MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.


Users of steam would do we'll to try the
blanchard Patent Steam boiler, if it it fact
ehat II makes the saving over other boilers that
is claimed for it.
NOBODY can dispute but that it is constructed
on the right principle, and for safety and dura.
bility it can't be beat.
Suppose manufacturer is using six tors of
coal per day, at that rate he would use so,oo
1900 tons in one year. Now if, as is claimod
by the proprietors of this boiler, that it well
generate 30 per cent more steam with the same
weight of coal than any boiler with the same
heating surface in the market, this would be a
large saving.
But we will suppose that it will only save sc
per cent. Of the the coal, this would be 4(
tons year. AT $3.50 per ton it would amount
to $3.50 the first year, and in fifteen years
which the patent has to run, would amount to
$52,650

Message Of tIac President on Affairs IN
Utah.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The President sent
the following message to Congress to day:
To the Senate and House of Representatives.
I consider it my duty to call the attention of
Congress to the consideration of affairs in the
territory of Utah. and to the dangers likely to
arise if it continues during. the coming recess
from threa tened conflict between the federal
and territorial authorities. No discussion is
necessary in regard to the general policy of
Congress respecting the territories of the United
States, and only wish now to refer to so much
of that policy as concerns their judicial affairs
and the enforcement of law within their bor-
ders. No material differences are found in re-
spect to these matters in the organic acts of the
territories but an examination of them will
show that it has been the invariable act of
Congress to place and keep their civil and GRIM
inal jurisdiction with certain limited excep-
tions, in the hands of persons nominated by the
President and confirmed by the Senate and that
the general adminstrati on of justice should be
as prescribed by Congressional enactment.
Sometimes the power given to the territorial

some four or five months and they have made
some very reliable scientific tests and find it
makesa very large saving in fuel over any of
their boilers Parties wishing to purchase boil
ers will do well to go to Pawtucket and see this
boiler in operation. They will then become
satisfied of it's utility.
Below is test made with the Blanchard
Boiler at the Dunnell Manufacturing Co., at
Pawtucket, r. l., Nov. 49, 1872, by Alden Sib-
ley, Esq, and report made of the same test
by Chas. H. Haswell Esq, formerly Chief
Engineer of the U. S. Navy This test was
made with poor quality of Scranton coal and
no deduction was made for ashes and clinkers:

In this trial no deduction was made for ashes

Sir-In reply to your query of the the Dist
inst, have to advise, That the effective eyap-
grafton of 1887 lbs of water at 42o by the
combustion of 4, 100 lbs, of coal, at steam
pressure of 80 lbs mercurial gauge is as fol-
lows: A7
Temperature of steam at so lbs mercurial
gauge 1880
Temperature of steam at pressure of
atmosphere, 212o
Difference, 116o
In referring to the comparative effects of fuel
as determined by evaporation of water, the
water is taken as it occurs, and the tempera-
ture of the evaporation at 212o, hence the effect
i've value of any evaporation at a higher tenn
perature is to be computed by its excess Of
temperature over the standard of 212o and for
reasons too manifest to be detailed
The total heats of evaporation in the two
cases are as follows:
Evaporation at 212o-1 1866
ditto 32So-1,287
Difference, 1906
which expresses the difference between the to-
tai heats of evaporation.
Heuce as 1,146.6o is the the mechanical
equivalent of heat contained in steam, the diff
ference between that and 1,2S7.2o is 1860
1922 per centuin.
Therefore 43,337x12.2 per cent. 49, ga lbs
which divided by 400 gives 11.s5 lbs of water
per pound of coal
