HEATING BY FRICTION.
SHERIDAN.

Here is one out Of the thousand inven.
tions. which when first heard Of aTo
destined to revolutionize the world
which seems to have some merit
a Boston gentleman has invented
simple device, which, if its present prom
Uses are realized ought to work a re-
voluon in methods of heating. 1t is
nothing less than an invention to use
friction as Il practical means of fproducing
heat. At the time of the Ashtabula
horror, when so many were burned to
death bv the wrecked cars catching fire
from the stoves, Mr.. Webster Wells,
then professor Of mathematics at the
Massachusetts institute Of technology,
began to consider the problem of heat
ing the ears without fire. He has now
sol ed it, His invention consists Of
strong iron cylinder, at one end of
which, inside is IA fixed plate of harden
ed iron, against which, firmly attached
to revolving shaft, another plate
presses, either closely or lightly, as re-
quired. The cylinder is filled with
water, and this, heated by the friction Of
the two plates, circuates through pipes,
warming the room through which they
run jusb as steam pipes do The water
is kept in constant circulation In these
pipes, returning to the cylinder to be
heated over again. The water in the
cylinder, which is brought to high
degree of heat in remarkably short
time, keeps the plates fabricated, pre-
venting their wearing away at rapid
rate. When worn away the cost Of
renewing them is trifiing, and the
machine has no complicated work about
it, SO that it is easily kept in repair.
The power required to run the machine
is SO slight that the waste, or surplus,
power of the engines in use for running
elevators and other machi 80. y in nun
dreis of buildings throughout city is
enough for all ordinary purposes. The
machine can be utilized in any place
where power is used. The ordinary
sized machine has thirty-six square
inches of friction surface in it's plates.
sufficient, it is said, to heat 10000 cubic
feet Of space. This requires but half .
horse power. A machine with 225
square inches Of friction requires but
four horse power, and would heat
! roour G0X200 feet, OF containing t2G,00@
cubic feet. In railroad cars the ma
chimes are operated by power taken
direct from the wheels, doing away with
all danger from fire in case Of smash
mp. When the cars are standing still
the machine can be operated by power
from the locomotive, by a contrivance
somewhat like that which operates the
Westinghouse brake. In mills il is cal.
culated that great saving can be made,
both in fuel and in the rates of insur-
ance, especially in those run by water
power. The agent Of mill where
water-power is used estimates that in
twenty years, by the use OF this device, a
saving Of at least Sls5,OO0 in fuel alone
could be effected. Prof Wells is now in
Europe, looking ont for his patents there.
The machine has now been in operation
in Boston for sevsn mouths"

With river navigation more than thirty
years ago. Away back about 1845 a
steamer running the Hatchie river
was named the Pitser Miller in his
honor. This boat was commanded
for period by Captain Frank Hicks,
now of the Henry Frank, and it was
among the first boats run by him. The
steamer made occasional trips to st.
Louis, along in 1878. Another boat
also ran under the same name. At

thriving and enterprising merchant at
