VALUE OF COAL TAR
FOUNDATION FOR TWO HUNDRED
SEPARATE SUBSTANCES.
Wonderful Chemical Triumph In the
Working UP Of Useful Products
from Material Formerly
Considered WASTE"

Few are familiar with the COM
pleteness with which former wasted
elements of coal are recovered ana
transformed into valuable products IN
the manufacture of Solvay coke.
1t is not so long ago that gas works
were paying to have one OF these Dy'
products, then called waste-product,
carted away from the works. This was
| tar. Not only was no revenue derived
from it. but it actually cost money
to get rid of it. Now, this tar is one
of the valuable by-products in coke
making. From every ton of coal con-
verted into coke about nine gallons OF
coal tar are produced, and the history
| of chemistry tells of no more sklllful
work than was done in working up
useful and valuable products from
this black sticky mass.
Over 200 separate substances have
been isolated from tar. or the hrst
Importance are anthracenc and naph-
thalene. Anthracene, in a pure state,
is a beautiful yellow crystal, and is
the starting point for a series of the
well-known coal tar dyes. Naphtha-
lene is also the basis of a series or
dyes, but is better known in the form
of moth-balls. Although coal tar is
black, the naphthalene comes out OF
1t as white as snow.
Two other important products OBJ
tanned from the tar are carbolic and
crysylic acids. The uses of these two
products as disinfectants and germl'
cides need no description. But there
is another use for carbolic acid which
is not so generally known, viz, that
transforming of it into picric acid by
treatment with concentrated nitric
acid. The picric acid is the base for
deadly high explosives" And strange
ly enough, after you have shot man
to pieces with picric acid, you can
allay his pain with the same thing, for
picric acid has place in surgery.
Books have been written on the
products obtained from coal tar, but
here we can but touch upon the sub
ject, and we may conclude with the
mere mention of creosote oil for pre-
serving timber, etc, of pitch for roofs
and for roads, of pyridine for denatur-
ing alcohol. We must leave untouched
the great number of complex chem
icals which are either used them
selves or are transformed into other
substances in a never-ending cycle.
Besides the tar, every ton of coal
made into Solvay coke produces about
five and one-half pounds of pure am
monia, which is equivalent to about
20 pounds of ammonium sulphate,
fertilizer of unrivaled merit. This fer
tilizer is made from the ammonia by
combining it with sulphuric acid, or
oil of vitriol. Or the ammonia may be
converted to the liquid ammonia of
the drug stores, or it may finally ap-
pear as real liquid ammonia. which is
pure ammonia gas liquefed by
pressure and cold.
Further uses of ammonia are as
smelling salts and the carbonate of
the baker, which makes possible all
the modern dainty CONNECTIONS. The
ammonia chloride used in batteries
also is derived from the coal which
goes to make coke.

when a man really loves his wife
he ought to combine all his incest

one big sentiment for her.
He should show her the respect he
feels toward his mother. the polite

responsibility he feels toward his sis

ITO all of that he should add the
great love he should feel for wife. y

TROLLEY GAR
AND AUTO HIT
Dangerous Collision Occurs
on Drawbridge Over the
Matawan Greek.
DAMAGE, $500
MOntcIaIr LoCOmobiIe En-
Route for This City Brought
to a Local Garage.

While crossing the draw bridge
over the Matawan creek, between
Keyport and Cliffwood, forty
horsepower Locomobile touring car,
owned by Robert Mead, of Montclair,
collided with one of the Jersey Cen
trail Traction Company's cars shortly
after o'clock Wednesday night The
automobile was damaged to the ex-
tent of 5000 and some of the win
dows of the trolley car were broken.
In the automobile were Mr.. Mead,
his chauffeur and woman, all OF
whom had a narrow escape from Sc
rious injury. The trolley car con
tained nine passengers who received
a good shaking up.
At the time of the accident the
automobile was bound for this city.
AS 1t entered the southerly end OF
the draw, trolley car bound for
Keyport was crossing. Suddenly the
current was broken, supposedly on
account of sleet on the wire, and the
lights In the trolley car went out.
An instant later the current was re-
established and the trolley car
jumped forward, striking the front
of the automobile with such force
that It was completely turned around
For several minutes there was con-
siderable excitement until 1t was
found that no one had been injured
That the automobile remained on the
bridge was almost miraculous.
The passage over the creek Is very
narrow and 1t has been complained
repeatedly that, on account of travel,
lit is too much so. AS near as could
be learned the accident was due to
the lights going out on the trolley,
as the driver of the auto had no
knowledge OF the close proximity OF
the car until the collision occurred.
Word was telephoned to the Perth
Amboy Garage in this city and. Man
ager Voorhees, with a wreeking crew
went TO the scene Immediately. The
Locomobile was later towed to the
garage in this city, where it is being
REPAIRED. The radiator, lamps, wind
jshield, top, front axle, two front
springs and two tires were ruined.
At the garage 1t was stated that
practically everything expensive on
the machine was damaged and that
the cost of the repairs will reach
about 5000.

Rev. Mr.. Northrup said in part
ut Is worth while to give thanks
If we can thereby glorify God. 1t is
itself reason to be thankful that
God places so high value upon a

mind and humblest heart
1T is called a sacrifice of thanks

worth and weight Of sacrifice. Sac

world has known This scripture
shows that God prefers the simple,
spiritual, real thank offering of the

and goats, Progress in spiritual re-
ligion is marked by the advance
from the symbolic to the real, from
the material sign to the spiritual
thing signified. But let us retain
the weight and impressfveness of the
ancient form while thanking God
in the simple, heartfelt, spiritual
form.
