SIR : In compliance with your instruc tions. made in conformity to the orders of the Navy Department in . June last, to test the comparative value of Anthracite and Bt. luminous Coals for the purpos'e of generating steam, I hive the htmor to repol: That on the completion of t he pumping engine of the dry dock of the New York Na vy Yard, I caused experiments to be 'made with Bituminous (Cumberland) and Anthra cite (white ash) Coals ; and also on the com pletion of the United States steamer " Ful= ton." in January last, I made a series of ex periments with the same varieties of coals ; the condensed results of all which are here in given. In addition, I would also state, that the United Stales steamer “Fulion" has been on constant duty several days since the experiments were made, burning constantly White Ash Anthracite. From a letter limn her chid engineer. H. Hunt, Esq., detailing her perforniance for the first four days, I extract the following:. •The engine worked as well as any I ever saw. but the boilers exceeded my calculations ; with clean fires very easily keeping forty pounds, cutting off at halt stroke without blowers. I will here predict that she (the " Fulton"twill—do more service at km ex pense, than any steamer government will have in fivk years. Whilst she was out on the first fair days I was in her, we were frequently shut odor cutting off to run slow, and turning around, running from one ves sel to another, so no calculattons could be made of her speed or slivof wheel. The furnace doors were open full half Me time, to keep steam dcarn, so much more fuel was used than necessary, but the nature of our service was such,'that it could not be avoi• &J." In consequence of the ill health of the chief engineer, he was not able to , retuna in her second trip; the results of her consump tion of coal on that occasion, are, therefore, extracted from a letter written by the assis tant engineer, S. McElroy, showing the fol low,ing : "Running time with White 'Ash Anthracite, January 25 to 28, seventy-one hours. Total coal used, 69.480 ,pounds, average 992 6-10 pounds per hour. The above extracts are, made, not because they are the most favorable which occur in the log, but as they show the action of the en gine and boilers for several consecutive hours. Nothing can be smoother than the motion of :he engine under ordinary running circum stances; and in relation to the generative power of the boilers, it is more difficult to keep steam down than up. It is unnecessary to use the blowers for, ordinary work, as the natural draught proves abundantly sufficient for twenty to twenty five pounds of steam, with sixteen to eigh ieeh turns: although they are undoubtedly of great value in cases of emergency, and necessary to the prompt and proper manage ment of the fire room, with Anthracite Coal. The ‘. Fulton" will have no difficulty what ever in making twelve knots in ordinary sea weather as long as the bunkers hold out. A more extended series of experiments would undoutedly be more favorable to the Anthracite, owing to the fact that small quantities were put in the furnaces and ‘l,- , most entirely consumed while the engine was working it beiog well known that a small body of Bituminous coal will burn longer than the same amount of Anthracite spread thinly over the grates. The cost of the two kinds of coals used in the experiments were as follows, ,at the N. York Navy Yard: Anthracite S 3 90 pei ion, Bituminous 85 65 per too. I have made oo comparison of the relative costs of the twa kinds of coal, as it may va ry according to different localities and periods of delivery, and cannot therefore be consider ed a fixed element: but have confined the re sults entirely to their generating powers de duced from the following experiments : 1. Erperitnents with Bituminous coal, made with the boilers of the United States steamer Fulton, at the Sew York Nary Yard, ;law or!). 1352. - The tem ure of the water in the boil. ers being t 33d .F. and the temperature of the boiler Videe,„ the fires were lighted at ten ho is thirty minutes, A. ,M. At eleven hou forty minutes, A, M., the temperature of t e water was 212 deg. F., and steam began to be generated it the at runspheric pressure. Time raising steam, seventy minutes. The temperature of the boiler-room had" now increased from 18deg. to 32aeg. F. - At eleven hours fifty-four minutes A. M. the steam pressure in the boilers was thirty pounds per square inch above the atmosphere. Time of obtaining thirty pounds of steam, one hour twenty-four minutes from a temperature of 32d%i. F.— Up to this time there had been fed into the furnaces one thousand pounds of dry pine wood, equal to live hundred pounds of, coal, and tufo thousand eiglit hundred and twenty six pounds of (Cumberland) bituminous coal. Total, three thousand three hundred and twenty-six pounds. The engine was now set in operation to work off all the steam, which the above amount of coal would generate, no more be ing fed to the furnaces. In fifiy-three.:•mm utes the steam pressure was reduced', from pounds to five pounds, and the number of double strokes of piston made from forty one to seven, when the engine was stopped. 'During the time the engine was in operation the steam was cut off at half stroke. The engine consisted of one cylinder, fifty inches diameter, and ten feet tour inches stroke. - The space between cut off valve and piston, including clearance, to be titled with steam per stroke is 3.094 cubic feet. The calculation of the amount of water evaporat ed is made from the quantities Of steam mea sured out by the cylinder, divided by the re lative bulks of steam of the experunesital pressures and the' water from which it is generated. The initial pressure of the Stalin m the .ctliuder - ii taken at one pound ten than in the boilers.

