BE KG COMPLEIED
_
Superintendent Davis of the Bu
reau of Mines and Paul Hopkins,
chemist of the bureau, are now en
, gaged in perfecting arrangements
whereby tests of the evaporative
efficiency of lignite from the Lynn
mine may be made.
Mr. Davis stated this morning
that it will require about two days
more to complete all of his arrange
ments before actual testing of the
coal can begin.
When everything is ready a series
of tests will be conducted for the
purpose of determining accurately
the evaporative efficiency of the
lignite. Each test will be of ten
hours' duration.
One of the boilers of the power
plant of the A. E. C. will be used
for the tests and everything that
goes in and comes out of the boiler
and fire box will be carefully
weighed. The temperature of the
furnace and of the flue gasses will
be taken, the latter will be chemi
cally analysed, and from the data
thus obtained, Mr. Davis will be en
abled to calculate the evaporative
efficiency of the lignite.
It is also hoped that a quantity
of eordwood will be procured for the
purpose of conducting a test to de
termine the relative values of wood
and lignite as fuels.
