tution for smokeless. Any coal which 

 will analyze reasonably low in volatile 

 matter has in recent weeks been classed 

 as smokeless coal and sold as such. Tak- 

 ing the whole volume of sales in Chi- 

 cago and immediate vicinity, smokeless 

 coal has ceased within the last few 

 weeks to mean either Pocahontas or 

 New Eiver, but it has come to include 

 about everything that will run from 

 twenty-eight to thirty per cent of 

 volatile matter or less. The prices, 

 therefore, which are -quoted on smoke- 

 less coal in Chicago on the street do 

 not represent prices accepted for Poca- 

 hontas and New Eiver. For example, 

 we hear that 90 cents and $1 a ton are 

 common prices for smokeless coal on 

 track. With one or two exceptions, 

 Pocahontas or New Biver coal has not 

 been sold at any such price. The low 

 figures are mostly named by producers 

 of so-called low volatile coal. The ex- 

 tent to which such trading has gone 

 robs the quoted market price of a good 

 deal of its importance or significance. 

 So far these sales of off-grade coal have 

 not influenced the price named by stan- 

 dard producers." 



A NORTH CABOUNA RANOE. 



We are enclosing a diagram of some 

 greenhouses that we propose to build. 

 The houses will run east and west, with 

 the boiler house at the east end of the 

 south greenhouse. House No. 1, the 

 south house, will be 21x80, and three- 

 quarter-span. The south wall, six and 

 one-half feet high, will be solid to a 

 height of two and one-half feet; above 

 that will be four feet of glass. The 

 north wall will be seven and one-half 

 feet high and will contain thirty inches 

 of glass. The height from floor to ridge 

 will be twelve feet. There will be a 

 wnlk along each side and there will be 

 two side benches, five feet wide; the 

 rest of the space will be used for solid 

 beds. House No. 2, on the north side 

 of No. 1, will be 10x50 and will be even- 

 span; the wes.t end of the two houses 

 will be in a straight line. The north 

 wall of house No. 2 will contain 

 eighteen inches of glass. In this house 

 there will be one bench, seven feet wide, 

 in the middle of the house. 



House No. 1 will thus be thirty feet 

 longer than No. 2, but extending east- 

 ward from No. 2 will be a lean-to, 7x30, 

 so that the entire north side of house 

 No. 1 will be protected. The lean-to. 



which may be referred to as house No. 

 3, will contain one bench, along the 

 north wall; this wall will be four feet 

 high, including eighteen inches of glass. 

 The floor of the boiler house will be 

 seven feet lower than the floor of the 

 greenhouses. We shall heat with hot 

 water. The flow pipes will rise to the 

 highest point directly above the boiler 

 and then slope gradually to the far cad 

 of the houses, there to drop and return 

 through coils. We wish a temperature 

 of 52 degrees in house No. 1 and 40 to 

 45 degrees in No. 2. No. 3, the lean-to, 



will be a propagating house. There will 

 be only one door in each house, in the 

 east end. What piping should be in- 

 stalled to maintain the temperatures 

 mentioned? How many runs of 2-inch 

 pipe will be required for the coils f It 

 is unusual in this part of North Carolina 

 for the outside temperature to drop as 

 low as 4 degrees above zero. 



What size of boiler, or what rating, 

 would be required to heat these houses 

 and, in addition, a three-quarter-span 

 house 21^x45, with a solid north wall 

 seven and one-half feet high and a 5^^-
