WINTER FUEL FOR PRAGUE.— Czecho-Slovakia’s capital, which has been as short of fuel as almost every other city of Europe, has largely solved its problem, It has plenty of coal suitable for gas at Most, over 60 miles away, but no transport to bring the coal to the city. So a gasworks has been erected at the mines themselves and a pipe line laid the whole distance to the city. The plan was to have been completed at Christmas, and the city expected to have a daily delivery of a liberal supply of the fuel at low cost, by the time the coldest weather arrived. The works and the pipe were planned to deliver 520,000 cubic metres every day.
