Saccharin By-Product of Coal; Other Things Obtained from Fuel "Sweeter than coal" is more accur- ate than the time-honored phrase, "Sweeter than Sugar." _ Saccharin. a by-product of coal, is the sweetest thing in the world, be- ing 500 times sweeter than one su- gar. Edward Steidman of the geo- logy department of the Virginia Mil- itary institute, Lexington. Va., and a contributing editor to Ameriea's newest encyclopedia. the World Book, told agroup of students. Mr. Steidman read the manuscript he prepared for the World Book on the story of coal. and called it one of the most interesting stories in hu. man annals. Hundreds of hy-prod- ucts come from coal, he said, and the rummodity touches everyday life in thousands of ways. Produces Strange Things "One ton of coal is capable of pro. ducing many things." said Mr. Steid. man. "One ton will yield 440 pounds of 235: over 1,400 pounds of coke, whose pr~ducts are used to make beta tery carbons; 6% pounds of gas Ii- quid, from which comes catholic aeid, creosote, fertilizers for gardens, laughing gas. used by dentists in extracting teeth, aspirin, with which to deeded. pain, and liquid ammonia for electric refrigerators; 120 pounds of tar, which produces dyes for mil. ady’s clothes; paint for the house; paving materials for the streets. and hundred, of other products and by- products. "Saccharin is a white, odorless powder, used ehiefly in the making of candy. and in baking and preserv- ine," said Mr. Steidman. "It is also used to counteract diabetes." "The United States possesses Ip- proximately two-thirds of the entire coal supply of the world, and we mine nearly twice as much coal each year as Great Britain, nearly three times as much as Germany, and I doxen times as much " France."