At seven hours and twenty min utes A. M. the temperature of the Willa it) the boilers being 38d g. F., and that of the boiler room 311eg.F.. with the natural draft, the temperature of the water at eight hours and five minutes was 212 deg. (steam) and the boiler room 43deg, F. Time to generate steam forty-five minutes. At eight horns and twenty minutes the steam pressure in the boiler was thirty , pounds per square inch.— Time of obtaining t it ty pounds of steam from water at 38deg. F. was one bout, With the bituminous coal it will be seen that it required seventy minutes to obtain steam from water at the temperatuie of 32 deg, F., whiten only required forty-five mut t:tea with the anthracite; being a ditfeninee of time in this respect of about thirty-aix per cent. of the bituminous time. - The dais for a comparison of the evapora tive Values of the colds was obtained by so other experiment as follows: . . Espenments with White Ash,Ani ',ratite spode with the hosiers ofihe United States Steamer Fulton, in New York Bay, January 1,1852: Thikexperiment was made with thesteam er under way, while steaming With steady pressure of steam- and revolutions of the wheel, as follows: Steam pressure (initial) in cylinder per square inch above the atmosphere. twenty five pounds : double strokes of piston per minute, twenty-one and ode-third; cutting off at from commencement of stroke, three eighths ; consumption of coal• per hour, eighteen hundred • pounds. From the above ,data, there was filled per stroke 52.837 Cubic feet of the space displace ment of the piston, to which add 3.094 cubic feet of space comprised between cut off valve and piston; making a total bf 55.931 cubic feet of steam of twenty-five pounds presiure, 'which would be per Minute 55:931X421= 2386.39 cubic left, and per hour 143,183.40 cubic feet. Dividing this last dumber by the relative bulks of steam of the pressure gen erated,and the water from which it was gen erated, we 0btamea143183.40.684=209.332 cubic feet of sea water, which at 64.3 pounds per cubic foot, amounts to 13,4E10.047 pounds, evaporated by 1800 pounds of coal, or 7.478 pounds of Sea-water per pound of coal. 3. Experiment with tehde ash anthracite -coal made with the boilers of the pumping engine at the United States Dry Dock, New York Nary Yard. A comparativeexperiment was madvvirtiL the boilers of the pumping engine at the New York Navy .Yard; m October. 1851, on the com pa ra ti ve' ad van tages of an t h rac ite aud bituminous coals ; all the conditions were as nearly alike as practicable. With the an thracite coal a combustion of nine hundred and eighty pounds per hour, evaporated a sufficient quantity of water to supply the en gine with steam of twelve pounds pressure above the atmosphere, per square inch, for tour hundred and twenty-tive double strokes of piston per Lour. the steam pressures being alike in both cases ; the economical values -of the-coals-will be represented bribe num ber ofdouttle strokes of piston made, divided by the quantity of luel per given unit of time; 425 or will be, anthracite --=0.4337: bitutni -294 9SO nous -0.2613, or the anthracite to bet- 1100 ter than the bituminous in the proportion of 0.4337 --=1.6.3 to 1.000 0.2673 It is. proper to remark that these boilers wereexpressly designed for.buroing haulm foul cool. COMPARISON The coals used in these experiments were the kinds furnished by the the of the government-for the use of the United States Navy-Yard and Steamers. and were taken indiscriminately troth the piles in the yard without snorting. The bituminous was from the "Cumber land " mines. The anthracite was the kind known as " White Ash Schurlkill." From the preceding data. it • appears that in regard to the rapidity of " g etting up" steam, the anthracite exceeds thehitutuinous thirty-six per cent. That in economical evaporation per,, unit of fuel, the anthracite exceeds the bituminous in the proportion of 7.478 to 4.433 or 66.8 per cent. • , It will also be perceived, that the result of the third experiment on the boilers of the pumping engine at the New York Dry Dock, which experiment was