New Fuel That VIII Help the Poor
Man in London.
(From the London Mail.


Fires from door to door" is the latest
scheme TO circumvent the Vaccinations of
the coal kings in London.
The workingman is to have the benefit
of fuel. which, brought 10 his door at
I'D. per block. will supply the heat for
his breakfast and will obviate the neces-
sity of wasting time and coal.
Down in Battersea an enterprising firm,
called the Ruby Fire Company, has started
little ''fuelettes" are being made for the
coming trade. These are rapidly combus
tible and will last an hour and half SO
that for three halfpence the poor man may
have warming fire on getting up in the
morning and also enough heat TO prepare
his breakfast. Three halfpence worth of
coal would not begin to do this.
A Daily Mail'' representative had chat
yesterday with j. Stevens, who built the
Eattersea works. He said
Eve have only been working a fortnight,
out already We are turning ogt 10000
packages of fuel per day.
Arrangements have been made for the
in staIlation of more machinery, and next
week we shall be making 10000 fires.
The fuel cones are made Of the best
coal, with resin and pitch. but the per-
eentage of pitch is so small that there is
very little smoke.
One great difficulty is in the distribu-
ton of these fires At present We have
far more orders than we can execute, but
we are willing TO deliver the fuelettes'
within a fye-mile radius of Battersea''
