WET CHEMICALS AS FUEL.
Inventor Thinks He Has Found Sub.
stitute for Coal.

Darby, Pa.-After working on the
principle for a long time, George
Smith. a well known hot water heat
er expert, believes he has perfected a
compound that will do away with coal
as a medium for heat.
Smiths invention, which he says
will heat a house at temperature Of
20 degrees in winter and maintain Il
at that in the coolest weather, is an
elaboration of the principle Of heat
generation In water by chemical COM
bustion.
The heat units generated plan on a
wrought iron boiler, instead of cast
iron. and thus have the advantage o.
heating water quicker, because this
metal is not as thick and yet 1t Is
stronger than cast iron. Once the
water Is heated to a certain point
it begins to circulate through the
pipes.
