which pleased us very much, and which will
readily commend itself, we should Judge, to all
housekeepers. fire box, or, more properly
speaking, fire pot is swung on a swivel in the
centre of an air tight stove, and has two CRATES,
one at the top the other at the bottom. The
CRATE that is uppermost, after the fire is kim
died, is lifted up and kept in position over the
draught, so that nothing unusual in the ar
rangement is perceptible. The beauty of this
double CRATE system is that the fire is kinded
on top instead of at the bottom, and then, by
turning the swivel the pot is reversed, so that
the coal is quickly ignited. The arrangement
for raking down the ashes avoids the dirt that
is usually made by ordinary stoves We would
suggest to our readers to take look at this
invention at Messrs. Nash's, where the inven-
tor will be happy to explain its advantages

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CIVIL ENGINEER.
The following abstracts are taken from the
annual report of Mr.. Thomas f. Chappell, the
City Civil Engineer, who was appointed in
November last to succeed Mr.. Frank D. Moore,
who was appointed last July to succeed Mr..
Charles o. Davis, the original incumbent un-
der Mayor Putnam's administration. These
abstracts refer to the streets and sewers
From the report we learn that there have
been made the past year twenty-four plans
and tracings showing location of Lowry n.y.
drants and the Marginal Way. Profiles of
fifty-one streets have been made, and upon
forty-two of these the grades have been estab-
lished. The total number of streets in which
the grades have been established is 17649
miles and of streets with unestablished grades
but of which profiles have been made is 045
miles. The report concludes with a schedule
of the property in the Engineer Office.
From the report on the sewerage we learn
that the number of new sewers built during
the past year is Six with total length of 1909
feet and a cost of $9911.25 or about $35 80 per
rod. It was found necessary to take up the
sewer in Vaughan street, between Bramhall
and south line of Bracket streets, constructed
in the year 1855, and rebuild it at great
er depth to give sufficient fall to the new
sewer between Bracket and West streets.
This was done at a cost of 1924. A sewer was
also built in Fore street, opposite the Portland
Company, to point 715 feet from the eastern
line of Mountfort street measuring westerly,
to replace the one constructed in 1866, that one
havin: proved insufficient to carry away the
water from the branch drains Its total length
is 1872 "a feet and its cost $3911.31. Three
man holes were built and connections made
with the five culverts which cost in all $183.60.
Nine new culverts have been constructed,
which with repairs Of culverts and sewers on
various streets amount to $198229.
The total amount of appropriation has bee n
S16 At and the total expenditures have been
$1e612 45, making an excess of expenditures
over the appropriation of $19545. The engi-
ueer finds that some sewers have been built
too near the surface to drain the CELLARS Of the
adjoining houses; that 24-inch sewers drain
into 18-inch mains, and some like the one. in
Fore St., have three and four 18-inch branches
running into main OF the same capacity, thus
showing a total absence of any system of drain.

are built regular system be adopted.
