We could put up forty such buildings each out

The Age of the Gas Engine.


In order TO down this waste Uncle Sam has
been testing various Goals and making expert

Of apparatus for testing the COAL and he has been
making special work of what known the gas
producer and gas engine, which show that

The gas producer, which was tested by the govern
ment the St Louis exposition, is well known
that It is in all the country and 1t is doing
much to drive out the steam boiler It has aided in
the development of the gas engine, and today four
cycle, twn-tandem doube-acting engines of 1000
5000 horsepower be found in all up-todate
steel plants. and there installations where
the engines contain several units each rated at
horsepower.
In the production Of gas the coal is put into what
looks like mighty steel boiler stood upon end. II
is great furnace cylinder of STEEL The coal is
put in at the top, which is then closed, forced
draft soon converts It into gas. There is no smoke
the combustion is perfect, and the gas passes out
through pipe into gas engine In which It produces

Pays for Heat and Power Only

An even more interesting process is the discovery
Of how much heat or power the coal This is more
important than anything else. The government does
not want to pay for water ashes, both of which
1t handle and the latter of which it must cart
away. 1t is buying heat and power, and 1t watches
the scales you watch your grocer when Weighing
sugar meat. The power is tested by placing
a thimbeful of coal inside metal cylinder which is
then charged with oxygen This cylinder is placed in
tin of water and by of electricity the coal
is exploded. According 1t is rich poor the
poson is greater less, and the quality is known
by the rise in the temperature of the water caused
by the explosion. The temperature of the water is
taken before the explosion occurs and Immediately
thereafter, the difference in the number Of degrees
giving the figures which determine the heating value.
It is only a matter Of time when all coal will be
bought in that way. FRANK c. CARPENTER.

Leaks Which Equal Million Dollars Day.

How would you like to have of Uncle Sans
tax collectors appear at your bedside every morning
all the year through and force you to pay him SO?
That is the leak which the United States annually
loses from the waste in it's coal, to say nothing of
the losses in the mining of iron, copper, silver and
gold and other metals of various kinds These fig
ures are given me by Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, the d.
rector of the bureau of mines who knows more about
our fuel than any other in the country
says that fully half the coal is left in the mines,
that of the amount gotten out in the production
of steam 80 to 95 per cent of its energy

These are among the testing arrangements which
Uncle Sam is now using discover the heat and
power values of coal supplies He has all sorts
Of instruments which determine the amount of mois-
ture and ash in each ton of fuel and just how much
work II will do
It used to be that coal was bought upon the repu-
tation of the mine from which it came The price
was so much per ton, and the manufacturer or do
nestle consumer thought nothing of the ashes and
moisture Today the country is fast coming to esti-
mate the coal by heat units, and this is the basis
upon which all government purchases are made We
are now spending something like s10,000,000 year
for the fuel used by the and navy and the vari-
GUS government departments, and 1t is through such
tests that saving at least 100000 over the
cost of the coal in the past
The great factories and foundres are beginning to
buy their coal the way, and the bureau of
mines will eventually be able to show every man just
