PROTEST AGAINST THE CUSTOM. First Place, in Line or Bluecoats From This Part of Town, Demanded. Discrimination. The annual parade of the police force of 1he City of New York will take plane ou Saturday next week and already there are wurmurlufis of discontent on the part of funic of the Brooklyn members of the department, who claim that an invidious distinction in the worst sense ot the term Is made between Brooklyn and Now York men. 'J'hcy gay that thia hats boon the case in all Kevious parados of the force since tho two cities of Brooklyn and New York were con-nolidated.

It is oxpeeted that at the parade on Saturday next pretty close to 5,000 men will take part. Of that number 1,500 men will fio from Brooklyn. The Bruoklyu men will form three regl-incnia in the line of march. Among them are a number of medal of honor men. Included in the latter are Patrolmen Donald McLean, ot the Flatbush precinct; Rounds-lean Tommany, of the Adams street, precinct; Roundsman Miehncl J.

O'Loughlin, of the Fulton street precinct; Sergeant Lux and another patrolman, each of whom received a medal lor heroism displayed in times of emergency. Roundsman Charles H. ilcKinney, oi the Kulton street precinct, is a candidate for the medal. While, aa a rule, much is made ot New York men who have received either the Hhlnelnnder, the Peter J', Meyer or the Isaac V. Bell medal, very little attention Is given to Brooklyn men who have in times of peril behaved every whit as heroically as their Manhattan comrades.

Tho Brooklyn men cannot understand why any distinction should be made regarding he-niism on one side of the bridge and on the oiher. In short, they think that, practically peaking, the same honors should he paid to i hem as- are shown to their Manhattan brethren. On the day of the annual parade of the force of the Greater New York the Hhine-hinder, Meyer and Bell medal men occupy a prominent place at the head of tho parade, indeed, hold the position of honor In that vpectacle. In addition to that the police hand acts in a measure as an escort to the men. There is no need to point the medal of honor men out, because there they are and no mistake.

And much Is made of them. When the successful candidates lor the honors of the year just pasb-od reach the reviewing stand they are escorted by their romrades to the stand, where each is addressed in turn by the Mayor of New York and tho medal is pinned on his vesi by the same official. Of course, this- is don- In the M'esence of thousands of admiring spectators and with appropriate music by the band. While the Brooklyn men are modest and do not believe In making themselves conspicuous, they do think that lives saved either from river or Are on this side of the river by Brooklyn men are Just as valuable in iheir way as those saved In Manhattan by members of the forco across the bridge. They can see no good reason forgiving the New York men positions of honor in the parade while they are scattered Indlscrlml-rntely through the ranks of the Brooklyn contingent.

The Brooklyn medal's presentation is usually a very quiet affair. It is made to the successful officer in Borough Hall, in the presence of the borough president Hie president of the Hamilton Trust. Company and the police commissioner, through liia representative, the borough inspector. There is no special ceremony, no ai tendance of spectators to speak ot and very little said about it at the time. Still, the medal commemorates a deed of heroism, and in beauty or design and Intrinsic value is said to be the handsomest of all of the four medals.

Onlv one Brooklyn policeman has ever been awarded a Manhatian medal, and that is Roundsman Samuel Harrington, now of the Ralph avenue precinct, who received the Rhinelander medal for heroism displayed at the burning of the Windsor Hotel. Fifth ti venue, Manhattan, come years aso. Roundsman Harrinston was off duly at ihe time, ll is practicnlly an unwritten law that, these medals go to Manhattan men. According to report there Is a bill now pending before the Legislature empowering the New i ora police commissioner to promote in rank I lie holders of the Ilhlnelandrr, Bell or Meyer medals. The Brooklyn men think that they should pi least march at the head of the Brooklyn column on the day of the.

parade, and not be wintered around. The first man to receive the Brooklyn medal was Patrolman McLean I'iLII 111(1 l.HllllMldir lllf-1 lln HID 'IVIIUI lo .1... ikL, ti hnnnp le I Koundsnian Charles li. McKlnney. who is a icide partner of Roundnnan Michael ,1.

