A SMOKESTACK PROBLEM.
Many Schemes That Failed Before IL
High Chimney Was Painted.

Many Schemes Tha Failed Before the
High Chimney Was Painted.
AT the cement works on the west
shore of Hampstead harbor there is a
Emokestack 1873 feet high and 3 feet in
ing. The manager thought the time had
come to dispose of the job. Two Of the
foremen, the shovel engineer and a
young carpenter set their wits to work
to contrive a way Of getting a rope up
through the pipes interior and down on
the outside SO that all apparatus could
be rugged to hoist the painter.
One of the Italians suggested letting
a pigeon loose to fly up inside of the
stack, but this solved only half the prob
lem. Another workman suggested a
small balloon. The first one to formu-
late what seemed a feasible plan was the
head foreman, who fastened 10 feet of
small brass chain to q rocket, and to
that a cord, and then sent them skylark-
ing through the pipe. AS a spectacle it
was fine, but the heat from the powder
burned off the chain, and the string
was left at its starting point. Then the
younger foreman tried. He had made a
kite having two strings, one Of which
went through a pulley attached near the
kite, which had a small iron weight
fastened to its upper end, the intention
being TO fly the kite until it was direct
~ over the smokestack, and then lower
the weight down into the interior.
The kite worked beautifully until it
was time for it to be useful, when it
turned a somersault, tangling itself in
the pulley tackle, and the whole thing
came to grief. Then the carpenter began
to talk. He, too, remembered boyish
pastimes and believed they could be
turned to account. His idea was to as
cend the cable tower, 90 feet distant
and 100 feet high, and from this posi-
ton throw into the smokestack a weight
tied to a string. The wind was blowing
a gale, but this did not discourage the
man, and he, with the two foremen as
cended the tower for performance No. 3.
To throw q two pound weight fasten-
ed to a string was no easy matter, and
it was exceedingly difficult to keep a
fOOthold on the tower. After three trials,
however, the weight fell as planned,
save that the string broke. Later the
carpenter tried again, casting the weight
four times before it entered the stack.
When the rigging to hoist the painter
was in order, there was a call for vol
unteers, but only one man responded.
He was the shovel engineer, Will Sny-
der, from Chicago. He has had an ex-
perience in work in high places, fo1
