Uses Limestone for Fuel.
From the 81. Louis Pos. Dispatch.

From the 81. Louis Post Dispatch.
Alexander Marshall told yesterday how hi

greatly reduce the worlds consumption o

He claims 70 have discovered method
whereby the cost of coal, by the use Of lime
stone, in furnaces Of any kind, may be re-
duced to one-half. The limestone exists In
sufficient quantities in the Piasa Bluffs along
the Mississippi River to supply Alton with
fuel for centuries 10 come. Marshall's scheme
proves generally successful.
''You see, throw In plenty Of coal 10 get
q red hot fire in the furnace" said Nj. Mar.
shall. "Then throw in equal parts in bulk
Of coal and limestone. In few minutes a
white heat 10 generated which has absolutely
no smoke"
A strong limelight blaze at once fared up
In The furnace. The former dark, black
smoke from the stacks began to be trans
formed into light, airy gas-carbonic acid
gas released from the carbonate Of lime. The
heat was intense, and in few minutes 1t
seemed as If the seams OF the boilers would
melt.
"Ooal alone never gave such heat" re-
marked Mr.. Marshall. "In o few weeks
will have a testing apparatus here for the
purpose Of finding out exactly the amount Of
coal and then the number Of units In Goa
and limestone"
After the test the residue leit was exhibited
In the CRATE, There were no clinkers the
coal had evidently all been consumed.
"The residue makes good fertilizer" Mr..
Marshall said "0f course the ashes are no I
40 good as the limestone before burning, for
that contains 40 per cent more Of carbon
The advantage lies In the fact that use has
already been made Of the coal. Left In the
ground for longer time the burned lime
stone will bring about exactly the same effect
as the pure limcstone-that 10, In correcting
