rear opening of the pan. Instead of 

 cold air striking the underside of the 

 fire to cool it, as a draught through the 

 ash-pit does, we have a hot blast that 

 permits the proper temperature and con- 

 ditions for the thorough uniting of all 

 gases, thus consuming the smoke, giving 

 us clean flues, therefore hotter water, 

 with less fuel. 



With a brick lined fire-box and hot 

 blast effect, you get gases sufficiently 

 heated that you can use the three-way 

 pass before reaching the stack and ob- 

 tain heat in the top pass that is still 

 warmer than the water. "When it is de- 

 sired, a pipe may be attached at the 

 rear opening of the pan and forced

draught applied. This is most effective 

 and desirable. In bricking in the rear 

 end, just above the flue line a steel plate 

 may be placed with the handle outside, 

 permitting the sliding of the same, giv- 

 ing direct draught through the flues and 

 up the stack when wanted in starting 

 the fire and otherwise. The grates 

 should be of some rocker pattern with 

 close mesh so that it will accommodate 

 screenings and head-end cinders. 



With this combination we believe we 

 have an ideal heating boiler, one that 

 gives the most heat for the least money 

 expended in fuel. Put fresh screenings 

 on your fire, go out and look at the top 

 of the stack and see if black smoke is 

 pouring out. If it is, you may be sure 

 that perfect combustion is not taking 

 place. The gases are not uniting prop- 

 erly and you are losing a large per- 

 centage of the heat that is in the coal. 

 On the other hand, with your boilers 

 fitted up as above, you may close your 

 ash-pit doors and open the hot blast 

 draft with the result that black smoke

gases are burned and only the light mist 

 is noticeable above the stack. This is 

 not theory, but practice from actual 

 tests made on a smaller scale. 



There are boilers on the market using 

 the three-way pass, but the gases are 

 not sufficiently heated and united to 

 make the top pass of material benefits 

 The only way this can be accomplished 

 is through the hot blast principle, with 

 the aid of brick lining for the fire-box.

J. W. Lyon, vice-president and man- 

 ager of the J. W. Lyon Co., re- 

 signed from that position February 15.

 Herbert Anderson has also resigned his. 

 position at the Lyon greenhouses and
