expected. Those requirements are four in number and, if the bast possible results are aimed at, maat in every case be rigidly observed and satisfied. The first requira. ment to be considered is the state of the dust with respect to moisture. As might be expected thia has to be as low a percentage as possible, not exceeding 1 por ceat, otherwise the losses due to the formation of superheated steam produced from the exces moisture in the furnace reduco ite efficiency by a very appreciable amount. Fina mechanical pul- veriastion is the next condition to be observed and this as a rule is effectively met by most of the machines at present on the market, the average size of the cabe of coal passing through an the finished product being some where about 1/800 of an inch side. The third requirement is that the dust from the pulveriser must be convaved into a chamber or furnace where the temperature ia msint sined high enough to ensure its instantaneous deflagration, eaters such chamber or furnace The velocity with which the fuel should
