Hard Coal and Substitutes.

Although the seal Of official ap-
proval has been placed by the bureau
OF standards on the use OF coke and
soft coal as substitutes for hard COAL"
the tests show that these substitutes
are not equal in heating efficiency and
other desirable factors to frst-class
anthracite. Everybody in the sections
where hard coal is the household fuel
knows this. Coke has certain quali-
ties that commend It, especially in
comparison with soft coal, and the bu-
reau Of standards in a recent report
says: with the same attention to the
fire coke gives a much more uniform
temperature than bituminous coal. In
addition, coke Is a clean fuel and
makes neither SCOT nor smoke, an ad.
vantage difficult TO express in figures"
The bureau says: The relative guam
titles Of bituminous coal. coke and an.
thracite needed 70 maintain a house at
comfortable temperature depend
upon the calorific values OF the fuels
as we'll as thermal etficiencies. and the
calorific values Of all three fuels may
vary considerably owing mainly TO
their variable ash and moisture con-
tent
The ordinary coal consumer cannot
understand that He knows that his
furnace is designed especially for
burning hard coal, and those house
holders who have made the expert
ment know that in burning soft coal
they meet many dimcufties. Smoke
and SCOT are prominent. and the coal
does not burn so long. 1t is more diff
fcult to keep the fire in" and es-
pecially to keep it in" all night. The
householder has to do great deal
more shoveling. raking and firing.
While coke is quick and clean in com.
bustion it burns out faster than hard
coal.
Whether one can get more heat out
| Of a dollars worth Of soft coal than
dollars worth Of hard coal the bureau
Of standards does not say. OF at least
does not say in terms which the plain
coal-shoveIing householder can under
| stand. He knows that he must tend"
the furnace more often. It might be
tina. some Of his difficulties would be
overcome or moderated by converting
his hard.coal furnace into q soft-coal
! burner, but the change means ex-
pense, and many persons will say that
! they have found It as costly to have
repairs or improvements made to the
furnace as to the plumbing fixtures.
! It Is possible that should house
holder have his furnace readjusted to
| soft coal he might become convert
to soft coal and never have the fur.
mace remodeled as a hard-coal burner.
He would be lost as customer Of the
hard-coal trade. It might be that mil
lions Of touseholders would think and
act that way and put a permanent
"crinlp" in the hard-coal business.
People in the District and other hard
coal sections are used to anthracite.
They demand it and are entitled to it,
but IL necessity forces them to change
the habit Of a lifetime there may come
a drop in the profits Of hard-coal oper-
ators and hard.coal miners.
