COKE AS LOCOMOTIVE FUEL.

Except in the East the principal locomotive fuel
In this country is soft coal Petroleum has been tried
exper!mentally, but except In emergencies growing
out Of railroad or mining strikes 1t is hardy likely
to come INTO extensive FOR long time. Tests
have also been made during the last ten years with
coke, which is bitumnous coal from which certain
gases have been expelled by heating It in retorts
Coke has displaced coal IN reducing iron ore In
blast furnaces a great extent. ard II has several
less important industrial uses. In the experi-
ments made by the Baltimore an, Ohio road Il has
been found not only that this variety OF fuel gives
of no smoke but also that It Is more Efficient.

is expensive than coal by about 70 per cent,
while the steam generating qualities show SUI

not economical fuel, therefore. and the chief con-
siderations likely lead to Its substitution for coal

COATING COTTON WITH SILK.
PROCESS SIMILAR TO srLvER-PLATING TIRE

A PROCESS SIMILAR TO SILVEE-PLATING TRIED
SUCCESSFULLY on TEXTILE FABRICS.
A great deal OF tableware is made OF an alloy
containing copper. zinc and nickel. plated with
silver. Similarly, It has now been found prac-
ticable TO give silk coating to cotton and linen
fabrics. thus mpartng TO the goods beautiful
lustre and a soft feeling found in the untreated
material. The silk used for this purpose Is waste
that could not be devoted 10 any other service
French publication. the "Monteur de la TENT.
ure" recently described the apparatus and proc
esscs required for this work. The solid frame
work OF all vegetable hbrc Is composed mainly Of
a chemical compound called ceulose. Any cell
lulose tissue may be treated successfully by this
system. The yarn or woven goods is nrst run
through n bath OF strong suphuric acid or caustic
potash. II there be any animal fibre intermixed
with the cellulose the acid bath is preferable. BY
comprising the material with rollers the air 10
forced out OF the pores. and the liquid Is more
readily absorbed. Then, after going through Q
washing machine the cloth Is dried under tension
10 keep 1t from creasing. The tissue has now not
only been freed from certain impurities and be-
come winter but its nature has been slightly modi-
fed. Another bath is prepared In which silk
waste has been dissolved. The liquid used for this
purpose is a solution OF very pure hydrated oxide
OF copper or nickel in ammonia. although here
again an acid may be used instead OF an aka,i.
Special provision Is made. through water jackets.
FOR keeping all these liquids cool The temperature
must be maintained below As degrees Fahren-
he.t At length the goods TO be coated are run
through the silk solution. and squeezed as before
TO exclude air and absorb the liquid The silk thus
penetrates all through the cellulose. In the next
drying the cloth loses the ammonia, which Is care
fully recovered in the form OF vapor, condensed
and used again 1t is now necessary to get rid Of
the copper The material is therefore soaked In a
weak solution Of acid having special affinity
for that metal and forming Herewith a salt which
easily dissolves After fresh washing, then, the
ccllulose Is LEFT with coating OF silk and nothing
more. II this first coat is .iot as thick as is de-
sired a second and thir, may be applied. aad then
the slx-faced tissues are mechanically finished by
heetlng, caenderng. brushing. polishing and press
ing II any dye is 10 pe impaired 10 the goods. IL
IS used just before they are Immersed in the silk
solution.
