Coal by Trolley Cars.

The Leyden Coal Company has be-
gun operations this week as an active
rival of other companies doing business
in the Denver market. The company
is owned by the same interests which
control the Denver Tramway and the
Denver & Northwestern Railroad Com
pany, and has the advantage of their
electric lines in reaching local markets
with its product.
A second shaft has been driven at
the Leyden mine and the machinery
has been put in operation. The com-
pany is prepared to deliver large
daily output. Big coal yards have been
established opposite EIitch's Gardens
on the land adjoining the old West
End power house. Several additional
side tracks have been put in and the IA
cilities are now available for any
amount of traffic
Thirty of the fifteen-ton IngoldSby
dump cars, delivered some time ago to
the Tramway and Denver & North
western, have been fitted with electric
motors and trolleys. and are now In
use hauling coal from the Leyden mine
to the West End yards. Coal is also
hauled direct to the various Tramway
power houses over the electric lines,
saving much expense for carriage.
The system of hauling the coal to
the city, as now adopted in supplying
the Tramway power houses, is this:
An 1ngoldsby patent dump car fitted
with four powerful motors, is used as
the motor car for train of six of these
dump cars and proves powerful enough
to pull the load easily over the grades
from Leyden to the city. This train
is run up on the elevated track at the
power house and the automatic dump
ing apparatus quickly deposits the coal
in the bins below. If the Tramway
company is permitted to run these
trains over its city tracks, it is expect
ed that the same system will be used
to supply various retail coal yards and
branch depots may be established in
various parts OF the city, from which
neighborhoods can be supplied with
fuel at small carriage cost.

Utilizing Atmospheric Nitrogen.

Professor Frank of Charlottenburg
Germany, has made a discovery of al
mos inestimable value to farmers and
especially to wheat growers, if it is
true that he has discovered means by
which free nitrogen of the air can be
utilized in manufacturing fertilizers at
cost admitting of their use in practi-
cal iarming.
Several years ago a distinguished
writ,r on such subjects made the
gloomy prediction that the day would
come in the near future when the world
would be unable to produce enough
wheat for the use for the great mass
of people. He based the prediction up
on The belief that the wheat lands
would become overtaXed by frequent
cropping, and that there would be in
adequate means for their fertilization.
The great need was a cheap fertilizer
containing sufficiently high percen-
tagc Of nitrogen.
If Irof. Frank has succeeded in uti-
liZing the free nitrogen of the air in
an e.pnomical way, he has gone far
towards solving the problem of main
tanning the fertility of wheat lands.
The beds from which nitrOgenOus ferti-
lizer- are now being obtained may be
exhausted but their place can be taken
by fertilizers produced according to the
the method devised by Prof. Frank.
In lpport of the belief that he has
solved this problem it said that
farmers have for several years been eX-
riH.nting with fertilizers produced
by Prof. Frank. and that these expert
