Heretofore all arrangements for burning liquid fuel in loco-motives have Introduced the Same at the back end of the Arebox, projecting the flame towards the front and generallyunder a Ore brick arch extending backward from the front tube sheet riie Southern Pacific Railway has employed oil burningvery extensively in locomotives, ami from the experience of a. -~ Section of APPLIC VTJON TO A NABBOW F111KBJX. fire brick arch is dispensed with altogether. At the back endof the Are box an opening through the plate floor, which takesthe place of the ash pan, admits air vertically upward againstthe llame immediately in front of the Are brick wall. Thisplan projects the flame toward the rear of the Are boxand in a direction opposite to that of the naturalrou rse of the draft. There is no obstruction in the Arebox and the air coming direct upon the flame, from beneath,deflects it in an upward direction, where it turns to travelforward towards the tubes. This gives a long flame-way for fuel and subjects a larger portion of the surface of thelire box to a direct heat and prevents the concentration of theloat in certain portions of the box, which necessarily takesplace in connection with the usual method. In the saving ofthe cost of the fire-brick arches alone, the saving due to thismethod is enormou
