Coke, because it makes no smoke, is peculiarly adapted for use in cities, and there Is every reason to beliovo 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 lone run la the chimney, coke will prove more economical than coal. Two excellent illustrations of this fact have come under our notice. In one, a small vertical boiler, without tubes, actually evaporated nearly 91bs of cold water per pound of coke. With ooal the same boiler could, at most, have evaporated 51bs ; that is, if the coal could have been fairly burnt at all, which we doubt. In the other one, the evaporation was at the rate of 6 - 66 Ibs of water to the pound of coal, with the boiler doing precisely the same work and under similar conditions—the only chance boiHg that gas coke was used Instead of coal »> fuel; the evaporation was B'llb of water per pound of coke.
