doned. Shortly afterward q largo
manufacturer Of pitch in Philadelphia
decided to utilize the full virtue of his
manufacture and the aniline dyes,
and even drugs and synthetic oils OF
delicate perfume, are now being pro-
duced. In Chicago, with its enormous
coal, gas and tar industries, there is
but one firm that carries this industry
beyond the making of pitch for pave
ments. This firm draws out the creo-
sote and sells it to lumber dealers.
The other by-products are distilled
over in the rough and shipped of to
Philadelphia, where renewed process
of distillation mentioned above is I'M
dertaken. There are also some other dis
tillers in the eastern cities, and few
large factories, but the great major
ity Of these make only certain prod
ucts, particularly creosote and car
bolic acid, shipping away the residue
to the next factory, which extracts an
other compound or set of compounds.
Now consider comparative figures
for the coal industry in the United
States and in Europe. At present the
output annually in the United States
is about 160,0O0,000 tons of coal per
annum as against about 175,000,000 for
the British empire, all British possess
sions included, and less than half this
amount for Germany. The coal area
of Great Britain is 1889 square miles,
quite respectable surface compared
with the 1000 square miles each of
Prussia and of France. Recent sur
veys IN Russia have shown that it far
surpasses its neighbors, having coal
area of 10000 to 10000 square miles.
But even Russia is poor compared with
the 214,225 square miles of rich coal
land in our country.
And every square mile of this coal
area full of vanilla perfume, aniline
dyes and antiphyrine! Think of the
number of ice cream sodas that could
be favored, the millions of yards of
flannel to be colored and the billions
of headaches to be relieved with the
coal tar riches contained therein!
Perhaps brief statement of the
process of manufacture may be per-
mitted. In the first place the coal is
placed in huge air-tight containers and
subjected to comparatively moderate
heat. AS the air cannot get at it, the
coal will not burn, but will give of
gas, each ton the 10000 feet mem

toned above, and while the coke re-
mains there will drop out of it large
amount of semi-solid smeary liquid
the coal tar. This ill-smelling stuff
soon separates into two layers, the
lighter oils remaining on top. Now,
ordinarily, these lighter oils are sim.
ply passed off, perhaps the creosote
is extracted from this and the heavier
liquid is used as pitch. But when all
the virtues of both the light and the
heavy oils are to be utilized a much
more careful process is followed. The
oils are first separated as far as pos
sible by being drawn off, and then
each part is heated very gradually to
a higher and higher temperature;
thermometer which is held in the
steam showing the exact temperature
at every moment. Thus the SUBJ
stances that are most volatile, that is
those that change from liquid to gas.
eous at lowest temperature, first be-
come gaseous. They pass over through
pipes into the coolers, which are gen.
orally at some distance from the build
ing in which the heating process is
carried on. AS soon as the gases reach
cool lpace they of course change
back to liquid form. BY this accurate
but simple method the first light oils,
mostly water with ammonia, known as
ammoniacal liquor, are distilled over
at 100 degrees Celsius, or 2O2 degrees
Fahrenheit. Then the temperature il
raised and the next set of gaseous,
the so-called second light oils, are OBJ
tanned. Third comes the creosote,
fourth the green oil; and then, at 425
degrees Celsius, that is 500 degrees
Fahrenheit, the black oils change from
LIQUID to gas and pass over into their
condenser, leaving only the pure pitch.
Each separate set of oils is then sub
jected to many different chemical re-
agents, and it is principally by wash
ing out with ammonia and acids that
the last distilled products, the black
oils go through so many changes ant
brings out the mysterious virtues in
perfume, color and saccharine.

in your furnace or kitchen stove, and
all you probably think Of at the time
IL that the $3.50 or 81 you paid for the
coal is gone. But if the expense OF
getting the products had not been too
great, here approximately is what
that ton of coal contained:
Coke, 34.12 bushels; gas, ready for
commercial use, 1913 cubic feet; 1880
to 11.5O gallons gas tar; Ito pounds
aniline; 1.2 pounds aurin; 2.44 pounds
solvent naphtha; "a pounds heavy
naphtha; $50 pounds napthalense; II
pounds creosote; 14pounds of so-called
"heavy OIL" 46 pounds anthracine' and
69.6 pounds of pitch.
And the value of all this product?
Well, about 81 800. The creosote alone
will suffice to coat and preserve several
thousand feet of lumber, and the Ito
pounds of aniline and 1.2 pounds OF
aurin will dye 500 yards of flannel, light
blue; 100 yards yellow; 1850 yards
vermillion; $500 yards, full yellow; 100
yards, full violet; 255 yards turkey
red.
Strange it seems, that in ordinary
coal consumption all these riches
should go to waste. But, Of course, one
must consider that in order to get the
few pounds of marvelously powerful
coloring matter out of the coal, very
expensive manufacture is needed, and
after the aniline and aurin are OBJ
tanned, they must again be treated
with many chemicals, washed out" be-
fore they really become valuable. In
England and Germany the manufac-
ture of coal tar by-products is highly
developed.
1t is only within the last four or five
years that American manufacturers
have awakened to their great opportu-
nifty for making money out of coal tar.
Yes, the proposition was even adj
vanced that asphalt pavement should
be subjected to some special heating
process to extract its mysterious by
products. The scheme was actually
tried two or three years ago some
where in Pennsylvania, but was aban-

Atkins was more of scientist than
a humorist. He adjusted his spectacles
and looked critically at the young
woman who had won our admiration.
'Her complexion does credit to coal
tar" Atkins continued, ''her blonde
hair is frightened with coal tar, her
ruby lips are dyed with it, and should
not wonder II her teeth had been
cleaned with the same stuff. 1t seems
that she has perfumed her dress with
coal tar, and, as for the gaudy ribbons,
the snow white laces, the patent leather
shoes, the beauty ensemble-coal tar
did it all. Do you see that box of bon
bons she's carrying? Well, it's more
than probable that few drops of tar
oil remnant gave them their alluring
sweetness"
What Atkins had said was all strictly
scientific. The number and variety of
products from the tar oil industry is
simply Supplying. Fifty-four totally
different products, with characters
tics varying as widely as pitch, carbolic
acid and mirbane perfume, are made
and marketed. One hundred and fifty
different industries obtain part of

Horses Hats in Denver.

A Denver milliner has a soft spot
in her heart for horses. On a re-
cent trip to New York she made a
note of the horses hats, which had
not yet penetrated beyond the Mis-
sissippi. AS a result she took home
500 hats for horses, and when the
first hot day struck Denver she adj
vertised that she would give them
away to the first corners. AS a con-
sequence equine millinery has
reached Denver, and the western
horse is probably prepared to rise
up and call that particular milliner
blessed.
