COAL MYSTERIES

Coal was made in a very differ.
ent world, from the one we know
AS a young world, it was fiat
marshy, and semf-tropical from pole
to pole. Heat and rain made vege-
tation vigorous. Ferns and rushes
grew like big trees. To-rential
floods followed by much erosion
buried the matted vegetation. At
times the sea added it's weight of
silt. The imprisoned rank growth
became first peat, then soft coal,
and later, anthracite. a. heat and
pressure increased. Graphite also
was made.
While buried thus, the warping

and again. The coal measures were
sandwiched between rock and shalc
left by the retreating flood and sea.
In Ohio there are probably a dozen
different seams OF coal, represent

We passed up the Susquehanna

England awakened to the value
of coal not later than $50 A. D.
Men had lived. toiled, fought and
died above the rich deposit, not re-
alizing it's worth What element
neglected, what forces unused, are
all about us today, which another
generation will prize as we do, this
source of power, heat, steam, and
electricity?
Coal miners today operate cleo
trio tools, and use compressed air
in drilling. They encounter fossil
trees, leaves, nuts, amid which the
coal was made. Marine shells and
fish fossils tell of ancient seas,
which engulfed primeval forests.
The richest of all countries in
coal is America, which has 519o of
the world supply. Pennsylvania
leads among the states, then Illi-
nois, Ohio, West Virginia. The
first settlers in Pennsylvania used
coal for fuel, but it was not until
railroads to New York and Phila-
delphia made it a valuable commod-
ity that it's value was realized. It
is estimated that there are 7,00O,-
600, 900 100000 tons of coal in the
world, but that at the present rate
of use, it will last only $50 years.
Delving into coal-mysteries, VIM.
Perkins, boy Of '18, found analine
dyes. AS lad, l visited Burling
ton, VT, to see the plant that made
Diamond Dyes. Now $4,000 tints
and shades are known. The veg
etable dye industry has ceased to
exist.
Hidden in the heart of coal are
all the perfumes OF the world.
Lilac, violet, rose, new-mown hay,
ylang-ylang, all are produced chem
icaa4y from coal. All favors, va
nilla, wintergreen, pear. pineapple,
saccharin-sweeter twenty times
than sugar-are all refined from
coal tar. Medicines for fever, head
ache, veronal for insomnia, healing
carbolic acid, aspirin, cocain and
novocaine for anesthetics are all de-
rived from coal. Sulfanilimide and
all the other sulfa drugs including
the most recent sulfaguanadine, are,
dyes made into medicine. 1t is be-
lieved that all bacterial diseases, in
cluding tuberculosis, will yield to
some form of coal tar.

Passing through Belle, w. Va, a
short distance from Charleston, we
saw one Of the numerous DUPONT
plants. where coal is taken from a
nearby hill, crowded into furnaces,
and comes out ammonia, urea, al
cohol, nitric acid. From these
products are made plastics. lacquers
and scores OF others, including a
substitute for silk, called nylon.
Nylon is made from coal, water,
