Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Treatise on the Protection of Forests From Fire
Many have worked hard to devise some means of preventing glowing cinders and sparks from coming out of the railway loco motives; so far, none of these devices have been pronounced satisfactory and thoroughly efficient. If a complete stoppage of the sparks is made, then the engine cannot steam; if it is not complete, sparks issue from the loco motive.
