Every boiler man claims his is "the wonder of the age" — "the modern coaJ saver.'' Who and what can you believe, that's the question. Don't believe—settle it for yourself —settle it by common sense deduc- tion. Let's take the kitchen range and the tea kettle for a talking compar- ison. First, there's the lire itself, if it is shallow, it needs constant attention or it dies down; so it is only common sense that a boiler must have a deep fire pot if you want the fire to keep humming long intervals with- out attention. The Burnham's made that way. Then there are the so-called 'indirect surfaces; ' which in a tea kettle is the part coming in contact ,,..„, ™:.u .k„ <l„«o „„„ Ur.».» »Kof » And this The Burnham as it is from the With the flame—you know that the ^^^^^^^ looking broader the bottom and shallower the water in a kettle, the more quickly it heats up. Exactly the same princ«ple, in modified form, applies to an economical boiler. With the Burnham boiler there is at least three times the fire surface in proportiort to the amount of water there is in a tea kettle. On looking carefully at the interior view of the boiler you will see this result is accomplished by deep corrugations, or waterways, which the fire surrounds on three sides. These waterways carrying: a thin, narrow body of water, it heats quickly just as the small amount of water in the kettle. If it were possible to put some hollow pipes through the kettle leading from the fire to the chimney of the range the water would heat still more quickly from the same amount of coal burned, because a still greater amount of heat would be coming in co
