no more games would be played on the

Coke for Locomotives.

The experiments with coke as a
locomotive fuel which the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad has been making for
some time past at Pittsburg have been
SO useful that additional engines are
to be fitted with fire boxes suitable for
burning this fuel. 1t is probable that
the company will also use coke at
other cities, and this practice of using
smokeless fuel at terminals may be
expected to become a common one
with all railroads entering large CEN
ters of population, as the public de-
mand for freedom from the smoke
nuisance is becoming more insistent
and ordinances are being passed at
many places that will make it neces-
sary for railroads to modify tho
