ENORMOUS COST
OF smoke CLOUDS
Net Only in Waste of Fuel, but
in Many Other Ways Is
Smoke Expensive.
From the San Antonio Light.

fioHl lHe San ANTONIO Light.
THE damage which smoke innicts every
year in the United States amounts to more
than 5000, O,OOo in the destruction of mer-
~clandise, the DETACHMENT of buildings, the
furnishing of metals, the injury to plant
life, and the greatly increased labor and
cost OF housekeeping" says III. Nj. Wilson,
chief engineer of the tech. ologic branch
OF the United States geological survey.
And all of it is useless. All of IL is
waste. All the carbon which floats away
like black snow to detle homes and ruin
property from that black-plumed smoke
stack which becloudS the air, is coal 1t
sends off no more smoke than does anth-
racite. 1t is imperfect combustion that
makes smoke. And Of course imperfect
combustion is a waste to the man who
burns the coal, as we'll as to the COM
munity which it defles.
Once some visitors at a factory saw that
no smoke vas to be seen leaving the
stacks.
What sort of sraoke-preventing device
have you?" asked one.
"A fireman named Pat G%iligan," was
the reply. LAS long as we can keep Pa
we won't have much smoke.
Pat was a good fireman. that is all.
Good stocking will stop a large part of the
smoke from all furnaces which have fire.
boxes large enough so that steam can be
Kept up without crowding the fires. When
the fires are crowded, nothing can pre-
vent smoke.
The mayor of a middle western CITY a
few years age started to get an ordinance
enacted to prevent smoke. He knew that
there We're devices for stocking fires which
will almost entirely stop the nuisance, and
he felt that 1t was rather ~disgraceful for
any community to stay dirty when it
might be clean.
There We're some packing houses in that
town, and they silently pulled wires to
kill the ordinance. The mayor was a
good politician. He went to the m; lager
of the packing house which he identified
with most of the adverse pull, and asked
him what the matter was.
II can't get an appropriation for the re-
building of the furnaces" said the man
aEer, Il know that it would be money In
our pockets to burn this coal rather than
waste it In smoke. But you have to have
firebox room for smokeless firing. Some
time we'll get around to it. Until we can
we'll have to fight you. Mr.. Mayor, and 1
believe We can stop you with this council"
The mayor was beaten. and retired
from the field gracefully.
The packing house went on poisoning
that community for 10 years longer. Then
1t rebuilt Its furnaces, put in mechanical
stokers, and now those same stacks send
out only a faint blur OF white smoke.
They could all accomplish the same re-
form. and would do SO ii the communities

plants We're only half awake to the plain
est considerations of economy and per-
