RY.Product Coke Oven.

The iron industry of this country
has been adopting the by-product cox
ing process at marvellous rate. There
are practically no by-prOduct coke
plants in the United States, which do
not recover ammonia, tar and light oil
(crude benZoD.
In the vast majority of the plants
also surplus gas is recovered and util-
lied either mt the plant itself or by
distribution to outside consumers.
There are possibly two or three very
small by-product coke plants at which
tar and ammonia are not recovered for
disposal to the outside markets, but
these would certainly represent con-
siderably less than ! per cent of the
total by-product coking capacity of
the country that is not now equipped
with benzol-recovery plants, and the
by-prOduct coking plants now under
construction have either contracted for
benzol-recovery equipment or indicated
a strong probability that such provi.
sion will be made.-Metallurgic and

FIND VOLCANO In MINDANAO
Recent Eruption Was Apparent, Lieu
tenant Donnelly Says of the
Discovery.

Mndanao has n new-volcano, accord
Ing to the Mindanao Herald. Lieuten-
ant Donnelly, while on hike into the
Interior of Lanao province, discovered
an active volcano in the Piagayungan
range of mountains, which heretofore
was not known to exist. Lieutenant
Donnelly says of his discovery in the
following report:
June 8, 1916, the undersigned, In
command of n combined detachment
of the First Cotabato company, and
the First General Service company, on
reconnaissance patrol from Kapaad
northwest through the Plagayungan
mountain range, came in sight of an
active volcano which from all indica-
tions had recently erupted a discharge
of volcanic ash and either smoke or
flame.
Prom the fact that foliage in the
forest on the mountain sides three
miles to the southeast had been
scorched as though by flame, hot
smoke or toxic gas, and that ground
vegetation of scrub grass and weeds
had been partially destroyed, leaving
the stalks intact and the scorched
leaves retaining their form, it was
thought that the eruption had been
recent. At all events, so recent that
the wind had not blown away nor de-
stroyed the fragile remnants of the
burned foliage"
