FUEL SAVING FURNACE J^NEX. Now thnt tho opinion of the Siipromo Court of Illinois, rcnderoU jit O^tnwn, 111. on tho 13th Inst.

It Is mid thnt tugmon roeelvod the news philosophically enough, nnd will pt«iice tako steps to meet the requirements' of the ordinance by burning hnrd conl. They Imve domoiifltrulcd thnt smoko buiners, or at least the patents biouKht outio the present time can not be iieed successfully on their boats whore the drought line to be forced, and every time a bout Is caught out in heavy weather tho consumer had to be taken out lor her own saiety. The only othor course which remains open for them is to burn hard coal, which emits but very little smoke, nnd this will probablv be done, 'J he test of tho oidlnance whs mfldo by deal¬ ers In sdl'i coal who Imve, supplied the tug¬ boats with fuel, the tubmen not caring to bi defeated In the cqurts, n» they fully expected to be. The icsult of the (leclnion remains 10 be seen in tho action ol tug owueis, who ueoni to think that BOiue provision will Imve to be made to bunr the extrii co„t of running, their boats'. A coiisldbiable advance In the towing turffl will have,to be. made to do till*, as there is no other course open.

'I lie rates nre the siune this year as they were last year, hence tho same conditions prevail, fcoft cbnl can be purchased In any quantities for fcUO per ton, while liuid coal will cost not less than $6 pei ton, mid the ihPereuco In the nmoiints of each consumed is \cry slight. Vessel owners are objecting to the present tarift rates, mid it is en»y to prejudge- their course in the event of any advance on them.

One year ago the Detroit & Cleveland Sti'iun Niivlgailon Company built an Iron boat Inr the Detroit and Mackinac route. Tho vessel Is over (ill ai5leet; «tilth, JM loet; ■ lepth, 11 feet; tonnage, 000. The boat win fitted with K boain engine which came out of a vessel that ran on Lake I'hamplaln. Tim wheels are feathering. 22 feot dhiuietei, milking on iixernge 30 involutions pei mln lite. The speed of the boat Is 17 miles per lmiir. Tho sl?e of Hie cylinder Is W dlamc. ler by 10 teet stroke. The genernl iniinager of tho line, David Carter, thought by i om- puimdhig the engine they would save 20 per cent on tui'l, and lie recommended to the board ol dlieotors that this" be done. 'Ihey authoiUod the change and Mr. Carter con- trni. ted ttilh the North Uivei Ironworks, (late Fletcher. Hnrilson & Co..)ito make the alteration in ilie engine by pulling in a high pressure cylinder, JO inches diameter by 0 feet 8 lilehes stroke. The engineer ot the boat informs mi! that she makes the same time as betoro the alterations, and saves 38 per cent in fuel. —-fl I enclose you a clipping taken from the Detroit Free Press, of the trial trip.
