Smoke Prevention.

In considering the important sub
ject of smoke prevention recently
the Cleveland Engineers club lis
tened to Il paper by {. ii. Benjamin,
who stated that number of eXpcri
ments were made several years ago
on very black and dense smoke.
1t was all collected, the amount of
solid matter was determined by
weight, and it was found to be in all
one third of per cent, or one-three-
hundredth of the weight of coal
burned at the time, probably ono
half of this solid matter being car
bon, showing the amount of coal
actually wasted in SCOT to be one
iXhundredth part of the coal. In
preventing smoke, the principal re,
quirements' enumerated by Mr..
Churchill are three-uamely, that
the coal be evenly heated, that there
he free supply of hot air raised to
the temperature of combustion, and
that the volatile matters distilled
from the coal shall pass through
gases of such temperature that they
will he burned, thus making it i'm
possible for the gases that distill
from the coal to escape by the chin
ncy or to become cooled after once
having been ignitcd. The great mis-
take, he thinks. that many manu-
faCturers have made in attempts to
invent smoke preventing device
by the introductions of air about the
fuel or at the bridge wall is that
the air has not been made hot
enough. The introduction of cold
air * disadvantage rather than
an advantage, SO far as preventing
smoke Is concerned, the fact being
inat it will produce smoke where
none existed before New York
sun

The Log Cabin in Which was Held the
First Republican Convention
Assembled in Idaho.
AWAY UP IN THE MOUNTAINS.
The Old Meeting-House Wondering In Slow
Decay.

The Boise Statesman Of Oct. 18th
says; "Cal White brought to the

building is historic; and the picture,
which was taken by Marsh, of Weiser,
Is magnificent photograph.
"The building is on Goose creek
on the Packer John trail, about o
mile above Mr. Whites place at The
Meadows. 1t is constructed of logs
and is lS "a feet in size. In the
gable end, just over the door, is a
small window. Tamarack shakes
were used in roofing the structure
and these are as sound as when they
were put on.
''The cabin is in good state OF
preservation, but is not occupied and
stands on government land. The 10
cality is n favorite spot for campers
and such parties use the building.
Consequently there is no danger tina
it will be burned at any time or de
stroyed in some other way. Mr.
White is anxious that the building b,
preserved, and in this he is right. |
