This form of boiler requires no brick-setting; but'after being attached to fig. 70. chamber, ee the fire-bars, g the fire-bridge, aa the tubes, c the pipe from which to withdraw the sediment, b the man-hole door, m m the stays to strengthen the boiler, h h the standard for supporting the boiler. The forms of boilers we have here given are such as are generally adopted for land or stationary engines; those for marine being arranged somewhat differently. It is impossible, under this division, to notice even a tithe of the arrangements introduced; we must content ourselves, therefore, with a few general notes. The form of boiler originally introduced into steam-boats was merely a land-boiler, with large internal flues, like the Cornish boiler; the difference being, that in the latter the boiler was encased in brick-work, while in the former the external casing was of iron, leaving a space between, in which water was placed. The plan of the locomotive tubular boiler was next introduced, and with marked success. The next improvement was turning the tubes over the furnaces, as in fig. 71: h the fire-door, b the fire-bars, f f the tubes passing through the boiler to the funnel-flue g. A form of boiler has been introduced, both for land and marine engines, which promises good results; it is known as the "vertical tubular," and is represented in the diagram, fig. 72, where a is the furnace door, b the lines representing the tubes; the heated air passes up through these, giving out the heat to the water with which they are surrounded. The tubes pass out at the top of the casing. As the water-level is below the top of the tubes, as at b, the steam is rendered thoroughly dry, or "anhydrous," as...