entirely differently made and calculated from the first and 'second experiments, gave an economical superiority to the anthracite over the bituminous of 62.3 percent. remarkably close approximation to the result Obtained by the experiments on the" Fulton's" boilers, (66.8 per cent:,) par ticularly when it isolated that the boilers and grates of the pumping engine were made with a view to burning bituminous coal, which has been used since their completion while those of the " Fulton " were construc ted for the use of anthracite. The general, characters of the boilers were ,similar, both' having return drop flues. • Thus it will be seen, from the eiperiments, that, without allowing for Chit difference of weight of coal that can be, stowed in the same bulk, the engine using anthracite could steam about two-thirds longer than with bi tuminoits. There are important considerations in favor ofanlloacitt coat for the uses of thONavy without taking into account the additional amount of anthracite more than bitutnhions that can be placed on board a vessel in the same bunters. or the advantages of being free from wade, which in a worseeramer may at times , be of the utmost importance in con cealing the movements d the vessel, and al= so the almost, if not altogether, entire free dom from spootaneous imagination. The results of the armaments made. last spring co the United States limner u Viz en " were so favorable, that I recommended to the Bureau of Construction. &e, the use of anthracite for ail naval steamers it that time having, or to be thereafter hued with iron Erika particul arly the steuneatu Ful ton," u Priaeetoo, and 4* AlleghitafVlbe boilers fox all of whirl' were designed . with a speciel view to the use of anthracite, and with the apprcival of that bureau.

Sot : The Senate," by resolution, havieg, called, for my reports to the Navy Depart. moat, giving the results of several experi ments to test the relative , value of anthracite and bituminous coals for generating steam,: and referrk.d theWarne to the Committee oil Naval Affairs, I have thought that the re sults obtained from additional 'tests 'and ex periments. made in this country and Eng land, would be of service to the Committee, and trust that the importance Of the subject, both to the interests of the government and of individuals, will be considered a sufficient apology, if any be needed, for the liberty I have taken in addressing you this communi cation. - It should be remembered that what is, re quired to be known on this - subject. is neith er the absolute nor relative evaporationby. coals under conditions that never occur in practice, (as too many experiments are con ducted.) but the facts tO be determined are, the results which can be obtained from them under the ordinary circumstances in which they are used in marine boilers. With this view I have prepared the fol lowing tabular statement, showitr , b the ac tual evaporation of water effected by bitu minous and anthracite coals an the boilers of several naval steamers, and in those of some transatlantic and river steamers plying to and from New York the past-lew years.

In:the experiments made on coals by Play fair and De la Beebe, by order of the British government, in 1848, 1 find eleven varieties of Welsh coals having a constitution almost identical with the nine specimens of various Pennsylvania Anthracite, experimented on by Johnson, viz: Welth anthre- Pennsylvania eite anthracite.

In the experiments of Playfair and De la Becht, above cited, I find three varieties of Welsh Bituminous, three varieties of Scotch Bituminous, and one 'variety of English Bi tuminous, having a constitution almost iden tical with the five specimens of Maryland (Cumberland) Bituminous coal expel imented on by Johnson. - Weleb,Seoteh, Matsland(eufn ' end Engheti, heiland) bun bituminitnri Fixed Cerboa, 75.00 75.45 Sulphur, . 1.47 Other ecdatile matter, . 14.55 15.45 Earthy minter, 8.97. 9 4I The average 'evaporation by the Welsh, Stott-hand English Bituminous and by the Cumberland Bitumnicuts was-as follows, viz Frerh water evaporated from a temperature a 212 deg.

