And her are big "extractors." which
turn on their vertical axe at a K'd of

are for drying the wath. They remove tha
moisture by centrifugal force Inatead of

Down In the ground two stories below
the street level of the Fontenelle, are
great boilers and a mate of machinery,
supplying the motive power for a thou
sand convenlenoee, for which the new
hotel It famoua.
And here at elsewhere everything la
the laat word In Improvement.
Take the bollera, for exampe. done
now la the day when half-naked men
bent their backa and roasted their facet
throwing coal Into the mouth of white
hot Inferno.
These bollera are eelf feeders. Their
grates are built In the form of endless
belts made of Iron linka. Theso belts
extend In through the hut furnace, down
underneath and com up out In front,
where they pats beneath big hoppers,
which are filled with coat.
An aa they pass underneath they take t
of the coal and proceed with It Into the
furnace again. These Iron link belts
are operated by a little engine and a
worm gear arrangement, ao that It Is
entirely automatic in every respect. All
the attendant lias to do Is haul the coal j
In and keep the hoppers full.

The ashee from these furnacea la

Hero are also various queer looking

dream what they are. Kveryone knowa
what a pneumatic tub la. But no one
who haan't been told would know th
air compressor and pump that supplies
the apeed to the pneumatic tube.
An here la a great engine that Is
running a queer-looking machine. What
la It? It la the Ice maker. Ita specialty
Is changing hot air to cold, fighting
summer heat, making temperature that
meats and vegetable lind salada and
Ice rrcama can exist In.
From this machine pliea run all over
the hotel. Whatever a cold temperature
Is wanted they are found. The machine
also operates an Ice machine, which will
be used for making Ice for use, where
mere cold air Is not tho ultimate desire.

two words seem to denote better than any

haa not been long sine "going up Bait

believe that expression originated In Ken

regarded aa most difficult of navigation.

THE appointments of a fine hotel
are an important part of its per
sonality. Syracuse China always
pleases. Not alone because of its well
chosen shapes and decoration, but just
as much because its patterns are de
lightfully liveableand exclusive. No
matter how long Syracuse China lasts,
you never tire of it it is always rest
ful and pleasing to the eye.
Syracuse China has more than the
usual sterling qualities of fine china
ware. Though fine-grained and high
lustred, it is remarkably tough. It will
prove the superior durability of this
hard tough china body vitrified all
through.
Our line of Syracuse China includes
many exclusive patterns as well as
china to be marked with individual
monogram. It would be a pleasure to
show them to you.
