No Coal Deposits In Conn, Says Dr.
 Ho1lister of Yale

New Haven, Aug. 3-There is no coal in Connecticut any if anyone has an idea that fuel can be mined within this state or would depend upon such a source to supply the furnace this coming winter, he will most likely freeze to death, unless he saws a little wood to keep warm.
 Prof. Henry Hollister Robinson, of Yale, who is superintendent of the Geological and Natural History Sur vey of Connecticut, was very much amused when told of recent statements that there were some unused coal de- posits within the state.
 Way back, over one hundred years ago, when many persons were SCOUT ing the state, so to speak, in search of coal and mineral deposits of all thing of economic value, they came across some deposits of black rock, or shale, which led to the belief that there might be coal in the state,'' said the professor. But though a great deal of money was spent, I believe, none was found. That was so long ago I cannot remembers the details and neither do I recall the facts. But I am certain that no coal was found and the hunt was given up and has not been renewed"
 Then you think there is no coal in the state that would be availabl.> for use?" the professor was asked.
 Y es, I would even go further thar that and say there is no coal in Con- necticut,' said the professor
 The two places which the professor recalled as the source of the b1ac%, shale, which caused the furry over a coal discovery mentioned were one just east of Lake SaltontalI in Bran ford and another near what is now the town of Durham.
 Prof. Robinson said that there were a number of peat beds in the state and that during the war the use of this material was talked of for use as a substitute for coal. But as he recollected. nothing ever came of it With coal available he said, peat as fuel would be of very little value. It's chief use had been for fertilizer and agricultural purposes. Whether it would be practical to attempt it's use as a substitute for coal in case of a coal famine, was a question, the professor thought.
