Generation of Steam-Fuel-Snving-Ap
Iiau 10 Steamboats,. &c.

We have Just examined at the Office, 1872 Broad
way, the model Of an adaptation OF D. Griffin y
Co.'S. Patent Heat Generator to Steamboats,
which seems calculated to work n revolution IN
Steamboat as the original is rapidly doing IN sta
tiouarv Steam Engines. The advantages TO be
realized from the new application are not confined
TO the mere saving of fuel though that must tenold
repay the COS, OF applying all the steamboats,
now IN existence. twill al the same diminish the
danger from explosions or of fires and utterly do
away the present peril of coniagraticns or personal
injuries from sparks, cndcrs, &c. as not spark
will pass out oi the smoke pipe of the boat which
has adopted this Improvement An adaptation OF
the same To Locomotive Engines is now IN pro
gress which will be still more conducive to the
safety OF villages, buildings and forests traversed
BY Railroads. aud to the personal comfort OF pas
sengers by utterly abohshing the spark and cinder
nuisance at the same time that 1t ensures large
saving OF fuel We shall speak farther OF this at
another time.
We visited yesterday the steam Chelsea Mills
ofMessrs Cummings on cath ST near Tenth avenue.
to the boiler of which Col Grhin's Heat Genera
tor has Just been applied Its operation is mos,
satisfactory TO the proprletors and engineer. We
learned from them that the present consumption o.
fuel is Just about the amount OF pea and dust
coal costing S24 per ton that was formerly requir
ed of Broken and Nut, costing 81! per By al
easy regulation of the blowing apparatus, as much
or as little steam as is required can be made with q
consumption Of fuel accordingly Less attention Is
required to manage the fire and engine now and nc
fuel is wasted in heating the chimney and out
doors The exposure o. the trema,i to heat is also
| less than before.
We have before us letter from the Warden
Clerk and Superintendent OF the Maryland Penn
Tertiary who visited this City last winter expressly
to examine this apparatus and, having done SO
purchased the right to use it in the Pententiary-
OF its operation, they now write,
I'VE had previously of the oldashioned furnaces
the consumption OF which, during the six working day
OF each week was 5000 lbs. OF Anthracite Lump Coal
costing IS per Our consumption during the saIn
number OF days with Sesbury's Psert Heat Generate
is ;464 lbs OF Pea Cosl costing So, per ac,ua
saving OF nearly 10 per cent in quantity and $t in tn
cost OF the Coal consumed making aggregate within
fraction OF 80 per cent
Similar to this is the certificate OF MeSsrs Chs
pin Il Root Albany who state their saving on III
Tivoli Factory as al least third ii not oneha
what it cost US TO make steam in the old way.
An abundance Of certificates like these hav
been sent to the proprietor and the Patent Hea
Generator is being rapidly adopted In tactorie:
steam mills, &c. throughout the country We nus
its adaptation TO Locomotives and Steamboat Boil
ers will be equally benefcen, snd triumphant

Improvement for Railroads.

We have examined the working model OF re
cent invention intended to prevent accidents on
Railroads. which seems to US well worthy the at
tention OF all Interested Its object the arresting
of the speed OF Locomotives and Trains by n mere
touch of the Engineers hand whenever this IS
rendered expedient by an obstruction on the track

the sort. The purpose Is affected by clampius the
Rail, not merely under the Locomotive, but under
all the cars il the train, SO TO bring the whole
from the swtest speed a dead sand-still III the
course OF few seconds The apparatus is simple.
cheap, and may outlast a dozen trains Of cars for
aught we can see. If there be any defects in or
objections to IT, their discovery must be left 10
hawk.eyed engineers and men OF science; We
could not detect them. We trust the right sort OF
people viii scrutinize this invention thoroughly and
speedily, for II seems 20 calculated 70 save a
good many lives and large amount OF property

The Price ol CnrneI..

a correspondent of the Evening Post gives the
following as the comparative price of Carpets last
Spring and at present:
Price Spring 1916 Price dug. "a, 1916

superhne so to IS bad pat CT, good do. .6
Extra fine. average Us average 90.

Thus il will be that instead of falling Oh OF %
per cent as pretended by the Express they only
about 10 per cent less than last spring prices Why the
Wing press should back four years and compare the
prices OF goods then with present prices is easily UNI
dersood 1t but part and parcel OF the system OF dc
cepon too generally practced 10y the Wing press in re,
ference to the operation OF the Tariff.
tits pity that the plainest statement OF Pro
tectionist cannot be understood by Free Trader
The object OF going back four years for n stand
ard wherewith to compare the present prices OF
Carpets was to show what had been the general
effect OF the Protection to American Carpets gwen
by the Tariff of 1879 And since the Post truly al
mits that Carpeting is 20 to - per cent cheap
er in the average than it was when the Tariff OF
40 was imposed and was Is per cent. cheaper
last April prior to any general apprehension OF the
Tariff Of 1896, We think the demonstration that
Protection has aided TO cheaper Carpets to our
consumers very strong one.
