New Smokeless Fuel.

Coalite, a new British smokeless fuel, is claimed to be a natural briquet generating as much heat per unit as coal. By a process of low temperature carbonization, a ton. of bituminous coal is made to yield 14 hundredweight of smokeless fuel, .7,000 cubic feet of gas, 16 gallons of oil similar to erode petroleum, 3 gallons of refined motor spirit and 20 pounds of sulphate of ammonia for fertilizer. Besides making fuel smokeless, this process supplies by-products of enormous importance. ;
