Wales Great Britain; at Donetz, in Russia, near

coal commands the highsst price. 1t is now mined

very erroneous impression exists with many
persons that the heauiest Goals are the most econo

case If Goals were sold by Measurement, but never

lighter kinds, when tested by the tceght and burnt

An apprehension exists with some that the free
burning Goals have tendency to clinker. Now,
as a general rule, no coal will clinker unless
greater draught be applied toit than the coal natu
rally requires. No one would think Of applying a
bellows constantly to q 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

Various patterns Of stoves, furnaces, cooking

difficulty, but it has never been done with complete
success. In every contriyance, however, which
has been invented to burn COAL the transition va
riety will make beautiful fire, and no complaint
will ever be made to a manufacturer or seller OF
CRATES or stoves when this coal is used. The
draught alone is to be regulated by damper l..

buyer to say that the celebrated free burning red
