First. It can be worked with the cheapest kind of liiel. In this case, the fuel consists of clav and hard coal 

 screenings in about equal parts. Such fuel cannot he used in any other lioiler to advantase, for tlie reason that it 

 takes too long before the required heat is given off. This objection is met in mv double furnace boiler bv 

 arranging thehres alternately, and while one fire is burning up. the other is giving off tlie required heal. 



Second. The economy in time required in attending fires. One fire started the first dav witli part of a charge 

 which is allowed to take fire when the furnace is filled up. requires scarcely anv furtiier attention until cleaned out 

 c.n the third day. Second fire, started on the second day, runs till fourth dav, giving each fire fort\-eiglit luuirs 



Third, .^s one fire is taking care of tin; lioiler, the other is allowed to burn out clean ; no parth-buriud fuel 

 lieing wasted, as is so often the case m otiier l)oilers. 



FuLRTH. When fires have burned out. nothing is left in furnace but light, brittle clinkers and dusi tlie latt.r 

 making a splendid material lor propagating in place of sand ; alsc. fnr mixing with soil for pottmg, ami benches 

 tor roses, etc.. as nearly all plants like it. Tlie clinkers are much better than gravel or broken brick for making 

 walks: also for concrete for under-ground \yalls or foundations. 



Fifth. There 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 anv dust that settles wiped out in a few minutes, as well when fircsare 

 hurning as when out, thus avoiding loss of heat by letting fires out to clean Hues. 



Sixth. The boiler consists of four-inch water spaces all of which are exposed to direct heat hotli below and 

 above. No tubes are used, so there is no trouble with replacing tubes everv few \ears, as is necessar\ in anv hot- 

 water boiler that is out of use four or i\\v months in the year. 



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

 riveted. 



Eighth.— The same principle can be adapted to special advantage in the construction of steam boilers 

 where waste or any kind of cheap fuel, sucll as coal screenings, saNvdust, spent tan bark, pressed hay or peat tjog is 

 used. With all such fuel, tlie fire requires frequent feeding, and every time fuel is thrown in. the fire is deadened 

 bv the amount of cold air admitted. Everv practical engineer knows the loss of power caused by constantly openins- 

 llie furnace door. 



Ninth, The great power of the boiler. One having over five thousand feet of four-inch pipe, which was in use 

 llirough the last severe winter, did the work formerly done by three number seventeen and one number fifteen 

 I litching's boilers, and the cheap fuel used cost less than the hard coal to run one Hitcliing's number seventeen 

 would have cost for tfie same time. 



Tenth. Wliere a little waniith 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 oft it will keep a steady warmth in 

 the pipes at a cost of fuel and attendance which must be seen to be believed. With other Luiilers, time and fuel are 

 such important items, that fires are dropped as early as possible and started again in tlie 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.
