Only fourteen out of the hundred parts of carbon is actually utilized.

The process is to pulverize Rio coal. and. in converting it into gas, the coal is re duced to a powdered form so tinwthat it will float in the atmosphere, and it i« carried into the burning furnace bv ^ current of air artificially produc-ib/in' the powdered form everything i* con sumed, as it makss no smoke and leave* I *di no asbcai This would utiliae the ntouu- “ ,r tains of so-called waste, now piled np j u “ near coal mines and manufaetorie*.
