one my horse power in constant use for eighteen
months past and six Others 5O and AIS horse power for
eight months past and that they have far given per-
feet satisfaction In every way; and far economy in
fuel is concerned, think them preferable either the
tubular hue boiler, and were in want OF more
power should by all means give them the preference

Mr. JOSEPH HARRISON, Jr:
Sir; In my last communication to you In regard to
your six nifty horse power steam boilers, promised to
give you future time the exact amount Of saving
fuel.
am pleased to be able to do 80 now as kept very
close and accurate account of the fuel used from Deem
her, 1861 to December, 1863, to compare yopr boilers
1861.
The amount of raw sugar refined during that time
larger than before. The steam pressure was
always kept over my pounds, and We're therefore
enabled to do work in shorter time with the
machinery snd apparatus than, with old steam boil
era in which the pressure at times could not be kept
higher than 20 to 80 pounds.
The actual saving in fuel during this time was ,O7l
tons of coal

Charlestown, Mass, Feb. 20, 1885,
Mr.. JOSEPH HARRISON, Jr., Esq, Phila.
Dear Sir; Your six so horse power steam boilers
which we have In operation since August last have given
us entire satisfaction In regard TO their safety econo
my OF fuel and generation of steam they surpas by far
the tubular and hue boilers had In formerly.
After we tested each your boilers with $50 lbs steam
our refinery since with yours only day and night under
pressure Of 60 lbs. and discovered any leakage
in them -Four of the Harrison Boilers" will now give
us all the steam we want at regular pressurea result
we could never reach with our old ones. However
we them all six, we find saving in fuel and less
depreciation in boilers and CRATES. We have used your
boilers short time in order to give you the
saving In fuel and to express opinion in regard to
their durability, but will do so with pleasure at future
they surpass by far old and any other kind Of boiler
we are acquainted with.
GUsTAvUs A. JASPER,
Superintendent.
Philadelphia May Is, 1868.
Dear Sir In reply to your circular letter of inquiry,
asking our opinion OF the steam boiler erected by at
our works in 1867, we would state
First. For safety sake would not have In its place
any other boiler with which we acquainted
Second. We believe 1t to be economical any other
boiler we have used under the same circumstances al
though this point we have made no absolute test be-
yond the following observation On the LIST of February
last when the pressure of steam IL pounds, ind-
eating temperature of the water of 1856 degrees the
temperature OF the escaping up the chimney 295
degrees, showing difference OF but sixty degrees.
Third. Like all boilers, carrying comparatively small
stock of water, has the advantage of raising steam
rapidly and the disadvantage If it be one) of requiring
constant watchuness the part of the in charge
The penalty for his careessness would probably be that
TO be preferred to blowing up whole building and
destroying half of our people.
We remain,
Very truly yours,

into neighbors house one day,
when the lady CHANGED to be frying
doughnuts.
"Ah," said he, "you are cook

Aware that he had been well

any of the doughnuts.
"Well," said he, returning to the
subject, 'your cakes look nice"
"Oh, very NICE" said the lady,
"they are the best ever cooked"
After playing with the cat awhile,
he remarked
"And they smell nice.
