extended above the roof of the houses
and to leave the top of the chimney
uncovered.
Chimneys of industrial plants are
carried to great height for more
than one reason. but the principal
reason is that tall chimney or stack
secures better or a stronger
draught An authority has said that
other things being equal. the We
locity of the ascending air current in
chimney varies as the square rooe
of the height of the shaft above the
grate.' The reason for this draughe
or upward current is that the air il
the shaft on being heated by the hre
in the CRATE rises. and as 1t rises cold
air and heavier air flows in at the
bottom to take its place, and this on
being heated rises also. in this way
establishing and maintaining the up
ward current. Up to certain point
the velocity Of the air current in
creases with the increase in the tenn
perature. In some very tall chimneys
it is said that where the air is heated
to very high temperature the We
locity of the air current may be sixty
feet a second, or very close upon the
rate Of forty-one miles an hour. This
is said to be an unusual velocity. and
that in the ordinary stack OF 100
feet or $50 feet height the air current
generally moves upward at about
twelve feet second. In some chem
ical and smelling works chimneys are
carried to a great height. not for the
purpose OF increasing the draught,
but for the purpose OF safely dis
charging disagreeable and perhaps
noxious gases.
Industrial chimneys or staclte are
nearly always round. but here and
there about the world one secs old
stacks that are square or octagonaL
The round or circular form was
adopted because 1t was proved that a
chimney of that form required less
material for a given height to insure
it's stability and offered least resist
ance to the pressure of the wind.
The octagonal form offers less re-
sistance to wind than the square
form, but olden builders found thst

About Chin1neys.

THE word chimney" is older than
L that thing which we now call
chimney and which many of our an
cestors in the British Isles only a few
centuries ago generally pronounced
.chimley' and "chimbley," and varl-
ous other ways The Greeks had a
word which they probably got from a
language older than their own, which
meant a furnace or an oven. That
word was "kaminos.'' The Latins, or
the early Romans, took that word and
made it over. or at least respelled 1t
as "caminus'' and by it they meant a
hearth or fireplace. In old French the
word appeared as "cheminee," mean
ing hearth fireplace or stove. and
"cheminee" came into English in Nor
man times, and hence our present
word chimney" With US it means
the vertical structure acting as an
escape for smoke and gases from a
stove or furnace.
Houses were built and dwelt in many
centuries before they had such an ac-
cessory as we call chimney. In dwell
ings of the remote past the smoke
of an interior fire was allowed to es-
cane through openings in the roof or
walls The present chimney is some
thing that is relatively new in arch
itecture. Many of the castles and
other buildings in Europe which were
constructed before the fifteenth cen
tury have no chimneys. In some OF
them a fiue leads from the back and
above the open fireplace through the
wall to the outer air. 1t was sonie-
where about the thirteenth century
that in certain buildings the masons
began to run the flue to the top of the
building. but the chimneys OF that
,,eriod had openings or outlets on the
side, the top being rooted over. 1t

masons began to build chimneys that
