mace Last Night.
An neutrality-suspicious. was made last
night at the Belmont mill. One Of the
abandoned boiling iurnaces-No. 4-wau
heated up, and two we'll known boilers
we're on hand. These two were Gale
sylvis, now Foreman Of the ISland hose
house, and John Duffy, both practical
workmen. There were present besides,
several gentlemen interested in sanitary
affairs and the health Of the city.
Sometime ago the idea was suggested
that q practical test Of the feasibility OF
burning night soil might be made. Sew.
eral experiments were made In Unused re.
torts Of the gas works, but these were not
entirely successful. Then the plan was
proposed OF trying the experiment In a
boiling furnace. The Belmont Nail Com.
pany consented to allow one OF their fur.
naCes TO be used, and the two boilers
named were secured TO superintend the
work.
The furnace was arst heated To an In.
tense heat. It was then charged with a
small quantity Of night soil, mixed with
equal portions OF slack coal. II took iust
forty initiates 10 consume IL. Then, on
the coke remaining an equal quantity OF
the garbage was thrown. In one hour
this was consumed.
Al the %suggetion Of Mr.. sylyis the fur.
mace was cleaned out entirely, all the
ashes being removed. They were found
to be perfectly odorlesa. Then twice the
former quantity oil garbage was thrown In,
and this was consumed entirely In an
hour and q quarter, This, Nj. Sylvis
holds, proves beyond q doubt that a fur
mace can be built on the principle OF Q
boiling furnace, but with larger CRATE, and
draft 70 correspond, with which night soil
can be successfully and economically cone
sumed. The furnace, he thinks, need not
cost $1,000,
