Boston Herald tells of a "simple device," Invented b^ a Boston gentle man which is expected 0* work a rev­ olution in the tnecliods of rotating, and lave In the cost of insurance/^on some classes of property. The idea af to use - friction as a practical means of rapduc- Ing heat. The Herald describes^lihe . , invention as follows: *At the time of the Ashtabula horro where so many persons were burned to death by the wrecked care catching Are from the stoves, Mr. Webster Wells tin Professor «»f Mathematics at the /**~nassachusetts"Institute of Technology, began to consider the problem of heat- ingathe can without fire. He has now aolved it. His invention consists of a •trong iron cylinder, at one end of which, inside, is a fixed plate of har­ dened iron, against which, firmly at­ tached to a revolving shaft, another plate presses, either closely or Hghtly. as required. The cylinder is filled with water, and this heated by the friction of the two plate;, circulate through pipes, warming the room ^trough whichjthey run, just as steam pipes do. The water is kept in con­ stant circulation in these ripes, re­ turning to the cylinder to be heated over again. The water in the cylinder which is brought to a high degree of beat in a remarkable short time, keep* the plates lubricated aud prevents their wearing away at a rapid rate. When worn away the cost of renewing iheia Is trifling, and the machine has no complicated work about it so it Is easily kept in repair. The power re­ quired to run the machine is so slight that the waste, or surplus power of the engines in use for running eleva­ tors and other machinery In hundreds Of 'buildings throughout the city ir inongh for all ordinary purposes. The .Machine can be utilized in all places where power Is used. The ordinary •feed machine has thirty-eix square inches of friction surface in its plates, sufficient,HI*said, te heat 10,000cubic feet of space. This requires but half a horse power. A machine with 265 square inches of friction, requires but four horse power, and would heat * room 60x200 feet, or containing 126,000 cubic feet. In railroad cars the ma­ chine is operated by power taken di­ rect from the wheels, doing away with •11 danger from fire in case of a smash upj When the cars are standing still, the machine can be run by power front the locomotive, by a contrivance some* what like that which operates the Weatinghou.se break. In tnilte it U calculated that a great saving can be tnade, both tn fuel and the rate of In­ surance. especially in those run by water power. The agent of a mill where water power is used, estimates that in twenty years,' lyr the use of 'this device,* saving of £l&.9KU& fuel alone could he eflected. Prof. Wells Is l»w in JSnrope, looldng out for his patents there. The machine has no«v ttteti In operation in Boston for* seven iftontbs."
