A novel feature of the invention Is that the chimney can be built without the use of scaf folding. These chimneys are becoming very popular and bid fair In a ahor time to entirely auDDlant brick In thn districts where' concrete haa come into general use. The concrete blocks are of large else, permitting rapid construction, and the provision for securing the liiwr in tha emmney construction is particularly In gemuua. 101 cuauroa siaes Of me molds in which the blocks are made are in three pieces only, and the ends of the molds are formed by wooden stop blocks. By adjusting the noaltlon of these stop blocks, the length of the concret block can be altered to suit the course In which it la placed, thus securing the taper of the chlmnev with. out multiplying the number of molds. ine cbimney is polygonal in cross sec tion, and may be built with 6, 8, 10, 12 or more sides, accordlna to the alcn of tfte structure.
