engineer in Germany, will interest those of |
our readers who make living by making |
steam: "a quantity of washed slack. |
holding 10 per cent of water and 90 per |
cent of ash, evaporated 81 pounds of wa
,er per pound of fuel, while the same coal |
With only 8 per cent of water made from |

ect loss by using wet coal of II per cent"
