SMALL COAL.
The system of utilisation of small coal which has been so long known in France is about to be introduced into the Durham coal trade on a large scale. At one of the large collieries of the Marquis of Londonderry, briquette machines are being erected by a Leedß firm for the manufacture of briquettes, or compressed fuel of small coal. _ It is stated that, at a coat for preparing, mixing, and making of about Is per ton, an excellent fuel can be made from the waste or small coal. In France the use of briquettes so made is on a large scale—one company alone producing 300,000 tons yearly ; but the system has not, up to the present, been largely adopted in England. It is probable, however, that if the attempt now being made at the Londonderry collieries prove successful, it will soon be followed extensively in the north.
