A very erroneous impression exists with many
that the heaUiest Goals are the most econo
mcal for ordinary purposes. This might be the
case if Goals were sold by measurement, but never
able work. (Statistics Of Coal) the details are given
to show that 81 pounds Of a free burning red ash
yielded more heat to q room in fifteen hours than
81 pounds Of a heavy white ash coal, making the
red ash at S. so to be more economical than the
white ash at 81 81 per ton. Any person accus-
toned to use these heavy Goals will be astonish-
ed at the saving which can be made in burning the
lighter kinds, when tested by the soeigh and burnt

An apprehension exists with some that the free

greater draught be applied to 1t than the coal natu-
rally requires No one would think Of applying
bellows constantly to q fire made Of seasoned
hickory oak wood, and it would be equally as
ing coal. But the heavy white ash anthracites
cannot be burnt without a powerful draught, and
without using larger quantity Of coal than the
temperature of the weather sometimes requires.
Various patterns Of stoves, furnaces, cooking

difficulty, Tut it has never been done with complete
success. In every contrivance, however, which
has been invented to burn COAL the transiiien va
