The nations inroaGs upon its coal
pile Ny the wastefm methods of min
ing and still more iwaste.ul methods
OF using fuel has added a novel step
in exact science toward the conserYa-
tion OF coal, now 80 per cent wasted
in the progress of producing power. A
device has been perfected by the lat
est type of specialist the "combus-
tion engineer" with which one IS
enabled to learn what gases are
present in a furnace and what ones
go up the chimney and thus deter
mine why a chimney belches SCOT,
hclw many heat units are wasted,
and why so that more power can be
produced from the coal consumed
than has been the common practice.
1.-THE field OF flue gas analysis Is as
yet an unexplored territory to
most OF US said the inventor of this
device, Jos. w. Hayes, OF Rogers
sion why the city is deluged wiUn
Park, H., who was called upon to ex-
rlain to Chicagos Smoke Commits
sion, why the city is deluged with
unconsumed particles of coal in SPITE
of effort7 made in good faith to check
the waste. In a monograph on
"iHow to Build Up Furnace Effic-
iency," which authorities regard as
the Last word on this very practical
subject, he said ''There are dol
lars to be saved at the furnace, and
only dimes at the engine. The prob
lem is to burn all of the combustible
with the least surplus of air. Low
wages paid TO firemen gets poor men,
yet man who knows how to fire a
boiler right will save The amount OF
his wages over and over again" Part
ly because of the anti-smoke crusade
In Chicago, Mr.. Hayes invention has
been put to practical use in this city
with success that shows when it Is
generally used the country's coal
supply will last longer than Is now
promised by the methods in general
use. According to figures of the
Conservation Commission, the coun-
try's coal mines will be exhausted by
the end of the next century unless
we slow up in the reckless waste of
fuel, get more horse power out of
every carload and devise more eco
nomical methods OF power produc-
