COAL DUST.

A new departure in the economiza
ton of fuel has lately been made in
Pennsylvania Ia the counties Of Lu-
cerne, Carbon aud Scbuylkill are
mountains Of species of semi anthra-
cite known as cuIm or coal dust. I.
contains 30 per cent. of carbon and is
quite ire from sulphur. II costs less
than the regular coal aud is quite ~
good for steam and iron smelling pur-
poses
Says Hazleton paper; "rhs first
trial made with the culm was under the
boilers, and it was quick v demonstrat-
cd that more steam could be generated
with it than with coarse coal; and not
only so. but that it could he done IN less
time and with u lighter weight of fuel.
Experiments were made in pudding
iron. A common double pudding fur
naco was used. temporary alteration
having been made for the purpose
The fire box WIS heightened from
twelve 20 twenty.one feet. 50 as to in
crease the CRATE surface. this being ne
cessary from the fact that the fire must
be kept very thin-not over three in
ches; the CRATES were placed closer to-
gethcr, and contained numerous small
holes. their diameter being about the
eighth Of an inch-in a bar three to
four inches wide and two and one-half
to three feet long there would be from
400 to 500 of these holes, and there
WAS about two feet Of dead surface be-.
tween the crate and the bridgewall
These were the only alterations made.
the furnace itself net having been
changed. The fuel was introduced in
the ordinary way. only it was necessary
to spread 1t very evenly over the CRATE,
and blast was used. The person who
10 conducting the experiments says he
can get up steam and melt iron quicker
with this fuel than with any other coal
he ever used, and the iron produced is
claimed to bs Of superior quality,
owing to the freedom of the fuel from
sulphur"
