Jty Marcvi Hum..
From the experiments mentioned, p. 277,
~7H, it occurred to mr, that an important
improvement might be made in the common
process of making charcoal, hy filling the
Snteritice> bcfVrcen the sticks of wood with
the culm, or fine coal, led on the ground af
ter the large foul lias been riantwn froin the
nit; and by covering the wood more |>erfcct
iy than is usually done. In this way we may
more completely prevent the access of air,
which is not only destructive, in many eases,
to a large portion of the coal, but always
renders what remains less valuable.
That my remarks on the subject may not
he considered ns entirely theoretical, it is
nmper to state, that an intelligent collier in
New Jersey, applied, in a partial maimer,
the plan proposed. He found the product
to be about 1o per cent, more in quantity, Ay
measure, than he had ever before obtained
from the s.tme kind and quantity of wooth
and I also found the coal, when brought to
market, nearly 20 per cent, heavier thtui
usual. An an evidence that the coal had
l>ecn well charred, (a circumstance too of
ten neglected) the hydrogen appeared to
have been almost entirely expelled, as k"
lost very little in weight by exposing it to a
red hcatrin powdered charcoal. ~ '
The quality of thiaycoai was considcrctT
hy coihpctent judges to be superior to any
other ever offered Inrms market) it was as
clesnly to handle as anthracite coal, and fold
readily at an advanccdprice.
From an .examination, made during the
,la*t summer, of the common manner of
piling and covering wood which is (o be con
verted into charcoal, the practice of piling
k too,, and 'sometimes three tiers in height,
I appeared to be objectionable for two reasons
tne-ftrst was, that the second and third tiers
cannot be se well defended from the air as
?he first, which reels upon the ground; this
*bcing a better basiki against the air* than
kilie ordinary covering can be made to prc
1 sent; and the tecond that (hie disposition of
the wood i* not favourable for producing the
igdnion of the Wile maaa af one ana the
*n?e time; the ufaal practice being ekher
to conuocnce theipikion In (he centre of
the upper tier, or, to drop the fire into a
bole, orchlmney, left kt the tiefitrt of the
pile, which eateuda to the bottom, or the1
grounds leaving air hplcs elan, at the eidee,

and her friends and the public entertained a
hope that she would recede from her Inten

of her parents, nnd the embracea of society.
Rut these hopes have all vaniahed: about a

lier feelings of onr nature, to seek within
the solitary limits of a monastic, cell, tlwse
devotional Enjoyments which society denied

It is said, tliat though it waa her choice
to take an everlasting farewell of the world,
.yet she betrayed those feelings which reli
