WESTERN COAL TO BE
SUBJECTED TO TESTS
Government to Experiment
With By Product
Coke Ovens
/WASHINGTON. Oct 19.— 1t is the be
lief of government scientists that many
cities of the United States will get
their supply of lluminating gas and
perhaps power in the near future from
by-product coke ovens erected in the
vicinity of these cities. Coke Is an
excellent fuel for both domestic and
industrial use and coke oven gas is
well adapted for th 4 production of
power in gas engines. In addition it
is thought that ammonia and tar of
sufficient value to be items of com
mercial importance will be obtained
from the same source.
The experts of the technologic branch
of the United States geological sur
vey, who are engaged in experiments
•'\u25a0•king to conserve the fuel resources^
»jf the country, will soon begin a series
cf important tests at the chemical lab
oratory of the fuel testing division at
Plttfeburg upon the by-products de
rived from cooking coals. This work
is .to be done in co-operation with
the Denver fuel testing plant of the
survey, which is now endeavoring to
determine methods of improving the
quality of the coke made from west
ern coal.
It is contemplated that, at such time
£f funds may permit, standard by
product coke ovens may be erected
upon which to^make an elaborate series
of tests showing how to manipulate
the coals of the western states In such
\u25a0manner as to procure not only the best
product of coke, but the most valuable
results in by-products. The laboratorj'
At. JPittsburg is under the. general su
pervision of Dr. N. W. Lord of Co'lum
l»»s-. Ohio, with Dr. Horace. C. Porter.
<riemist, in direct charge of inveEtisa
tron work. :V .*-\u25a0.•_'
' Until we are able to erect these
by-product coke ovens." said Dr. Tor
t»r, "our work will consist of labora
tory experiments, Buch as distillations
of coal in an Iron retort and other tests
that will give a fairly general survey
of the by-product coking possibilities
«f the western coals. We also hope
that Information will be - derived from
laboratory Investigations, which will
«how how these coals may be handled
\u2666•<* as to procure an increased output
Jti-ihe most valuable portion of the by
products, which -at present, because of
sts- relative -market value. Is ammonia.
The three essential by-products of dis
tillation of coal which may be sepa
rated In a by-product coke oven are
tar, ammonia and gae.
."It Is highly probable that by-prod
uct coke ovens such as have been
erected In the neighborhood of Boston,
Philadelphia, Detroit and Milwaukee
way in a few years be erected In the
vicinity of many other cities that are
adjacent either to the coal fields or to
the metallurgical centers, and that,be
sides producing coke.' they, will 'give off
a sufficient amount of illuminating gai
«f high quality to supply the citfes and '
in addition supply ammonia and'tarfori
the
•This : may \u25a0 mean- much to these
cities In the way of. economy. It will
certainly aid in conserving the fuel sup
ply. At the present time there Is a
kttemen<3ous'lossk ttemen<3ous'loss of valuable by-products
from -the >bee- hive coke ovens,' a loss
which might be turned into light, heat
and power. The coke produced by these
fcy-produets . ovens is of a high quality
end is excellent for metallurgical pur
poses. The 1 illuminating •\u25a0 gas . given > off
by _ these ovens is extremely valuable,
as it has many more heating, units, a
cubic foot than producer gas and -• is
therefore a. much more valuable power.
"There Is a good demand for ammonia
a.t present, but not much for tar. We
ir-tendto experiment with" the tar with'
c. .view to : the production of -benzol,
which is a good substitute for gasoline
and of other valuable products. Methods
ir.ay be elaborated of further. enriching
the illuminating' gas by the aid of tar."
Altogether these experiments will -be]
ot unusual "iotereet and Importance to
the manufacturers of the country and
alto to the many municipalities that are
near the coal* fields. The fuel testing
i experiments -which are being 1 made at
• Pittsburgh Denver, \u25a0" Colorado, and Xor
i folk, Va., are under ,the direction of
Joteph'A. Holmes,' chief of the;techno-.
logic branch of the survey, and H. M.
Wilson, chief 'engineer. :

BEET SUGAR IS GOOD
AS CANE SAYS SAVANT
Professor Shaw; Compares
Both Varieties in Lab
/ '
BEJRKEL.ET,- Oct.: 19.— Disputes on
the question as to whether sugar, from
cane or. from the 1 beef was the superior
will .now be settled authoritatively, fpr
George W. Shaw, professor of agricul
tural .technology <. of . the state uni
versity, has-' issded a bulletin in
which he declares- that beet sugar is
not one*; whit- Inferior to that made
from the cane. -Shaw abases his state
ment on' a long series v of
at the state university.
