GREENER VEGETATION.

IT, the experts employed By his
company set out to accomplish results
along that line. 1t had been suggested
that one sure way TO overcome the
trouble was to apply the water spray,
but the plant was not decreed
feasible, FOR the reason that Manager
McVichie and his advisors decided It
would be a difficult matter TO secure a
supply commensurate with the needs
AfteT a series OF experiments, It was
concluded to enlarge the flue system by
the installation of expansion chambers
for the cooling OF the gases and coll
lection Of dust
The first unit consisted OF a large
chamber 20 feet IN length, "a feet high
and 80 feet wide, the frame was con-
structed Of steel and covered by sheet
steel. At the TOP Of this chamber
are six slots TO which battles are sus-
pended the same being constructed
partly Of expanded metal Hath and rods
set close together
The function Of the barrles, as the
C0mpany's mechanical engineer eX-
plains II, is TO divide the stream Of
gases into small portions. The cool
Ing effects Of the battles and chamber
tends To deposit the fue dust, or metal
lie fumes, ON these rods and battles as
we'll as on the sides Of the chamber
which are cleaned out from time 10

On comparison 10 the main nues. the
velocity ~ the gases ~ checked on en-
t-riug by the expansion of area, This
also tends to cool the gases aud the
contact with the Sides Of the metal
chamber has the same effect on them,
allowing the dust 20 collect
The result of the operation Of the
steel expansion chamber proved so
satisfactory the escape OF dust out uf
the stack had become lessened 20 such
marked extent, that 1t was concluded
TO further perfect the system by add
ing more area TO the nues, Accord

two parts, the gases, entering from the
steel chamber are carried down one
side aud M the other TO the stack. BY
the time the gases reach this point, on

cooled that the metallic fumes
have been practically all collected. But
