Show CHIMNEYS Gold which escapes from melting pots and vanishes up the chimneys of the government's assay o'fflce in New York is being recovered by an apparatus appa-ratus on top of the chimney The saving probably will not ex ceed several thousand dollars a year. But there's much rejoicing, because the thing that is being saved is gold, the hypnotist. out of each 2Q00 pounds of coal mined, only 76 pounds are actually converted into mechanical energy The rest of the heat value is lost, mostly up the chimney. If gold were escaping Instead of energy, inventors soon would stop the waste. |
