WASHINGTON, Nov. 11th—That
“coal” is being manufactured from
waste muterluls of paper factories in
Norway and that a corporation has
already been formed in that country
to exploit the new industry, is the
burden of a report to the state de
partment from Consul General Den
nison. Christiania Department offic
ials see in the discovery of the process
a promise of an excellent subsMtnte
for coal as a fuel product. Officials
art discussing whether such a project
could not be undertaken successfu'ly
in the United States particularly in
the paper producing localities and are
pointing out that if this is done It
might provide some relief from tlie
threatened coal famine and prove of
value to paper manufacturers.
R. V. Strelencrt a Gothenberg en
gineer is the inventor of the coal sub
stltute which is produced in a powder
! ed form from suphile lye according to
Consul Dennison.
"It is stated that this process" *he
report says, "produces a coal powder
almost equal in calorific value to first
class coal—namely C900 calories
against 7000 in the case of the bpst
1 dnglish coal. The process has been
tested and proved to the satisfaction
of Norwegian interests. A company,
under the title of the Sulphite Coal,
: Ltd., has been formed with a m>ni
' mum capital of $428,000 to exploit it.
"It is estimated that if the coal pow
der is made of all the sulphite lye
refuse of Norway 30 per cent of the
import coal will be replaced.
"According to Dr. Strelcnort's
method, the lye will be mixed with
some foreign material after the boil •
tng of the sulphite and then it will be
transferred to a large kiln, where it is
boi’ed again under high pressure.
Under the process the lye Is change 1
anj the substance which has been
converted Into ‘coal’ sinks to the bit •
tom and Is then taken out In the form
of a thick black paste. Tha wal i
wl ich remains in the pa3te is tbrn
in nil probability be made Into br'-k
queues and used in the same lianer
a» ci al.
•'ll may seen strange that >;0>il can
be produced f on. lye but Ills fo.Sew
ing will explali the reason.
“t'ndi'i 'he -ulphlte process only 15
per cent of the weight of the timber is
utilized. The remainder falls as re
fuse into the lye nnd It transforms in
to coal.”

WASHINGTON,—The Swiss gov

army at full fighting strength has rai
led for the expenditure of $79,371,245.
and the sum of $30,721, 535 has been
distributed In relief for the needy, the
report states.
Long-term loans for $83, 916.400
have been placed In Switzerland and
tho United States to cover these out
lays, but a deficit remains, and this
is now engrossing the minds of Swit
zerland's financial advtBers. A bill
now before the Swiss Congress pro
vides a heavy tax on tobacco, beer, :ina
all alcoholic beverages, und a stamp
tax on checks, receipts, and pupers of
value, besides an Increase of the war

copies cost $23,000, with a prospectl\

The “Book of Estimates” of the pre
sect fiscal year is probably the larges
single volume ever Issued by the gov
eminent. It contains estimates which
are required by law to be made bj
officials of the government for the ser
vice of the next fiscal year after Its
issuance. It embraces among Its items
the 3alary of the president and the
price of a lead pencil.
The law requires the information t
be furnished to the secretary of thi
reasury by all other government of
ciuls, and then directs him to trans
111 it to Congress at the beginning of
ich session for Its information. It
axes Uncle Sam into the thousands
.nnually for the printing of thl3 vol
• uie which last year embraces 1,340
ages of small type.
The document is a quarto volume
f principally tabular matter which,
inder printers rules, requires double
.rice for composition and accounts in
reat measure for the large amount
xpended on the publication. It is a
vork that requires hustling on the
! .art of government officials and the
: .ubllc printer to have It Issue in time
or the meeting of Congress. Prompt
y however, at the stroke of twelve on
he day on the meeting of Congress
he “Book of Estimates" lies on the
esks of those entitled to receive it.
DO IT TODAY
There is Only

left to the meeting of Jan. 2nd.
When at this meeting the special terms now offer

Should you have failed to enlist under the protective wings
of tha Eagle the organization has lost your co-operation and you will
1 undoubtly reflect with regret the lost opportunity to be away from
