A New Fuel.

Because of the fuel' shortage that is facing the United States and Canada a new fuel is to be introduced known as “carbocoal.” A plant is. being erected in Virginia for the,protection of this substance which is a by-prod-uct. Its use has been tested by the United States navy and two railroads, which pronounce it a valuable smokeless fuel. By r new process bituminous coal is treated in such a manner as to recover greater quantities of such valuable by-products as tuloul, sulphate of ammonia afld valuable oils. From the residue is made the smokeless fuel “carbocoal” in the form of briquettes. ,
