COMPARATIVE VALUE OF GOALS
The Journal of Commerce gives table OF the
comparative value Of the several kinds Of coal,
The result Of experiments made in lS43. The
power OF evaporation indicates the quantity of
caloric evolved, and The efficiency of the several
materials as articles OF fuel:
Lbs of coal. Lbs. Of water cvaporated.
9,022 Lehigh l5I,l77
1858 Beaver Meadow 1896
1855 Lackawana 67433
y ,903 Sidney and Pctou l02 ,459
From which ii appears that
ID. Of Lehigh, evaporated 9.52-l00 lbs. water.
ID. of Beaver Meadow 9.B do.
] IN. Iackawana sos do.
ID. Sydney and Pictou All do.
From this table, it is obvious that the anlhra-
cites OF this country are farthe most valuable, the
Lehigh having twice the capacity TO create and
sustain high degree of heat as the Sidney and
Pictou. The Journal of Commerce states, in
illustration Of this fact, that steamboat recent
ly built in Canada, after the model OF the South
America, proved failure till Lackawana coal
was resorted to- which brought up her speed tol The
desired point-a fact, which may yet tell in the
history of Ocean steam navigation.
