A curious and interesting calculation has
been made by Professor Rogers of Wash.
ington on the dynamic power of coal.
According to his deductions, a pound Of
good steam coal has within it dynamic
power equivalent to the work of one man
for period Of lohours. Three tons Of sim.
liar coal represent a mans labor for period
Of several years. One square mile Of seam
Of coal having a depth OF only 4 feet repre-
sents power equal to that expended by
Loo, 900 men 10 hours each day for 90 years
Such calculations as these made by Mr.
Rogers may serve to remind us how very
wastaful our methods of burning fueis
must DO, In spite Of ell that has been done

economists Press.
