often his whole stock of wealth. The mare and her
foal inhabit the same tent with his family, and are caressed
by all. The body of a mare is often-the pillow of her mas-
ter, and more frequently of his children, who roll about
upon her and the foal without the least risk. The kindness
thus engendered is returned by the mare in many of those
situations when the life of the child of the desert depends
only on the sagacity, and swiftness of his faithful courser.
When the Arab falls wounded from his mare, she will

NEW MODE Or EXTINGUISHING FIRES.—At a lecture
on combustion, delivered at the Mechanics' Institution at
Cheltenhan, on Monday, Mr. E. W. Wells, chemist of that
town, brought forward two plans which he suggested for ex-
tinguishing the largest fires in a very short time. After ex-
plaining that a common combustion could not be supported
without a supply of oxygen; be stated that his first plan of ex-
tinguishing consisted in shutting out the supply of oxygen in
the following manner :—" For instance, iron plates with a
inporablitiMe compressible substance projecting frem
the edges; might be erected nainst the wilicldvo4 and doors,
•and sustained by inclined poles ; the oxygen of the interior of
the house being only one-fifth of the whole air, would be im-
mediately absorbed, and none in addition being admitted, the
combustion would inevitably cease." The lecturer by means
of lighted candles placed in large glass vessels, proved the
correctness of this theory. The next plan was to suffocate
the flames by carbonic gas. He recommended the construc-
tion of a large machine, capable of containing one ton of car-
bonate of lime, a proportion of water, and about half-a-ton
of sulphuric acid ; the contact of these materials being regu-
lated by valves and tubes, an immense quantity of carbonic
gas could be generate 4 and PoilVeYP4l4 its awn preTire tq

before the government, and if be could get no assistance from
that quarter, to form a joint-stock company to construct the
machines described.—lnventor's Advocate.

A new discovery is said by the Industriel Alsacien to have
been made ; which, if the experiments which are now mak-
ing prove it to be correct, is very important. It is said that
by a certain chemical preparation or process, indigo can be
obtained from the saw-dust of the oak tree ; and that the
indigo thus obtained, presents upon analysis, all the proper-
ties of the indigo from the tropics. The experiments are
carried on in a village in the neighbourhood of Alskirch.
QPPLATION FOR THE CURE OF WRY NECK.—The Lancet
contain§ a report pf a repont operation by Dr, F, Snaith, of
Boston, for the cure of ivvy lieek! The doctor first passed
the operating knife underneath, and then cut, in an outward
direction, the tendinous portion of the sterno,cleide-mastoid-
muscle. The patient described the sound produced to him,
in cutting the tenden, like that of breaking sticks across the
knee, and at the moment of dividing it, he felt excruciating
pain. The operation occupied scarcely a quarter of a minute,
and not more than two or three drops of blood followed. The
side, which had previously been depressed upon the shoulder,
bobbed up, like an automaton ffgure suddenly set in motion.
The wound caused by the introduction of the knife healed the
next day, and in three days the patient was enabled to resume
his usual employment. He has now the natural position of
the head without any effort, and the defect is perfectly cured.

WoNnEaFtm CLOCKS.—Two very extraordinary clocks
were, some time since presented by the East India Com-
pany to the Emperar of China, being
--t-fre4Y manufactured
by English artists. They were in the form of chariots, each
of which contained a lady seated, leaning her right hand on
a part of the chariot, under which was a clock little larger
than a shilling, that struck, repeated, and went for eight
days without winding up. A bird was on the lady's finger,
finely modelled, and set with diamonds and rubies, with its
wings expanded as if to fly, and which was made to flutter
for a considerable time on touching a diamond button. The
body of this curious bird, in which were the wheels that ani-
mated it, was less than the sixteenth part of an inch. In
the lady's left hand was a golden tube, with a small round
box on the top, to which was fixed a circular ornament set
in diamonds, which went round in three hours. A double
umbrella was over the lady
s head, supported by a small
'
fluted pillar, and under, which was a bell that struck the
hour, though apparently unconnected with the clock ; and at
the lady's feet was a golden dog, before which were two birds,
set with precious stones, and apparently flying away with the
chariot, which, from another secret motion, is contrived to
run in any direction, while a boy appears to push it forward:
There were also flowers, ornaments, and a flying dragon, all
set with precious stones, or formed of them, and the rest was
made of gold most curiously executed, and presenting a won-
derful specimen of ingenuity and talent,
