craft and labor are equally interested and
enthused by the discovery of the process
of producing synthetic coal. Prueckner's
discovery promises to be of far greater
benefit than even the discovery OF great
gold deposits could be.
Germany has lost its richest coal mines
in Upper Silesia to Poland. 1t Is consid-
cred probable that the French will keep
the Sarre Valley, and are eagerly looking
for any opportunity to occupy and retain
the Ruhr district, containing the most inn
portant coal mines OF Continental Europe
and the only rich anthracite territory still
under German control. Germany's water
power resources are relatively small; IL
fully developed they will not yield more
than 100000 horsepower OF white COAL"
since the French, in the Versailles Treaty.
secured the exclusive right to develop the
Rhine between Basel and Lauterburg. and
the other big rivers, with the exception Of
the Weser, have been internationalized.
So 1t seems that Germany's very exist
ence was placed in jeopardy, the more so
as the peace treaty prevents her from
entering into commercial treaties, except
on minor subjects.
Nineteenth and twentieth century civiliz-
alton Is largely based on the use of me-
chanical power for the purpose OF produc-
tion. The mutual relations OF mechanical
power and civilization have never been
driven home to the public at large as they
have been brought to universal attention
by the world wide coal shortage during the
war.
Though the Berlin Patent Office has not
yet rendered decision OF Prueckner's ap-
plication for patent on his synthetic coal
process the fact that Prueckner produced
synthetic coal that in every respect is the
equal OF anthracite has been established
beyond any doubt by number of official
practical tests.
One OF the tests was made to ascertain
the heating power of each of the two kinds
The New York herald., 1922-03-12

of fuel The synthetic coal burned with
out smell and with an insignificant vol
ume of smoke and produced 1895 heat
units per 100 kilogrammes, 220 pounds,
while anthracite coal has heating power
of from 1000 to 5000 heat units per 100
kilogrammes and emits many times more
smoke, causing the we'll known odor. That
means that synthetic coal, IL used to pro-
duce directly heat or steam at least equals
high grade anthracite.
Still more favorable was the gas test.
One hundred kilogrammes of anthracite
were placed in one retort and the same
quantity Of synthetic coal in another.
Both retorts we're subjected to the same
heat, and their contents converted into gas
and coke.
The gas obtained from the synthetic coal
yielded more heat units per second while
il lasted and 1t lasted longer than the an
thracite. The coke of both kinds of coal
equaled in weight and heating power.
That result is of special Importance be-
cause Germany is consistently striving to
restrict consumption of coal to factories
and gas works, and has made already much
progress in that direction.
The heat from burning coal is to be
utilized to make steam to drive stationary
engines. But thereby not more than Is
per cent OF the inherent power of coal can
be utilized. Not to waste the remaining
power, the fires beneath the boilers will be
connected with gas generating plants, the
illuminating gas yielding about twice as
much heat or power as the direct burning
of coal.
The chief by.product OF that process is
coke to be burned on board OF ships and
in households. which may also use either
Illuminating gas or hydrogen gas for heat
ing purposes The hydrogen gas is pro-
duced by pouring water on live coke. Small
and medium industrial establishments will
by and by have to install gas motors and
use Illuminating or hydrogen gas. DR..

