Test Your Coal.

The United States Government is a
buyer of coal to the amount of over
So, 900, 900 year. Prior to 1904 con-
tracts were given to the lowest bidder
on the theory that coal is coal and
that there was not enough heatmak>
ing difference between different lots
from the same region or mine to make
any scientific quality tests worth
while.
Since then several laboratories
have been established, and it has been
found that some of the coal offered is
expensive at any price. Now samples
are required with bids and a great
saving has been effected The time
may come when the citizen will re-
quire complete analysis of the bin.
1t will be an easy matter to enact a
pure fuel law and make it Unable
offense to sell coal without an analy-
sis label or with false one N. Y.

EDiSON'S CEMENT HOUSE.

We have on several occasions had
articles in these columns on the ce-
ment houses that Thomas Edison pro-
posed to mould in twelve hours
That Mr.. Edison is dead in earnest in
the matter is shown by the following
letter which he is sending out.
Orange N. J May 8, 1908.
am in receipt of many letters re-
garding newspaper articles, describ
ing cement house, which / am about
to erect. The writer's of most of the
letters have misread the articles and
| take the occasion to explain just
what | propose to do.
now have a model one-fourth the
size of the house, designed by New
York architects.
This winter / shall construct iron
moulds and devise machinery where
by full size house can be cast in
twelve hours, after the monlds are
in position. At the end of six days
the moulds ale removed and the
house will be complete, including
stairs, partitions, mantels, bath, etc.
and after drying six days will probab
ly be ready for occupancy.
To build this house for 81 900 it IS
essential that it be built on sandy
soils, as the materials excayated for
the cellar is all that is required to
build the house. except of course, the
cement.
The cost of the iron monlds will be
about &25, 900, the cost Of the other ma :
chinery about $l5, 200. From this out
fit an unlimited number OF houses
can be erected. But houses cannot
be erected for the price named with a
single mould, as the machinery and
the men would be idle several days.
But, if say moulds for six houses were
used, the machinery and men would
be kept in continuous employment;
erecting from 10 to ~ houses monthly
The patterns which am making are
so devised that the same patterns can
be used to make over sixteen different
types of houses.
1t is probable that companies will
be formed, who will have several
moulds, each Of a different design,
and will go actively into business.
/ have not gone into this with the
idea Of making money from it, and
will be glad to license reputable par.
ties to make moulds aud erect houses
without any payments on account Of
patents. The only restriction being
that the designs OF the house be sat
isfactory to me, and that they shall
use good material; but nothing viii
be done until the experimental house
is erected.
Very truly yours,
! THOMAS A. EDISON.
