The annexed cut is illustrative of a design, by an anonymous inventor, for a stove to consume its own smoke. We are not aware of its having ever been constructed, but as it presents a novel and elegant arrangement of parts, calculated to answer the intended purpose in judicious hands, we give it insertion. The inventor proposes that the smoke from the fresh fuel shall be allowed to ascend up a short flue, and then descend and rise again through a tube placed in the middle of the fire, after which the tube conducts the remaining incombustible gases into the chimney. The intense heat of the tube which rises through the fire must necessarily burn the smoke, economize fuel, and increase the temperature of the room.
