that mine disasters would be ended.
The great expense of mining coal,
hosting it to the surface and deliv-
ering it to the consumer would be a
thing of the past. AS there would
be no coal brought to the surface
there would be no coal smoke to dis
figure our cities and injure t~he'health
of the citizens.
Also it would make the worlds
coal supply last much longer, for then
it would be- possible to use coal in
thin seams, such as cannot be mined
today, because of the great expense
in getting 1t out.N
THE gas could be used nearby, and
others farther away could and would
depend upon electricity, which car

Sir William Ramsey, The most fa-

back of it. and mere is what he thinks
he can do:
Danish all smoke, except on water.
Cut the price OF power for mills and
factories to less than a fifth Of what
it costs now.
Cut the price Of electric lighting
to a tenth Of the present cost.
Make 1t possible for housewives to
cook and bake with electricity in
stead of gas, coal or wood.

can be piped UP and when not used
