the Economy of Burning Small Coal

The Economy of Burning Small Coax
1t is a common delusion that a small
fuel must necessarily be Of low calorif1c
value, and accordingly Of doubtful eco
nomic value even If 1t can be burned.
AS O matter Of fact, many small fuels
are of excellent calorific value, and
when burned with suitable appliances
will show a phenomenal saving. Again
and again have / seen an evaporation
Of ten pounds Of water per pound or
fuel obtained with slack from Welsh
steam coal costing from 5 to 6 shillings
per ton less than the large coal. Slack
from a good Welsh steam coal is really
remarkable value for money as COM
pared with the large coal from which
II Is separated. Generally speaking,
twenty tons OF such slack will eyapo-
rate fully as much water as nineteen
tons OF the large coal, and assuming
their respective costs per ton to be 10
shillings and 20 shillings the saving to
the steam user Will be the difference
In cost between twenty tons at IL
shillings per ton and nineteen tons at
20 shillings per ton, say f4.-W. f,

WHO PAID FOR DRINKS?

"Now, here is the best yarn of the lot
and a good puzzle for the Sunday papers
to print" said the man with the alkali in

Several years ago American silver coin
In Mexico was ON the same basis as Mexl-
can silver was at that time, and still Is in

Drinks in El Paso and In Juarez, the Mex
lean town ACROSS the line, We're a bit
piece, or 121s cents, as you fasteners
would say.
"In those palmy days a citizen Of Ell
Paso could go into a drinking emporium
and buy drink, paying for with an
American quarter. The bartender would
hand him back a Mexican quarter, which
was, Of course, worth 121a cents in Texas.
"Then with this Mexican quarter in his
hand the citizen could cross the bridge
to Juarez and there buy another drink,
laying his Mexican quarter on the bar
IF the Greaser barkeep should give
him in change an American quarter worth
12K cents In Mexico the joyous citizen
could return to Uncle Sans back yard
and repeat the process.
Now, the question Is: Who paid for
those drinks?"
