The purpose OF washing coal is tc

win coke made from such coal.
lnc impurities in coal are Of two

Oh 'he contrary, absorb heat and clog

ashes and clinkers; they must be re-
pcatcdly handled, shipped and freight
paid for them, and are Il burden mi

The other kinds of impurities are
chiefly iron pyri!cS, an ore composed
OF iron and sulphur. containing as
much as SO percent Of the latter cle-
mCnt. There occurs also frequently
some phosphorus. which remains in
the ashes. The sulphur ard phos-
phCrUi are both injurious to the qual-
ity OF iron produced in a blast fur
mace and for this reason il is very
important that coal or coke for blast
furnace use shah be us free from
those two clements as possible. The
phosphorus occurs in the ash pro-
ducing matter. and remains there un-

The effect OF sulphur and phosphorus
IS to make iron brittle. Iron containing
these clements in excess OF certain
limits is unfit for all purposes in

years ago slack had barely any value

and 1t could be shipped only by rail
which was too expensive; it became
a burden at many of the mines. and
anybody could have had it who cared
to take it. Yet the same slack when
properly washed, produces a coke

4 Schubert DiSCOYGrY.

An interesting discovery Of some
long.lost Schubert manuscripts has
recently been made in Vienna. In ex-
amining the archives Of the Church
of ST. Peter. the parish priest I'M
earthcd an iron box which contained
a number of works written in the COM
poser's own handwriting. They seem
to have formerly been the property
Of Diabelli, Schubcrts publisher, who
confided them to the custody of his
sCn-in-law. at that time organist of st.
Peters. The latter died without MAX
ing will, and the box must have es-
capped the notice of his heirs. 1t was
hoped that the long-lost "Gastein"
symphony. in the existence Of which
Sir George Grove was always firm
believer. would prove to be among the
papers. Unfortunately. this is not the
case. There is complete copy of one
