Bi7cu1yous CoAI-With reference 70 the spon-
taaeous combustion of bituninors coal, which has
been considerably discussed OF late in connection
with the loss of the President Mr.. J. G. Fell, 4
civil engineer at Hazleten, Pa. has addressed to
a gentleman in Philadelphia statement Of fact
which once came under his owa observation. Dur
ing his stay at ST Jsgo de Cuba in 1910, large
heap, some 800 IONS of Welch coal, was disco
vered 10 be on FIRE. The pile was some fifteen feet
high and there was not the slightest doubt that ii
ignited by spontaneous combustion The city au-
thorties Immediately ordered it to be removed
From the heat ofthe climate this occurrence would
be more liable to take place there than here; but
in the hold Of steamship surrounded too BY heated
metal there would be nothing marvellous in such
an event.
