Machine shops Gan He Hun More
Economically without Them.
A few years ago tho building Of II
machine shop without chimney would
have been looked upon as the act of an
idiot. Now it may be tho wisest thing
builder can do, for tho large fan
which is taking tho plaee of tho Chin
ney costs great deal less than the lofty
stack, and does its work much better
Besides this there is great suving in
fuel.
In ono plant whore this experiment
was tried there were three boilers, ag-
gregating EGO horsepower, and directly
above Thorn WAS mounted fan connect
ed diroct with IL 3 by i double cylinder
engine. The wheel Of tho fan was bI
inches in diameter, and as il could BIO
run ut any speed, it provided IA draft
quite Independent of tho fire 1t wns
possible to use much cheaper grade Of
coal and the saving thus effected was
quito appreciable.
For instance, with tho ordinary form
of chimney tho shop would uso 4, 024
tons of Cumberland coal, at $50. 90, ag-
gregatiug 50. 929 n year. Using the
blower. a mixture of Cumberland coal
and yard screenings, half and hnlf,
would suffice. This. at 81. So h, would
amount to 81, 900, showing difference
of 1884. Tho cost of operating tho fan
was placed at 1888 per annum, so that
the net gain was $751; sum greater
than the entire cost of tho mechanical
draft apparatus. st. Louis Globe Dom

ana ~ teiebrHteu Iulnttn2.
On reading tho notes on Paul Nor.
phys visit to Philadelphia | am re-
minded ot an incident in connection
with his visit TO Richmond about tho
same time, which was related to me
some years ago by the Rev Mr.. IT, OF
that city. do not remember over to
have seen it in print. Mr. Morphy was
Mr., IL. S guest while in tho city, aud
ON his arrival WAS first ushered into the
library, and his attention was ut once
attracted by painting over tho man
tel, which was fine copy of cele-
brated painting representing Gamo of
chess between n young man and tho
devil, the stake being tho young mans
soul
The artist had most graphically do
picted tho point in the gamo where it
was apparently the young mans move,
and he seemed just to realize tho fact
that ho had lost tho game. the agony of
despair being shown in every line of his
features and attitude, while tho devil
from the opposite side of the table gloat-
ed over him with iiendish delight. Tho
position of the game appeared utterly
hopeless for the young man, and Mr.
II. said he had often set it up and
studied il with his chess friends, and
all agreed the young mans gamo was
certainly lost
Mr.. Morphy walked up to tho picture
and studied it for several minutes, when
finally turning To MIR. H., he said:
Il can win tho eamo for tho young
man Il
Mr. II. was of course nstonished aud
said, is it possible?'
Mr. Moiphy replied. "Gct out tho
men aad hoard and let us look at it. +"
The position was set up and in few
rapid moves he demonstrated complete
win for tho young man, and tho devil
was eheclsnated. Robert Munford in
