This is the view of Sir Willlam J. Fuel, expressed at a meeting of the British Gological Society held here re- cently, "Coal is still king," Sir Willlam de- clared "It must be admitted that oll has been usec with great success, even in competition with coal, for steam raising and the production of mechani cal energy by direct combustion. Nevertheless oil 8 em: unlikely to re place coal as .~ important fuel upon which our moder. civilization is based." ee - Str William poluted oue that the ad- vantages for oil firing for boilerg were great. But he thought their greatest advantages were In large vessels such as liners, leaving the greater propor- tio: of the world's steam tonnage to be propelled by coal. Sir Willlam said that stone coal was used by the anclent Britons before the Roman invasion. But it did not ap- pear to come into general use until the thirteenth century, At that time sea- borne coal was well enough known in London to give its name to a street-- Sea Coals Lane in Farringdon Street. Referring to the question of the pol. lution of the atmosphere, Sir William mentioned the first smoke abatement law in history, passed' in 1273. The amount of smoke in the air was con- sidered Injurious to health. But the authorities passed no regulations as to the size of chimneys or fires, Peo- ple were just forbidden to use stone coal at all, ----iy As Others See Us!
