SUPER FUEL IS
OBJECT Of
TESTS
Experiment With Soft Coal
May RevoIutionize
Industry

CLEARFIELD, Pa. Oct. 80.
Production Of super fuel''-an
almost 100 per cent perfect burning
substance-from bituminous coal,
which will save millions Of dollars
| In freight alone, and which may
revoIutionize the soft coal Industry
Of the United States. Is the object
Of a 100000 experiment that is
being made here.
Every producer in the soft coal
fields Of western Pennsylvania--the
! largest in the worlds watching
! with keen interets the outcome of
! the attempt to produce a little ball
of perfect carbon--a literal B. T. w.
bullet.
The method of making this super
| fuel is unique hut simple, and was
discovered by Walter Trent, an emf.
1 nent engineer, who holds patents on
the process.
The soft coal is first crushed so

substance is mixed with water. This

/ other impurities The wet mixture

called the amalgam tank, where Is
4 per cent by weight OF oil is added.
This oil is, IA gravity fuel Gil.

ton Of carbon particles, centrifu-
gal force and Oil forms small

to a good sized walnut; a super
4 fuel" having a B. T. u. content of
between $4,000 and 10000, free
/ from impurities and ash, and a
! product which the owners OF the
process say is equal to anthracite,
but which can be produced much
cheaper.
The 100000 plant that is being
built by the Pittsburgh Trent Com.
pany at Bishton. near here, will
have a capacity of 500 tons daily.
The biggest saving, fuel engineers
point out, will be in the Freight
rates. For years the economic
waste in shipping coal long dis.
tances, with its high content Of ash
and impurities has been the subject
OF discussion among operators. If
the refining process can be done
before the coal is sent to markets
the saving will run into millions OF
dollars, 1t is contended.
The Trent concern claims to have
perfected process by which the
oil can be extracted from the
bullets" in the form Of crude ben.
zol, but this is entirely different
proposition and will not be i'm.
mediately installed.
Although the Bishton plant Is an
experiment In Pennsylvania, there
are plants successfully operating. at
Trenton, NJ j., and Toledo, Ohio,
and 1,000-ton.capacity plant Is
being constructed at Moundsville.

projscted for Savannah, Ga.

Man and Wife Were Long
Successful IN Dodging

TOKYO. Oct. sO.The kidnapping
business is profitable one in
Japan. For the most part they
keep one guess ahead Of the nimble.
besworded Japanese gendarme for
only month or two. and then
they are given a long stretch Of UNI
occupied time behind rusty gratings
to ponder over their one had guess.
One man, however, who was as.
sisted by his wife, succeeded in
doging the police long enough TO
kidnap n women and girls in a
country district not far from the
capital. Their practice was to en-
tice their victims into moving pic
ture theaters, drop a little powder
in the tea which is served between
reels, and sell the unconscious. per-
son to restaurant and tea house
keepers.
They guessed that they would
take a chance on the credentials
OF the stranger who said he was a

to buy their seventy eighth victim
