The holes E, instead 'of being formed in the circular part-v .0f the escape pipe, may beformed through a ilat surface at the lower end ofthe pipe Gand covered by a slide valve'. There are a number of modications of this part which might be yintroduced and used with the same. effect as that beforey described, and which embrace the same'generalprinciple. e

Now, .the operation of thisimproveinent is as'follows: If a light draft isdesired, I close lthe holes E by the movement of the'valves F,
so as to cover the holes.. 'If a strongl draft is required, I open the-holes by such amovement A of the valves as to fuucoverthe holes E, and the strength ofthe draft is regulated by the number of' holes that are closed r unclosed, the less number of holes that are opened causing a light drat't,.an'd the strength of the draft increasing as moreand more holes are opened.` In this way the-engineer has complete control xof the -drat't and can 'change it in a momentwhen desirable, and thus procure just suffi'- cient draft to produce complete'combustion of the fuel, without raising theinders from What'I claim as myimprovement to secure by Letters Patent, is'-4 s Providing the escape-pipe C with openings alves F, operating Vsubstanf or holes E andy tially as-andfrthepurpose specified. e PHILLIP H.1'GDRLETT.
