EXPERIMENT WITH COAL-In the
hope of increasing the efficiency OF les coal
supply, the Navy Department will soon
begin experiments at New London, Conn,
to determine whether coal can be preserved
better under water than on land. If the
experiments show that the coal does not
lose as much OF its efficiency under water
as it does when piled in the open air, rad1-
cal changes will be made in its storage at
the various coaling stations OF the United
States. Beds for coal under water would
probably be constructed at many OF The
American coaling stations.
