The amount of deterioration which
coal undergoes when long exposed un.
protected to the air and dampness has
recently been investigated by Warren
strass. He found that 10 many cases the
loss due to oxidation and development,
of gases, which form the most valuable
parts of the coal, amounted to one.thirt
of the original weight, while in this cas-,
the caloric or heating power of the Goa
was reduced to less than half-even to a
little as Al per cent. of the original heat
ing power. The same coal kept under
shed protecting it against the rain los
much less, while when placed in CLOSED
warehouse, but exposed to the air, it los
in the same time scarcely rs per cent. o
gas and 10 per cent. of the caloric power
, He found further that in general btu
minous coal changes more rapidly tina
anthracite.

The civilrghts bill sc do not regard with

bitterly opposed to the present bill, and con-
