SMOKE E-BURNERS.

SMUAE-BU HN EhS.
Locomotives and Tugs Can Burn ThcI
| Smoke.
We submit the following for the perusa
anu consideration Of the officers of Clicags
railway companies, OF Captains and owner
of tugs, and Of the Aldermen and Mayor o
this city. After reading it they will not b.
so confident that smoke cannot be burned OF
locomotive and tug boilers as some of then
have been heretofore:

As all well. know, tile most disagreeablt
feature Of railway travel, especially in ne
summer time, when the Necessity OF fresl
mir seems unavoidable, Is the constant clouds
motive, and carried back to be deposited
upon the persons ot the passengers, us they
sit By the open window, III the form OF black
SCOT. Added to this, tie air is filled with !;
every portion Of the car, to tue annoyance
OF tile travelling public, aud ARE carried into the
| residences of those who are SO unfortunate as
to live near the line Of the railway. 10 OBJ
vlate the ttsagreeable effects created ny the
the brains Ut railroad men and inventors for
Il number OF years past, and many alAi
curious have been the mechanical contri-
vances called "spark-arresters." "s1noke-
consumers" ETC., produced; but invariably
! the same result las always been reached. If
the sparks were arrested, Or the smoke con-
sumcd, a sufficient amount Of steam was
| lacking to drive the mOtive-poWcr at the re-
| quired speed. Col. Alfred Berncy has 1T last
| SOLVED TIE PROBLEM,
n,.ea , .oi5 - 5;i 20 " $3.50 ,i go SAse4u a, =
half, upon the Old Colony Railroad. He has
| perfected s!1lUkc, gas, and spark consumer
| that not only consumes tho smoke and gas,
but prevents any cnders from escaping. frvn
consumption of coal more than &; per cent.
This liew invention is very Simple, and
easily p.t on old or new locomotives, It re-
quires il new stack and saddle, or a modiiic;-
1ion of the old one which is connected with 4
cast-iron chamber, affixed to one, two. or
three OF the lower tlucs in the boiler: into
tho chamber an ar-pipc from the outside Is
attached. From the exhaust base Il pipc
great draft through the air-pine. and also
draws down the ll0t products Of combustion,
!. from tie stack. Tic ir, steam, sparks. and
