Goethe, the Great German Poet, Visits Saarbeucken
Forest and Discovers the
Philosopher of Coal
THE PHILOSOPHER OF COAL
'(ToId In Eight skstehes)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. III

In I'LL. there lived in the forest near
Saarbrucken in Germany, q chemist
named Stauf. He was An eccentric
old man who had an idea, far ahead
OF his times. that many things besides
coke could be obtained In the combus-
ton OF bituminous coal
Stauf had constructed . number OF
ovens over burning mine and treated
coal SO that he obtained oil, pitch,
coke and SCOT. That was quite . for
ward step and although he lived in
the depths OF . forest the great minds
OF Europe heard Of his work. In fact,
Goethe himself made q pilgrimage to
the ovens Of the far-seeing chemist and
in his autobiography wrote Q striking
comment. on his visit to the Saar-
brucken forest:
Ready and glad to pour his COM
plants into q human ear, the lean. de-
crepit. little man, with q shoe on one
foot and slipper on the othen and
with stockings hanging down anV re-
peatedly pulled up in vain, dragged
himself up the mountain to where the
pitch house stood which he had built
himself and saw with grief now falling
into ruins. Here was found . con-
nected row Of ovens in which coal was
to be freed from sulphur and made fit
for use in the iron works: but at the
same time they wished also to recover
want to lose the lamp black, SO that all
failed together on account Of the many
ends in view"
Goethe. who dubbed the chemist of
Saarbrucken "Kohlenphilosoph," or the
Philosopher Of Coal. wrote his COM
mentary less than a century and q half
ago. What would be his comment to-
