KANSAS UNIVERSITY QUARTERLY. 



" SUMMARY. 



" From these results, the Kansas coals thus far examined are to be 

 arranged in the following order as regards their evaporative powers: 



"[Note.— About one-half the evaporating powers here given will be obtained in practice.] 



In the State Mine Inspector's Report for 1893, page 179, a table is 

 given comparing the relative values of coals from many different parts 

 of America with a cord of standard oak wood. This might be called 

 a comparison of the relative heating capacity of the different coals. 

 This test was made by the United States Quarter Master General, 

 and gave the following results:

The chemical examinations were made by Prof. Bailey of the Uni- 

 versity, and were also published in the Transactions of the Kansas 

 Academy of Science, volume 11, page 46. He determined the
