An ingenious implement for sitting
ashes is the ash sitting shovel design
ed by a New York man and shown
herewith As will be understood by
the name, 1t performs two operations
practically simultaneously. The scoop
of the shovel, which is unusually ca
pacious. is meshed and bound in iron
strips. In the back is a series of
sharp toothed wheels, projecting
slightly through slots In the bottom
of the scoop. so that when the latter
is passed over a supporting surface
the wheels revolve and cut the larger
cinders into pieces small enough to
fall through the mesh. Good coal
will be too hard to break up In this
way. Therefore as man takes a
shovelful of ashes from the heater he
need only turn to an ash box with
strip on top. on which to operate the
wheels, and pass the shovel across
this once or twice.
