The coal market continues easy, but 

 from the principal cities comes the word 

 that cars on tracks are not so burden- 

 some as they were a few weeks ago and 

 that prices are, as a consequence, a little 

 firmer. The coal trade is one of which 

 "you never can tell" may well be said; 

 the opposite of what is generally ex- 

 pected frequently happens. Last autumn 

 there was every indication of an ap- 

 proaching fuel famine, but except for a 

 sharp flurry at the time fires were 

 started there has been exactly the re- 

 verse of the conditions that were antici- 

 pated. Look out for the year when it 

 looks like an easy winter market; that 

 will be the year everybody will get 

 pinched. 



A PENNSYLVANIA KANOE. 



I have recently come into possession 

 of a greenhouse or houses, 75x120 feet, 

 with five ridges or gables. It is heated 

 by steam, with one sixty horse-power 

 boiler and one twenty-five horse-power 

 boiler. The twenty-five horse-power 

 one will heat the house except on a few 

 of the coldest nights, when the ther- 

 mometer is 20 or '6) degrees below 

 zero. Now I am asking for advice on 

 the heating of this bouse. It now has 

 for piping one 2*^-'n*'h bead or feed 

 pipe running the vidth ot the house, 

 and 2-inch" flows rjnnin;^ the length 

 of the house in each ridg'' and then re- 

 duced to 1-inch coils and a 2-inch re- 

 turn to the boiler. In several places 

 in the coils the piping is reduced to 

 %-inch, I suppose to save the cost in 

 throttles or shut -off s. The system does 

 ifOt heat satisfactorily. The larger 

 boiler takes too touch fuel to run it 

 and I am thinking of throwing put the 

 whole system and putting in low pres- 

 sure steam or hot water.

 Creek Minerun (Bituminous) coals are particularly 

 suitable for heating Greenhouses. Abrams Creek coal 

 is about as near smokeless as a Bituminous coal 

 can be.