S. Navy, published in " Appleton's Mechanics' Magazine," etc., for October, ISSI, page 621,' viz:— " In the combustion of bituminous coal, time is the 'important element, and a slow rate of combustion with low velocity of draught is necessary for obtaining high eva porative results, and for the following rea sons, viz: The bituminous portion of the coal ,is volatilized and separated from the fixed carbon' part at a lower temperature than'is required for its ignition. that if:, than is required for its chemical union with oxy gen., In this gaseous state, occupying the furnaces and flues of the boiler, it can only be ignited by being mixed with atmosphere• air at a sufficiently high temparature: element of time, is, therefore, doubly impor tant ; first;to allow the gases to become in tiniately mixed with the, atmospheric second, to allow them to acquire the ueces ry high temperature. ,Lt now. by inea.ns , of a poiverful draught. the gases, having only the low-temperature due to their volatiliza tion, be driven so quickly through thee flues and Out of the chimney - of the boiler as nut to allow them time enough to acquire the proper temperature for combustion, at d to have the proper mixing with the atmospber ic air, a great, loss of effect must inevitably follow. • " For the economical combustion, then. , A bituminous coal in generating steam, there should be a slow rate of burning, or. a small -amount consumed per unit of time per unit g-, of surface." " In the combustion of anthracite coal, however, the above general observations do net apply. Considering the principle por tfolio of the anthracite to be fixed carbon, tkere will of Course be no volatili7ation of bitumen at a lower temperature than what is requited for the ignition of the fixed car- Ion: the coal will consequently remain un changed until the temperature is sufficiently higl for its combustion, that is, for the corn= bust on of its fixed carbim : a forced draught cannot; therefore, carry off the fuel before it is ignited ; and in this view velocity of draugh t io conaparatively unimportant. Again, com bustion with the anthracite i is effected solely by the contact of the air with their solid sur faces there is therefore no mixing to be done, and consequently no time required to do it an. Here; then, under two important conditions, great velocity of draught, which is highly detrimental to the economical com bustion of bituminous, is unimportant in the combustion of 'anthracite coal." EMI Taking the above views to be correct, which it is believed they are, it , will be per ceived that the very slow rate of combustion used with the bituminous coal in Johnson's experiments, (a rate utterly out of question with marine boilers) was in the . highest de gree fircorable for Ple - development of the full rag power of tit bituminous coal ; now as this rate of combustion, is impracticable in marine engines, a. very great correction for inferior results to be obtained by the fast er rate of combustion must be made, in or der to obtairt,their practical cahte. With the anthracite, the very slow rate of combustion us 4 was positively a disadmeelage, as it could not keep the while mass sufficiently high to enable the flied carbon to take up the oxygen of the air's, fast as the latter entered ; con sequently it exerted. in a considerable degree, • COoliag power. Further, it is generally acknowledged t it the quantity of cori.on'in coats is at least an index, if not a full measure of their practical heating power. This idea is entertained by Johnson Liaise% and is-announced in his _work oncoals, istbitahed in 1850, pages 7 18, 123; and 124, viz: . . -',The British' ar4erimeaters continued their analysis of the coals till every sample had been submitted to both pdimmate an , ultimate - detail:titration.

Both the American and British _expel-I li:tents concur in proving the reverse of this to° be the fact." - "This development finally sets aside the old calOidattons about the relative heating pow ers Of 8104072 and of the hydrogen in coals. By the principle 'of that calculation, any coal' havingl a high degree of. bituminousness ought, in consequence , of the large propor tion of 'hydrogen in its bitumen, to possess a , much higher heating power than- any coal of lower bituminousness. - The reverse of this is true. The higher the biltanmousness, or, in other words, the greater the PigPtrasent of volatile matter a coal contains, the' less is Its avadahte heating power. The tact Os been pointed out in former publications Got the Writer, that when solid hydrogen {that being its state in coals) , is converted by the effect of heat into gaseous hydrogen, it re quires tnr this change a large amount of heat, as experimentally proved in the man ufacture of illuminating gas. The-hydro gen thus brought to the gaseous state, as sumes the same bulk at a given temperature., say 212!', as it Nei!, retain at the same tem peratur when converted into vapor of water under t h e atmospheric pressure; and conse quentlylr unless we can suppose the capacity firs heat of gastons hydrogen, bulk for bulk. to be greater than that of the vapor , ot wa ter, we ran conceive-no reason why it should give out more heat in combining with oxy gen than ti-hatl taken up in being converted nto7gas. 'The British Commissioners relit: to this view of the subject, but donobctear- , ty express au opinion of its validity.-. " Foioniately their silence is of less im portance, as their own experiments furnish afitindant proofs of the correctness ot the principle. In order more clearly to exhibit the independence .pf hydrogen efficiency in computing heating powers of analyses, we have plated in the above table the percent age of hydrogen found in each sample of • coals. 'Prom this column the averages are deduced, and a glance will show, that so far as any law or relation is perceptible, the reali of hit; he.st &atm; powers are those which hare t/ /owes: per ventage of hydrogen."— • The table above referred to condensed from .
