Instead of blowing down coal in

obviate the wasteful shattering of the
fuel. The cartridge is 20 inches in

Of the application OF pressure OF
some three tons per square inch. The
total pressure Is about sixty tons.
When inserted In a hole the cartridge
is coupled UP with small hand pump.
1t is said that in few minutes after
the apparatus has been at work the

Of water are used In the operation.
