GOOD FUEL IN WEEDS THAT

New Use For Papyrus Material of An

The announcement that good fuel

OF which the ancient Egyptians manu-
featured their paper may strike some
persons as odd. An Anglo German
syndicate has just been formed 10 COM
press into briquettes the rank growths
of papyrus and other reeds, locally
known as sud-, which cover an area
of $4,000 square miles on the upper
Nile and obstruct navigation.
The Sudan government has to main
tain a service of dredgers TO keep chan
nels open through the morass, and for
some 200 miles it is impossible to get
fuel of any kind, as the river channel
has no banks and the dredgers depend
for their coal supply on Khartum.
Coal or coal briquettes at Khartum
cost $16-50 ton. while wood is but lit
tie cheaper. The cost of transport is
the great handicap to the employment
of any other fuel, such as oil.
Now the ObStructing material itself
the sudd, is going to be cut, chopped
up and compressed into slabs on the
spot at the rate of fifty tons a Gay.
The promoters declare that the sud-
fuel, being 30 or 40 per cent cheaper,
will almost Immediately replace coal
on the Nile steamers and the Egyptian
railroads. The heating value of com
pressed sudd is nearly two-thirds that
of coal, while its density IS about four
ifths.

results. The experiments We're watch
