Some pretty tall figures are reported in the .West, and it is feared they will tower too high for safe invest- ment. The arguments used for the `run- ning up of prices are the old ones, name- 1y, 9. big shortage in the crop on this side, and the prospective scarcity "in England.

After the rst ignition, which may be effected by any, source of heat, the `combus- tion continues regularly andsintensely `under the action of the air current, which is regu~ lated in accordance with the quantity, of dust required to produce the necessary heat. The air or steam and dust are intimately mingled in the zone of combustion, while the speed of the current, which has served as a. vehicle for the dust, isemuch reduced. Each` particle of fuel held in suspension is by this method brought into such close contact with` the oxygen necessary for its combustion that the combustion is so complete as to allow. ofpractically no smoke being gener- ated. -Newcastle Ch ronicle. . : combn-ust9-rbuv.m9ut!;-znoIs- e 4Wherever there's smoke _there s fire : is an `adage based on observation of unvarymg physical laws; but the reverse does not always hold good, for there may be fire withouttpsmoke, orkat all events. without apparentssmoke.

In this system coal, reduced to powder in cen- trifugal disintegrators, is introduced into a pear-shaped combustion cham ber lined with rebrick, and tted with an induction ap- paratus like those used in petroleum-red furnaces, the coal being drawn along by a jet of steam or compressed air.