One of them was voted to and he looks, when he wears the different medals, much the same as a foreign military officer who has been decorated by severnl sovereigns or governments of Europe, Roundsman McKlnney was specially commended by Police Commissioner McAdoo on January V.W4. for an ad of exceptional bravery in rescuing Miss Ellen Rlattery. at 1:20 A.M..

January 1. from the burning building Adams street. He plunged into the smoke, regardless of nil conditions of personal hazard, and dragged ihe woman from her bed. which was in flames. Five witnesses testified that ihcy attempted to follow Roundsman McKlnney, but were unable to stand tho smoke, which was stifling.

They said that the roundsman seemed lo have a charmed life. iss Slattery's Injuries 1 were so serious that she died eight days afterward. A singular statoment made In connection wiin me awunip oi nonor lor acts of heroism is that while there are medals given by certain humane societies for rescues made on the rivers or waters of New York, nona is given by any special society for rescues at fires on land.

"Another very Important advantage of this furnace is; The fuel can be piled to a much greater depth in the furnace than in the ordinary furnaces without seriously aftecting Its otlicteney as a heat producer and economizer of fuel; hen it requires less close attention and less skilled labor to properly fire It, and presents much less danger of irregular heat and waste of fuel. "Another conspicuous value which this furnace has over the ones commonly in use its rapacity for giving very high heat with inferior fuel." The results which Mr. Lee expects the new furnace to achieve are tabulated by him as follows: Wo have revolutionized the method of burning fuel of any description. We have eliminated grates, tall smokestacks and forced draughts. "3.

The combustion chamber consumes all the combustible gases produced in the first combustion. f. We obtain perfect combustion, and our stro products are colorless gases. "3.

In 1C88. It was conducted by three English Jesuits. Fathers Harvey. Harrison and Gage, and was patronized by Governor General Dongan, Judge West, the Tudors, Major Brockholcs, ancestor of the present Brockholsf-Cuttings, and other prominent families. ThlB school was closed by Ihe penal laws ot t'je Lelsler government In 1689.

A second effort was made by the Jesuits to found a classical school, in 1808, when the New York Literary Institution waB opened, where St. latrick's Cathedral now is located, on Fifth then a suburban rural region known as "The Middle, road." As the Jesuits left New-York in 1817 this school also was closed, and Its site, the present cathedral property, sold by them to the trustees of St. Peter's Church for $5,000. The Institution now known as St. Francis Nailer's College, 111 West Sixteenth street, Manhattan, was started in October.

1S47, as a school attached to the new Jesuit Church of the Holy Name, then iu Walker street, near Canal, with 120 students, from Brooklyn, New York and Jersey City. This churcVi and school were destroyed by fire January Tl, 1848. It was reopened in May following at 77 Third avenue, where It continued until the present college, foundation was begun, in 1850.

The question of the site or the proposed central public, library building In Brooklyn. at Eastern parkway and Flatbush avenue, was Ian night exploited by David A. Boody before a special meeting of the Prospect Heights CHlwiu Association in the Berkeley Institute. Rufus T. Greggs, third vice president, presided.

The attendance was good. Mr. Boody said in part: Section 1 of the bill now before the Legislature in Albany relating to this miijccl merely replaces the old law of 1802. which conferred the site to tho Brooklyn Institute, to the position it then held, that is by providing that a library buildig be one of the several public buildings thnt shall occupy the park grounds in that section. It is worthy of attention that this proposition was made by Dr.

Richard S. Storra, General John H. Woodward and D. M. Somers, when those three gentlemen acted an a committee of three for the Park Commlsloners of Brooklyn In 1S8K, and thin Identical site chosen.

