Ample Draft Needed.

"All authorities agree that sufficient air
must be admitted to the furnace to allow
complete combustion. This means that
ample draft must be provided. Stacks
less than 12o feet high are usually un-
satisfactory. but steam or electrically
driven fans are now very commonly used
to produce either forced or induced draft
in connection with stacks shorter than
would otherwise be required. Provision
should be made for the admission of air
above the fuel bed. 1t is also now gen
orally conceded that there should be a
frebrick chamber OF sufficient length TO
allow time for the gases and air to mix
and burn. Numerous observations made
on power plants show that 1t takes an
average of twelve seconds for the gases
to pass from the furnace to the top of
stack 125 feet high. This allows but one
second for combustion to take place before
the gases leave the combustion chamber
These conditions have been successfully
met in some plants as to permit the use
of low-grade coal without the production
of Objectionable smoke. These plants are
few when compared to the total number in
operation but they indicate the possibili
ties of securing practically perfect eonl-
bustion.

degree of success attained by any equip

Skilled Firemen Required.
"The skill of the fireman is the most i'm
portant element in connection with the
ordinary equipment. AS matter of fact
the personal element is the greatest him
drance to progress in the abatement of
smoke Both the owner and the fireman
must be interested to obtain the best re-
suits. Intelligent supervision in the boiler
room to. secure proper air admission and
care in firing will result in the saving Of
the losses due to smoke unconsumed

African business men to read that Sir
Julius Wernher has been concerned In

OF the diamond fields as buyer for a Ger

a very inexperienced young German. but

IN those days in an exactly similar ca

two founded in South Africa stands to-
day for all that is shrewd capable. far

has ever been attributed To the house
OF Wernher. Belt & Co. Sir Julius IS a
calm, levei-headed man. always unruf-
fed Mr. Belt. on the other hand, was
a mass OF nerves. and expended much
more brain issue than Sir Julius over a

Yesterday afternoon at the meet
Ing of the Republican candidates the
Cathcart matter was discussed. but
no action was taken. 1t Is reported
by some of those who attended the
meeting that there was considerable
sentiment to the effect that Cath
carts candidacy was endangering the
rest of the ticket, though Joe Cohen,
kamanoulu, and Ed. Quinn are re-
ported to have expressed their inten-
tion to stay by Cathcart as long as
he stayed on the ticket. The matter
was finally left in the hands of Vice
Chairman Chillingworth and the
Central Committee. it being the
opinion of the County Committee
leaders that, in case any action
should be taken in the Cathcart mat
ter, II should be taken in the same
manner as was done in the case of
Kaea.

ter. The two first mentioned mem
bers of this committee this morning
had a long consultation with Cath
cart, after which they were closeted
with Chairman Judd of the County
Committee. Later on Cathcart had
an interview with Judd, and Judd
and Won Holt had conference with
Chillingworth. The day was, on the
whole, one of conferences. and ru-
mors of all kinds were rife.
One report, which gained many be
levers, was to the effect that while
Lane and Chillingworth might not
have started the charges against
Cathcart, they We're now profting by
them with all their might, their OBJ
ject being to get Cathcart off the
ticket In order that Carlos Long
might have an easy road to victory.
The gist of most of the reports
was that when the Central Commit

mittee would report In favor of Gust
Ing Cathcart from the ticket. The
names which the leaders had In mind
