WHY COAL IS WASHED.
The Impurities that Spoil the Heating
Qualities.

The purpose Of washing coal is to free
it as nearly as practicable of all matter
that reduces its heating capacity or has
a detrimental effect upon the metaI pro-
duced with such coal or with coke made
from such coal.
The impurities in coal are OF two kinds,
such as are chemically passive, but
which do not produce heat. but, on the
contrary, absorb heat and clog the open
ings IN the grates by forming ashes and
clinkers; they must be repeatedly
handled. shipped and freight paid for

TWO LOCOMOTIVES.
Contrast Presented by Comparison Of
Oldest and Newest Types.

SAOSSL eLl4A AtNW cot 4 PCS
\ strange contrast is offered by the
Oldest and the newest locomotive in the
world, The former, built by Stephenson
in 1922, is now, after eighty years con-
tinuous service, still working, hauling
trucks at HettOn in England. The prin-
cipal dimensions of this ''old timer are:
Diameter of the cylinders, 1854 inches
piston stroke, "a inches: diameter of the
wheels, 3 feet. The weight of the engine
is fifteen tons, and it has 4 hauling capa-
city of about 129 tons at 4 speed of ten
miles an hour on a fairly level track.
Its general design excepting the cab
remains as originally constructed, while
some parts, notably the steam dome, are
actually portions of the engine as con-
structed in 1929.
After this long and faithful service it
is not surprising to learn that the engine
Is at last becoming unequal to the ever
increasing demands made upon 1t, and
the directors of the Hetton colliery,
therefore, shortly intend to withdraw the
relic from Hetton, and it will III the
course of few weeks find a permanent
resting place. at the Durham College
of Science, Newcastle-on-Tyne. where it
will be preserved to this and future
generations as q worthy example of the
earliest period of locomotive engineering.

The newest locomotive is the New
York Central COmpany's new tandem
compound No 1899, built recently at the
Schenectady Locomotive works. A few
days ago it took a train of los loaded
cars from Dewitt to Albany in eleven
hours. The los cars were loaded with
1900 tons of freight.
This is the greatest tonnage ever
moved by a single locomotive on any
railroad in the world. Some idea of the
size of the load can be gathered when
it is realized that 100000 pounds of
freight were moved. The engine was in
charge of Philip Eberhardt of Albany

London, Feb. 10.-The apparent In

have caused a public agitation that
augurs badly for the war Office. Judg-

any of the supplies for the army in
South Africa were secured on business

are now known to have made hundreds
of thousands of pounds by reselling
contracts.
The opposition vainly endeavorsd
to get details regarding the new con-
tract for the supply Of meat. announc-
ed by the government In the house Of
commons, with the view Of ascertain
ing II q saving over the former
methods will be really effected. The
government successfully avoided an
swering, but the Associated Press un-
aerstands that the contract in ques-
ton was first resold at $4,000
premium, and then at 100000, while
Cecil Rhodes and the De Beers group
handed over 81, 900 900 and thus finally
secured the privilege Of supplying the
