Within the next) few yeurs he perdicts the\de velopment of these vast lignite coal fields will bring grater wealth to the people of the state than h been brought to Pennsylvania or any other state by anthracite or bituminous coal mining. The successfal demonstra- tion in the state by the United States bureau of mines of the commercial practicability of carbonizing and bri- quetting lignite coal will-be certain to at once attract a wealth of capital and experienced coal mining, operators | from the east to open np and develop the incomparably rich liginte coal d& Hosits that now underlay most of the western part of the state.

Dr. Darling has for the past twelve years Closely followed and studied the developments of the utilization of lig- nite coal and its various by-products in this and in foreing countries. For | four years, Dr. Darling was employed by the Canadian government in this work and during that time made and bonized lignite in gas producer en- gines. For-the last two years he has had charge of the lignite coal and the lignitecoal by-products investigations and experiments carried on by the federal government. Dr. Darling be- lieves that tho lignite coal industry is now on the threshold of a very rapid and a. very important development.
