ANCIENT WATER HEATERS.
People Two Thousand Years Ago Had
Some Practical Conveniences.

People Two Thousand Years Ago Had
Some Practical Convcnienccs.
In two of the museums of old Roman
antiquities at Naples there are several
water heat9,s, which Indicate that the
principle Of the water tube, the crown-
ing feature of modern boilers, was fully
understood aud appreciated some 1900
years ago. Mr.. ". 7. Bonner Of Gin
cinnati has been investigating these
heaters and found them to be as inter
esting as they are beautiful. One of
them consists Of an outer shell II
inches in diameter and nearly II inches
high, su1mouItcd by somewhat hemi-
specifically shaped top. Inside this shell
is m internal Cylinder, also having Il
hcmisphcric;l top, which is 10 inches
in diameter and ~ inches high. The
two shells are connected at the bottom
by a rim, like the mud ring of Il loco
motive firebox, and the space between
them was filled with water. The CRATE
was formed CT seven tubes made from
sheet bronze, rolled and soldered or
brazcd These tubes open at both ends
into the bcttom Of the space between
the shells, thus forming water tube
CRATE for the fuel to rest upon.
Charcoal was probably used with this
heater and was placed Oh the CRATE
through an opening 4. inches high and
4 inches wide, closed by a beautifully
decorated door The gases from the fire
escaped into the outer air through three
small openings formed by tubes Cross
ing from the inner to the outer she'll
about 56 inches above the CRATE. The
whole apparatus was raised about ~
inches on a tripod so as to allow air to
reach the fuel. III another boiler Of
somewhat the same type the outer shell
has the form of al urn, while the inner
she'll rises from { water tube CRATE TO
an opening in the side. 1t is - inches
in diameter at the widest part, 11.G
inches high and supported on tripod
about i inches high. It's general shape
is much like that Of the silver cream
pitchers known as the Paul Revere pat
terms, although, of course, it is much
larger and has q top closed by lid. 1t
has been suggested that these utensils
may have served at some time to heat
wine as we'll as water, which sugges-
ton appears reasonable, as many his
torians state that the Pompeiians made
great use of hot drinks. 1t may be that
they were found in one of the termpodi

SKATING IN OLD DAYS.
How the Sport Became Popular In New
York City.

York City.
While skating is now one of the most
popular sports of the winter season ii
is only comparatively few years since
it has become so in this city. When the
Central park was being constructed III
1860 and the small artificial lake at
Fiftv-ninth street was nearly completed,
the park commissioners announced that
it would be thrown open for the use CT
skaters. \ few men took advantage Of
the invitation, but women could NOT be
induced 10 60 on the ice. The skates
then in use were Of the most antique
pattern, some Of tie runners extending
a long way in front Of the foot, ending
in a rirglilie curl. IL q crowd these
skates were quite dangerous, and the
first year skating was anything except
popular.
During the next winter the larger
lake at the upper end Of the mall was
in such condition that it could be used
for skating. Here there was more room
for the sport, but still the women could
not be induced 10 venture on the ice.
4 number of gentlemen determined 10
overcome this prejudice and organized
the New York Skating club, having
regulation patterned skate, almost even
with the sole Of the boot, which was
laced up tight 10 the ankle, while the
Objectionable strap was dcne away
with, the runner being fixed 10 the sole
while in use by ball and socket aud
held firmly with clamp. These be-
came popular that winter with thenen,
and lighter kind was made fer wom-
en-. The prejudice, however, still ex-
listed among the latter, until tie club
invited a lady, who was Il fine skater,
from Portland, Me, to visit the Cen
traI park and skate with the club. This
lady were pretty and appropriate
dress, similar to that Worn III winter by
women skaters i'll Europe, and she
created snch a sensation by her artistic
skating as TO attract much notice The
result was that before the season ended
several young ladies were induced by
the club TO venture on the ice, and the
season OF 1929 found many, with
pretty costumes, enjoying the sport.
4 series of carnivals We're arranged
by the club during the following season,
and skating in the evening became one
of the fashionable winter amusenents.
