    Provisional Clares Impts, in Preventing^ Removing, Consuming, ^ Condensing SmoJce, ^c. cistern of water, by whicb they are prevented from becoming injuriously heated, and a supply of hot water is thus obtained, which may be used for supplying a steam boiler, or for other purposes. The pumps or fan may be made of galvanized iron or other suitable material, and they are driven by a weight and clockwork, or by a steam engine or any other source of power. The smoke 5 or products of combustion are either blown out into the atmosphere or into a chimney, or into a vessel of water where the smoke is condensed, or into or by the fire, and then up another flue or to any required place. The apparatus, however, gives such a command of the draught of the furnace, that the com¬ bustion is rendered more perfect, and the smoke is partially or wholly lo consumed in the furnace and flues. The excellence of the draught when applied to a steam boiler furnace, allows of the flues being made much longer and carried round the boiler several times, thus completing consuming the smoke, and increasing the effect of the fuel. In condensing or consuming the noxious vapours given off in factories and other buildings, I draw away the 15 vapours from such places by means of the pumps or fan, and I force them through water or through heated pipes, or into a furnace.
