SMOKE CONSUMER
And FAST HEATER
INVENTED BY c.. H.. WILSON
MARINE ENGINEER.
Newly Patented Boiler
Device.
WORK OF QUARTER CENTURY

After 25 years of constant work
and study Charles II. Wilson, 81
years old. of Paducah. former ma
rine engineer, has perfected a steam
boiler, furnace and fuel saver that
he claims will bring him a small for
tune. This morning he received his
patent from Washington, ID. c.. and
his hope Of a quarter of a century
has been realized. He is probably
the happiest man in Paducah.
The beginning OF the patent dates
back years ago when he was chief
engineer on the steamboat Richmond
plying between Cincinnati and New
Orleans. For just one part of the
patent Mr.. Wilson says he was re-
Gently offered SIS, 900 by a New
York firm, and also offered $40 900
by a firm in San Francisco for ex-
elusive use of II on the Pacific coast
81 will not sell any part of IT," he
said today. The patent has been
added to year after year with i'm
provements of his own study and will
revolutionize boiler furnaces through
out the United States.
The patent furnace has the fol-
lowing features: Elevated crate bars
at the front Of the furnace raised
several inches higher at the end than
in front; a combustion chamber in
which the smoke is consumed by the
fire, and an ash slant to the rear; a
combustion wall at the rear breaking
the smoke into fifteen sections be-
fore passing to the flues. 1t is a
wonderful Improvement and fuel
saver. Fully so per cent of the fuel
burned in other furnaces Is saved
The combustion wall at the rear of
the furnace checks the heat and
throws it directly against the boiler
50 that by the time the smoke gets
to the smoke box 1t is perfectly cool.
In old furnaces the smoke on reach
ing the smoke box Is red hot. Mr.
Wilson claims anyone can sit in the
smoke box with 60 pounds OF steam
in the boiler. 1t is always cool there
he claims.
Another feature of his patent Is
the fact that steam can be raised in
35 minutes and the boiler will keeI
up steam from Saturday night unit
Monday morning. The inventor
claims that II he sold any part of the
patent the rest would he OF no use e
him. He hopes to realize between
$40 900 and $4,000 from the in
vention.
All the Paducah public schoo
buildings are equipped with the new
patent, known as Wilson's Steam
Boiler. Furnace and Fuel Saver" HI
says the boilers are installed in othei
buildings here. making a total mum
Der of about fifteen. One was in
stalled in the Peoples Roller mills a
Golconda. H., and a letter received
from Manager James f. Lane say
that before the new boiler was in
stalled 20 bushels of coal were useC
per day. With the invention the fue
supply has been reduced to 80 bush
els a day. One is in use at the KeVil
(Ky.) Milling company.
Mr.. Wilson is extremely hard o
hearing. but displayed his drawing
with pride. He formerly worked TO
the Jackson Foundry and Machine
company and is well known in th'
city.
