    Pontoneries Improvements in Apparatus for Consuming Smoke. so arranging the jets which constitutes an important feature of the improve¬ ments. Having thus described the nature of the said Invention, I would have it understood, that I do not confine myself to the precise details, shewn and described, as these may be varied; but what I do claim is, the arranging pipes 5 conveying steam to be used in facilitating the consumption or prevention of smoke, that the same may, in passing within the furnace, be enclosed in fire clay or porcelain. Secondly, I claim the so arranging the parts of apparatus in connection with furnaces; when superheated steam is employed to facilitate the con- 10 sumption or prevention of smoke, that the jets of steam may act upon the flame produced just above the fuel, and in a direction to meet the flame in its passage to the flue. In witness whereof, I, the said Edouard Besnier de la Pontonerie, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Twelfth day of December, One 15 thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven.
