The Water Tube Multitubular. In the water tube multitu- 

 bular boiler the water is contained within the tubes, the products of combustion 

 circulating without the tubes. The forms of water tube boilers most frequently 

 met with in sugar factories are the Babcock & "Wilcox, the Stirling, the 

 Climax, the Hazleton and the Porcupine boilers. 



Water tube boilers have been largely erected in Demerara, in Cuba, and 

 in the West Indies ; in the Hawaiian Islands, and in Java, however, the 

 practice has tended towards the smoke tube multitubular, although water 

 tubes are not uncommon in those districts.
