time During Friday Night
Mo Clues Discovered.

several automatic revolvers were
stolen by the marauders, who made
good their escape.
The robbery was not discovered un-
til the store was opened for business
this morning
Entrance was gained through the
rear door. The robbers apparently
first cut through the outer screen, and
then attacked the lower panel Of the
inner door.
Finding this long job, however,
they turned their attention to the
glass panel In the upper part of the
door, which they removed, and reach
left in the keyhole. They also slipped
back the bolts, which had not been
locked in place.
Safes Are Attacked.
They then entered and proceed to
rifle the establishment. The two safes
in the rear part of the store, were ap-
parently attacked with a diamond drill
as was indicated by marks found on
the door this morning. This attempt
was apparently soon given up how
ever.

most valuable articles which could be
reached conveniently.

jewelry and $40 in cash taken from

safes which the marauders attacked

been concerned in the crime, but so
far no clue to their identity has been
secured.

BLOWING OUT BOILER TUBES.
Much Gain In Fuel Economy Proved
to se Had by Following This


Tests have demonstrated that I'VE to
ten per cent. gain In fuel economy may
be obtained through the regular blow
Ing OF 300 from boiler tubes. SCOT
interposes additional resistance to the
flow OF heat, and It's removal increases
the ~coeflcient Of heat transmission
and thus reduces the iue gas tempera-
ture.
If boiler surface il maintained free
Of SCOT and the superheater surface
neglected there will be only a small
excess temperature Of waste gases,
because b superheater surface is
only a small per cent. Of the total,
says the Boilermaker.
But there is a decided loss in econo
my, because the superheater tempera-
ture will be very much less than that
to be obtained with clean superheated
tubes. 1t is quite possible for super
heater tubes to be so covered with
SCOT as to reduce the superheater tenn
perature so degrees below normal.
equivalent to five per cent. or more
excess steam consumption. Ordinar-
lily boiler and superheater surface
should be blown a number OF times a
day, and II this course is pursued the
duration of blowing need be very
short.
The ~superheater blower Is first .op-
Grated, the SCOT being carried by the
draft into the boiler setting, from
WHICH it flows to the up-take. Such
parts Of the SCOT as are redeposited In
the boiler are then dislodged when the
boiler Is blown.
In d to insure regularity in the
blowing of the superheater and boiler
surface, also in blowing on mud
drums. 1t is a good plan to rig up some
automatic device. which will record
he time at which soot blowers and
mud-drum blow-ofs are operated.
