BLACK SMOKE OF PITTsBURG.
The City Realizing More AcutcIy It's
DeieteriouS Action.
(Pittsburg Pa.) Dlspatch.)

|
If we regard the smoke as a necessary
accompaniment OF activity in iron and
steel production It is 10 be accepted even
with complacence. But when we arrive
at the stage Of perceiving how our manu-
features can be- maintained and even
stimulated by doing away with the
smoke, then 1t Is pertinent to note what
an immense injury to health and pro-
| perty that smoke is. In the infections
upon health the damage Is beyond cal
| culation. Bronchial troubles are agg-a-
| waited and rendered acute; eyesight Is
| overtaxed and brought TO failure; ner-
vous prostration is confirmed when
deprived OF the great panacea OF light
and pure air. 1t Is q blot upon our man
hood that housewives. struggling with
the effort to keep our homes clean, are
worn out by the addition OF SCOT and
dust that could be prevented. When We
add to this Injury TO health ard drain
upon strength the damage to buildings,
goods, clothing and works OF art it Is
easy to see that the bill which Pittsburg
pays every year for the privilege of
darkening the air is an immense one.
The stupidity Of it all is plain in the
fact that the cloud that shut out the
sunlight Thursday was a cloud of wasted
material. Every atom OF carbon I'm the
atmosphere represented an atom OF heat
and power thrown away. There are
three fully defined ways OF mitigating
or preventing the smoke That OF re-
curing smoke consumers or preventers
to be used on all steam-raising plants
is measure Of mitigation important by
Itself, but useless II not enforced. The
proposition to convert coal into cleo
trical power at the mouth OF the mines
and to transmit the power thence TO the
cities for light and heat is a measure
OF absolute abolition, the, success of
which must depend on the demonstration
OF its economy and the possibility of
using electric heat In the manufacture
Of iron and steel. Another method that
has passed beyond the stage Of expert
ment is the conversion OF coal into the
two smokeless fuels-gas and coke-in
such a way as to give both manufac-
turing and domestic consumers cheaper |
smokeless fuels than the present smoky
one. The use of this process is one Of |
the means by which Germany makes |
iron and steel cheaper than any OF her
competitors. while the suitability OF gas
and coke for domestic consumption has |
been amply demonstrated in this city.
1t is plain, therefore, that the abol- :
ton of smoke and the establishment Of |
great economy Ia fuel depend only on |
organized effort, first, TO determine what |
process are best TO serve the different |
purposes. and next to insure that the
fullest competition shall secure u the
people the utmost cheapness that Is pos
sible for both gas and coke. The Cham
Der OF Commerce, or any other business
or public organization could not do
greater service than by establishing an
expert investigation into AL processes
IL determine their practical value.
