By burning her own smoke, fche Hamburg American steamer Grimm requires 30 per cent, less than the usual amount of fuel. The new furnace is of simple construction. The coal is pub in aba door in the top of the furnace. lb falls upon a grate, beneath which ia a tunnel running out under the boiler and finally into the fluea. Drawn by the power of the draft, the smoke and gases from the burning coal are conducted into the tunnel beneath tho grate, thence through the boiler tube. They find their way through a pipe into the funnel, where they are drawn into the furnace again. Thus all gases and burned particles of carbon are consumed.
