every wear. Both the public spirit which they
share with other men. and pecun1ary interest
therefore impel thoughtful railroad managers 10
seek the suppression OF the smoke nuisance auu
as It is practically impossible always TO use Iuel
which will not emit smoke, no matter no" 1t IS
burned. the solution OF the problem seems TO
him 10 lie in such apparatus or methods as will
secure a more perfect combustion, and therefore
non-emission of smoke. In doing this the rah-
road engine has several handicaps. One is the
fact of It's being necessarily compact. Another
is its dependence upon the country through
which # passes for fuel 4 third is the neces-
sity of quick firing and of sudden stoppageS Oh
steam
All these things are not always taken INTO ac-
count by laymen who condemn railroads Tor
making smoke But the railroad authorities
take them into account, together with the mag
nitude of the smoke evil and of the loss of fuel
in black smoke Accordingly. scientific STUDY
of the question has been conducted by the conl-
pany which Mr. Gibbs represents an0 eiabofale
efforts are being made 10 suppress the evil
These conclusions have been reached: 1hat DI-
luminous coal can be burned practcaIiy without
smoke if proper methods of stocking be Iolio"eu'
that some mechanical stokers give excellent re
suits but require the constant interposltioh Oh
the personal factor: and that therefore IN the
last anaIvsis the solution of the problem chlehy
lies in teaching men how to stoke furnaces prop
erIy and in requiring them to do it. The Penn
sylvania Railroad are told, gives It's men
systematic instruction in stocking, and requires
them to put into practice what they have learned
The result may he perceived by any one VINO
will take the trouble to notice ii. In the running
of many locomotive engines with bltuminous
coal With little. if any. more smoke thah Is
given off by those fed with anthracite The Cd
;-ious suggestion is that what can be done on one
road can be done on others and also that what
can be done on railroad engines, with all their
disadvantages can surely be done more readliF
and more perfectly in the case of stationary en-
gines-in brief that suppression of the smoke
evil is possible and practicable
