Abstract
ONE of the most noteworthy of the papers which was to have been presented at the Paris meeting, abandoned on account of the war, describes a new method of heating blast-furnace stoves. It appears from experiments on a stove carried out at the Neunkirchen works of Messrs. Stumm Brothers that, in their ordinary practice, of the total heat put into the stove about 26 per cent. was carried away in the waste gases and 18 per cent. was lost by radiation. Accordingly the efficiency of the stove was not more than 56 per cent.
