Mode Of fnding Bog timber in Ire.
l0nd.--The manner Of discovering bog.
timber is remarkable. AS the dew
never lies on those places beneath
which trees are buried, man goes out
early in the morning, before the dew
evaporaies, taking with him a long
slender spear. Thrusting this down
wherever The absence of dew indicates
timber, he discovers by The touch of
the spear whether it be decayed or
sound; if sound he marks the spot, and
at his leisure proceeds to dig mp his
prize, and in doing so. he may some.
