The Cincinnati Gazette says: Many OF
our citizens will no doubt be surprised to
learn that Mr.. David sinton, with all his
wealth, has been turning his mind to the
invention ola device for consuming smoke.
Such, however, is the fact. Wednesday
he piloted d committee ofladies interested.
in the consumption Of smoke in our city
10 the furnace in his building. The de.
vice is very simple one, consisting OF
three receding arches, occupying perhaps
three feet OF space under the boiler, giving
the~ appearance OF tunnel as you look in
The doors of the furnace. These arches
arrest the smoke, SO that when the flame
has passed the third and lowest arch, 1t Is
ihcandescent. This device absolutely
prevents all escape Of smoke, even when
the furnace Is fled, except when the fire Is
madein the morning. Thereisa, saving
600 per cent Of the fuel, and slack can
also be used. The furnace requires re-
plenishing but once in three hours, thus
diminishing the work Of the stoker very,
materially. The cost Is moderate, and
the device can be placed under any boiler
without changing the walls OF the furnace.
