Anthracite Coal of Pennsylvania. 347 
~“ We are of opinion that Lehigh coal is much to be pre- 
ferred to wood, as fuel for drying malt, being more eco- 
nomical, requiring less room for storage, and less attention 
whilst burning, from its steady heat and great durability. The 
danger of accidents from fire is so much diminished by the use 
of this coal, that zt alone would be sufficient to give it a de- 
cided preference. ’

other; for one ton as mueh as two 
hundred bushels of chareeat for hat beside is not half the 
bour in attending the furnace ; an likewise for solderin 
our work, One pe ation can do more than double the work 
with the Lehigh than they could with charcoal on the for, 
and I finda great advantage in using it at the rolling mill, #
