expense being principally in putting in water CRATES
as we find the intense heat generated by coke
renders cast iron CRATES unservceable The great
advantage OF coke is that It is both dustless and
smokeless and on a where in burning coal
three bushels OF ashes would remain there is
scarcely a handful when coke is used While the
cost is the same as that OF bitumnous coal IT has
innumerable advantages over H. and we estimate a
