SOLVING THE SMOKE EVIL.

The federal government does not
like the idea OF preaching to the pub
lie that smoke is unnecessary In burn
ing coal, while it has federal build
ings throughout the country that IN
some Instances violate all the ordi'
nances there are on the smoke prop
lem. It believes that wherever and
whenever possible, II 1t has something
of value for the people, 1t ought to
illustrate this itself by way OF ex.
ample.
The bureau of mines has for num-
Der of years been Investigating the
proper burning Of coal and has all the
time been maintaining IN smoky
Pittsburgh an experiment station that
has been operated without objection
able smoke. In these experiments
the bureaus experts have found that
different Goals from different parts OF
the country require different types OF
furnace IL the coal is to be burned
economically and without smoke. BY
using an experimental furnace the ex-
perts have discovered number OF
cardinal principles that they say
ought to be put in operation IN every
municipality in the United States.
The first step in this direction was
taken the other day when Representa-
tive M. D. Foster, chairman OF the
house committee on mines and min
ing, introduced bill which provides
that all wood, coal, oil, gas or otner
fuel to be purchased and used by any
executive department or independent
esta blishment at the seat OF govern.
ment or elsewhere shall be purchased
in accordance with the recommends
lions OF and under specifications pre-.
pared by the bureau Of mines.
The bill also gives the bureau the
right to Investigate the furnaces no"
in use, the manner of handling, stor'
ing and using Of coal and to recon-
mend such changes as will result IN
the greatest economy to the govern,
ment. 1t still further provides that
all the coal used by the government
shall be bought on what is known az
the heating unit basis, the govern
ment by. this method buying heat
rather than coal as coal.

efficiency. are strengthened and the
torpedo is drawn toward its mark at

oil that will soon become an impor-

over the entire district to get an idea
of the extent and thickness OF the
