The furnaces are built of brick and do not neod watching while a flro is burning lusldo. They aro four feet high with n chimney portion extending ono foot above tho main furnaco Rubbish to oo'burned is dumped Into tho furnace through a 27-inch hole, covered with a two-Inch wlro scrcon, in tho top. A good draft is secured by a draft holo at tho bottom, and tho chlmlney fluo Is covered with a wiro screen. Tho chief advantages of tho furnaces aro that thoy aro always ready for uso and aro perfectly safo.