\u25a0 Concerning, the. controversy .about
the.re,lative merits of the two kinds of
sugar, Shaw says: ••
. The relative, merits of- STigar from bcejtssnd
: that, from . cane : haTe. been, a mooted qnestlon
' erer since beet sugar hag become such an Im
portant factor in the sugar market. • The friends
of irogar from cane «rly In the days of the
be«t sugar industry maintained that beet sugar
was repulsive. HI flavored, ill looking and en
tirely inferior to pan? sugar.* As soon ,as: it
was found that- sngar, white" and' part* -trom
« technical standpoint, could be made !n. the
beet .sugar, factory directly ; f roa b*ets, end
tbat this sugar would analyze as close to UK)
per cent as tbe product from : cane, th« friends i
I of th* latter advanced other argnments. espe
cially to the effect thut- be«t. sugar could, not.
be .used for various purposes for which \ the
older cane ; product bed long been, employed.
Even : today tbe que»tion is often • under "dis
cussion. On account 'of \tbis. 1 and the .numerous
statements made In public meetings and -in -tbe
columns of certain newspapers that beet su?ar
cannot be safely used for fruit- preserving, and
canning, and that this Weals quite prevalent
among, house keepers, cannerymen \u25a0 nnd confec
tioners, certain experiments were undertaken in I
the canning of fruit and the makinp of Jellies,
using 'beet Kiicar and " checklnE " tbe results
ncalnst the «ame- fruits ; propared in the same
manner \u25a0 with cane sugar. ' - \u25a0\u25a0-.•• r . : -
The manufacture of : beet' sugar, /the,
savant declares, is -beyond the experi
mental stage, and it. let because of the
wonderful growth. of the industry that
he, calls attention to the popular fal
lacy that cane sugar is . the superior.
Of this, he' says: - ; .
The utfer folly of thi» idea that beet ' sucar
can not be ui«»ti for cannlns purposfs is fur
ther, emphasized by tbe fact; tbat practJrally all
the sugar used la Germany and France for" can
ning and preserving Js. from the. beet. and. for
many years American ' refined beet sugar whs
used without- complaint In this country, because
the maM of the people were not; aware that it
was derived from the -beet. This sugar n-as
brought here .«i< rnw, sugar from Europe, - reSnod
at American reflnc-riPß.'ani consaniers •, purchased
it under .the falff jdea that It was cane sugar
But as the industry- -began to grow rapidly- in
the United States attention -was directed to the
source of uugar.. an<] there has arisen this popu
lar, error, "which may hnve been somewhat fos
tered by interested parties. Teople have become
so accustomed to the term "cane sugar" • that
they,. do not -realize •; that within the .last few
years the bulk of the world's sugar supply has
shifted from cane' to beet. In" 1853 the world's
sugar supply was 1.184.000 long tons, "of which
304,000 tons -were accredited to' tile sugar fcwt
or about 21 per cent... In, 1905 pra<.-tloally TW'o
thlrds. of the world's sugar was ; derived ' -from'
the sugar-beet.-- . -v: .-!..-•• ..
The . srowth of the industry in \u25a0 the United
States. has been second only. to its grdwth In the
sugar world, j As an American Industry it is less
than '4ft years old. for-it was In 18C9 that the
first plant -to manufacture <\u25a0 beet sugar sucoesij
fully in -a. commercial war was, erected in Cali
fornia. \u25a0 For the first • 20 ' years the industry
grew. but slowly, so. that ,ln 1890 there were but
three factories. Before tbe close of 10ni..how
exer. the number .had increased to :30" (Increase
of- 900 per cent -.in 10 y»ani).'. while in: 1906 the
number of factories in operation In" tti« United

tbe : '«up'erviaor6 since the destructiqn
of the courthouse last year are in
adequate and there Is no protection
against the cold or heat. During tho
?ainy season the rooms are not on!*
uncomfortable but actually dangerous
to the health of ofacials, employes and
those in attendance at the sessions.
The plan is to secure quarters In
some of the newly erected buildings
around the plaza for use during tji«
next. year, pending? the completion of
the new $35,000 courthouse, which is
now under construction, but will not
be ready for occupancy for a year or
more.
