The 500 people are giving the hg-
mite coal briquette a test. Enough
have been manufactured under the dl-
rection of DIR. r. j. Schimper for a
locomotive trial run and it will soon
be demonstrated whether the claims
of the inventor of the process are well
founded or not. The Minneapolis
Journal of the It'll inst. says: But
5 per cent of binder is used and he
compression reduces the bulk OF the
Ignite about one-third. The process
costs 81. 25 a ton, and tests nave es-
tablished the fact that the briQuettes
can compete with anthracite in every
respect. Experiments made at the
state university developed 1900 heat
units from anthracite and 1928 units
from the %briquettes. From the former
fuel the ashes weighed four pounds
while the prepared Ignite ash was
but one pound eight ounces. One
surprising result of the briQuetting
experiments is that partial combustion
of Ignite in this form produces a per-
feet coke. This was supposed to be
an impossibility with Ignite and
largely increases the value OF that
fuel"
