SHORT CHIMNEY STACKS
The D.ys of tho Tall smol. ns,....,
Ones Arc Numbered, 1t
Ia SAID.

The days Of the tall, snokc-belchino
factory chimneys are numbered. &c,
cordfng to a writer In the Iron Trade
review. lnsteud, there are to be short
stucks and blowers For illustration. the
experience Of Boston manufacturing
firm 10 related. Changes in the ar
rangement Of the works necessitate,l
the removal Of the boiler plant, but 1t
was out of the question to take the
chimney along. In its stead q fan
blower was INSTALLED on top of the
boilers and provided with special en-
gine to drive 1t at Just the speed re-
quired- 1t is automatically regulated
80 that less than one pound drop in
steam pressure greatly increases the
draft, starts up the fire and brings the
pressure buck to where 1T belongs. The
tan works by suction, draws the gases
from the boiler fue and forces them
out through q short stock extending
only 81 feet above the boiler room floor,
The draught which may he produced
Is two or three times stronger than that
OF the chimney which has been dis
carded and is just as strong In all kinds
OF weather, while the cost of the entire
mechandcal@lraught equipment, includ-
ing the stack, has been less than one
halt of that Of new chimney. Be
cause Of the stronger draught much
cheaper fuel is burned, the saving being
about $1,000 q year. 1t 10 possible with
mechanical draught to use smaller
boilers and still produce the required
amount Of steam.

SECONDHAND SHOES.
Extensive nepairs-a1ay Ne Made and
Yet They May Ne Had for
VERY Little Money.

A sign hanging in front OF shoe
makers shop where secondhand shoes
were sold had upon 1t these words,
"Second-Hand Shoes with New Uppers.' .
1t seemed almost that a pair Of sec
ond-hand shoes with new uppera would
be practically new shoes, but inquiry
showed that this impression was not
warranted by the facts. There IL a
good deal OF fresh material in q poir
OF shoes thus repaired, but there IL also
lett good deal of the old, says the
New York Sun.
The new upper thus put in is new
vamp, the front part Of the uppert the
old counter. or back part Of the shoe,
still remains. 1t IL O fnmiliar fact
that while the counter may break
down or wear out or get q hole In II
somehow. 1t is much more likely to
stay sound and good; tits the front that
cracks and breaks, And 20 in put
ting secondhand shoes in order now
vamps are sometimes put IN. But while
such shoe, which has also been soled
and heeled, might easily be described
as having undergone extensive rspair..
II would be far from whol ly new. There
would remain. besides the old counter,
the shank and the inner sole, and the
general shape and framework Of the
shoe, and upon these the repairs could
be made. Secondhand shoes bring va
rious prices, depending on their orig
inal quality and their condition; pair
Of secondhand shoes, resoled and re-
heeled and with new uppers, can be
bought for as little as a dollar.
