Parth to remedy these defects and partlyfor one or two other reasons, smokers wereconstructed upon the cold-blast princi-ple ; that is, the air is conducted directlyfrom the bellows by means of a tul)e to a. €LAKK bMOKER, SIIUW^ING INTERNAL CON-STRUCTIOX. point inside the fire-box above the fire (notthrough it); making it possible to send coldair charged with smoke, upon the principle was invented almost simulta-neously in 1879 by J. G. Corey, of SantaPaula, Cal., and Norman Clark, of Sterling,111., each without the knowledge of the the two smokers the Clark had the bet-ter principle, and this, after many improve- the bellows into the curved tube. Thenceit is forced through the nozzle of the tire-boxitself. The rush of air from the latter pro-duces a partial vacuum, and consequently asuction at the opposite end. As the sliding-door by whicli the smoker is replenisheddoes not fit air-tight, the air rushes in be-tween the door and the end of the smoke, thus forced, passes through theperforations in the circular grate, and thenceout of the nozzle. The blast is cold air;and the smoke being brought up is mixedwith the discharge of air from the curvedtube. With t
