EARLY MAN a SAVAGE.

~ Carbondalc professor asks Was
the early man "A savage?" That de-
pends. If the early man arose at Il.
IN. and ran to the station, In order to
catch the first train east. only to find
that he was too early by about four
hours, it may he safely said that he
was somewhat savage.

OIL ID TAKE PLACE OF OTHER FUEL IN MAKING OF STEEL Experiments Made by Tennes- see Company at EnSley
 Prove Successful FREIGHT RATES TOO HIGH If This Matter Can Be Adjusted satIs- factoriIy oil Will Be Used
 Instead of Coal
 or Gas.
FREIGHT RATES TOO HIGH

Experiments made by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company with Beaumont oil as heating fuel in the Ensley steel plant have beeen pronunced successful and,- according to statements made by Superintendent Mcconnell of the Ensley division of the company's s properties, oil will be used permanently at the steel plant if low freight rates can be obtained.
 In discussing the experiments and the possi.le results MT Mcconnell said
 We have found that as a medium for heating the furnaces this crude oil Is more satisfactory than either coal or gas It does the work quicker and is less trouble than the other fuel.
 Tn fast. our experiments have been so satisfactory that we have decided to use oil permanently if we can perfect arrangements with the railroad compan- ies whereby cheeper freight rates can be obtained. The cost of the oil Is small enough to warrant its use, but the pres ent freight rates will not allow it.
 ''We are forced to pay from 35 cents to 51 cents per hundred pounds now, ac- corL-ng to the infiammability of the oil and its grade This of course makes the net cost such that gas would be less ex- pensive. And expenses Is the issue upon which the matter will be decided.
 We are now in correspondence with freight agents of the railroads. How successful this correspondence will be I cannot attempt to say. l can only say that if a reasonable rate is given we will use the oil almost entirely in the steel plant"
 This statement of MT. Mcconnell, com ing as an official endorsement of the claims of the oil products in their as- sertoins regarding it's possibilities as fuel are very interesting and may tend to revolutionize the manufacture of steel. The result of the negotiations for cheap freight will be interestly watched.
