BURNING POWDERED COAL.
1t Is Done With Blast of Air and With
out a Crate.

1t Is Done With Blast of Air and With
out a Crate.
Interesting experiments in the use OF
powdered fuel by the Wegener system
are now being conducted in London.
Small sacks of powdered coal, weighing
about half a hundredweight, are put
into conical hopper. The powdered
coal gradually falls out of the sacks, as
required, into the hopper, and then on
to sieve about 5 p inches in diameter,
with small openings in it. The pow
dered coal would not go through this
sieve with certainty without continual
tapping, and this is done in the follow
ing way:
Immediately beneath the hopper, and
level with the boiler house floor, is an
air pipe about 20 inches in diameter,
through which nearly all the air for
combustion enters. As it enters it is
made to pass through the blades of an
air wheel or turbine and this passage of
the air causes the latter to revOlve like
smokejack. On the axis OF this air
wheel there is little knocker which
taps the sieve about $50 or $50 times
per minute, causing the powdered coal
to descend vertically through the sieve,
meeting the air for combustion as 1t as
cends vertically. The powdered coal and
air for proper combustion in this way
get mixed thoroughly together and pass
on into the boiler fue, each particle OF
coal being surrounded by air.
There is no CRATE and there are no fire
doors, and the stocking simply consists OF
putting a sack of powdered coal from
time to time into the top of the hopper
and seeing that the right amount OF air
is going in for combustion. If there is
not sufficient air for proper combustion
entering through the main opening, as
seen by little smoke, there are two
other smaller pipes where additional air
can be admitted, each kind of coal re-
curing somewhat different amount of
air. The only object of the air wheel re-
volving from so to 80 revolutions per
minute is to shake the sieve and cause
the powdered fuel to go into the furnace
| in the quantity desired. When more
steam and coal are required, a greater
knock is given to the sieve and more
powdered coal is burned; when less is
required, a less shake is necessary. A
screw adjustment for knocking is pro-
vided to regulate the amount Of coal en-
tering, which is done by turning with
two fingers half-inch thumbscrew.
The only duty of the attendant Is to
put the sacks of coal into the hopper,
and he ascends a short ladder to do this.
He also has to regulate the amount OF
air for combustion and then there is nc
smoke. He can therefore attend to sew
eral boilers. An analysis of gases OF
combustion proves that the combustion
is excellent, and the amount of carbon
dioxide is much higher than with ordl-
nary furnaces. Philadelphia Record.

A Chance For lola.

In spite of the fact that M. lola did
not score one vote for the French Acad'
envy at the late election, his success, ac-
cording to NJ. Claretie is not unlikely
at the next election to fill the fauteull
of Dumas. If Dumas had been alive
NJ. lola would not have been without a
vote on this occasion, for, as is known
the former took an active and friendly
interest in his candidature. The knowl-
edge that such was the case Will have
its influence when Dumas own success
SCR is chosen. Moreover, says NJ. Clar'
cite, old literary quarrels are being for,
