w. l.. Hardie's Patent.

William l.. Hardie, after much the oretical study on the subject, has made tests at the Birmingham rolling mills of a patented auxiliary furnace. using producer gas, demonstrating an idea he has looking to general saving in labor, fuel and wear and tear of ma chinery. Experts who have witnessed the demonstration believe that the pat ent will arouse as much interest as did the Westinghouse air brake when Ii was first demonstrated,
 A large number of experts and in terested parties have been to the roll ing mills and investigated the patent and it is likely that there will be some use put to 1t in Birmingham.
 With the Hardie system of burning producer gas under boilers 1t is pro- posed to effect a treat saving in the worlds consumption of coal Over the best practice with the most modern up- to-date steam generating and steam saving appliances this method of fir ing will save, it is said. from ten to fifteen per cent. of the total combusti- bles used, which is now lost by incom- plete combustion and by the introduce tion of excess air and by green coal and coke falling through the grate bars The Hardie system entirely ob- v!ates these losses by completely gasi- flying every particle of combustible in the fuel employed and delivering same to the fire box and consuming the gas with the minimum amount of air. There is a complete and smokeless combus-
 
 posed to save in fuel 10 to 15 per cent in labor and from 30 to 50 per cent. and prevent all smoke, and over average steam boiler practice it Is proposed to save from 15 to 35 per cent. in firing oVer firing direct, and 30 per cent. in labor. and also have no smoke. Over poor practice. this invention. it is said will save 50 per cent. in c9al and labor and under all conditions abate the smoke nuisance. By this system it is proposed to lengthen the life of the boiler and the furnace walls, for at no time Is cold air permitted to enter the fire box and hence quick contraction of the boiler is prevented and the are no grate bars and hence no cIinkers on the boiler walls and the furnace is clean at all times. The economies of the Hardie system a s set forth in his general prop osition are numerous and are all found ed on scientific principles and his ideas are a combination of well established theories which he had reduced to Il practical application and has made it possible to install a set of conduits in a steam generation plant that will eff feet the maximum saving in fuel. the maximum saving in labor, give the maximum length of life to the boiler and appurtenanCcs and most effective Hardie has been assisted by some of the best gas experts and mechanics in the district in the fl stallation of his test plant. Tn the last two or threo days a number of persons interested in the plant have looked at the tenn porary plant erected at the rolling mills.

Ferguson special referee in bankruptcy in the matter of Ullman Bros, merchants of New York, who have a branch store at Anniston and other large interests in Alabama az gregating several hundred thousand dollars in value.
 The appointment Is a distinct honor. for by 1t Judge Jones has delegated to General Ferguson all the authority and Jurisdiction which he himself could exercise in the matter
 The practices ih the United States Courts where large inter ests in bank ruptcy are involved is for the judge to invoke the assistance of any other judge in whose jurisdiction assets of the bankruptcy may be located. Accord ingly Judge George c. Holt of the United States Court for the southern district of New York. asked the co operation of the bankruptcy proceed ings in the case Yt Ullman Brothers. Judge Jones has issued an order con- ferring upon General Ferguson all the authority which he as judge might cx- ercise-in other words. General Fer guson is to take the place of Judge Jones.
 Such an act is not usual, and 1t Is a high testimonial to the Integrity and ability of General Ferguson.
