Letter from Prof. B. Siman Jr concerning Mr. Mosos
Thompson's Baggasse Furnace.


YALE COLLEGE,
New Haven, CT, June 4. 1859.
have had occasion to examine with great care both the the
y and the actual workings of Mr. Moses Thompsons Furnace
for the burning of wet fuels. ~
In 1867 Mr. Thompson for me one of his furnaces d.
signed to Bristol copper mine in this Slate
where was then conducting explorations The furnace in
question was the first of its kind Mr. T. never before
had occasion to prepare furnace for this particular fuel II
worked better than had expected and well enough satisfy
me that little change in the opepjpgs
allow the fuel rs dried to fall freely the lower
prepared to effect these changes when the suspension of the
mines during the severe panic Of September 1851 put end
70 operations The result obtained however satisfied me that
Mr. Thompsons furnace capable OF burning peat inst
as was aug with at lenst three parts in four weight
water This waery fuel suiced in Mr. Thompsops furnace
boiler day ard night but it did material ecohemy Of
fuel and expense compared with anthracite woon
country where wood worth 81 per cord delivered and a
cost about SSper W. 'N ~
have elsewhere given views in detail respecting the
mode OF action Of Mr. Thon pson's furnace not repeat
ese views here Sntce to say that am fully of opinion
ha Mr. L. has made discovery of great practical importance
in the arts and that nowhere SO great value as in ali the
sugar growing countries where the of bagase
mas always been sutiect of difficulty Moreover while
great number oil experiments and literal comics
OF ms ode OF burning Wet fuels have first
took the hed he alone merits the originality in con.
ucths furnace for burning wet fuels both theory
and useful in practice.
Mr. Thompson is modest unassuming man. of an original
has %GfeLiH mind who, with small advantages education
steal, which has haled mary probem, chemical ply
preensons to scientific knowledge and earnesYr
be allowed TO receive both the honors and the
rewards which belong to those who bestow by their genius
