Coal Spurred on by prospects of shutdowns during the winter because of the shortage of gas, manufacturers in the Pittsburgh district have been conducting' experiments with coal dust, which, they assert, prove that the dust can be substituted for gas. The process Is to blow the crushed coal into furnaces by means of compressed air. This fuel, although not as cheap as natural gas, la being furnished to manufacturing plants of the Pittsburgh district considerably cheaper than con- " sumers' gas. The Carnegie Steel company, realizing that there will be a shortage of natural gas for manufacturing this winter, has Installed fuel machinery at 24 of its 64 furnaces In the Homestead ivorks and for eight of its 15 furnaces at Clairton." By so doing the company will save 15,000,-00- 0 cubic feet of natural gas dally at its Homestead works and 6,000.000 ruble feet at its Clairton works, or a total of 21,000,000 cubic feet dally. pur-pon- coal-du- open-heart- st h open-henr- th Began as Schoolteacher. is not necessarily surprising, but of every given profession, former or present, schoolteachers predominate among the popular writers of today.
