Our learned chemists have lately discov-
cred thai IN making or smelling iron, not
less than one eighth Of al the heat goes
IN waste; only one eighth being really made
syailsble for the extnestion Of the metal
from fs stony matrix. Wha, o sad waste
: Of good fuel is here what a provoking
mode OF diving money out Of ones pocket
So thought Mr Budd. Of the istslyfura iror
works, in Wales. lie found that the heal
which escapes from an iron furnace is real
ly as high as that Of melting brass and b'
pondered how be might compel this hca
TO render solue Of It's useful services. liz

about to escape at the top of the furnace
he gently cn,ieed it 10 pass through chan
mel or pipe which bent downwards AM

machine for the furnace. A clever devic'
this; for this sconomised caloric heaie'

and there was saving Of three hundre
and ifty pounds in one year In the fuel Q
one boiler alone. Mr. Budd told all abou
tins TO the British Association, AT Swansct
in 1919; and in Edinburgh, in le50, h
was able 70 tell them much more. He sta

10 the Dundyysn works, in Scotland. TIL
coal used in the Scotch works is Of such
kind, that the wasted heat from onr fln
mace is believed TO be enough TO heat ul
air for the hot t-blss,, and 70 work the blai
engine for three furnaces. Mr. 3udd ST
ted that his plan enabled the Dundyva
proprietor to sfnoii ore with n ton and
quarter less coal TO ton of IRON than by u

: veritable creation Of something ont Of
