The New COmbu>tihIp

We stated, says Galignani's Messen-
ger, a short time ago, that a Belgian
peasant had made the extraordinary
discovery that earth, coal and soda.
mixed up together, would burn as we'll
and better than any other combustible.
and the fact has since then been proved
beyond a doubt. The way in which he
found this out is curious. He had
been seraping the floor of his cellar
with shovel In order to bring all the
little bits of coal lying about into a
heap, which, mixed as it was with
earth and other impurities, he put into
his stove. To his establishment he
found that this accidental compound
burned better instead of worse than he
expected, and emitted much greater
heat. Being an intelligent man, he en-
deayored to discover the cause, and
found that a great deal of soda. prob
ably the remnant of the last wash, Law
about on the floor of the cellar. and
that some of 1t must have got into his
heap. He then made a few expert
ments aud mt length improved his con
pound sufficiently To render 1t prac-
tical. The publicity given in Belgium
to this discovery caused trials TO
he made everywhere, and it has
been ascertained that three
parts of earth and one of coal dust.
watered with a concentrated solution
of soda, will burn well and emit great
heat. Many Partisan papers talked Of
IT, but only one, the Moniteur. went
so fan as to make the experiment ut it's
printing office. cert in quantity of
friable aud slightly sandy earth was
mixed with the quantum of coal-dust
prescribed the two INGREDIENTS were
well incorporated with each other, and
then made into paste with the solu-
tion above mentioned. The fire place
of one of the boilers had previously
been lighted with coal, aud the fire was
kept mp with shovelsful OF the mixture
The latter, in a few seconds, was trans
formed into a dry brown crust, which
soon after became red hot, and then
burned brightly, but without being
very rapidly consumed. The fact Of
the combustion is therefore well ascer.
tanned but before the system can be
universally adopted there are some i'm
portant points to be considered, such
as the caloric power of the mixture
compared To that of pure coal. its
price, and, above all remedy for the
great drawback attaching to IL its
