WASHING AND COOKING
TESTS OF COAL
Results of Experiments at Government
Fuel Testing Plant, Denver,
Colorado.

A report on the washing and cooking
tests Of coal conducted at the fuel-test
ing plant Of the United States Geologi'
cal Survey at Denver, Colo, from July
], 1907, TO June 30, 1908, has just been
issued by the Survey as Bulletin ses.
The investigations described in this
report were undertaken by the govern.
ment for thu general purpose of increas
ing efficiency in the utilization OF the
fuel supply Of the United States by de
vising improvements in washing and
cooking Goals, these being two Of the
methods Of utilizing to best advantage
one of the country's most important
natural resources.
Previous Tests Made at st. Louis.
The Survey began its fuel testing in
vestigation at plant established in con
nection with the St. Louis Exposition,
and the Goals there tested were procur
chiefly from the Mississippi Valley and
Eastern States. When the work at st.
Louis was completed it was decided to
establish plant in the Rocky Noun
tain region for making washing and
cooking tests on the Goals of the west
ern half of the United States and gath
ering into closer touch with the fields
from which little or no coal had been re-
ceived at the st. Louis fuel.testing
plant. After an examination of several
available localities, Denver was selected
as the most suitable on account OF its
central location and ample railroad faci
lities.
Objects and Results of The Tests at
Denver
The washing tests were made to de-
termine the possibilities OF so improv-
ing the quality Of the Goals as to rem
der them available for cooking, for the
coal used for making coke must be as
free as possible from ash, sulphur, and
othar impurities. because of its prospec
tive use in metallurgieal processes. The
colsing tests were made TO determine
the possibilities of utilizing the various
Goals in this way or to devise improve
ments in coking practice.
The washing tests have already shown
that many Goals which are too high in
ash and sulphur for economical use I'M
der the steam boiler or for cooking may
be made commercially valuable by pro-
per treatment in the washety. The COX
ing tests have proved that many Goals
which were not supposed to be avail
able for economical colSing may be rem
dered so by proper treatment in the
washery and coke oven.
OF the many coals--more than hun
dred--from the Mississippi Valley and
the Eastern States, some of them re-
gnrded as noncoking, that had been
tested at St. Louis in 1906, all except
six had been found, when carefully ma
nipulated to make fairly good coke
for foundry and other metallurgical
purposes, and similar results with west
ern Goals have been obtained at Denver.
OF 81 Goals from the Rocky Mountain
region, all but three produced good
coke under proper treatment, though
number Of these had been considered
noncoking.

In the chapel of st. Ulrich lies
buried the heart of Henry III. 1t lay
formerly in the famous cathedral
which Henry built near his palace,
and which was torn down in 1919.
This piece of vanished glory pos

treasures and relics. 1t made moth

Nicholas, Lawrence, Cyril and Diony-

remains of the apostles themselves.
There was half of the Apostle Phil
Up, an arm of Bartholomew, and one
OF James; a hand, arm and the head
OF Matthew, and great part of the
bodies of Peter and Paul. There
were also many other wonders.
Many of these valuables were stol-
en- in the sack of Goslar in 1906, and
more during the Swedish occupation
in the Thirty Years war. Others

in his imperial robes, swept down
the broad steps of the Kaiserhaus,
heading a brilliant train of prelates,
princes, knights and many a band OF

part of the empire to bow at this
famous shrine. And after the last
amen had died away amid the
