operation, is as sure as fate and is al- 

 ready decreed. The only point still to 

 be determined is the amount of the 

 boost. Neither does it follow that a 

 settlement with the anthracite miners 

 can be reached as promptly as with the 

 bituminous miners. Nevertheless, the 

 situation is much better than it might 

 be — much better than any except the 

 most optimistic of observers had dared 

 to- hd^e it would be. Present prices, 

 on smokeless coal as on othe'r grades, 

 ^ are uncertain. Few sales are being 

 made at the full circular prices. 



DUBABILITT OF COIL BOILERS. 



I use two boilers. When I bought 

 them I wanted to put in coils of 2-inch 

 pipe instead of the boilers, but I was 

 told that the pipe would burn out in 

 about two years if I used soft coal as 

 fuel, and that it was cheaper, there- 

 fore, in the long run, to buy boilers. 

 Now, if that is true, why is it econom- 

 ical to use water-tube boilers f I ex- 

 amined one of the tubes used in a 

 water-tube boiler and it was of steel 

 and not more than half as thick as a 

 2-inch pipe, and the fuel used was soft 

 coal. H. B. — Ohio. 



Under proper conditions a heating 

 coil made from 2-inch pipe should last 

 much longer than two years, but a 

 cast-iron or a tubular steel or wrought- 

 iron boiler would usually last still 

 longer. Screw joints are used in mak- 

 ing coil boilers, and, unless great care 

 is taken, several of the threads will be 

 exposed at each of the joints. It is 

 here that the corrosion will be most 

 rapid. While 2-inch pipe will last 

 fairly well, especially if care is taken 

 to have all of the threads covered, L 

 have seen boilers made from 1-inch 

 pipe that had to be replaced within 

 two years, even when hard coal was 

 used. Some of the pipes were entirely 

 eaten through and others were but lit- 

 tle thicker than newspaper, where the 

 threads were exposed. If the fittings 

 are reamed out so that the threads 

 can be "made in," I do not see why 

 coil boilers will not last nearly as long 

 as tubular boilers.
