GASOLINE FROM LIGNITE IS DEMONSTRATED

There be no doubt about the complete success of the Burgus process for the extraction of gasoline dse engine dstlate fuel oil ubercatng o and other derva tives from Ignite coal.
 Latest advices from Berlin published in the techn- cal papers, and commented in the dispatches say that the two big plants recently completed in Germany are in successful and daily operation, turning out many thousands of barrels per day
 Some skeptcs had predicted that a vast difference would be encountered between the laboratory tests and demonstrations and commercial production large scale Such skeptics have been senced by the results The commercial productions have failed to disclose sin gle flaw in the laboratory demonstrations The discover ies made along these lines by Dr. Burgius the German chemical wizard the wonder of the coal and gasoline world Each ton of Ignite yields barrel of gasoline barrel of fuel oi barrel of distlate, and 15 quarts of lubricating oil
 German Ignite from which gasoline and other pro- ducts being extracted large scale is almost identical in chemical composition with the Alaska gnite and the Ignite deposits tributary to the Alaska Railroad the largest in tonnage content known in the world
 The day will come with certainty when Ignite deposits in Alaska will be of the principal of supply in the world for gasoline, engine dstiate fuel oi lubricating oil, and other by-products.

RADIO TO BE USED
 FOR SHIPS SAFETY
Sound Device May Prevent
 Crashes in Future

Washington, May 1i.--Repetition of the recent disaster in which the submarine S-4 was rammed by d coast guard cutter will not occur if the submarine distance and depth- finding equipment now being in- stalled on ice patrol vessels is eftectual and warrants universal adoption.
 The Modoc and Mojave, when al ternately going on duty in the 1928 International Ice Patrol. will be provided with q combination of ra- dlo and sound apparatus which will enable these cutters to determine the location and distance of other ships and submarines similarly equipped.
 The radio-acoustic method Of position finding, first introduced in surveying operations by the l.. s. Coast and Geodetic Survey, capi- tallzes the difference in speeds of radio and sound waves. Radio signals speed 1S6, ,o0o miles a second, where as the velocity Of sound waves through water Is only 4S00 feet a second. Therefore, if light vessel is transmitting dual waves-both ra- dio and simultaneously a boat equipped with instruments for intercepting these waves can com- putc its distance from their source l y,N= >,,,,r l. i. tween the receipt Of the radio signal

In Use of Coast

The Nantuckct lightship. off the coast Of Massachusetts, is provided with equipment for the simultaneous transmission of radio and sound waves.
 The operator on board a vessel off this coast adjusts his apparatus 10 Siv" the best reception and, using a stop watch, starts the watch upon hearing he first radio dash immedi- atelE after the silent period and stops the watch upon hearing the signal of the osclIator.
 Tho sound Of the oscillator travels at Na speed Of approximately eight tonths of knot second, while the speed of the radio signal is practi- callv instantaneous If the stop watch shows. for example, that eight sec onds of 1inT have elapsed between in" receipt Of th" radio signal and the receipt of tho sound wave, the operator merely has to multiply S Of a kno' by seconds. thus obtain- ing 6,4 miles as the distance between tn" light Nessol and the observing SI ii n,- ,,j,
New Britain herald., 1928-05-11
Can Also Tell Position

Y the observing vessel Is equipped 10 take radio bearings, it is possible 10 take q bearing Of the light vessel so that durlng foggy weather, by the Use Of these two aids, an accurate position IS obtained and it Is un- necessary to find the distance from the light vessel.
 In recognition Of the usefulness Of this apparatus 10 marine avi-gation, the coast guard anticipates that sev- eral other stationary light vessels and Lighthouses will be similarly equipped. A chain of these radio acoustic stations would serve the purpose Of the present elaborate naval radio shore stations. without the cumbersomenoss which the lat ter system involves, in ships taking cross bearings from several shore radio stations.
