have been on the road since June 29.
Coming westward they took the Lin
cola highway and reported the roads
very poor. They went to San Fran
cisco and from there to Los Angeles,
San Diego and Mexico. The Midland
route proved to be their path east
ward.
ON the way to Tonopah they met a
large machine with six people who
told them that they were going to &c
by the Lincoln highway, for the Mid
land route was very bad. This party
came very near doing the same bu
finally decided TO take chances. They
said the Midland route was bettel
than they could ever expect anywhere
else and that the people of Nevada
ought to publish literature and adyer

THE MANY FACILITIES OF COAL.
By-Products of Fuel Are Almost In
Vulnerable.

MODERN science has succeeded in
evolving from a lump Of coal a
greater variety Of useful things than
is obtained from anything else we
dig from Mother Earth.
What may be described us the first
generation Of Goals descendants con-
sists of ammonia, Illuminating gas.
crude bcuzD', coal tar and coke. The
crude ammonia is the parent Of
household ammonia and Of the an
hydruus ammonia used in producing
artificial ice. Then there is am
monia chloride, an important element
In electric batteries. Ammonia nj
traie is used in the production of
high explosives. Ammonia b|iCarbon-
ate is valuable in baking Of food, and
most important of all is ammonia
sulphate, a powerful soil ferti izer.
Illuminating gas burns up in blaze
Of light and leaves no heirs.
Crude benzol has for its progeny
aniline dyes, and is Of great import
ance also in the manufacture Of auto
mobile tires and artificial leather.
Then there Is tOluol, a basis for mod
crn high explosives, and much in de-
mand for the war.
Coal tar, the fourth Of Goals i'm
mediate descendants, Is the mother Of
the bituminOus binder for building
automuhilc-p proof roads and for COW
oring roofs. Then there Is paving
pitch, used i'm the joints Of city pave
mcnts. Crcosotc oil, which can he
i"mprcgnated into wood and make it
proof against decay, gives us wood
block street pavements, durable pill
ing, mine timbers and long-liyed fence
posts. CrcosOte is worth S25, 900, coo
a year to the country in It's ability to
urolOng life Of fence posts.
In addition, coal tar is the parent
Of inuumcrah'e chemical and medical
products, especially phenOl or carbolic
acid, an indispensable medical disiu-
fcctant with inuumerable industrial
uses, including the process of manu-
featuring photograph records.
Napthalcnc, or coal tar camphor, is
useful in keeping moths out of cloth
ing.
Among the other great
rem in the carbolic branch are picriC
acid, a high explosive, and "a 'ong list
Of bactcric!des and di~sinfectluts, in
Guiding pyXol. which is twenty times
as powerful as carbolic acid, and is

less to animal life.
coke is useful as fuel, and it has
special value in the steel industry
