SMOKELESS COALS. 



The writer's attention is attracted 

 to the inquiry of C, L. Walker, of Bel- 

 mont, N. Y., in The Eeview of August 

 8, and the reply thereto, and is 

 prompted to write you in reference. 



It is quite natural that Mr. Walker 

 would make the mistake of taking 

 Pocahontas coal to be the only smoke- 

 less coal, but we are a little surprised 

 that you would do so, and in justice to 

 the rest of your subscribers and adver- 

 tisers, we wish to call your attention 

 to the fact that Pocahontas is merely 

 a trade name, the same as New River, 

 and that as such the copyright had 

 been abrogated by the government and 

 other states some years ago on the 

 ground that the name, Pocahontas, was 

 a geographical term and could not be 

 exclusively copyrighted.

POCAHONTAS COAL. 



Referring to inquiry about Pocahon- 

 tas coal for greenhouse use, and the an- 

 swer to same, appearing on page 88 of 

 The Review of August 8, while I appre- 

 ciate that it is the desire of the editor 

 to be absolutely fair in answering an 

 inquiry of this nature, and present both 

 sides of the question, I must take excep- 

 tion to that portion of the reply which 

 is quoted as coming from a fuel expert. 

 Pocahontas coal does not "burn freely." 

 It is not what is known as a free burn- 

 ing coal, but is a coking coal, and 

 this is one of its best known and strong- 

 est points. When the florist desires a 

 low, steady fire, he simply permits his 

 coal bed to coke over and he gets this 

 result more perfectly with Pocahontas 

 than is possible with any of the free 

 burning coals. When he wants a strong 

 fire, he merely cracks up the surface 

 of his fire bed and opens up his drafts, 

 and more heat units per pound of coal 

 are released than are found in any other 

 coal yet discovered. As to the fine coal, 

 it is preferred to the lumps for steam 

 purposes, by experienced firemen, as 

 it enables the fireman to keep his 

 fire well leveled over the surface, mak- 

 ing a compact bed of coal which pro- 

 duces a more perfect combustion and 

 consumes the coal more perfectly, giv- 

 ing higher efficiency per pound, and less 

 waste, than is possible in the use of a 

 lumpy, free burning coal. Again, Poca- 

 hontas is practically smokeless, compar- 

 ing favorably in this respect with anth- 

 racite. And as to merit or economy for 

 florists ' use as compared with * ' the bet- 

 ter grades of bituminous coal, ' ' the sim-
