BRIQUETS EFFICIENT FUEL
Government Makes Experiments with
Coal Pressed Into Bricks.
RAILROADS ALSO INTERESTED
Tremendous saving a Nations Fuel
Bill VIII Result from Successful
Method of Handling slack
and Ignite Coal.
tFrom a staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jen. 3t.-(SpecIal.)--
Millions of tons of coal may be saved to
thu country through the Investigations Of
the ~technologic branch of the United
States geological survey into the briquet-
ting of coal. For several years this
braDcli of the government has been con-
Quoting a series of experiments in the
hope of stopping the tremendous waste
In the use of fuels, and one of these was
the making of b%riauets out of slack or
waste coal. This fine coal, which has
not nearly the value of the lump coal be-
cause of the difficulty in burning it, is
mixed with 5 or 6 per cent of water gas
pitch and pressed into cakes OF bricSs
by powerful machinery.
Several hundred tons of these briduets
were made at the fuel-testing plant at st.
Louis, Mo-, and later at Norfolk, Va. This
prepared fuel was used in a number of
tests by the Pennsylvania, the Missouri
Pacific. the Lake Shore, the Michigan Gem
tral. the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, the Chi
cage & Eastern Illinois, the Chesapeake
G. Ohio and the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
roads. and in every instance the b%riquets
furnished more power, with less weight
of fuel. than the run-of-mine coal from
the same mines. They further showed
less smoke than the coal and indicated
that their proper use at terminals might
do away with a large part of the smoke
nuisance from the railroads in the big
cities of the country.

Tests In Boat Boilers.

In cooperation with the Navy depart
ment, a series of tests were made on the
torpedo boat Biddle off Hampton Roads,
and the briquets, weight for weight with
the coal, succeeded in generating much
more power, but there was very little diff
ference in the amount of smoke.
To the navy these tests are of the great
est Importance. The fact that the
briquets give more power than the coal
means that a vessel carrying 1000 tons
of briquets will be capable of steaming
a farther distance than on with 1900 tons
of raw coal. In time of war this would
be very desirable, especially If the fleet
were in foreign waters, far from coalipg
stations.
To the railroads, the briquets, 1t is said,
will undoubtedly prove a valuable fuel, be-
cause of the hotter fire they make and
the lessening of the smoke. In a number
of the road tests the engines using briquets
carried heavy trains much faster than with
the coal. They showed their ability in a
number of instances in making up lost
time, which would have been impossible
with the raw coal, according to the state
ments of the men who operated the engines.

Goss Tells of Efficiency.

A report on the results of these tests has
just been made to the geological survey by
Prof. w. r. NJ. Goss, consulting engineer,
in charge Of locomotive tests. He sees
many advantages to the railroads in the
use of briquets. In locomotive service"
says Mr.. Goss, "the substitution of briquets
for coal has resulted in marked increase in
efficiency, In an increase in boiler capacity
and in a decrease in the production of
smoke. 1t has been especially noted that
careful firing of briquets at terminals is
effective in diminishing the amount OF
smoke produced"
The tests as a whole indicate that many
low grade Goals, now considered useless,
may make an admirable fuel and thus add
to the supply of the country. which is being
used at a rapid rate.

he had covered miles of the distance he
discovered that instead of a continuous line
to the shore he was carrying but a few
yards of a rat-eaten rope which had parted.
But that is ancient history. Tom Gale, the
delegate from Alabama, has a bill in con-
gress to give Hall a congressional medal
of honor and IL any man ever deserved It
it is Captain william Hall, that little
sawed-off Irish-Amertcan sailor, miner and
explorer. Hall has papers which emon-
strate that the officers of the American
navy and of the American revenue marine
service appreciate the great service he has
done in the past. and II congress could see
these papers and could digest them for five
minutes, there is not tho faintest question
of doubt as to the fate of the Gale bill.
1t would be passed in a minute and signed
in another by the president.
Since he was here a year ago, Captain
Hail has Travelled more than $500 miles.
Besides trolley lines. steamboats,, steam
cars and sailboats, he has used kayaks. dog
sleds, reindeer sleds, skin canoes, RATS and
shanks' mare in completing this long jour
ney. He has visited In his fifty years OF
life practically every quarter OF the globe.
He speaks virtually every dialect of the
south seas from Hawaii TO the Gilbert ISL
ands, and is particularly well versed in the
affairs of Samoa, in which kingdom he
spent upwards Of twelve years of his life.
Today he is an explorer. and when in
Washington this week he exhibited a couple
of the most curious little mummies that he
picked up in northern Siberia. that were
ever seen here. He started west again on
Thursday In order to catch a steamer for
Japan from San Francisco, on the 5th OF
February, and he will probably land once
more in northeastern Siberia before he re-
gress does the right thing. as they should
do. there will be a medal of honor await
