Producing Fuel with Water.

A coal-washing plant has been erected al
cOlliery in Yorkshire, England. The plant
has a capacity Of four hundred tons per
day, but has dealt with five hundred tons
by the wet process. The system adopted Is
carefully sizing the smudge and automali-
cally washing and rewashing after crush
ing the various sizes. The plant is driven
by a lOO-borse-pOwer steam engine,
and the water used in the process
Of washing is circulated by means OF
powerful centrifugal pump, when
when in full work, ciIcuates nearly hve
tons Of water per minute. The object IN
erecting this plant was 10 produce hlgh
class coke out Of a mixture Of very dirty
b ard and and soft smudge. The coke pro
duced is often Of uniform quality, and the
ash in the coke il steadily kept below four
Der cent. Besides the pi eparalion OF smudge
for the coke ovens a quantity OF small peat
suitable for fuel, is produced by the washer.

ages, the trick that brought Clusters men
riding fearlessly into the ambush, the rak-
ing lire OF the Indians after their first fierce
slaught, and the battle 10 the death by the
blue-c0ated cayalryman, were all depicted
in manner that sent a thrill OF passion
through many OF the spectators.
The Indians were in their war paint,
fully armed with rifle and Ratchet, and the
soldiers were on their horses, just as they
were on the fatal morning of the slaughter.
The charge OF the cayalrymen, the 'yells OF

prove one OF tn. best Of F0repaugh's at
