- NE Of the most interesting OF
the by products Of the coal
- mines is sulphuric acid Coal
veins contain sulphur, most COM
monty in chemical combination with
iron. The poorer the coal the more
sulphur there is. Such compounds,
becoming oxiCized, form sulphuFlc
acid, great quantities Of which IN
free state are continually draining
from the mines into the rivers.
This sort of thing is going on AZ
such a rate that the amount OF sui
phuric acid carried away by the
streams of the coal region OF Penn
sylvania in the course Of a year has
been estimated by the Water Re
sources branch of the Government
Geological Survey at $4,000 tons-a
quantity equal to more than two
thirds of the total sulphuric acid
consumed in a twelvemOnth IN the
United States for industrial pur-
poses.
Sulphuric acid has many uses IN
the arts. Among other things, it is
employed to clean iron before the
latter is galvanized; likewise in the
treatment of sheet iron for making
dnware, and the wire for fences and
nails. For these and other nurDOS -
$4,000 tons of it are consumed an

the Government exports, no less
than $4,000 tons Of sulphuric acid
flows in a year past the town of Nc
KeespOrt, in the YOughiOgheny River
that is to say, 10000 tons more
than is utilized industrially in Pitts
burgh and its vicinity during the
same period.
To put the case otherwise, fully
S1,2O0,000 worth Of sulphuric acid,
produced by nature. is carried away
every year by one stream in a neigh
borhoOd where the same stuff is re-
quired for use by thousands of tons
in factories. Here is a problem for
the industrial chemist to solve-the
obvious difficulty in the way being
that the solution Of acid is so very
dilute that attempts to concentrate
it would be likely to prove unprof-
able.
Incidentally. the acid robs the
streams of all their oxygen, kills the
fishes, and attacks structures OF
iron. It literally eats up bridge
piers, lock gates, etc, and at the
present time is making a lot Of
trouble in the Government canals
along the headwaters of the Ohio
