AN IMPROVED HYDROCARBON BURNER. The illustration herewith represents a simple and very efficient form of burner with which a most perfect combustion can be obtained and the heat held uni form for an unlimited period. It bas been patented by Mr. Frank B. Meyers of Fort Plain N. Y. The burner is provided with a casing to the front end of shown in the sectional view this tube usually pass ing through the mouth of the furnace in such man ner that the wide end of the bell-shaped mouth is flush with the inside of the furnace wall. On the cas ing is a bushing through which passes the oil supply pipe


AN IMPROVED HYDROCARBON BURNER. The illustration herewith represents a simple and very efficient form of burner with which a most perfect combustion can be obtained and the heat held uni form for an unlimited period. It bas been patented by Mr. Frank B. Meyers of Fort Plain N. Y. The burner is provided with a casing to the front end of shown in the sectional view this tube usually pass ing through the mouth of the furnace in such man ner that the wide end of the bell-shaped mouth is flush with the inside of the furnace wall. On the cas ing is a bushing through which passes the oil supply pipe from any suitable reservoir which may be a barrel or tank this pipe baying a valve to regulate the flow of oil. On the inner end of the pipe are rods extending to the front end of the tube these rods extending radially around the pipe and in the in ner end of the pipe is an opening A through which the oil is discbarged the oil falling by its gravity around the inner ends of the rods. Into the side of the casing also opens a pipe connected with a blower there being in the casing an air supply regulator by which the supply of air maybe increased or diminished the air passing over the ends of the rods and carrying the oil along them so that the oil is completely atomized and the air charged with oil vapor which burns in the bell-shaped mouth. The beat from the furnace also heats the bell-shaped mouth the tube and the rods so that the atomizing of the oil proceeds very rapidly and the gas is highly heated before it is burned. These burners are made for all classes of work from 6 X 8 inch fires for wire work and braz ingto5 X 24 foot furnaces for heating biooms. For further particulars with reference to ner manufacturers Fort Plain N. Y. The Samoan Hurricane. One of the most violent and destructive hurricanes ever known in the South Pacific ocean passed over the Samoan Islands on the 15th 16th and 17th of March. As a result four war ships of the American and German navies were total
