Referring to your article,
Why Smoke Rises you have
accounted for the smoke, but
how do you account for the
draft, or suction, through a
smokestack when there is no
fire or heat? If the air pres
stack is less than at the bot
tom, why doesn't it equalize
itself, just as a tube immersed
upright in water? An engineer
once told me that smokestack
drafts were still quite mys-
terry to the profession, so am
sure many OF US would appre-
ciate an article on smoke
stacks. c. D.,
South Bend, Ind"
y DON'T see why everybody
should not be interested in
l. smokestacks, for invariably
whatever interested our cave
dwelling ancestors continues to
interest their civilized descend
ants, and the cave-dwellers, even
Of many thousand years ago,
have left plain indications that.
though they, too, must have been
mystified and greatly troubled
by the natural depravity OF
chimneys, they managed some
how to tame them-at least par
TALLY. I should think that this
struggle of prehistoric man with
the smoke nuisance might well be
counted in together with the dis
cipline of the glaciers as one OF
the most important items OF his
early education.
It takes a pretty able man,
even in this scientific age, TO
successfully manage smoke
stack. In the natural caverns
and rock shelters where the men
and women Of the days OF the
sabre-tooth tiger and cave bear
huddled to sleep to get out OF the
cold and the wet. and to defend
themselves against the primary
practitioners Of war and robbery,
almost the chief subject for con-
sideration was the Gimme draft.
They had to depend mostly on
natural chimneys. If you go and
build q fire in some Of these
places now you will find what
they had to contend with and will
wonder what their ideas on the
subject were.
In fact, the chimneys and
smoke.stacks Of our time, both
tall and short, and the innumer-
able devices that have been ap.
piled to make them draw"
serve better than almost any
other invention in ordinary use
to reveal the strange caprices
of the atmosphere. My South
Bend correspondent seems to
think that the open air ought to
keep it's pressure self.adjusted at
the top and bottom of a tall
smoke-stack, which has no fire
burning at the bottom, but he
would have very different idea
of the constancy and regularity
Of air press'}E@, or air density,
The Washington times., 1923-03-31

, If he tried plotting an airship
ter while.
When he found himself sud-
denly dropping down an atmos-
pheric hole" as If perfect empti-
ness had all at once yawned
beneath him, he would under
stand what an unreliable and
Whimsical thing atmospheric pres.
sure Is. OF course, when, as must
often happen, the pressure at the
top of a chimney shaft is pro-
portional to the elevation, there
will be no tendency Of the air in
the tube to be pushed up by the
heavier air surrounding the base.
There will be equilibriunI between
top and bottom.
But let the atmosphere about
the top of the shaft become
heated by the sun, or by the ar
rival OF a horizontal slant of wind
consisting of air a little warmer
than that which before existed
there, and draft may be created
up through the tube, because the
decrease of density of the air at
the top tends to produce q rising
motion.
Or, the mere blowing of a wind
across the upper opening may
create a rarefied region there
whose existence will start a draft.
Sometimes, however, dependent
upon circumstances very difficult
to untangle in their momentary
details, a cross-breeze will alter
nately start and stop a draft.
This Is the origin of the many
inventions in the shape OF CHM
ney pots, and revolving screens
intended to make all breezes act
alike to create a draft, or to aid
the draft If one already exists due
to fire below.
The mere warming by a hot
sun of the brick walls Of a high
chimney may suffice to create an
upward draft which may be COM
municated to the air in the Chin
ney as well as outside OF it. Amy
body who has stood close to the
top of the wall of a lofty build
ing, or to the edge of bare pre-
cipice, may have felt the upward
draft of the sun-heated air.
The rule for the intensity. or
force. of the draft of chimney
is that it equals the difference
between the weight Of the column
Of hot gases inside and the
weight of a column OF the ex.
ternal air of the same height.

The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-02-15

~ N 1877, when Chiefs Joseph and Looking Glass of the Nez Perces took
the val path with several thousand wdl-armed warriors and threat
ened to massacre every white man, woman and child in the Bitter Root
and Flathead valleys, the whites would have been att their mercy ex
- cepting for n man-another Indian chief. That man vas Chariot
head chief of the Selfish tribe of the Flathead nation.
Chariot and Joseph yer friends. Their people had hunted together
and many of them had intermarried. On On point Joseph and Chariot did
not agree, and that point "a the Indians attitude toward the white set
tiers Joseph had opposed them bitterly as foes dangerous to the welfare
of his people, realizing that the a with the pillow is more dangerous to
uncivilized people than the man with the sword. Chariot had welcomed
the strangers and shared with them the acres of his beloved valley. With
paternal soHcitude he had protected the white people, and at this crisis
Chariot and his warriors rode out of the Lo Lo pass to meet the blood
lustng Nez Perces, with Joseph at their head. Around the right arm of
Chariot ws tied a white handkerchief in token of truce. When the two
chiefs faced each other O the summit of the divide, Chariot spoke, slowly,
weighing his words, a. me who has made a decision that may cost much,
yet which is irrevocable. He said:
Joseph, + have something to say to YOU 1t will be in a ew words.
You know I am not afraid of you. You know that 1 have more warriors
than you have with you. If you are going through the Bitter Root valley
you must not hurt any of the whites. If you do attack them you will have
me and my people to fight. You may camp atm my place tonight, but tomor-
row you must pass on"
Joseph looked at Chariot for a moment in silence. His decision was
made. He would pass through the Bitter Root, but the whites we're safe.
He did so and was forced into battle by General Gibbon on the Big Hole
within two weeks.
Chariot had saved the white settlers, but what wa his reward? What
did a grateful government d o o reward him 1t did precisely what tit mad
alleged treaty, which Chariot did not sign, took from him and his people
their heritage. II refused to recognize him as head chief, hereditary ruler
of his people, denied him the pension to which he was entitled and reduced
him o a pauper.
That was CharIots recompense. A shaft of stone should be erected
to his memory Of the 10 Lo pass. This most pathetic figure in Montanas
early history ws the best and truest friend that the white men had among
the great chiefs of tn Indiant tribes.
