King, of Baltimore, formerly naval officer at that port, has, it is said, been decided upon at the State Department for Consnl- General at Paris. The appointment IS attributed to the close personal and po- litical friendship existing between Geu- eral King and Secretary Blaine. Gen. eral Kings name was mentioned early for collector of the port of Baltimore, and the influence of Mir.

FUEL FROM COAL DUST.
An Invention by Which Millions VIII
ProbahIy Re

An Invention by Which Millions VIII
Probably Be Saved.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov 8.-The Reading
railroad officials, headed by President
Corbin and accompanied by represent
ative of the United Press, visited the
company's coal plant at Mahonoy City
Wednesday to inspect a new process of
making fuel from coal dust. Hereto
fore about one-seventh Of the product of
the coal mines has been lost in dust 1t
is now INTENDED to utilize the dust
by making it into bricketts that will
no clinkers and the brlckett burns to
ashes
The new process consists Of the coal
dust being evenly distributed with one
tenth per cent. of pitch. This, by an
ingenious cOntrlvance. is pressed with
great machines into large cakes steam
being used to soften the mass, SO hard
does it become that it possesses the
same power of resistance as coal, or in
other words 100 pounds of coal-dust
pressed will last as long as the same
amount of hard coal.
A pressure Of thirty-five tons is
brought to bear n each brickett There
are two presses in operation now, and.
when run to their full capacity, will
turn out about 500 tons of the bricketts
in twenty-four hours. The bricketts
take up % per cent less space than Or
dinary coal, and, in consequence an
engine can be loaded to go one-fourth
further without replenishing the supply
of fuel
All the officials express themselves
very much gratified by the new process
and expect the company will be enabled
to save from $50, 600 to $40, 600 per year
by the use of the fuel
Mr.. @. M. Jacobs, an expert in fuel
making, has been brought from Eng
land to superintend the works. A COM
pany has been formed with Austin
Corbin as president for manufacturing
this fuel and it is intended to place It
on the market for lower price than is
now paid for coal
