In all cases Professor Wormley found the coke to be firm and compact, 

 often presenting a metallic surface. 



In many of the foregoing analyses it will be seen the sulphur remain- 

 ing in the coke is not large enough to hinder the usefulness of the coke 

 in the blast furnace. A good 'coking coal is a great desideratum in 

 Southern Ohio. The supply is now chiefly brought from Connellsville, 

 in Western Pennsylvania. ^
