The Stored-up Sunshine of Other Ages Is Handed
Down Heritage to Modern
Civilization
Civilization
(Toid in Eight Sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. vi
PREHISTORIC SUNSHINE

Coal may we'll be described as pre-
historic sunshine. Ages before the
dawn of our own era vast forests COW
cred large portions of the earth's sur
face. In this ancient vegetation were
stored up the treasures of nature and
after the lapse of ages it became the
heritage of civilization.
For centuries after it came into ne:
coal was looked. upon as valuable only
as fuel. Later coke was obtained from
it, then sulphur and lampblack, and
finally gas for purposes OF illumination.
That seemed to be the limit of its pos
sibilities few years ago but today it
would be difficult to enumerate all the
articles of commerce extracted from
its by-products.-
Coal contains little of everything
that goes to make up trees but it
would be mistake to imagine that
everything that comes out of.coa1 tar
is contained within it. While there are
only about dozen primary products
extracted from coal tar, from these the
chemist is able to develop hundreds Of
thousands of new substances. This is
synthetic chemistry or the process of
building up intricate compounds step
by step.
Raw material for the development Of
these coal tar by-products-war mate
rails, fertilizers celc--- -.-s-- "a :.
host of other things-exIsrs in abund-
ance in this country, but we must be
sufficiently interested in our future
