pose. Owing to its special construction it is 

 not affected by variations in temperature anil 

 consequent expansion or contraction. These 

 boilers are absolutely interchangeable — being 

 equally well adapted for either steam or hot 

 water; the only difference is that trimmings 

 are necessary for steam boilers. Hy adding or 

 taking out the desired number of sections the 

 boiler may be changed in size. This opera- 

 tion would be slow, troublesome and expen- 

 sive were the usual external headers used. 

 This allows boilers to be placed in very low 

 cellars, owing to their low height and com- 

 pact construction. There is a good supply of 

 excellent literature and fine illustrations issued 

 by the company. The twenty-fifth edition 

 deals largely with the various apparatus 

 noticed here, and will be sent on request.

A New 30-inch Band-Saw 



SUCH an item as the announcement of a 

 new band-saw may be taken as fairly 

 representative of the boonful conditions 

 in the wood-working machinery industry, but 

 when an addition to the fine string of machines 

 made by the J. A. Fay and Egan Company it 

 indicates a striking growth in the direction of 

 what is classed as improvements in high-class 

 work. Those who have followed the quality 

 of these apparatus as developed year by year

will recognize that it is not luck, but a con- 

 comitant of the energy of success that crowns 

 the inventiveness of the experts of this great 

 plant. Our knowledge of the output of these 

 tools shows not an instance of false work, and 

 if such an innovation should happen it would 

 be a blow aimed at the very essence of Ameri- 

 can perfection in this unchallenged field. In 

 introducing this new 30-inch band-saw the 

 makers claim it is one of the most perfect of 

 its class. Embodied in its construction are all 

 of the modern features of the company's large 

 machine adapted to one of this type, and it will 

 recommend itself to those wishing a device for 

 turning out a large variety of light and diffi- 

 cult work. The wheels of the machine 

 shown in the accompanying illustration are 30 

 inches in diameter and are taper-fitted onto 

 their shafts, which run in long bearings. The 

 column is a substantial cored casting, its form 

 giving great freedom of movement to the 

 operator. The upper wheel is carried on a 

 saddle vertically adjustable by means of a 

 hand wheel, convenient to the handler, for
