COAL DUST BRIQUETTES.
,1 Possibility of the future us a Source
of Fuel Supply.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
How many years must elapse before
we nre compelled to use briquettes of
coal dust and pitch ns fuel it is Impos
sible to predict, but it Is highly prob
able that in tho cast, ut least, this
practice will come Into vogue before
long. Over In England such briquettes
are already In common use, and one
enterprising manufacturer of ma
chinery has recently brought out nn
apparatus by which tho retail coal deal
ers may make up the dust of their yards
Into these cases at ithe rate of half a
ton an hour. The machine does not
occupy much room, requires llttlo
power and Is hugely automutic. The
coal dust and binding material, usually
pitch, are fed into a mixing nud meas
uring machine, which mixes them to
gether in the proper proportion. Then
the mass falla into a dislutegrntur,
where It Is ground up and mixed some
more. From this disintegrator a belt
conveyor lifts the pa.de Into a vertical
heater, where steam la used to luise
the temperature of the muss until It la
sticky. Then 11 is fed along to f-tiil an
other pulverizing and grinding appar
atus, which finally discharges It Into
molds. Here It Is subjected to a pressure
of about two tons to the square Inch,
which is sufficient to turn out u square
cake of fuel weighing anywhere from
throe-quurters of n pound to three
pounds, 11s may lie desired. TIip bri
quettes are usually sold to ismiill con
sumers by number rather thnn weight,
and on this account the builder of the
machine has taken particular care to
produce an apparatus which, Humph
small, will turn out a uniform product.
