party for the nomination of United

Missouri now has n republican

EXPERTS STUDY COAL STORAGE.

coal from the bins is NEEDED, the water
must be partially drained off, the coal
hoisted and transported again to
the point of consumption. However, in
some cases, the cost of such storage is
regarded as well spent in that it pre-
vides insurance against suspension due
TO shortage of production, strikes or in
reference with distribution.
Recent Investigations by the bureau
Of mines reveal that the dangers OF
spontaneous combustion are not so great
as they have been considered in the
past. The most recent study, made by
o. P. Hood, chief mechanical engineer
of the bureau, shows that the combus-
ton is caused by the surface heating
of the coal. The contact between the
oxygen in the air and the inflammable
elements in the coal causes the heating
which increases to the point of combus-
ton. Mr.. Hood points out that the sur
face presented by a ton of coal is ire
mendous. Each lump presents a sur
face and so does each powdered grain.
The normal coal pile is not so tightly
packed as to prevent the passage of
the oxygen-bearing air through inter-
stices to practically every particle of
the coal
One Surface Acre per Ton
When all these minute surfaces ex-
posed to the air are added by Mr.. Hood
he gets the astounding total of ap-
!proximately one acre of surface to every
ton of coal.
Two remedies for this are suggested
ibv Mr.. Hood. First, store only large
Jumps of coal. In the lump, the coal is
naturally packed so densely that the air
does not pesetrate. Jumps of nut size
and under are those giving the greatest
air surface per ton. He suggests that by
more careful handling. coal can be
brought up and stored in large blocks.
A second suggestion is that coal be
artificially compressed. Coal dust is
pressed into coal briguets as a com
mercial proposition now. for the pur-
lpose of making it easier to handle. Com
preston on a larger scale and into
large blocks is suggested to prevent
deterioration due to exposure to the air
and to prevent spontaneous combus-
ton. Fine coal or coal dust can be com
pressed so that a ton can be put in the
form Of a block a little less than a
cubic yard in size.

place will deteriorate and ignite more
quickly than coal stored in a cool place
This suggests the possibility of cold
storage of coal.
Mr.. Wood also has found that foreign
matter in coal. such as sulphur. vii
hasten its spontaneous ignition. BY
screening and careful cleaning of Goa
intended to be stored. this could be
eliminated. His Investigations according

methods and ARE can make the storage
of coal on a large scale a feasible en-
