Boiler Centuries Old

Some time ago an interesting dis
covery was made in the museum at
Naples. where the works Of art and
utensils found in the buried city of
Pompeii are preserved. Careful in
spection of one of the ancient copper
vase-shaped vessels there has shown
that it is in reality tubular boiler.
That this form Of boiler should have
been known to the Romans 1000 years
ago is somewhat remarkable. For
just what purpose 1t was used is not
known. but the boiler is well con-
structed and contains five tubes rum
ming across a central firebox. and so
arranged as to permit the water sur
rounding the ffrebox to circulate
through them in a continuous current.
The soldering Of the tubes was SO

1t has been suggested that it may
have been employed for distilling pur-

preservation for so many centuries

that tubular boilers are not altogether
