WHAT SCIENCE 1S DOING All From Coal .Probably most of us are familiar with the fact that through coal 'lar dyes, coal gives us a whole rainbow of gorgeous colors, but sot so many persons realize that coal is potentially richer in rub- bers than all the islande of the East, more bountiful in fibres than all the silkworms, and in general provides a storehouse of Chemicals from which may be procured many materials essential both in peace and in war. To accomplish these wonders of transformation, coal is not dump- }: into some gigantic bubbling Mort over a roaring fire by a }Hawk -visaged chemist in a white esn'oek who hovers over the mess awaiting the particular product ldesired, writes W. P. Itieasbey in The OI>ristian Science Mo mitor. * "Made from coal," according to du Pont chemists, who gave us nylon from coal, air, and water, -teeny means that one of several fiitermediatee uses in making a product is, in tu: n, made from aee or more of the eeverai deriv- atives of coal. fitumnious coal, heated in an • enclosed chamber, gives off vola- tile produete shell as coal gas, ammonia, benzol, and toluol, and lams coke as a re.:'1due. These oubstancee are them ready for use in making suer• widely . diverse materials es anti-fleeze compounds 'for ariplane. tank, truck and auto- mobile engines; fertilizers; insec- ticides; "oaple"5 , Leap-" and erally hunch e'ls of ether prod - urea. * r1 For inseteme, about 1.1 l:rourals of coal are chemically utiiied in the making: of (stns, pound of the synthetic rasher -tike neoprene. 'a,'aucitt," the erystal-elver plaastic for bomber noses and blisters, comes from black coal, and this is only one of many light and strong plastics to come from coal and its derivative.. ., r m Toluol and methanol, used in military explosives trach as TNT, come from coal, as al, o doee tri- chlorethylene, which is an odor- less, non-inflanen<ble dry clean- ing fluid which has now "gone to was" to make smoke screens and to clean metal parte of ordnance. quickly and efficiently: Even acetate rayon may now derive its vital acetic said from coal. And out of the continuing in- tensive research carried on under stress of war there doubtless will come many new things made from coal wlgcll will be eagerly wel- comed by the peacetime world. 2nd Russ War Loan. Is Oversubscribed Soviet Russia's second war loan of 12,000,000,000 rubles was oversubscribed by 2,561,000,000 rubles in the first 24 hours, it wee announced recently, and sub- scriptions were said to be mount- ing pteadily. (In foreign trade the ruble. has had a nominal value of 19 cents but conditions governing Russia's eConomie contacts with the out- side world make accurate eonver- idon into the dollar impossible. (On the basis of a 19 -cent fig- ure, however, 12,000,000,000 rubles would be $2,280,000,000.) TO FEE is as important as TO SEED Itetuenther this if yoaa .'nn( maxi - Mum results from your gztrden.
