the infiammability OF the bituminous coal, with
the cleanliness Of the anthracite, and a greater
durability than either. II burns without making
any SCOT or visible smoke, and the combustion is
so complete that 1t retains the fire until all the coal
IS consumed. Not go with the anthracites espc-
cially the hard and heavy kinds. They do not
burn up. and hence the common troublesome prac-

An apprehension exists with some that the free
burning Goals have tendency to clinker. Now,
as general rule, no coal will cinkcr unless q
greater draught be applied TO than the coal natu
rally requires No one would think Of applying
bellows constantly to fire made of seasoned
hickory or oak wood and it would be equally as
absurd to apply blast constantly to a free burn
ing coal. But the heavy white ash anthracites
cannot be burnt without powerful draught, and
without using larger qua nifty Of coal than the
temperature Of the weather sometimes requires.
Various patterns OF stoves, furnaces, cooking
ranges, &C., are invented annually to conquer this
difficulty, but 1t has never been done with complete
success. In every CONTINUANCE, however which
