Coke, because it makee no smoke, is peouliarly adapted lot use in cities, and there is, every reason to believe that, weight for weight, it is a more economical fuel than steam coal. Thus, for example, in short boilers, or those in which there is not a long run in the chimney, coke will prove more economical thin cpaL Two excellent illustrations of this fact hare come under our notice. In one, a small vertical boiler, without tubes, actnally evaporated nearly 91bs of cold w»ter per pound of coke. With coal the. same bollor could, at most, have evaporated 51bs ; that is, U the coal could have been fairly burnt at all, which we doubt. In the other one, the evaporation was at the rate of β-eeib* of water to tho pound ot coal, with the boiler doing precisely the same work and under similar condition—th« only change being that gas coke was used instead of coal as. fuel; tar, β-riporation wa» 811b ot water per "pound of cofea.
