Goethe, the Great German Poet, Visits Saarbrucker

BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. III
THE PHILOSOPHER OF COAL

In l77l, there lived in the forest near
SaarbruclSen, in Germany, chemist
named Stauf He was an eccentric old
man who had an idea, FIR ahead Of hi
ltimes, that many things beside coke
Ncould be obtained in the combustion OF
|bituminous coal
atauf had constructed number OF
foyens over burning mine and treated
i coal SO that he obtained oil, pitch, coke
anI SCOT. That was quite a forward
step and although he lived in the
depths of forest the great minds of
Europe heard Of his work. In fact,
Goethe, himself made a pilgrimage to
|the ovens of the far-seeing chemist
and in his autobiography wrote a strik-
ling comment on his Wis to the Saar-
bruckcn forest.
Ready and glad to pour his com
plants into human ear. the lean
ldecrepit, little man, with shoe on
one loot and a slipper on the other,
and with stockings hanging down and
repeatedly pulled up in vain, dragged
khlmself up the mountain to where

expectations for the five months were
77.09S,600 barrels.
Reviewing the history of oil devel-
opment since 1901. when only 1886
barrels were produced, the official
figures indicate the industry had
jumped to more than 100000 barrels
in 1910, to over 25.000,000 in 1913; and
in excess Of 55.O0O.OO0 in 1917. In 1918
the total production was 63.S2S.000
