Theexperiments were an unqualified is now proposed to continue the ex-periments, first with domestic coal and If the continuation of the experimentsalluded to above should make availablefor railroad purposes the domestic coalsupply of Brazil, there is an enormousfield of possibilities open to railroadinghere. For a long time the problem ofall the railroads, but notably that of theCentral, has been one of fuel, and manyof the best judges of these matters nowbelieve that this problem is on the highroad to solution. The opinion of the consul-general inwhich he expresses the belief that the dif-. iNTiikioK oi < AU oi- i!i<.\ziM.\.\ K.\Gi.\K ,icrican coal mixed, and then finallywith Brazilian coal, from the Jacuhy dis-trict. The Jacuhy River, in the State ofRio Grande, waters a district that is saidto be rich in the peculiar, and until nowsomewhat problematically useful, coal ofBrazil—problematically useful, becauseit is a coal that does not burn econom-ically in the usual lump form. It is, how-ever, believed that once pulverized, thiscoal will give results quite equal to thelignite that is burned in the United Statesin pulverized form, and should prove tobe exceedingly adaptable to the needs ofrailroads. licult railway fuel problem is on the highroad to satisfactory solution will mean afuture growth to Brazil, and railroadbuilding and railway supplies and equip-ment are likely to be called for in largequantities.
