The Stored-up Sunshine of Other Ages Is Handed
Down Heritage to Modern

PREHISTORIC SUNSHINE

Coal may well 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 1t became the
heritage Of civilization.
For centuries after 1t came into use
coal was looked upon as valuable only
as fuel. Later coke was obtained from
It, then sulphur and lamphlack, and
finally gas for purposes OF illumination.
That seemed to be the limit of its pos
) sibilities a few years ago but today ii
would be difficult to enumerate all the
: articles Of commerce extracted from
it's by-products.
Coal contains little Of everything
that goes to make up trees. but 1t
Z would be O mistake to imagine that
everything that comes out Of coal 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 -products-war mate
rials, fertilizers, colors, drugs and a
host Of other things-exists in abund-
ence in this country but we must

TWO PLATOON AGAIN
Battle viii Be Waged Again, Sixth
Ward Alderman and First Ward
Councilman Promise.

The fight for the adoption OF two
platoon plan for the fire department
which was waged in the council for
the past year will be renewed, pos
sibly at the December session of that
body, by Alderman Angelo NJ. Pao-
nessa, Councilman Henry Rice and
others.
After much debate the council
voted last spring to send an item to
the city meeting calling for an appro-
priation of $50, 600 for a two platoon
plan. The item went through the city
meeting. Later the matter came be-
fore the council and after consider
able wrangling, that body voted to
postpone the plan.
Since the several city commissions
will begin at once to prepare esti-
mates of expense for the board of
finance and taxation, an early express
sion Of sentiment Is desired.

New wonders are constantly being
discovered IN coal tar. Recently a
French scientist succeeded in produc-
ing several small but perfect da-
monde and synthetic rubies have been
on the market for some time. In
stead of sending traders on periloust
quests to the four corners of the
world for needed things a man may
now stay at home and trust to the
chemists to produce every necessity
and most of the luxuries. No longer
need we be dependent upon the potash
deposits OF Germany If We make our
own fertilizers. Far off rubber trees
are not so important If we manufac-
ture our own rubber In the laboratory.
Brigadier General Amos A. Fries,
Chief of the Chemical - rfare Ser
vice. U. S. A, in a recent paper said:
What thrill 1t must have given

the almost limitless power the control
of the dye industry would give him /
when waging war. He felt that with |
that control he could win a war against -,

they who know just how close Ger !
many came to winning that war. The !
lesson which that bit Of history teaches I
