PUMPING COAL TO MARKET.
The Scheme Embodies a Plan For Handling
Coal In the Form of Dust.

The Scheme Embodies a Plan For Handling
Coal In the Form of Dust.
A leading engineering journal makes
out good case for the scheme of pump
ing coal to market and favors the idea
that it will be adopted for practical
working. The system embodies the re-
duction Of all coal at the mines to the
form of impa1pab1e dust at cost of E
to cents per ton; the separation from
the coal by one of the present washing
processes of all free sulphur, pyrites
slate, ETC., at the cost of another cents
per ton; the mixture of the coal powder
with about it's own weight of water, thus
converting it into q sort of black milk
and the pumping of it in that state tc
any desired market, as oil now is pumped
When the mixture has arrived thus
far, it is deprived of most of its water il
great settling basins, but as much as s
to 10 per cent of the fluid is left in the
mixture, which in that state is pumped
short distances only to points of con
sumption, where the remainder of tn.
water may be dried out by the otherwise
waste heat. The capacity per day of q
hours of "A inch pipe, with a meaI
speed of five miles per hour, is about 81,
600 long tons, taking the coal conveyed
at 351 pounds per cubic foot of mixture
At 1 200 pounds pressure for pumping
stations 80 miles apart a 4inch pipe would
carry 800 tons daily; an 8 inch pipe, /, 1924
12 inch pipe, 5,120. The total coal CON
sumption of New York city averages
considerably under 25, 900 tons per day
the New England states burn about 81
per cent more than this; the whole Unit
ed States, nearly 90 times as much, il
round figures, SO that comparatively few
pipes would suffice to handle the whole
coal supply of the country. The evapo
ration of the water from the coal dust
presents no serious difficulty.
This system opens up again the quest
ton of the comparative value of coal
dust for fuel. While in many cases coal
dust is commercially valueless, in others
it cannot be replaced by any other form
of coal for real services-for instance, in
the manufacture of fuel or other gas, the
making of stiff coke, the mixing with
iron ore dust before coking, to the great
improvements of the product both in guam.

millions of dollars have already been
added to the wealth of the country by
the leadings of science there. Professor
Walcott also began his work for the
United States in southern Utah in 1879,
and there could scarcely be a better

Indebtedness to MOrmons.
John d. Lee, whose retreat was then
in the deep canyon at the mouth of
Pahreah creek, seemed to know the
whole gamut of Indian nature by a sort
of instinct, spoke the tongues of all the
tribes in that vicinity and was a man
of great influence among them. Next
to him in familiarity with Indian af-
fairs was Jacob Hamlin, Mormon elder
of Kanab, at whose house met Pro
fessor Thompson and lady and some of
their employees in 1872. Major Powell
acknowledged his great Indebtedness to
these two pioneer Mormons, and his en-
thusiasm in the study of Indian affairs
was catching. He had already laid out
an extensive outline of studies to be
made of the movements of Indian tribes
and was one of the first to show how
rapidly the general characteristics of
tribes are changed by their long extend
ed movements and change of climate
and habits. OF the Utes, Navajoes and
those branches of the Pueblos which are
located in northern Arizona he had al
ready made study and formed very
clear and consistent theory of their de-
velopment and the causes of their differ
ences from other Indians.

1t was a display of these fossils at the
Smithsonian which so excited the horror
of Spotted Tail, the Indian chief, when
he was here a few years ago, that he
made an offer of so ponies to have them
all returned. He declared that the In
dians of Dakota would never again have
good fortune, for the Great Spirit had
told them not to allow those fossils to
be disturbed.
Work Now In Progress.
Professor Walcott, having just taken
charge of the Office, has but little time
to chat, but all his assistants are enthu-
siastic in their work and ready to ex-
plain This is, of course, a bureau of the
interior department., and there are two
grand divisions of it, one of which deals
only with the surface and the other with
what is below it. The subdivisions are
the departments of paleontology, chem
istry, library, engraving mining, statis-
tics, illustrations and editorial The
bureau has been a matter of growth rath-
er than of creation by single law, so
that its age can hardly be determined,
but its fifteenth annual report is now in
type and will be ready for the public by
the close OF the current fiscal year. The
most practical work now in progress is
the preparation of maps in the topo-
graphical department, and, by the way,
the maps now published for use in the
schools of New York were made up from
the recent charts of this division After
looking over the minute charts repre-
senting the survey by townships in the
valley of the Hudson am compelled to
conclude that if the scale there set is to
be followed all over the United States
it will be work of 40 years or more un-
less the force be very greatly increased
Connected with the topographic is the
art division in which the largest pho
tographs now made are produced All
this, be it understood, has nothing to do
with geology proper, but the maps, or
rather charts, show by fine lines the ele-
vation of every mile wide of the surface
and are in great demand by the design

south with the storm and crossed the
graded road, expecting to find wire

house on it. His tracks show that he
missed the end of the fence by only few
feet, which in such storm was as good
as a mile, as no living being could be ex-

tees. however, hope that if Mr. Harri-
son does not find the duties of the posi-
ton too Onerous his love for the univer-
isity may induce him to retain 1t per
manently, and in this hope the trustees
are heartily seconded by the faculty, the
alumni, the students and by all Phila-
delphians interested in the welfare OF
the university.
Mr. Harrison has been one of the uni
versity trustees for long time and has
been chairman of the ways and means
committee of the board since 1886. He
was formerly the senior member of the
sugar refining firm of Harrison, Frazier
s. Co. and since his retirement from
active business several years ago has de-
voted most of his time to advancing the
interests of the university. He has been
a liberal benefactor of the institution,
and recently he and his two brothers en-
dowed the John Harrison laboratory Of
chemistry in honor of their grandfather,
who was one of the pioneer chemists on
Philadelphia.
Born in Philadelphia May 8, 1914, Mr..
Harrison received his early education
at the Episcopal academy. He entered
the university in 1858 and was class
mate of DR.. Pepper. the retired provost,
of whom he has ever since been close
friend and adviser. They graduated in
1862, Mr.. Harrison being the honor
man of the class and receiving the Henry
Reed prize. Whether he retains the pro-
Fostship or not, Mr.. Harrison has an
nounced his desire to devote the re-
tnainder of his life to the service of his
t,1ma mater.

Gaused by the fact that the duties Of

WASHINGTON, June z. - Professor
Charles d. Walcott, the new director of
the United States geological survey,
came originally from Utica N Y, and
is a tall and scholarly looking blond,
with evidences in his general aspect of
plenty of open air life in his younger
days. He was appointed on the national
survey July 1, 1879, as assistant geolo-
gist and has risen by hard work to the
place of chief. l found him in the some
what ora1nped quarters of the survey
near the Ebbitt House on F street, and
all around him were varied and curious
proofs that this was the resort of rock
sharps. - There are specimens of all
the stones and minerals in almost ev
cry section of the country; there are
numerous maps showing the surface of
the earth and rocks and the supposed
waters under the earth; there are sci
entific instruments of many kinds and
books calculated to make the unlearned
mans head ache, while the walls are
almost covered with drawings of those
big boned monsters which inhabited this
earth when it was as hot from pole to
pole as central Africa now is and leath-
