What is gas coke ? Gas coke is nearly all carbon, and carbon properly burned will give out, in roind numbers, 14,000 units of heat per pound, or very nearly a3 much as the best English steam coals. Indeed, coal only surpasses it because o' the small quantity of hydrogen which it contains uucoinbined withoiygen. ltisuitcn urged tint coke cannot be as good as coal because it ha 3 lost all the heat-producing power ■ quivalont to that, of the gas driven off. It is quite true that the coke resulting from ODe ton of coal d'ics not possess the same calorific value as the ci<i! from whkh it was made. But it must be borne in mind that we are comparing coke with coal weight roit we gut. Thus, lOOlbs. of coal produces rjGlbs. of coko: so that some 30cwt. of coal is required to produce one ton of coke, and the difference satisfactorily allows for the heat producing power of the gas driven off.
