TEN MILLION TONS OF COAL.
New York Annually Consumes This
Amount with Little Smoke.

new York Annually Consumes This
Amount with Little Smoke.
A prominent New York coal mer-
chant, while showing a Pittsburg friend
about New York on the occasion of the
latters first visit to the metropolis, took
him to the top OF one of the very high
est buildings in town and pointed out
to him the different objects of interest
that could be seen, says the Mail and
| Express. The western man took in the
[-5eautiful view of the bay and then
looked northward over miles and miles
of roofs and chimneys, over the vast
expanse of street and park, business
buildings and dwellings and then
turned to his friend with the remark
that the most astonishing thing to him
was that 1t was so clear. Not blot of
smoke married the landscape. Clear
and brilliant In the sun of winter day.
New York was clean and neat and the
greatest possible contrast to the dingy
and grimy cities of the west, where the
use OF coal Is not restricted to certain
kinds. New Workers have made a
study of the combustion of coal and
they have learned how to get the most
out of it with the least dirt and smoke.
The enormous amount of 100000 tons
Of anthracite coal is now burned every
year in New York and this is not at all
remarkable when it is considered to
what an extent the use OF coa' enters
into the everyday life of the people
The coal dealers of New York are le-
gion and the business has grown to
immense proportions. The ease with
which coal can be shipped to New York
and unloaded in order TO get it to the
market with the least possible han
ding has contributed to a great extent
to the success which New York coal
merchants have attained.
