Description:Excerpt from Indiana and Indianans, Vol. 3: A History of Aboriginal and Territorial Indiana and the Century of Statehood When about fifteen years of age he made a furnace in the backyard and supplied it with a blast of air from a home-made blower which was constructed from a cheese rim, two boards and some pieces of shingle for fans. With this furnace he succeeded in melting brass and cast iron, but was unable to melt steel successfully on account of the high temperature required. He tried several times to alloy tungsten with iron and steel, but was unable to do so, owing to the limits of the furnace. The district school which he taught after returning from Worcester was five miles from his home. For a part of the time he walked the entire distance twice a day, making a round trip of ten miles, besides teaching from 9 o'clock in the morning until 4 o'clock in the' afternoon. Mr. Haynes continued as manager of the Port land Natural Gas and Oil Company until 1890. During that time he devised a method for determining the amount of gas owing through apertures of various sizes under various pressures. He also invented in 1888 a small thermostat for regulating the temperature of a room heated by nat ural gas. This apparatus worked perfectly and he afterwards used it for about four teen years in his own home. It was so ar ranged that it maintained practically a constant temperature in the room to be warmed, no matter what the condition out-of - doors.
