Economizing Fuel

One of the great objections to ordinary fireplaces is that too much of the heat goos up the ehiinney, anti innumerable have been the attenipts to obvíate that loss. Register stoves liave been invented, and various contrivances adapted to regnlate the draught and reducing the size of the flue. One niethod propoaed was to light the fire on the top, and, nitor the first few minutes, as the heat spread downward, all the smoke passing through the upper incandcscent layer was consumed, and so much the more heat saved, but the moment the iire had to be made up again all the advantages were lost. One of the latest suggestions to prevent the waste of heat was to form the bottom of the grate of au iron plate instead of bars. An I provement on that plan is a patent coal : econoniizer, which has a hollow pierced cylindcr rising iroin the middlo of the plat,O, The air entering the cylinder from below the grate is thus conveyed at once into the center of the tire, and the heat, instead of rushing up thoehimney in undue quantity, is ditïused into the room, and eoal is economized. The perfection of combustión is aohieved when, instead of feeding the cylindcr wifch the vitiated air ol' the room, it is supplied by a pipe communieating with the , terna! air. Andfurther, weareinformed that if oamphoi or ny other diaiafectant is hung on the cyliuder, the scent is driven into every corner of the apartment. So that a room may be perfumed, disinfected or ventilated by this eontrivance when properly managed.
