Show raiDAT, Will HIS OF noil DMHM COKB PROCESS STUDV IS HADE BY Tha Sun Special Service. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 5 Experimental work on a laboratory auale on the desulphurization of coke by steam, conducted by the department of the interior and the Carnegie Institute of Technology at the Pittsburgh, Pa., experiment station of the bureau of mines, haa demonstrated that the steaming process effects a greater sulphur removal than is possible with others. The economic importance of the results of these experiments is that they point the way to future utilization of enormous reserves of high in sulphur coals not now suitable for eoknuking.At the present time only low sulphur ones are used for this purpose. In a report giving the results of these experiments, made by Alfred R Powell, associate chemist of the bureau of mines, and John IL Thomp-osresearch fellow, Carnegie Institute of Technology, it is pointed out that aulphur in metallurgical coke gives rise to many problems and difficulties in furnace operations. Over per cent of sulphur is likely to I reduce an inferior grade of iron. Sulphur will, in addition to causing trouble in the furnace, make it difficult, if not impossible, to work the iron. Any process for removing this deleterious substance from tha coke is therefore of value to both the manufacturer and consumer if the eoet is not prohibitive. The average annual coke production of the United States during the last ten years has been 45,404,000 tons. Approximately 6Q per cent of this has been used in metalluigieal industries, chiefly iron and steel, while the remainder was eons umed for domestic or gasmaking purposes. The coal used in producing this quantity represents annually approximately 15 per cent of the total of bituminous mined in the United States. Small Saving VitaL in the production of saving Any coke, even though it be relatively mall or any improvement made in the finished product, will amount. to large sums. Tha removal of part even a small part of the aulphur from the eoke offers such an improvement. In addition to solving one of the principal problems of the steel iadnstiy, this removal would create a maeh greater coal supply from which tha eoke producer would draw his raw material Many of the coals of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky are so high in sulphur that their as for the manufacture of metallurgical auks is prohibitive, without preliminary treatment by the present irr"" of coal cleaning, seal washing, which is not always an effective remedy.

Many processes have been tried for the removal of sulphur from coke, including steam, but most of them have not met with any degree of sucres. The investigators at the bureau of mines laboratories found- that between 10 and 15 per cent of the total sulphur in the coke is removed by simple steaming at 750 degrees C. With alternate vacuum and pressure treatment the desulphurization is increased to 20 to 25 per cent. Furthermore, it is believed that the steaming is much more beneficial than the actual sulphur reduction indicates, since the nulphur removal is almost entirely taken from the surface of the coke, and this surface sulphur may be the part that is easily absorbed by the iron in the blast furnace. The recent rapid growth of the byproduct coking industry serves to simplify the matter of a cheap steam supply. Large quantities of heat are now allowed to go to waste, but this could be well utilised in the generation of steam. Thus the process of steam coke could be made comparatively inexpensive. The investigators point out that so lung as the supply of low in sulphur coals i available the e teaming of coke could not be termed on industrially feasible process. However, when it becomes necessary to resort to the use of higher sulphur coals for the manufacture of coke, the improvement through steaming may le nf sufficient value to warrant the expense of the proccess. Of the many processes thus far tried steaming recalls in the great ust removal, and offers the liest possibilities for adaption to the coke industry. the results of this investigation are embodied in Ibillctin No. 7 of the Coni Mining Investigations Series which may la obtained from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Titta-burPa., at a price of thirty cents. g, MARCH u OF it can beat MEDALS FOE FIVE MIXERS WHO DISPLAYED BRAVERY WASHINGTON, D. C, March 8. Hero medals and diplomas have been recommended by the Joseph Adams Safety association for five miners whose acts in the relief of their comrades stood out most prominently in last years mine disasters. One of the awanls, which are bestowed annually by the association, will be made posthumously. The miners and the deeds for which they are eited follow: Mike Pavlimn and Clifford Phillips of Frontier, Wyo., who by prompt and courageous action were responsible for earing the lives of twenty-on- e fellow workers after an explosion in the Frontier No. 1 mine of the Kemmerer Coal company Kemmerer, Wyo., on August 14, 1923, which resulted in the death of ninety-nimen. Eben W. Jones, Peckville, Pa., who saved six lives on the occasion of a roof collapse in the Mt. Jessup Coal eompany. Ltd., property at Peckville, Pa., on December 8th, and sacrificed hia own life in attempting to reaeue four others. Isaac Cotton of Jacksonville, Ind., who rushed into a cloud of smoke caused by a powder explosion in the mine of the Merchants Heat and Light eompany, Jacksonville, on April 18th and earned two men their clothes aflame to the eurface. The two, who were brothers, died from their injuries. Louis Pahule, Leadville, Colo., for rescuing two men from the Yak mine of Leadville, who had been experimenting with explosives and were overcome by gas in a drift. Pahule, faced with the ehanee of plaeed charges exploding, earned the men to safety. The medals and diplomas will be presented st the seventh international first aid and mine rescue contest st Huntington, W.

Burstall, dean of the faculty of science at Birmingham University, in an interview here yesterday disclosed visions of the earth circled with towers, stored with the concentrated energy of the air and sun forming powerhouses to run the affairs of the future world. In the time to come, say two 'hundred years hence, life on this planet will of necessity become very much simplified, said BurstalL The eoal, oil and ores which are the foundation of pur present civilization will not last indefinitely. Mankind will be driven to other resources, ne will turn back to the tropics, where life can be easily maintained end northern latitudes will only be revisited in the summer season to get ores to smelt for engineering purposes. Alcohol will be the motive power in that age of science. Then Professor Burstall drew a vivid picture of equatorial towers soaring to the skies, extracting carbon dioxide from the air, subjecting it to catalytic processes and finally uniting it with water vapor and forming alcohol to be drawn off at the bottom of the towers like tapping a tank of gasoline. You must understand," he said that life will not be encumbered with all the absurd contrivances which are necessary to our present state. When a man gels up two hundred years hence he will choose a particular flying suit to wear, according to bis plans for the day. Then lie will only have to nour in the alcohol and fly away. With everybody living near the equator very little clothea will be required. All the needful food will be easily raised by mechanical cultivation. Housing will be simplified. There will lie no problcma of the open grate or central heating, for, of course, everything will be communal in that day. these prices The finest of cars can be sold THE What is a fine carl Luxury and beauty It means a car to be proud known to be best for its purpose.
