worn by women are colored with dye.i
tbat come from coal. The gns used to
illuminate nud to heat our homes la a
product of the distillation of coal. Val
uable ehemlculs, such as tauftue, naph
thalene and toiueuo, are coal product!,
The tar used In paving streets and
protecting roofs from rain Is also a
byproduct of tho commercial trentmeut

Coal Is Indeed one of the most com
plex materials to he found In nil ua

back to the dim, geological agea. The
