a YOUNG woman writes to me
"A that she is worn out by mental
work, and she wants to inter-
est some people with money, who
will send her away to recuperate
her strength.
Almost every post brings letters
similar, and innumerable are the
Inquiries regarding the possibility
of influencing Mrs. Sage, Miss
Gould, Mr. Carnegie and Mr.. Rookie
Teller to hand over money for the
benefit of needy individuals and
worthy causes.
1t does not occur to the writer's
of these letters that a hundred
thousand other people and causes
all look toward the same golden
goal and that all these millionaires
are hemmed in by an army of sec
retaries. who read several hundred
begging letters each day and al
low them to so no farther.
1t is said that each week Miss
Gould is asked for a million dol
lars in charity by different people,
and that were she to respond to all
the requests for aid she would in
years time be penniless.
Meanwhile all these people are
giving generously, and many of
them have agents employed who
distribute money in various quar-

ing the past ten years vast strides
have been made in our knowledge
of what constitutes an efficient
furnace, but as yet boiler manu-.
facturers and furnace builders have
been slow to avail themselves Of
this information and apply it. Sci.
dom does one find a furnace so con.
structed as to protect the volatile
constituents given off by soft coal
from the relatively cool surface Of
the shell or tubes until combustion
can be completed. although it has
been incontrovertibly demonstrated
that this is essential if combustion

Poor Draft-Smoky Stacks.
Even in boilers with poor draft
the products of combustion will
travel at a rate of one and one
half feet per second. This means
that with the usual form Of con-
struction in less than two seconds
after leaving the fuel bed the gases
given off will be UP against the
shell or passing amongst the
tubes, where they will be cooled
below the temperature G,4S0 de-
grees FahrenheiD required for their
burning. Therefore, combustion
stops before it is completed, and.
the evidence of this is shown by
smoky stacks.
1t has been shown that it Is pos
sible at comparatively small eX-
pense to build a furnace under boil
ers already set in which high voIa-
tile bituminous coal can be burned
smokelessly and with high etticien-
cy. The dimensions and full specl-
fcations for such a furnace VIII

only be determined by one familiar
with all the conditions to be met IN
each instance, but the principles

Too Little Attention
Paid to Proper and
Scientific Construc-
ton of Furnaces to
Get Best Results.
ARTICLE III.

Smokeless combustion does not
always mean economical operation,
although highly efficient operation
always means smOkeless combus-
ton. 1t is possible to introduce a
furnace temperatures high enough
to insure complete combustion and
so obtain a clean stack, but such a
large amount of the available heat
might be used in raising the tenn
perature of the air excess from that
of the atmosphere to that of the
gases passing out through the stack
that economical results are impos-
sible
Steam jets are often recommend
ed as aids to smokeless combustion,
and some decrease in the density of
smoke emitted is doubtless effected
by their use This is due partly to
the thorough mixing they bring
about between the volatile constit-
uents of coal and the air passing
through the furnace and the con-
sequent more perfect combustion,
and is due partly to the resultant
dilution of the gases passing out
the stack. The efficiency of steam
jets is increased if the furnace
construction is so modified that the
gases are protected from any cool
ing surface until they have had an
opportunity to burn completely.
Where steam jets are improp-
erly installed, so that they sue
coed in decreasing the density of
the smoke only because they di-
lutte the gases passing off the loss
is the same as before their installa-
ton. plus the energy required to
generate the steam used.
The Steam Jet Fallacy.
There is one fallacy concerning
the use of steam jets that should
be thoroughly exploded. 1t has
sometimes been said that the steam
entering the furnace is decom-
posed into its components, hydro
gen and oxygen, and that after
ward the burning of the hydrogen
increases the amount of heat set
free. Even though all the steam
entering the furnace were decom-
posed into its constituents and the
hydrogen thus formed were after
ward completely burned, there
would be no gain of heat from this
source. The dissertation of steam
into its component parts is an en-
dothermic reaction-that is. a heat
absorbing action-and requires just
exactly as much energy to bring
it about as is given up by the exc
thermic-that is, heat -giving-ac-
tion which occurs when the same
hydrogen is burned If it were true,
as has sometimes been asserted,
that the Introduction of steam over

Animals Look Like Plants.

On the other hand, some of these
mimic forms and Coiors are so ex-
quisitely beautiful that they afford
suggestions to artists. This is es-
pecially true of the "shawl butter
fly" of India, shown in one of our
illustrations, which is said to have
suggested the pattern of the ia
nous Indian silk shawls.
Pure plays of fancy on the part
of nature seem to be such bizarre
creations as the lunar crescents on
the wings of the Indian moon
moth" and the miniature human
skulls into which the seedpods of
the snapdragon are shaped. Com
ing upon a group of these one may
imagine himself to have invaded a
cemetery of little gnomes.
But even the most extraordinary
limitations that nature affords serve
only to prove more clearly the
unity that runs underneath all her.
works. That animals should look
like plants, or plants like animals,
strikes us as exceedingly strange
when the mimicking forms belong
to highly organized creatures, but
as we go lower in the scale we find
that both of the two great king
doms of life begin to blend-ani-
mails growing on stems attached to
the rocks, and plants moving about
and DiCking IN their living in the
water, or drawing it from the air
alone, and flourishing in green lux
uriance without roofs

apparently purely capricious, or
