Firs:(. It can be worked with the cheapest kind of fuel. In this case, the fuel consists of clay and 

 hard coal screenings in about equal parts. Such fuel cannot be used in any other boiler to advantage, 

 for the reason that it takes too long before the required beat is given off. This objection is met in my 

 double furnace boiler by arranging the tires alternately, and while one fire is burning up. the other is 

 giving off the required heat. 



iStcofui. The economy in time required in attending fires. One fire started the first day with part 

 of a charge which is allowed to take fire when the furnace is filled up, requires scarcely any further 

 attention until cleaned out on the third day. Second fire, started on the second day, runs till fourth 

 day, giving each fire forty-eight hours. 



Third. As one fire is taking care of the boiler, the other is allowed to burn out clean; no partly- 

 burned fuel being wasted, as is -so often the case in other boilers. 



Fourth. When fires have burned out. nothing is left in furnace but light, brittle clinkers and 

 dust— the latter making a splendid material for propagating in place of sand: also for mixing with soil 

 for potting, and benches for roses, etc.. as nearly all plants like it. The clinkers are much better than 

 gravel or broken brick for making walks; also for concrete for under-ground walls or foundations. 



Fifth. 'J'here is no smoke, consequently no soot. The boiler is set in brick-work, with soot doors 

 so arranged that every part can be reached and any dust that settles wiped out in a few minutes, as 

 well when fires are burning as when out, thus avoidng loss of heat by letting fires out to clean fines. 



siHh. The boiler consists of four-inch water spaces all of which are exposed to direct heat both 

 below and above. No tubes are used, so there is no trouble with replacing tubes every few years, as is 

 necessary in any hot-water boiler that is out of use four or five months in the year. 



Seventh. Simplicity of construction. It can be easily cast or made of wrought iron or steel, welded 

 or riveted. 



Fif/hth. The same principle can be adapted to special advantage in the construction of steam boilers, 

 where waste or any kind of cheap fuel, such as coal screenings, sawdust, spent tan bark, pressed hay or 

 peat bog. is used. ' With all such fuel, the fire requires frequent feeding, and every time fuel is thrown 

 in. the fire is deadened by the amount of cold air admitted. Every practical engineer knows the loss of 

 power caused bv constantly opening the furnace door. 



Ni/ith. The great power of the boiler. One having over five thousand feet of four-inch pipe, which 

 was in use through the last severe winter, did the work formerly done by three number seventeen and 

 one number fifteen Hitching's boilers, and the cheap fuel used cost less than the hard coal to run one 

 Hitchings number seventeen would have cost for the same time. 



Ttiith. Where a little warmth is required, as is so often the case for roses, till quite late into 

 summer and very early in the fall, a fire can be started about every three days, and with draft shut off 

 it will keep a steady warmth in the pipes at ii cost of fuel and attendance which must be seen to be 

 believed. With other boilers, time and fuel are such important items, that fires are dropped as early as 

 possible and started again in the fall often after mildew has got in its destructive work. 



I expect it will be extensively used in Europe, where economy is almost a science.
