There is a horizontal upper chamber or receiver and two lower chambers, each ofthe latter occupying the space at the sides of tiie fire-grate. The receiver is connected tothe lower chambers by numerous straight lengths of pipe, composed of weldless-steel parts of the chambers into which these tubes are inserted are flattened so that severalrows of the tubes are possible. The tubes are expanded into the chambers in the ordmarvway. Each chamber is made in two parts, which are flanged out and joined by nuts andbofts, a copper wire serving as packing to make a steam-tight joint. The water-gauge glassesand other fittings are attached to the upper cylinder. The whole is inclosed by a smoke-jacket, and the products of combustion pass upward among the tubes to the uptake on thetop of the boiler. The length of the cvlinders is about 6 ft., and the diameter of the top. ilcr tubes. water-tube boiler which has
