A fan blower wasused, which kept a pressure in the fire boxes of 2 to 3 pounds. Although a great success economically, thesmell was such that objection was raised and the practicehad to be stopped. Just now the Livet system of refuseburning is attracting attention here and in England. Theprinciple of Livets steam generator as it is called, isthat the size of the flues is gradually increased from thefurnace to the chimney. The object of this constructionis to give a high velocity to the air going through thefurnace bars, without losing a great amount of heat upthe chimney. The gases under this arrangement aregiven a constantly decreasing velocity as they traveltoward the stack, owing to the increasing cross sectionof the passages. We present herewith a sketch of theboiler showing it in section. The fire is located as in aCornish bo
