work the engine, and had therefore been laid by.
Theft coals anfwered extremely well ; and, as it was
a fiower.burning coal, I found the confumption,
schihi they jailed, was between two and three bulhels
kis in every Cut hours, which is about the time the
engine works ach day and I an, fatisfied, if the
perfon, who attends the engine, would take thc pro-

and produces already a very good effert, I am in
hopes it may be Ilia further improved.
