Fire Ball
A fire ball to save coals. - With a ton of soft, mellow clay, free from stones, work up three or four bushels of small sifted sea coal; make this composition into cakes about three or four inches square, and let them be thoroughly dried. When the fire burns clear, place three or four of them in front of it, and they will soon become red, glowing with a clear and strong heat till they are consumed. A ton may be made for 10s. and will go father (sic) than a chaldron and a half of coals. |
