ANCIENT WA ER-HEATERS
People Two Thousand Years Ago Had
Practical Convenionces.

People Two Thousand Years Ago Had
Practical Convenionces.
In two of the museums OF Roman
antiquities at Naples there are several
water-heaters, which indicate that the
principle of the water-tube, the crowning
feature of modern boilers, was fully un-
der.tood and appreciated some 1000 years
ago. W. T. Bonner of Cincinnati, OHIO,
has been investigating these heaters and
found them TO be as interesting as they
are beautiful. One of them consists OF an
outer shell II inches in diameter and
nearly II inches high, surmounted by a
somewhat hemisphericaily shaped top.
Inside this shell is an internal cylinder,
also having hemispherical top. which is
10 inches in diameter and IL inches high.
The two shells are connected at the bot
tom by rim, like the mud ring OF loco
motive frebox, and the space between
them was filled with water. The CRATE
was formed OF seven tubes made from
sheet bronze. rolled and soldered or braZed.
These tubes open at both ends into the
bottom OF the space between tie sheets,
thus forming a water-tube CRATE for the
fuel to rest upon. Charcoal was probably
used with this heater, and was placed on
the CRATE through an opening 46 inches
high and inches wide. closed by beauti-
fully decorated door. The gases from the
fire escaped into the outer air through
three small openings formed by tubes
crossing from the inner to the outer shell
about Sc inches above the CRATE. The
whole apparatus was raised about II
inches on a tripod, so as to allow air to
reach the fuel
In another boiler OF somewhat the same
type the outer shell has the form OF an
urp, while the inner shell rises from
water-tubs crate to an opening in the
side. 1t is II inches in diameter at the
widest part and 17.6 inches high, and sup
ported on a tripod about four in ches high
Its genera al shap pc is much like that of the
silver cream pitchers known as The Paul
Revere patterns. although, OF course, it is
much larger and has top closed by lid.
II has been suggested that these utensils
may have served at some time to heat
wine, as we'll as water, which suggestion
appears reasonable, as many historians
state that the Pom peiians made great ase
of hot drirks. 1t may be that they were
found in one of the termpodi or cafes, of
which there were several in Pompeii.-
