THE CONSTRUCTION or CHIMNEYS,


Much trouble is experienced every
where with smnky chimneys, but more
~ some parts ofnur country than i'm 9th.
crs. Thus We have been Informed hy

'ha, 40 part "t his business bothered

plans of constructing them, u improve

H""e Of ;hem dew we'll, aud he would
IKE 1" know the reason why. A smo-
Ky ci'mreyis certainly a great intlic.
ton. and we pity ali those who suffer
from such an evil Cne question 10 he
considered in building chimney is it's
ioight. The principle involved in this
i, 'iho greater the hight, the better the
drn't." Why Because, when the col.
U'nu Of air is forced out Of q chimney
by the smoke, the vertical pressure a.
-gainst the ascending smoke, is removed
IN proportion to the increased heigh, Of
the chimney.
Tho testimony Of mechanical and civ
Il Engineers resp"ctiug tho chimneys Of
. steam boats, aud those of factories, is u
inform IA regard to an increase Of ele-
vut!on, and this opinion is founded on
scientific daia. .'- '
Bat another principle is also involved
in tho CONSTRUCTION of chimneys. namely
that of maintaining the heat of the snake
"r combustion gases, until they make
iEeir ext, AZ the chimney top. The as.
cunding force of smoke or heated as,
an chimney. is jnst according 10 the
difference Of density between it aud the
cslmm-. of air outside cleva, IN at tho
temperature Of the smoke above that of
the air.
BY reducing the temperature Of tho
gases in a'chimney IN that ofthc air out.
side, its druIt may be entirely destroyed.
This explains the cause Of retarded
L,att il new and damp chimneys, and
hnes, also in tall factory chimneys, in
we: weather tho moisture ahsu,hs the
heat nf the gases rapidly, and reduces
their ascension force. The advantages
of a tall chimney. may the, efore be null
ltied by the rapid cooling Of the gases
III it, during thcir ascent.
There is avariety Of opinions respect

The steamer Panama, from San Juan,