Quoting this old rrprt, Mr. Boody read: "It appears that by retaining this tract of land and improving It there will be furnished space for two or three public institutions that will greatly benefit tho people. There could be a botaiilcal garden, an institute and a big public library, a combination ot buildings on an admirable site that would rival anything on the Atlantic slope." "Since then," Mr. Boody continued, "there has been no other thought than that the cen- trnl building should be romewhere in this i vicinity. 1.

therefore, have always said with feeling that It should he there. I have been prerident of the Brooklyu Public Library for seven years. We have spread lis Influences all over the city in a manner almost une-qualed, so that our system Is second to but one in all of the great cities of the Vnltod States and thai our sister borough, Manhattan. "It is a very difficult matter to obtain from a city government, where other wants are prenslng so constantly and persistently, the necessary support to a movement of' this kind. Brooklyn contained 100,000 poople before we did anything for a puhlie library, and then we were meted out hut Jii.OOf).

Since then we have aroused public appreciation and demand until we havq an appropriation ot $278. ffl yearly for maintenance. I have found much indifference to library work just, as this spirit shown to all improvements and public benefits at the start. "Now we have progressed so that we have Ihe promise of the city to give us thin iraei of land and erect a building to meet requirements. It will prnhahlv cost, between and By using this plot no money win have to hp expended for land, and the lew work we shall have in getting the mutter through.

At the best, we are met r.n every hand with opposition, rome want It in another part of the borough, some influential people Manhattan sav that the big central library at Fifth avenue and Forty-second street will serve for the whole city. So If we can get such a fair promise ns- we have, what else could the directors of he Brooklyn Library have done but Indorse the proposition?" FAST DRIVER3 ARRESTED.

In a lawyer's office on the tenth floor of the Temple Bar Building, on a plain wooden tabic, stands a metal box, not unlike in size and shape to the ordinary galvanized iron water bucket.

It is almost Jet black in color and His, apparently, upon its side. Due end is cut off short and closed like the bottom of the bucket, except one or two small lids, which Indicate tho presence of From the other end there projects for about eight or ten inches a cylinder of smaller diameter, like the second Bection of a telescope, and from the end of this projects a ill smaller cylinder which curves upward int i what Is unmistakably an esr.tpe The escape pipe is so arranged ttut it bads through an aperture at the of ihe window to the outeide air. At Intervals for ihe past month or more pedestrians along Court or Remsen street havo seen smoke ir.tuiug from the funnel ot this pipe and several times those more easily alarmed have called the attention ot the policeman on beji to the smoke, with the Idea that it might indicate the beginning of a fire in the big office building. The smoke does indicate the beginning of a fire. It is not a fire which threatens the Temple Bar Building, however, but a lire which, according to the firm belief of ihe clear headed young lawyer, from whose office tho smoke comes, Is destined to burn away all other fires, and, in short, revolutionize the present day healing methods of the whole world.

The lawyer who has the office from the window of which the funnel of the small stovepipe projects 1b Thomas Fitzhugh Lee. and the apparatus which looks so much like an iron water bucket with a telescoping annex Is a model, "perfect combustion furnace." The smoke which, sometimes issues from the windows is from the starting of the fires in the model furnace hen Mr. Lee demonstrates how the contrivance gives a great amount of heat by burning a very little fuel. "When I stand before this little toy furnace and seo and feel it give forth the wonderful heat which comes from it, my feeling 13 one of awe," sold Mr. Lee yesterday.

"I cannot but think of the wonderful worldwide changes that ll is sure to bring about. I feel in a measure as Watt must have felt when the principle of the steam engine swept into his mind. This is a now principle in combustion, which is so simple that the scientific folk laugh at it but we who know what It will do and Mr. Lee goes on with all the enthusiasm Imaginable. The "new principle" of which Air.

Lee says he stands in awe" has been carefully set forth in a small booklet, which gives the history of the invention, and gives a good idea of what it is hoped it will accomplish. Thirty-four years ago. says the booklet in a little town in North Carolina, Lewis I B. White, a then young mechanical engineer, became imbued with tho hope of discovering that which many bad failed to find, to wit: perfect combusiou of coals and fuel. He built and he devised and he failed.

