A Huge Ash Receiver.

From the New York Evening sun.
Persons who have observed the new con-
struction of engines have repeatedly asked the
question: What is the object of the long
projecting fronts:" Those same projecting
fronts are what has changed railroad travel
from thing of misery to one of JOY by doing
away with dust and cinders from the stack. By
a device between the fre-box and the smoke
stack all the dust and cinders are forced into
the long projecting front, instead of through
the mouth of the stack, to be blown back into
the car windows. The big front is in reality
the engines ash barrel, and it has to be emptied
at regular intervals. An engine which makes
through run. say us miles per day. has her
spark-arrester cleaned out at the conclusion of a
round trip. when close on to a barrel of dirt
and cinders is removed. All engines of recent
build are equipped with the big fronts. and
those which were built since their advent are
being remodelled by all tirst-class roads. Too
high an estimate cannot be placed on the de-
vice, and yet there are scores of persons who
are daily enjoying its benefits who do not
really know where the time-honored sparks
and cinders have disappeared to.
