consideration is farce He and Villa now control two
thirds of Mexico and will if let alone soon run Huerta

Coal and Smoke.

Smoke IL caused by failure to burn
the c0mbnstible gases that arise when
fuel IL exposed to the fame. The edi-
tor of Power describes these gases as
"a complex mixture Of various hydro
carb0ns. from some of which carbon
separates on cooling In the form Of
lampblack or SCOT. The smoker fuels
also give Oh tarry vapors. which con
dense and help to gather the carbon
particles into flakes or 'smuts.
For the burning Of these gases as
they are evolved from. the coal three
conditions must exist: Air must be
supplied above the fuel bed. the tenn
perature must be high enough to In
sure ignition and there must be time
or space for combustion before the
mixing currents Of gas and air are
cooled by flowing into or among the
tubes of the boiler"
Firing coal In large quantities pro-
duces so much gas that neither air
supply nor combustion space IL great
enough for It's burning. Therefore coal
should be put ON in small quantities At
frequent intervals.
