C. C. B. POCAHONTAS SMOKELESS 



Is the only American Coal that has been officially indorsed by the Governments of Great Britain, Germany 

 and Austria, and is the favorite fuel with the United States Navy, which has used it almost exclusively 

 for many years. Uneqaaled for the Generation of Steam and Domestic Purposes.

THE COAL MARKET. 



The Black Diamond says concerning 

 the eastern anthracite coal trade : ' ' The 

 cold wave that settled over the country 

 last week has given an impetus to the 

 anthracite trade that is threatening to 

 tax the capacity of the operations and 

 facilities of the transportation companies 

 to provide coal as fast as it is called for. 

 The increase in orders is not confined to 

 any particular section of the country, but 

 it comes from every place where anthra- 

 cite coal is used as domestic fuel. ' ' 



Concerning the bituminous coal trade, 

 the Black Diamond's reports show a 

 shortage of cars on nearly all of the 

 coal carrying roads, resulting in no little 

 trouble to shippers with contracts" to fill. 

 The question is asked : "If the roads 

 are unable to provide sufficient cars with 

 ideal weather conditions, what will the 

 situation be when severe weather sets 

 in?" The scarcity of labor is also caus- 

 ing many operators to work on short 

 time. 



CAPACITY OF BOILER. 



How many square feet of glass will 

 a cast-iron sectional boiler, with 1,275 

 square feet of radiation, heat to 50 de- 

 grees in zero weather? I am located in 

 Indiana. . F. C. A. 



It is customary to allow about one 

 square foot of radiating surface for each 

 four square feet of exposed glass, when 

 a temperature of 50 degrees is desired, 

 if the temperature does not drop more 

 than 10 degrees below zero. If your 

 boiler, therefore, will work fully up to 

 its rating, it would answer for about 

 5,000 square feet of glass. It is, how- 

 ever, customary to make a slight reduc- 

 tion from the rated capacity of the 

 boiler, as, although it might carry the 

 full radiating surface, it would not be 

 economical of fuel and would require 

 more attention. Some allowance should 

 also be made for exposed wall surface 

 other than glass, but in properly con- 

 structed houses the wooden or cement 

 walls need not be given more than one- 

 fifth the radiation required for glass

surface. On the other hand, the mild- 

 ness of the climate should be taken into 

 account. 



SIZE OF SMOKESTACK. 



I am going to build a chimney for 

 two hot water boilers. One is a Hitch- 

 jngs No. 19 and the other is a Carmody 

 No. 30. The smoke outlet to the chim- 

 ney is ten inches on one boiler and about 

 the same on the other. How large must 

 the chimney be, in.side measurement, and 

 how tall? Does it need a partition ill 

 it, as I only fire one boiler in mild 

 weather? T am located in northern 

 Kentucky. J. C. 



In order to liave the eliimney large 

 enough to supply both boilers, it will 

 be necessary to make the cross-sectional 

 area of the chimney equal to that of 

 the outlets of both boilers. If the out- 

 lets of the boilers are ten inches in 

 diameter the chimney should have a 

 diameter of about fifteen inches, although 

 a little less will answer if it is carried to

a height of fifty feet. Unless the smoke 

 stack is quite large in proportion to the 

 size of the boiler, it is seldom advisable 

 to have the height of a chimney, above 

 the point where the smoke pipe from the 

 boiler enters, less than thirty feet, and 

 even then this would not answer if there 

 are large trees or higher buildings tbnt
