SHOWS WHEN CHIMNEY SMOKES
Mirror Placed in Railroad Yard Re-
fleets any Activity.

A mirror arranged to show when a
chimney is smoking is one Of the con.
veniences recently placed in the yard
of large railroad shop for the bcno-
fit of the firemen. Instead of going out
at frequent intervals to see if the as
cending smoke Is likely to bring the
company into difficulty, as well as to
decrease the volume of heat produced
the firemen simply glance thru the
window at mirror outside the boiler
house.
This enables them to accurately
control the amount of fuel and draft
required for a certain heat standard
which may vary with atmospheric
changes.
The mirror is 24x18 inches. It is
hinged at the top and attached to an
iron post at an angle of IS degrees,
so that it is easily visible from the
firing room which is sixty feet long
Altho the chimney is 155 feet high
any smoke rising from it is perfectly
reflected in the mirror.
