The following note from the Pall Mall will be found interesting to all steam users The Northern Echo says: We are in a position to state that the county of Durham will shortly produce a startling economic improvement in the matter of fuel combustion and the heating of steam boilers. Protection has been obtained for the invention, and in the course of a short time we shall be in a position to lay before our readers the practical details. In the meantime, we can only in the most general terms foreshadow the nature of the results attainable. The oubio bulk of fuel that will henceforth be required for marine steam engines will be reduced by 70 per cent., giving a gain to the extent indicated by the proportion to the stowage space for cargo in ocean-going steamships. The time for raising steam will be diminished in all steam boilers, stationary or marine, by at least two-thirds. The cost of fuel consumption will be reduced by more than on half; and the production of smoke will be absolutely annihilated. The process has been made the subject of actual experimental demonstration. Every test has been applied. The results wo have given above are the under-stated consequences of experiments made under circumstances the reverse of favourable to the invention.
