To thf Eater Of The ~ " Tribune
SIR: will now state all the facts concerning the |
Hasted Fuel which public feel any special interest in
knowing at the present time.
I WHAT INVENTIONS AND Discoveries HAIsTED |
PATENTS Covert In single word the combinations by mix
ing pressing and preparing for general artificial fuel
are compounded Of any number OF the following ingredients
viz: Peat Sal or Fresh Tr; Bog Muck, SaTdEst refuse
TanHts Bark and othet partially wholly deeomposed
vegetable substances; Antraett B'unnoHs or semtBH
minor, Coal dust or res Coal Coke Coal Tar NORTH Caro-
Hna Tar Canada Pieh A,phatun, Peb RostH, Pdrotat'
Yapha OlsH Fish ot OILS Lard or Grease or any other
btumnous OF oeagnous substances in such proportions
arc adapted to making best and cheapest fuel for the
specific use intended There portion Of the country
where this fuel Will be made that ese substances do not ex
LIST or cannot be had at very low price, OF this fuel
is always to deposits Of good peat which
are abundant every State and in almost every county
H. WHAT Is The PROCESS THIS FUEL AND THE
COST OF MACHINERY ADAPTED TO THE PURPosE F|sti ANY
process which will Thoroughly mix up all the other Ingredients
with the peat they all readily combine especially by the
help steam from the boiler The process
admits any valtn from labor by hand like mixing NOR
tar up 20 the passage materials through heated eyn
|
which the compound passes into the mold, Is simple ana
effective very brief exposure Of the peat the air after
dug leaves il dry enough to mix we'll Sooad' Almost any
form Of press useI from the simplest TO the most com
ex poWerful but Of the powerful and expen
ve presses required the chemical cohesion OF all tho
ingredients great that tar less pressure is needed to
make our most ca ppac fuel than used by any OF the
pressed brick pressing machines 1t can be done WITH great
apdy the pressure has only to be instantaneous
since removal the brick does not spring back bat re-
mains permanently In the form into which was hs'
pressed-what Is equal two horse poverty single blow
or fan Of the panger presses four bricks Of the ordinary size
Of building brick what equivalent to that amount SO
hadthat it requires harder blow Of hammer TO break
it than anthracite coal Ia fact have made some Of our
best fuel by pitching into barrels with scooPsbove one
ling down rapidly another can MI II up ana
the next morning the whole barrel is one solid mass |heh
could not be only by successive blows OF heavy nam
mers when It eals and sharp granite and WIN
out erumbln as anthracite coal does In this way the uei
can be made Of any shape desired Of length breadth OF
thickness.

OF from fro dollars dollars pr Mr. Atwood has
perfected small cheap bat powerful press which we sha
furnish parties making tbs ae at the cost Of mahu'ac

tArty can with small capital commence the manaae.

the benefits OF DOR experiments Tor three years and with the
reu as this Press n the best engineering science

without any risks danger Of making failures or mistakes
v To the hundreds who have applied by letter or in person,
who wish 10 know on WHAT TERMS THEY WILL BE ALLOWED
TO MANUFACTURE ms IUEL the answer Is very SIMPLE
Determining 10 give the public all the advantages Of ths
fuel 81 the earliest moment and under the most favorable CIR
cumstance decided tbat the manufacture shan be
open TO all on the payment Of half dollar tun royalty No
larger sum will ever be charged by allowed 20 be charged
BIZ our agents The be,or accomplish our objects we have
decided to district whole country of by States Territories
counties cities and for which we appoint agents VINO
are Invested with the entire control Of these patents in and
for their districts Large and liberal commissions viii be
allowed to such agents al that they manufacture or license
other persons ander them to manu- et9T they undertaking
either themselves through their associates and Licensees
10 use all reasonable exertlons to introduce the
fuel into general and far possible keep the market
permanently supplied With price which the manufae-
urers Of this fuel charge Lave nothing to dos that
nus regulate itself We know thet have made better
and cheaper than anthracite coal other fuel in e1
ence and every body that tie public not going
buy they get good article for less money OF
better article the money, or both. We know that
they do the latter.
when agents appointed they required to make
smal pas ment In adyance-no bonus for obtaining the
agency bat as royalty in ayanocby which they acquire the
right 90 manufacture certain number Of uns without any
further payment aud at lower royalty than Will aerwGrd
be chargeI also pledge OF their proceeding in the bust
ness with determination and In good faith We shall shortly
hove the fullest information the whole subject ready
guide for those wish undertake the manufacture
and we wish distinctly understood that every effort will be
put forth on our part give tie most ample reward for private
enterprise and confer upon the public by the best means
can devise all the advantages Of this fuel The exclusive right
TO manufacture will be granted under such
would enable capital 1t monopoly aud thereby
curse TO the poor Sooner than do that would pitch the
patents to the winds and the whole world make it for
nothing
vi For WHAT PURPOSES THIS FJEL ADAPTEDl
frat The lghtest kind would be klNDIINGwooD where
saving can be made Of per any other kndng
wood existence The difference between this and the other
ues is that would coutsinle coal dust and large
proportions btumnous and highly combnstibe matter

b. lan and steady fame in any quantity IRON pound

Autumn or little be kept in a sick room, the quantity
required do work could not possibly reach the cost
ten cents dny or for poor family for heating and
