Devices Cost Heavily, But Mean Economy--There Should be no Excuse For the Increase of the Nuisance. ! New York Commercial Advertiser. Additional evidence has lately been furnished in Kansas City that there is no excuse for the volumes of black | smoke thrown off by soft coal furnac- es. Kansas City is a soft coal town and as such, in common with all oth- er places in Middle West has been a great sufferer from the smoke nuis- ance. The worst offenders in this res- pect have been the great packing hous- es, which for vears have been as bad as the sugar refineries along the East river now are. Not long ago it was noticed that one of the big chimneys of the Ar- mour packing house discharged only a thin, vaporous smoke, while the oth- | ers were as black as ever. It was as- certained that the smokeless furnace was being stoked by machinery and ! the others by hand. C. W. Armour said that in the last | few years his company had expended I over $80,000 in experimenting in vari- ous smoke consuming devices, and at last it had faund one that was prac- tical. The stack in question was fed by a battery of sixteen boilers and that even a small amount of smoke issued from it was explained by the fact that only fourteen were stoked automatically, the other two being stoked by hand. : The automatic stoker used there is | of the prevailing type, an endless chain which feeds soft *'slack™ coal to the fires. The coal is placed on the chain for- ward all the time, feeding the coal to the fire gradually. By this method there is no clinkers and the combus- tion is almost perfect. Besides the do- ing away with the smoke nuisance, this "device used by the Armours is economical, Mr. Armour asserting that it saves 12 per cent. of their coal bills because it enables them to use the cheapest grade of coal and insures complete combustion. The installation of this device com- pelled . the building of a new chimney at a cost of $22,000 and. the abandon- ment of two others, which had cost S2N.000, and the automatic stokers cost $2,000-each; but this expense will soon be more than ofiset by the sav ing in fuel and labor. If, as Mr. Armour thinks, the pro blem of complete and economical com- bustion of coal has been solved by this device there should be no excuse for the continued existence of the "black" cities of the Middle West and still less for the increase of the smoke here in New York, even should the strike continue indefinitely, making it necessary for all large es- tablishments to use bituminous coal. CLEAN ONES PROSPER. " New Journalism " is Not Al- ways the Most Successful. Youth's Compamion. There are encouraging indications of a revival of clean journalism. It is not coming through the establishment of "endowed newspapers." Few practical newspaper men believe in that agency for the reform of deplorable newspaper tendencies. The very fact that a news- paper was endowed would so far de example. Moreover, the existence of such a newspaper would imply a con fession that a really clean and moral journal was unprofitable; else why the endowment ? It is not philanthropy that is'wanted so much as business and a vood newspaper sense joined with a newspaper is not a moral tract, and can't be displaced by tracts. A man who should spend mil lions "in endowing newspapers that were too good to-stand alone would not be nearly so great a benefactor as the man who demohstrated that a clean newspaper can be made to pay. This demonstration is now sagatity being Some of the most successful newspapers re pudiate altogether the methods of the "new jourmalism." They do not dis figure their pages with cheap pictures, with - head-lines in type four inches high. They do not pad three lines. of actual news transmitted hv cable with half a column of lurid details mann office preceded by a Iving date line. They have no dragnet out dals. they show some respect for the vichts of privacy. Yet their news sé vice is of the best.