He tried again and yet. again. All the fruits of his labor were lost; he grew old and grnv, but never faltered on the weary road, sustained always with the light of hope and with the prophetic assurance that, came to him in the mid3t ot his labors, of the success he afterward attained. "In ISi'S be associated himself with the Hon. Amos II.

Myliu of Lancaster. and together they worked on the problem of per-! feet combustion and in August, they built a furnace which consisted merely of a temporary inner chamber and a piece of boiler iron bent lino a half circle. It was enough. The long sought for principle was discovered and the product of thirty-four years of unremitting, unceasing, persistent labor, and the building of complicated forma and devices for the conservation of energy, was simmered down to a simple form of construction, proving once again that nature's secret is cunningly hidden and that it is within reach of the hand at all times. "The American patents were issued on April 10, lSOD.

Patents have lern Issued ly England, Prance. Norway, Mexico, Transvaal, Belgium. Italy, Spain, Hungary, Japan, New Zealand, India and are now pending iu every other country where patent protection can be obtained. Two subsequent patents have been filed in tile United States. In describing the principle of the ne furnace, Mr.

Lee says: "An absolutely different result is had in the final produrt of combustion for the reason that the draft Is down through the column of coal, and all the smoke and gases generated In the poorer levels of combustion are forced successively down through different Increasing stages ot heat until Anally they pass Into the combustion chamber where, if anything remains unconsumed, it is immediately destroyed, leaving only a colorless Incombustible gas to pass out of the stack." In explaining the draught which is. of course, necessary to combustion, Mr. Lee says: "There Is a constantly created vacuum which the pressure of air on the outside is seeking to fill at all times, and In doing so it carries down with it the smoke and the gases, heating and consuming them in their passage through and over the burning coals into ihe combustion chamber which becomes Incandescent and where all combustible matter is destroyed. No air is admitted except through the coal. It is fed in with the coals or fuel, and this Is the whole secret of the furnace.

Outside nf this we have nothing more than brick and lion arranged for either tho production of at cum or the reduction of metals. A more technical description would he thnt in the burning of anthracite, coke, tarry or bituminous coal, wood, waste or peat In ordlnarv furnaces, the luel next the grate which receives the best supply of air. is, in general, most perfectly burned: but as the hot gases from the lire next the grate ascends through the fuel above they heat It to incandescence, and as the supply of nnburned air more or deficient in the upper fuel, the carbon dioxide gas produced by Ihe more perfect combustion next the grate gives up half of its combined oxygen to the red hot upper fuel, in effect vaporiz ing said fuel, with the production of two volumes of carbon monoxide (a fuel gas), for rarh one volume of earbon dioxide non-fuel gas) whieh may be decomposed by lie upper rod hot coal. If tbe layer of on llu prnie bo shallow or thin, or in very Inrpo lumps, much of I ho earbon dioxide (uon fuel Ps Rets throueh tho layer of coal viUioui decomposition, hs Ihe malnlenftnco ot' the ritflit depth of fuel nil over tho prate, to prevent the formation nnd rseapo of un-burued combustible pnses. ta Impossible in tho common fornix of furnaces." In pettiiip forth tho advantages of the new system Mr Lite says To describe the first combustion of the) solid, not gaseous fuel, in another way.

in this furnace, the effect of the down draft of air mhleh f'eds the Arc. passing, as it docs, ftrsi throuRh the unhurned or freh fuel which ia placed from time time in the furnace, causes tho hnlf burned cinders below to be traversed, not by (ho coldest nir, aa In an ordinary furnace, but by nase which have propressivrly 1km ted. with the i result ha i no half bcrul cinders escape final and complete commotion, first In the form of polio" funj and as combustible gas tn the central g.t burn ins chamber. Secondly, the fuel is broupln tlrinn temperature not by currents of hot. hnlf burned Raacji traversing the sp.n ''s her ween the unhurned fuel, as in ordlnnry iumnfps, but by direct radiation of.
