PREVIOUS 10 1926 the use OF stoves,
generally Of the box pattern and OF
a very rude construction, was conhn-
ed to stores, hotel bar-rooms, school
houses and churches ia the larger
cities and towns. Country churches
were not actually warmed, but the
older women carried their foot stoves,
and the men protected their feet with
stout leather overshoes, known as
boxes" In the residences of some
OF the more wealthy city families,
camel and other English coal, gener-
ally referred to ut the time as 'sea
coal, was burned in imported CRATES,
or in Rumford stoves lined with fire
brick. The rest of the world used the
capacious, old.rashioned fireplace.
The cheapness of fuel, the cheerful
ness OF an open Greplace, and the
great weight and construction OF the
stoves in those days made the latter
in but little demand.

INVESTIGATIONS show that the limi
OF temperature at which men can
work depends upon their length Of
their exposure, the amount of exer-
ton they lut forth, their condition
and the nature Of the atmosphere, par
ticularly as to It's degrees of moisture
1t is stated that men have been en-
ployed on railways at 1o4', in mines
under very favorable conditions-at
1875, and are said to work occasion
ally in the stoko-holes of tropical
steamers at 1867. Prof. Dubois is re
ported to have estimated that a tenn
perature Of 122 can be endured when
the air is as dry as possible, but even
1O4' is likely to DE fatal in an atmos-
phere saturated with moisture. 1t is
also considered certain that men can
not become accustomed to stand for
any considerable time a higher tenn
perature than las 10 1865 even when

which consist OF a PLAIN glass dial
suspended by fine thread or wire,
having the motive power an ordin-
airy watch movement - concealed in
