for the construction of bricks from cuin.
the waste which came from the coal
breakers and which formed miniature
mountains about the mouths of the coal
mines in the anthracite regions. Since
Gleason first conceived his idea of max
ing brick from this waste the coal COM
panieS have discovered that the cuin
piles. which at that time we're considered
worthless, have a commercial value. and
they are now screening these piles and
producing therefrom the pea coal and
other small sizes of anthracite which, at
that time. was thrown In with the waste.

The acquaintance between Lanse and
Gleason grew into friendship. For years
the former had been interested in the
subject which from prehistoric times had
enthralled the minds of scientific men,
and when chance or fate threw dis
ciple of the old-time Missionaries across
his path he became intensely interested,
and interest famed into life the old flame
of desire to attain the long-sought goal.
