 Dear Sir-In reference to the perform ance of the boilers and furnaces at the plant of the Birmingham Rolling NH company that you equipped with your system Of burning producer gas, will say that am more than pleased with the re- suit you obtained there. The boilers were forced over 10 per cent past their rated capacity, with 30 per cent less fuel than was formerly used in bringing them to their normal capacity Tn addition to this you have most economically solved the smoke problem, and I will take pleasure in recommending your system to any one

This is an apparatus for using producer gas under steam boilers for fuel. The advantages are No smoke, less fuel, less labor. and longer life for the boiler In practice the gas is taken from gas pro- ducers The Gas Furnace" is scientif- cally and ingeniously constructed under the boiler and takes the place of the ordinary furnace into which coal Is fed. The gas is carried from the producer to the boiler through pipes or sewers and passes through pipes so arranged in the
 irebox as to bring the gas to a high temperature before entering the comhus- ton chamber. A regulated supply of air

 It can be used everywhere steam boilers are used, whether on land or sea. In the consumption of fuel alone a saving from 10 per cent to 50 per cent is shown. Be- sides this less labor Is required, boilers last longer, and there is complete ab- sence of smoke. This is the solution of

 The invention is thoroughly scientific and is supported by tests made at the Birmingham rolling mills.

Montgomery hit a scorcher down through the pitchers box in the third inning of the second game that in transit met one of Starkels pitching fingers. The Montgomery twirler pitched a few more balls and then retired in favor of McMackin. The latter kept the Baron batters guessing and very probably saved his team from the loss of another game. "Oh, the monotonousness of It," walled Uncle Ike" Durrett as the row of goose eggs accumulated by his team in the first seance grew In length But as the line of ''naughts" heightened on the big score board in center the smile on George Stultz's countenance widened.
 Oldring is easily one of the best short fielders in the league when 1t comes to covering his territory. He gets over a world of ground and gets the ball away from him like flash.
 Harry Niles didn't connect safely yes- terday, but he is joy to the fans. all of whom know he has the goods up his sleeve ready for future delivery.
 That man Thornton, who guards right field for Durrett's aggregation, has a good arm and throws with great accu- racy. Carlos Smith will probably testify to thls fact, as Thornton's fine throw to second in the first inning of the opening game robbed Carlos of a two-bagger.

ting the horse-hde some these days. He smashed out four bingles yesterday out i of seven times up, and none of them was of the questionable variety.
 "Allcock will do," was the verdict of the fans after seeing the youngster at work. The Barons' new shortfelder will be thoroughly satisfactory if he can keep up the pace he has set since he joined the team in Nashville last Monday All cock makes the opposing pitcher put 'em over," and he swings at the sphere like a born hitter. With a little more experience his fielding promises to be fully up to the mark. All in all, 1t looks as if Manager Vaughan has pickedup a jewel in this youngster and that Harry did fine moments work when he tele- graphed Alcock to buy ticket and join the Birmingham team in Nashville at once." Allcock comes from Worces- ter, O.. the home of Ginger Clarke, and was recommended to Vaughan by Clarke.

BOTH SIGN PEACE TREATY
Gear and Mikado Attach Signatures to
Portsmouth Document and War
Is officially Ended.

Washington, Oct 16.-The emperor
of Russia and the emperor of Japan Sat-
urday morning signed their respective
copies of the peace treaty, thus officially
ending the war Baron Rosen, the Rus
sian ambassador, called at the state de-
partment Saturday to tell Secretary
Root that the emperor of Russia had ear
ly in the day affixed his signature to the
copy of the treaty drawn at Portsmouth.
A few minutes after noon Minister TAX
ahira appeared at the state department
with message stating that the emperor
of Japan had signed the treaty at Toxic
So both copies of the treaty having been
duly signed, the Russo-Japanese war,
which began February s. 1904, with the
attack by Togo's feet upon the Russian
ships at Port Arthur, terminated official
ly October IA. Little remains to be done
to meet the official requirements. At q
later date, probably in the course of a
month or two, copies of the treaties will
be actually exchanged, probably in
Washington, by the Russian ambassa-
dor and the Japanese minister.
