April 21, 1910. 



The trifling extra cost of ^'ELEC- 

 TRIC Garden Hose is repaid in the 

 first week's use by the saving of time 

 usually spent in keeping the kinks out 

 of ordinary hose^ or repairing cracks 

 and breaks* 



Moreover^ it has a life of satisfactory service 

 three times the length of any other.

plants. The greater part of their range 

 of 720,000 feet of glass is taken care 

 of by what is known as the Eighth street 

 plant and in this there is a mechanical 

 stoker operating under most of the boil- 

 ers and which reduces the smoke to 

 where it is no longer a nuisance, so long 

 as the boilers are not driven beyond ca- 

 pacity. At what is known as the County 

 Line plant there are four boilers with 

 rocking grates, which give excellent re- 

 sults so far as heat is concerned, but 

 which smoke more than the neighbors 

 like. After considerable study of the 

 subject, $1,500 recently was expended 

 in equipping these boilers so that they 

 now consume the smoke. The system 

 employed is one of superheated steam. 

 The boiLers are run at from forty to 

 fifty pounds pressure and steam is piped 

 through a coil in the firewall, in passing 

 through which it becomes heated to an 

 extremely high temperature. After pass- 

 ing through the coil in the firewall, the 

 steam is carried out in a pipe along each 

 side of the firebox, about eighteen inches 

 above the grate. In each of these pipes 

 there are five small holes, making ten 

 in all, through which jets of the super- 

 heated steam play with great force upon 

 the smoke and gases arising from the 

 burning coal. A much higher degree of 

 heat is developed than would otherwise 

 be the case and the smoke is almost en- 

 tirely consumed. Mr. Washburn estimates 

 that in running the boilers at forty-five 

 to fifty pounds pressure, the tempera- 

 ture in the firebox is not less than 1,800 

 degrees. The fire requires much more air 

 than was the case before the jets of 

 superheated steam were used. First- 

 class fire brick are needed for the fire- 

 wall, as the high degree of heat makes 

 anything else short-lived.
