COKE PROVES GOOD
COAL SUBSTITUTE
Equals Anthracite in Some
Types of Boiler, U. S. Bu-
reau Tests Reveal.

The seal of official approval was
coke and bituminous coal as substi-
tutes for anthracite. in the publica-
tion today Of report giving the re-
suits Of comparative tests made by
the bureau of mines.
Using types Of boilers common to
the small apartment house and in
dividual dwelling, the bureau found
that the efficiency of coke and Of
some grades Of bituminous was as
high as that of the best anthracite.
I'm fact" the report said, two
boilers gave somewhat higher eff
ciencies with coke than with anthra-
cite. The efficiencies obtained with
Pittsburgh and Illinois coal (bitumi-
nous) were s to 20 per cent lower
than that obtained with by-product
coke"
at the Pittsburgh and Minneapolis ex-
pertinent stations The report from
Pittsburgh showed that ten tons of
soft coal from that locality would
equal in heating value nine tone Of
coke or eight and one-half tons of
boiler, and ten tons of coke or nine
tons of anthracite, when burned in
the second type. The Minneapolis
tests showed that ten tons of Illi-
nois coal was equal to seven and one
half tons Of coke or anthracite, when
burned in the first type Of boiler. and
to eight and one-half tons OF coke
or anthracite, when burned in the sec
ond or larger type.
Coke Is Better.
with the same attention to the
fire." the bureaus summary declared,
coke gives a much more uniform tenn
perature than bituminous coal. In ad-
dition, coke Is a clean fuel and makes
neither smoke nor Soot-an advantage
difficult to express in exact figures. 1t
is nearly as good a fuel as domestic
sizes of anthracite, and If anthracite Is
unavailable at reasonable prices by
product coke makes a good substitute.
1.-The relative quantities of bituminous
coal, coke and anthracite needed to
maintain house at a comfortable tenn
perature depend upon the caloriffc val
ues Of the fuels as well as thermal
efficiencies; and the caloriflc values of
all three fuels may vary considerably
owing principally to their variable ash
and moisture content"
