During the session of the third Congress of tile Engineers-in-Chief of the Associations of" the Proprietors of Steam Apparatus, held in Paris on the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th of July, 1878, at the rooms of the Parisian Association, Mr. Vincotte, the Engineer-in-Chief of the Belgian Association, presented a paper on some experiments he had made with a tubulous boiler in the establishment of 3~Ir. Denaeyer, at Willebroek, for the purpose of ascertaining its economic vaporization with semi-bituminous coal.
As this boiler is of a type not much used, and with which but very few experiments have been made, presenting, also, wide differences in its principles of design and construction from those commonly employed, I considered the subject of sufficient engineering interest to the readers of the JOUR~'AL to take from 3[r. Vineotte's paper all the observed data, and from them to re-ealcul:~te, independently, the results in the manner found by English-speaking engineers the most convenient for practical purposes. I have given, likewise, a description of the boiler
