The indianapolis Sentinel has the fol.
lowing: For more than year past, Mr..
Henry Stacy has been endeavoring to
perfect plans by which coal tar, crude
oil, ETC., could be practically utilized for
the purpose Of making heat enough to
melt iron (of oil descriptions), brass,
generate steam, etc. The gas
company have had these heaters on their
fu, nsces for nearly six months, and 80
well have they done the work that dur
ing this time the company have saved
daily, on ten furnaces, six hundred bush
els of coke, and in making this saving
have consumed portion OF coal tar that
would otherwise have run into Pogue's
run. One Of these heaters was placed
on furnace at the Malleable iron works
last week, where it required eight days
and nights to anneal the iron with coal,
but the heater did the work better in six
days and nights. consuming but two and
a half barrels OF tar, costing 81 80 per
barrel. Mr.. Stacy thinks he can run a
locomotive distance of 100 miles with
out fireman, at o cost of but so cents.
Arrangements have been made, already,
for the speedy introduction of this great
invention, and, as the men interested
have means and ability, there seems to
be no reason why it will not be adopted
by all those needing furnace heaters at q
saving Of about ninety per cent. over
wood or coal. The cost Of the heater is
not to exceed two dollars for each fur
mace, and it is SO simple in its coustruc-
ton that q child Can easily understand
its operation. The tar, oil, etc., passes
from the barrel. tank, or reservoir
through small pipe, and is deposited in
that forces it into the furnace in form Of
spray. making perfect mass Of flame.
but no smoke nor sparks.
A recent number of the Panama Star
and Herald notes the suspension of the
Banana trade between the Isthmus and
4 New York, owing to the dispute between
the Panama Railroad and the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company. The dis
agreement has resulted in q tariff that
precludes further shipments. The
Herald says: When the Pacific Mail re-.
fused to divide with the Panama Rail-
road, the Panama Railroad Company
then charged sufficient freight for the
two miles transportation of the Bananas
to cover one-third of the two thousand
miles sea transportation. Meanwhile,
while these two companies oontended
about the division Of the freights, the
Banana merchants are ground between
the upper and neither mill-stones, their
profits destroyed, their business ruined,
and the most important branch of 18th
mus exports vanishes.
Some curiosity was excited in Port.
