The boat of tho qven for n full chargo of coal is put in ns soon as tho chargo of nowly mado coko has boon taken out sets lira to the coal on topTi, Tho draft and course of tho air arosoTegplatcd that tho coal burns from "out to'ln;'' nnd tho nmount of nir nocessnry to keep up n slow, smoldering combustion Is regulntcd by closing or opening airways in the door. In 48 hours tno coal is coked, and the door is broken open, and tho glowing coko In tho ovon Is drenched with water to cool it, so that It will not set flro to tho cars, for tho coko Is londed dlreatly; inlo tho freight cars standing on ther track's before tho bank of ovens. f :. " Enormoualqunntltlos" of water are used in cooling colfo. As l rcqulris about 600 gallons of water to cool ono chargo of coko, tho Connellsvillq district, whon all of tho ovehs ntJ 'lit ivorl:, uses up over 6,000,000 gallons of water a day,, enough to supply n town of 60,000 Inhabitants. Sometimes this water has to bo pumpod from n distance, for tho mino water is strongly impregnated with sulphur, nnd sulphur Is just what tho cokomnker .does not wnnt in his product. One largo cbko works In this district, In ordoif to .bo as sured of nn ndoqunto supply of pure wnter, pumpod it from n river 11 miles from tho ovens, using an 8, inoh pipo which had formerly boeu used for supplying a town with natural gas. Tho coal mined in tho lyonnousvllfo district is remarkably nur'o and Is all coked. Tho vein from whloh It is taken Is nlno feet thick, nntl tho coal is mlnod on the "room and pillar" system. Tho great loss of llfo caused by miners using naKou lamps, nnd so Igniting tho ox ploslvo 1;nsos which collect in tho work ings, ha; led many miners to adopt tho olectrio lnonntloseont light for tlio shaft bottom, pumproom nnd stables, nnd tho miners aro required to carry safoty lamps. As tho light is none too good, many min ors tako fenrfuJ risks by using naked j lamps. Tho (Jonnellsvlllo district has boon tho scono of nlany ncoldouts and grent loss of llfo. Ohloago Record.

' For to years Rheumatistrr-had tortured him. Arms andj lcgs nll out of shape; and for two years was fed with a spoon like a baby. To walk was simply nn impossibil ity. His flesh left 'him; his weight falling from 155 to .75 pounds. It was Rheumatism to be sure; but it was ImpuritySof the Blood all tlie same. A's a climax, Eczema appeared-, some of the impurities thus forcing tlveir way to the surface! For thishc tookDANA'S, knowing its refu tation as a blood purifier. The Rheumatism his physician assured him was incurable, what was j;he result?. Notonly did the .Eczetria leave him, but " I can no.w walk without tlie aid of crutches or, cane."
