To stop the emission of smoke from the stacks of cold loco-motives that are being fired up in engine houses, is a task noteasy of accomplishment: in fact, to our knowledge, no meanshave been developed that will cope with this feature, and con-sequently the next important and necessary move is to providesome method of taking care of the smoke thus made; viz., clean-ing it to a point that will render it unobjectionable before it isturned out to the atmosphere.
