Object Lesson Furnished by leslj Plant at Fair. TWO FURNACES WITHOUT SfSQKE Although the Plant Has More Than j 1,000 Horse Power, Visitors Do, Not Know It is on Grounds Until They Enter Building. Tho thousands of cltlva-us through? out tho United Stiles who u.e de? manding smokeless cities can find on oxcollont object lesson in the fuel I? sling plant now lining operated by tho technologic brauch of tho United Slates Geological Survey at the Jamestown Exposition. With more than 1,000 ho ho power, the plant is being operated practically without smoke, as the exposition management can attest. Usually a plant with as much horse power as this one would be a nuisance iusl le the. grounds of a beautiful exposition, but so far none of the thousands of visitors has had any cause to complain. The gene.nl comment Is that visitors do hoi seem to know that tho plant Is in operation, until they enter the building. Of the total horse power, there Is "Hu on the tlireo boilers ami 235 on the gas engine. While tho gns for Ibis engine Is being made at the plant, there is alsolulelv no smoke from it. In the holler room, two <>f the fur? naces, equipped with stokers are be? ing operated without smoke. The third boiler, which is hnnd-flrcd makes n Hille smoke, but hardly enough tu see unless the attention Is directed to tile stack. Here scientific flrlns Is being shown to the visitors. While the pu pose of the plant Is I to show Hie economies in fuel, n sys? tematic study In the abatement of j smoke Is going on. A series of tests I has been outlined in advance and they are bilng followed out with much suc? cess, although the exports will not admit by any means that the smoke problem has been solved. Some of. these tests have been aimed to make tho chimneys smoke. Kit fortunately I for Hie exposition visitors, very little smoke has come forth. When this. work was first started the early tests! showed that the abatement of smoke' was a much mo complex problem than a! first anticipated. It lias been learned that the problem Is as much for the physical chemist as for Hie! engineer In that the chemistry of IheJ -'? combination of coal is involved. For this reason five experts in such lines nre now working alongside of the en? gineers. One or the most efficient methods to produco smokeless conditions con? sists of f-everal serried rows of fire-brick piers on the bridge wall of the furnace. The stream of gas leav-j Ihg (he grate is spilt, mixed und re combined several limes before leav? ing the combustion chambe.to enterI the cold boiler. It Is declared Hint the flames should nowhere touch I eoM-hentliig surface until the bites'I possible moment. They should touch only white-hot fire-brick walls and ] roof of tho furnace. So far. It is said, chemists and en? gineers do not know enough about the destructive distillation of coil |o| design a furnace and stoker with ce tninty. However. It Is the expectation ] of Hie Survey to clarify many doubt? ful points and to make, the design for' a new coal plant a matter of reason ! able security. 1 A b ead v I lie steam engineering dlvl slim of the technologic branch, head? ed by Prof. L. p. Breckenrldgc, hns been able to deduce some new and unexpected results along these lines nnd officials of the survey state that rhnnv of these findings will be given In those Interested soon by applying | to the Geological Survey.
