An Inventors scheme for Burning
Powdered Coal Is Successful.

An Inventors scheme for Burning
Powdered Coal ls saccessraI.
Wherever there's smoke there's
fire. Is an adage based on observa-
ton of unvarying physical laws, but
the reverse does not always hold,
good. for there may be fire without
smoke, or, at all events without ap-
parent smoke.
castle Chronicle, an inventor has
succeeded in devising a means for
insuring complete combustion with
out the emission of smoke, and his
method has. on repeated tests, proved
so satisfactory that two of the most
important shipping companies In
Germany have decided on adapting
it to their steamers.
In this system, coal reduced to
powder in centrifugal dislntegraters
is introduced into a pear-shaped com
bustion chamber lined with fire. brick,
and fitted with an induction appara-
tus like those used in petroleum
fired furnaces, the coal dust being
drawn along by jet of steam or
compressed air.
The combustion chamber. which
takes the place OF q furnace. is pro-
vided with two apertures, one in the
center line of the boiler. occupying
the position OF the usual frehole
door. while the other. on the oppo-
site side of the combustion chamber,
serves for introducing the coal dust
through a pipe, SO placed that the
dust is evenly dispersed over the
whole surface of the chamber.
After the fist ignition, which may
be effected by any source of heat.
the combustion continues regularly
and intensely under the action of the
air current, which is regulated in
accordance with the quantity of dust
required to produce the necessary
| heat The air or steam and dust
are intimately mingled in the zone
of combustion, while the spread of
the current. which has served as a
vehicle for the dust is much reduced.
Each particle of fuel held in sus-
pension is, by this method, brought
into such close contact with the oxy-
gen necessary for its combustion that
this method is so complete as to al
low of practically no smoke being
generated.

Promotion in the Navy Paw Corps.


The course Of promotion in the
navy pay corps is illustrated by the
cases of the officers just advanced to
the rank of paymaster, and of those
below them in the list of twenty past
assistant paymasters. The officers
just promoted have been about six
teen years in the service, of which
four years were passed in the lowest
of the pay corps grades and the re-
mainder in the next highest The
officer now first on the list of past
assistant paymasters has been fifteen
and a half years in the service, of
which he passed three and half in
the lowest grade When promotion
comes. which must be soon, he will
have been more than twelve years q
past assistant paymaster.