A LCHEMY, the crude chemistry that
~ sought the transmutation of base
metals into gold, has not been ac-
omplished-despite the recent declaration
to the effect that German science had
achieved synthetic gold equal in quality
to the most precious metal mined. Unfor-
tunately for Germany, perhaps but for
tunately for the other countries of the
world that statement was based upon
misunderstanding. 1t Is not synthetic gold
which has been made by German scientists;
it is synthetic coal, "black gold," and that
is vastly more important.
A druggist in Munich-Prueckner, his
name-has actually managed to produce a
high grade anthracite from stone quarries.
1t is quite true that such a transmutation
has not interested the scientists of all the
ages and is not as engaging to the minds
of modern scientists as elusive alchemy
has interested them, but the discovery OF
a method of producing coal without mines
is really much more pertinent just now.
and to Germany the end Is the same-and
better.
II II had been true that Germany had
found way to make gold from tinfoil or
pewter then it Is likely the new and chaotic
republic would have started forthwith
down the path OF industrial decay, and
the German people would have begun train
ing to be "Lotos Eaters" indeed. But
coal!-well, coal Is a different influence.
1t is the life giver to German industry.
II will set the wheels of industry alive,
and more than the scientists will be held In
the thrall of coal. To the new industrial
Germany coal and iron and steel are the
masters Of all men, And coal is the master
OF iron and steel.
Consequently. science, economics, state
The New York herald., 1922-03-12

Walther Rathenau, former president of the
Allgemeine Elektricitaets- G Gesellschaft (Gen-
eral Electric Company, estimated that by
these improvements coal consumption can
be reduced by so per cent.
The process of production of synthetic
coal Is simple, according to Prueckner, who
operates near Munich a small plant.
Prueckner said:
Factories will be erected in the vicinity
of quarries Two different kinds of soft
stones are crushed and ground into fine
sand and mixed with certain chemicals.
The mixture will be moistened, pressed
into briquets, heated, dried and cooled
"The synthetic coal industry will not
depend on anthracite or btuminous or sub
bituminous coal or peat, or their by-prod.
ucts, or on any other material Used as fuel.
Germany, like nearly every bther coun-
try, has superabundance of the necessary
minerals and can produce the chemicals in
unlimited quantities.
"As produced in the little plant near
Munich, synthetic coal can be sold to the
consumer at half the price of anthracite.
1t is certain that the cost OF the product
will be reduced when manufacture on
large scale is begun"
The formula is Of course kept secret at
the present time, and probably will not be
disclosed when patent Is granted. For
OF all the victors OF the world war, only
three-England, Belgium and Italy--have
renounced up to now their Versailles
Treaty privilege to subject the property,
rights and interests OF German nationals
to exceptional war measures that have
been or will be taken with regard to them"
lin other words, to seize German property,
including patents.
For that reason there is no prospect that
synthetic coal will be produced outside of
Germany until non-German makes an in
vention similar or identical with that Of
Prueckner, the Munich druggist.

ated line of stage coaches to Westchester
and New Jersey. In'1S64, Samuel N. Pike
of Cincinnati bought the lease and acquired
the fee. He put up the present building
and called it Pixies Opera House. Mr..
Pixies daughter is still living in New York.
James Fisk and Jay Gould purchased the
house after 1t had been open less than a
year. Gould almost at once retired from
any active management and Fisk renamed
the house and started in to carry out his
ambition to make it world famous for
opera, ballet and spectacle. In its strange
history before T. Henry French became the
lessee, two productions indicative of
were "The Tempest" and "The Twelve
Temptations OF the latter, legend re-

were to be had from the famous BLACK

innocuous.
Gould and Fisk Hid
In opera House IN PanIc
Unfortunately for the success of these
first efforts, there existed prejudice in
those stirring days following the civil war
against men who mixed up in their busi-
ness affairs grand opera and corners in the
gold market. Jay Gould, perhaps realized
this feeling and promptly withdrew the
use Of his name, but James Fisk went
ahead boldly doing just what he liked.
Matters reached climax in the fall of
1869, when the manipulation of these two
daring spectators in their attempt to cor
ner the market eliminated in the panic
known as "Black Friday" on September "a,
of that year. The feeling against Gould
and Fisk rose SO high that their lives were
in danger. They took refuge from the mob
in the Grand Opera House, where they lay
in hiding for several days.
Jay Gould purchased the property after
Fisk's death, and under new managers the
policy of the house changed from opera to
drama. Among the successive managers
were Henry E. Abbey, Poole and Donnelly,
and Augustin DAILY. The conjunction of
