OF recoverable nitrogen. only about
one-siXth was treated in ovens or re

possible.
sThe rest of the nitrogen in the coal
went off as free nitrogen in the air.
Tt is estimated that since the first hy-
product coke oven was built in this
country in 1899 and up 10 the present
time. the coke cooked in the old-fash-
ioned beehive ovens, where the nitro

amounted TO about sl0.000.o00 tons
Had this been cooked in by-product
ovens the volatile nitrogen OF the coal
would have yielded twenty-three
pounds Of ammonium sulphate per ton,

$50 a ton, would have had value OF

and this continues to pay. but the man
of elevated mind now rarely goes to any
tl.eater at all. The result is that the
dramaturgic and managerial talents
which went to make better sort of thea
ters are seeking a substitute. They want
something which will preserve dramatic
art. and appeal at the same time to the
masses of men and women, without
whose interest art is in vain
The Provencal poet Mistral, the Swiss
Lorenz and the German Wachier are the
creators of the nature theater. Mistrai
led by producing open-air drama in Ha-
drians restored theater at Orange, IN the
French department of NaucluSe. Being
essentially return TO classical ways, the
nature theater from the first was soaked
in the classical tradition. After Mi trail
the next great figure is Robert I-orenZ
Lorenz was won to the movement through
seeing the Hans Sachs Minnesinger rep
reservations at Halle. He first made
some production experiments at Hohen-
twiel. in Wurttemberg. Next he produced
the Bride of Messina' with a chorus of
ssn persons in the ruins of the Roman
Theater at Vindonissa, now Windisch. in
the Swiss canton of Aargau. The chorus
was local. This initiative had great sue
cess. and led to the creation of perma-
nent nature theater under Lorenz'S direc-
tons at Lucerne.
Lorenz is the head of the section OF the
nature theater propagandists which rejects
''the local idea" This local idea is
that the open-air theater in each district
should play mainly pieces of local origin,
and which illustrate local traditions. his
tory and customs. According to this
theory, the spectators and artists and
dSamatists are one and interchangeable.
The nature theater thus becomes fos-
terer of local patriotism. Carried to ex-
treme. the theory means that every vii
lage shall have it's nature theater, and
shall think more of local art and interests
than of world art
The exponent OF this type of nature
theater and the most successful nature
theater manager in Germany Is DIR. Ernst

This danger Is recognized by Lorenz.
who holds that the nature theater should
be universal in its appeal: and In his ma
ture theater near Lucerne he has realized
his ideal. Lorenz holds that the stage and

representations will be held in forests, on
meadows and on beaches. The Austrian
critic Groben predicts that the nature
theater will be the greatest influence upon
civilization since the reformation.

there will be five or six in the forests
around the city.
The Poles have started fine nature
theater at Lemberg, and the Norwegians
another, which holds 5000. at Christiania
Altogether in central Europe hundred

of % per cent in boiler efficiency. The
scientific control of the combustion OF
coal under boilers is constantly increas-
ing, but the losses of carbon that is still
pouring from our chimneys, defacing
monuments, buildings and landscape, are
without valid reason
Mr.. Parsons says that the losses in
making Of coke by the old fashioned
process wasted $4o.0oOOOo in the United
States last year. He calls this an entirely
needless and seemingly ruthless loss. He
declares that these coke ovens. without
taking into account the value of the by
products that were possible. wasted more
than one million horsepower in the year
All this loss might be prevented by the
use of modern methods. he says.
THE dust from stacks and chimneys
Of all kinds, says Mr.. Parsons, is often
not only a great. waste Of valuable ma
terial, out is one OF The great evils OF
modern civilization. Valuable metallif-
erous dusts are strewn broadcast from
the stacks of our smelters: gases and
poisonous soils destroy vegetable and
animal life, and masses OF black smoke
pour from our chimneys and settle In
clouds over many OF our cities, rendering
them exceedingly disagreeable and un-
slightly. Even with present knowledge
practically all dust nuisances are prevent
able, and legislation the country over is
diminishing the dust output from smelt-
ers, cement plants and smoking Chin
neys, often with the result that the col
lection OF dust incident to smoke pre-
Nention becomes a source of profit.
Almost inestimable losses of sulphur,
arsenic and bisnuth are now taking place
in the fiue dusts and fue gases.
I'm proportion to output the losses or
zinc are probably greater than those OF
any other metal, and are especially inn
portant because there is almost no re-
covery of zinc from manufactured
products and almost no conservation OF
zinc by accumulation. Besides these
losses in the mining and concentration of
zinc ores there are incalcula BILE losses,
which without question run into many
millions of dollars and undoubtedly ex-
ceed the total va ue of the zinc mined
in slags and waste products from other
processes. Zinc has been and in general
still is considered about the worst inn
purity to be found in the ores OF copper
and lead. for 1t has always given trouble
in their metallurgy.
I'm combined. but unfortunately in rela-
lively insoluble. form there are un United
supplies Of potash in this country. Be
cause no methods are known for eco
nomicaliy obtaining the potash We are
obliged to import from Germany about
S1o.OOOOO0 worth each year. Potash Is
absolutely essential, and unless methods
can be found for obtaining it from
domestic supplies We shall be obliged
to purchase it from Germany at price
at least 400 per cent more than the cost
of delivery in New York.
Our waste OF nitrogen. worth in
combined form about Is cents per
pound is almost inconcciyable and
no calculation can give us a real idea
of what these losses mean. Although
we produced last year over 406 OO0, 900
