Coke, because it makes 110 smoke, is. peculiarly adapted for us? in cities, and there is every reaon to believe that, weight for weight, it is a more economical fuel than steam coal. Tliu.', for example,. ■ in short boilers, or those in which there is not a long, rap to the chimney, coke will prove more economical than coiil. Two excellent illustratioqs of this fact have Come under our notice. In oi.e, vertical boiler, without tubes, actually evaporated nearly 9lbs. of cqld Winer per pound of coke. With coal the same bpiler could, it. most, have evaporated albs.; that is, f t.iie coal could have been fairly burnt at ill, which we dcutit. ! In the other one, the <jvaporation wa.s at the rate of G.C.Gibs, of water to the pouhd of coal, wi.lt the boiler doitig precisely the same work iijid under similar conditions- the only change being thut gas coke was used instead of coal as fuel; the evaporation' waa 811b. of water per pound of coke. .Steam users are invited to apply for a reprint of article from the Engineer, to be obtained at the Gas'! Office. ; It ia a fact that the relief-giving, powers of the Syrup of BypCiphoSpliites with Euphorbia Pilulifera is corroborated, daily, .as one of t)>e most reliable, remedies for bronchitis, asthma, difficulty Of. breathing coughs, cOlds, and all other affections c?f the cbest and-breathing organs,—Edsoa's Medical Hall* 196,.
