SMOKE-BCRNING FURNACES.

To the Editor Of The NJ Y Tribune.
SIR: Lest our silence should be construed an al
mission of the truth Of allegations contained In
the communication Of Messrs. Case & Soue, in your
paper of the 18th inst and which we regard very
incorrect, we deem short reply thereto necessary
But for this should not again appear rs combaants
in a newspaper warfare, and particularly, as it
may by some, be regarded a. simply contest in re-
spect to- and between, two rival inventions So far
ar invention il concerned do not feel thatit needs
anv labored defense do wish any one to Judge
Of its merits ercept from actual examination Of n in
oD.rdiOR and from this test mover have nor ever
shall shrink. Although we have not found it neces
sary through thick darkness and infringing difficult
ties to slowly drag our idea mp INTO the conscious
mess of the world" still inasmuch our invention
has been brought 10 the knowledge of some small part
Of that world and has been moreover, received with
some favor feel bound 10 that IT is no. msrep
resented and hence, to quote still further the words
Of Messrs. Case & Soule, justice To ourselves, with
out reference TO those who look to for bread i'm
pels II 10 self-defense
As 10 the allegation of Messrs. Case & Soule that
when they that is Mr. Case, was departing after hsv-
ing said there other method than to fight it
ont that N, recalled them, and requested them to
defer any Injunction until fair understanding could
"be obtained-Inay BE- might settle &c., all we
have TO say is this: II iS not trrc ana those who
were present and hesrd the conversation between
Mr.. Gas, and ourselves will substantiate our denial
Ii is true however, that declined their PROPOSE
junction.
In reference TO the saving of fuel. sometimes
half inclined to admire the prudence OF Messrs Case
Soule in refusing TO commit themselves ON this point
and tell us Lov much they do ond perhaps
We and sll Others ougf to be satisfied with the dc
mite information that they "sGre al hcre - 70 BE-
sdrcd at least "to the best of hcir kno ~lcdge. II
they save all there is 70 be saved surely nothing
more can be done but yet, one cannot help renem
bering the qualifying part of the sentence to the
- bert of their knowledge" and asking what is the
extent Of saving which can be effected, according to
their knowledge Quirr sabe.
AZ TO the application of their arrangement or our
own, TO or old boilers and furnaces shall only
repeat what We have before asserted that we believe
our invention BE- attached TO any boiler fur
mace, afess than one-half the cost theirs b. Gp.
"pitd, and that will effect far greater per cent OF
saving in fuel"
In reference TO the infammable gas to which we
alluded, and the benefits OF which We asserted we
were able to secure. shal hold no argument with
Me-srs. Case \ Soule. We rest satisfied with the
opinions, and approval Of chemists of no mean nhi-
ties nor do we deem il advisable to dispute with
those who either cannot will not appreciate whs.-
ever may chance TO differ from their own speculaons
or preludces.
