Efforts to Induce People to Use An.
thracite Coal.
In the course of deputation which
waited on the lord mayor of London
some time ago to urge that fair trial
should be given to an anthracite coal In
London, 1t was stated that there was
In that city prejudice against this
coal OH the part of domestic servants,
although nothing was easier than light
ing the ordinary fires with anthracite
and great economy resulted from its
use. Anything that contributed to
abate what was called 1.-THE fog nui.
sance" in London should. on public
grounds, have some trial. There were,
it was added, 100000 houses in London
and about 100000 chimneys, and on a
cold day about 10000 tons of coal were
consumed, emitting some $50 tons of
sulphur.
The saving In consumption to manu-
facturcrs by the use of anthracite coal
would be enormous, while IL would also
tend to remove the Inconvenience
caused by smoke. Such coal was being
largely used in Paris. Berlin and other
continental cities. There were laws,
with penal clauses, for abating the
cmoke nuisance In factories and work.
shops. \ bill was introduced into Par.
Lament with the view of applying the
same law to dwellings and 1t was urged
that no reason existed why something
of this kind should not become part OF
| our law.
The members of the deputatior
stated that they were willing to form
/ themselves into nm association and Il
conduct, at their own expense. some ex
perimcnts In different centers of the
metropolis to show how largely the use
of anthracite coal would abate what
was called the fog nuisance; but, de
spite the sympathy expressed by the
lord mayor. the use Of anthracite has
not yet made great progress.
This Is a matter for much regret, say,
the London Iron and Coal Trades Re
view. No fuel gives more heat and tn,
adoption Of an anthracite fuel In Lon
don would give us the only quality tha
London seriously lacks-a pure atmos

Remove the Shelter.

New York Evening Post: There 10
ono thing that We can do to cheaper
the price Of fuel, and that Is to repeal
the duty on coal. This tax Is 81 cents
per ton, and it spplles to anthracite a.
we'll as bituminous. Under all tariffs
prior to 1897 anthracite had been on the
free list, but q change was effected in .
rather shamefaced way in the Dingley
bill, by which anthracite was made
dutiable. The phraseology Of tho Nc.
Kinley tariff included in the dutiable
list only bituminous coal, and shaleS
and culm, but the DingleI measure
added the words 'and oil Goals con-
tanning less than 90 per cont Of fixed
carbon" There u no foreign anthra-
cite which contains - much - 90 per
cent Of fixed carbon. Thus anthracite
became dutiable for the first time in
our history. This change was made,
not because anthracite was imported
to any preceptible extent but
because anthracite mines existed
near BanfH, on the Canadian Pacific
railway. and it was possible that the
product might find . market In the
United States. In order to be prepared
for IN emergency. duty Of 81 cents
