suIphurle Acid by New Method.

A new method of manufacturing sui
phuric acid, an important advantage
of which is decrease in the cost Of
constructing the plant in which the
acid is produced, has been successful
ly tried in laboratory experiments
and it is believed that the method will
prove desirable for commercial pur
poses. An essential feature of the
new process is that the gases EN-
ployed are drawn downward through
spiral fiue In place of being drawn
through the usual lead chambers
where certain necessary chemical re-
actions take place. In this fiue the
gases are mixed intimately. Its walls
may be cooled by water or air, there
by making it practical to maintain the
gases at the temperature most favor.
able for an efficient yield of sulphuric
acid. The lead chambers which are
displaced by this spiral, which like
wise must be of lead, are vast in ex
tent. Since a plant equipped with a
spiral tiue would occupy much less
ground space and would not need as
large buildings, nor require quite as
much lead, the initial cost Of construc
ton would be materially decreased.

Probably wooden partitions are used

Probably wooden partitions are used
more often.
1t Is poor construction to put large
windows in a horse barn. Horses are
likely to break them, and in doing so
get very badly cut. The best way to
get well-lighted stable is to provide
plenty of small windows, which can be
placed near the roof, so as to elm
inats the possibility of breakage.
These windows are very often covered
with an iron grating, especially if they
are low enough so that there is pos
sibility of the horses breaking them.
The upper part of the barn is built
with a gambrel roof, so that trusses
will support the roof, and large open
space will be available for a haymow,
The studs for the side walls can be
placed in studding sockets so that they
will be kept from being in direct con.
tact with the damp concrete. This
method of construction has been very
satisfactory in buildings of this type.
A good ventilating system must be
provided in horse barn, the same as
in any other type. The intakes can
be placed at the top of the concrete
wall in this case, or the windows can
be depended upon to do the ventilat-
ing. Sometimes outtake flues are pro-
vided that go to the ventilator on the
roof, but generally the ventilator is
placed to take care of the upper part
of the barn. There are never as many
horses crowded into a barn as cows, so
1t is not as necessary to provide an
extensive ventilating system.
Space is provided in this barn for
about IL or ii horses. There are five
box stalls, three single stalls and three
double stalls. A room is partitioned
off in one corner for harness. The
driveway through the center is used
both for feeding and for cleaning.
Some of the feed is fed very often
from the second floor directly to the
managers, either by means Of chutes
or by openings in the floor.
Plenty of windows are provided so
that the barn will be light and SAM
tary.
