Improvement
in Coke Making.

IN COKE MAKING. believe that one Of
| the most important is the great improve
ment which has been brought about in
/ the manufacture Of coke. which is used
| extensively in steel mills. The oldtime
method Of manufacturing coke is by USE
| of the so-called beehive oven. which
| produced coke all right, but allowed val
liable gases and other by-products te
escape into the air.
! Several decades ago the invention known
| as the by-product oven was introduced
| into practical coke manufacture. and
through it's use it is believed that mil
| lions of dollars are being saved an
nuany through economy in fuel and by
making possible the use of many by
nroducts coming from the coke. AS an
| important medium for the conservation
/ of the country's coal resources. omclals
of the bureau of mines are giving the
| improved methods OF coke manufacture
| their closest attention.
One of the most important plants where
a study may be made Of the use OF coke
by-products is found in the immense stee
mills at Gary: Ind During the last sla
duced coke at the rate of 2.N0ND tons a
year on a mixture of IS per cent of Poca-
hontas coal and - per cent OF high vola-
tile Goals. Engineers figure that the con-
seryatiOn of coal through producing this
amount of coke in the by-product ovens
instead Of the type OF beehive ovens
amounts to about /. 10000 tons of coal
per year Not only was there this great
saving in coal, but the actual utilization
| of surplus gases for various heating pur-
| poses at the Gary plant for the same
| period is equivalent to an annual saving
| by replacement Of practically 100000 tons
| of coal
In other words, in the annual conSump-
ton of 300, 900 tons of coal in this one city
| through the use of the by-product coke
! oven the saving of 100000 tons OF coa
| has been accomplished, which means the
| conservation of that amount of coal OF
! the country's coal resources from the op-
Grafton in one plant alone
| Germany has gone far ahead of the
| United States in practicsng the conserva-
| ton OF coal through the use of the better
methods of manufacturing coke to be
| used in the steel industry. Nearly twenty
years ago the last of the wasteful bee
| hive ovens were abandoned in German!
and the new by-product or. retort ovens
| installed In the United States today
| less than - per cent of the total coke
produced is from by-product ovens. This
| is said by engineers to represent a tre-
mendous waste of fuel resources and
energy and it is believed that manufac-
turers will soon find out that the day will
! soon come when it will be necessary &c
adopt the more modern methods in order
| to meet competition In prices of those
| steel manufacturers and coke producers
| who are making more coke for less
money and at the same time are getting
| the use of gas. ammonia and other i'm
/ portant by-products.

American Waste
of Radium Source

Charles l.. Par
American Waste sons of the
of Radium Source. $50 ss s,.es
has just returned to Washington with
the news that great wastes are going
on in the principal fields of this precious
mineral. which are in Colorado and Utah.
The American carnotite ore fields are
now the chief source of the radium supply
Of the whole world.
DR.. Parsons was accompanied on his
trip by Karl L. kithil of the bureau of
mines and DR.. Howard A. Kelley OF johns
Hopkins University. noted surgeon who
uses considerable radium and who has
a. patriotic interest in the production OF
radium in this country.
With the exception of one manufacture
ing concern in Pittsburgh all of the ra-
dunn produced today is manufactured
abroad although the only large known
fields of carnotite ore to be found In the
world are located in this country out
side of the work at this one American
plant little progress has been made in
manufacturing radium here. and foreign
concerns practically have a control or the
worlds markets.
European radium manufacturers realize
that they stand almost alone as produc-
ers of this valuable substance and that
there is little call for the ore from other
sources For this reason the price OF
carnotite ore is not advancing as II was
expected to- because of the restricted
markets. Experts in the bureau of mines
look forward with interest to the expert
ments which are being made in the gov
ernment's laboratory in Denver in the
study Of the utilization of carnotite ores
and also to the experiments which are
being made by the private laboratory in
Pittsburgh Before many years nave
passed il is expected that America Will
outstrip the whole world in the produc-
ton of radium. because of the fact that
practically all the ore fields are In this
country, in western Colorado and ltah.
DR. Parsons believes that the carnotlte
being mined at present is handled with
too much waste and that the vas,
amounts of lower grade ores which are
being rejected should be conserved until
a later time when they are needed, in
much the same manner as culm piles al
coal mines are today yielding much more

ments. for both wind and rain blow and
wash out some of the most valuable con-
stituents DR.. Parsons Is In FAVOR OF
storing the low-grade in the mine. even
II some expense is involved. and believes
ultimate saving to the owners OF the car
notite fields. He believes further that
the use OF radium In surgery and in the
various industries 10 only in it's begin
ming and that the years to come will see
great increases In the demand for the
valuable product.
A tree planting machine has been in

and tried by government
Tree Planting foresters at the Utah ex-
pertinent station. II the
1A@o"AAo' invention proves rs val
liable as It promises, its adoption In the
reforestation work Of the forest service IL
likely to follow. With such mechanical
planter the personal element that now
enters largely into the planting Of each
individual tree can be practically elm
mated. This personal element counts for
a great deal, tree experts say. as some
men sacrifice efficiency for speed and are
likely to put a tree in the ground with
the roots bent back and upward. and this
in many instances retards growth or even
kills the little tree.
Various tree planting devices have been
tried at different times for putting small
seedlings into the ground One of these
consists of a large wheel set with spikes,
which. as the wheel revolves over the
surface Of the ground, punches holes as
with the old-fashioned dibble Pine seed
lings gathered in bundles are automat-
ically dropped into these holes and the
earth firmed in about them. This ma
chine, however, is of use only on level
ground and in soft soil-conditions not
found in the mountain areas of the ma
tiOnal forests.
The new Utah device is a hand tool.
working on the principle of the corn
planter. by which the individual tree is
dropped into hole made by the machine
and the roots covered with soil as the
planter is removed.
This is only one of the many schemes
which have been tried for tree planting.
broadcast sowing has proved too expen-
sive of seed. One of the most success
full devices for dropping seed is heavy
rake with a hollow handle. BY means of
this the soil is stirred and the seed is
then dropped and covered by means of
the rake. the operator using a small
lever at the top of the handle to release
the proper number Of seed contained
therein.
1t is likely that the efforts of the for
est service to replant large burned areas
will result In further developments of
these devices. At least 100000 acres,
in the aggregate. will have to be refor-
ested sooner or later through artificial
planting. The present rate is about
10000 acres year. but this will be
greatly accelerated because the paintings
which have been accomplished so far
have been largely experimental and for
this reason the work has not been hur-
ried.
