Is it not a glaring fact that in all cities where smoke abatement has been and is being attempted, the great stumbling block is the low grade of intelligence and low grade of the boiler opeiatives ? In looking upon this subject from a mechanical and engineering standpoint, we are fully alive to all the re- quirements to give complete combustion and thorough distribution of heat units, proportion of grate area and openings. Proper amount of air, conduction of the heated gases, all are carefully considered. When all is completed we have the wonderful spectacle of these con- ditions being turned over to the simple treatment of rain-jam shoveling and slice-bar operations. I claim that the fireman should know, at least, the elements of combustion, the importance of proper management of fires to produce the greatest results with the least ex- penditure of fuel. It may be said that the application of mechanical stokers makes intelligent firemen unneces- sary, a point that is frequently (and I believe without thinking) claimed by those interested in placing such stokers. This is a great mistake, well known by those conducting tests, the results always being superior with the greater intelligence of the operator of the machine. Within the past few years, in every community where cleanliness, taste and health are considered, there has come forth a crying appeal to the authorities to lesson the great evil of smoke in the atmosphere. In response to this, inventive genius has promptly come forward. The multitude of devices that have been perfected and put in operation furnishes ample testimony of this fact. Many of these, when pro- perly operated, accomplish satisfactory results in smoke abatement, but no inventor has ever had the temerity to label his machine or furnace, "No skilled fire
