Incre.s, of the Peat Industry

Peat is forcing itself more and more upon
the attention of the industrial world as q
valuable raw material In Germany it is
being utilized as a source of bog-head
naphtha, tar, solar oil, parafin, acetic acid
and gas, and the peat bogs of North Ger
many and Sweden are now being worked
with view to obtaining the elastic fibre,
which, when free from dust, is used for
weaving into carpets and other textile
fabrics. Good peat also furnishes peat
cellulose, which obtains good price from
paper manufacturers, and when dried is
valuable as packing material as a suhsti-
tute for straw litter. The dust is especially
adapted for preserving perishable articles.
Meat and fish have been sent long distances
packed in this material, in perfect con-
dition.

The Denials That the Food Contains but

The Denials That the Food Contains but
Little Phosphorus.
For years fish, and especially saltwater
fish, has been eaten largely by mental
workers under the impression that 1t b
good for brain fag, on account Of the large
quantity of phosphorus fish meat contains,
eays DR.. j. N. Norwood in the st. Louis
Globe Democrat Lately more than one ply
sician and scientist has put himself on
record as denying that there is sufficient
phosphorus in fish to make it of any value
q. brain food, and many who have derived
consolation from consuming it have felt a
little sore in consequence. The principal
argument on the negative side Is that in
habitants of fishing villages where butchers
mea. is never seen, do not display excep-
tional intelligence or abnormal brain
power.
To this It may we'll be answered that an
exclusive fish, diet is not sufficiently in
vigorating or strengthening, but this does
not alter the fact that ell weH-cooked fish
on analysis are found to contain phosphorus
in large quantities, and the salt and shell
varieties exceptionally so.

The ares. Men Who Dream Dreams,

The Great Men Who Dream Dreams.
Speaking Of DR.. Talmage reminds me Of
two other minlsters-though each has q
special title of his own. They are Bishop
Potter and Rabbi Gottheil, who, am told,
are very close friends in spite of some diff
ferences Of opinion, and who persistently
poke jokes at each other. They take their
constitutional walks In Central Park where
notes. Here is the latest report of their
conversation:
"Ah, Rabbi" says tho Bishop, cordially.
"glad to see you looking so well, Rabbi. I
had a dream last night and was Just think
ing about it. dreamed that 1 died and
went to the gate of heaven, where met
Peter, and, just as I anticipated, he well
coined me with open arms and announced to
me that my home in the Protestant heaven
was all ready for me. Something in the
expression struck me as being singular, so I
asked him if there was nothing but a
Protestant heaven, and he replied that
there was also a Hebrew heaven. Some
what surprised, as you may imagine, Rabbi,
I asked him if could take peep in the
Hebrew heaven before went to my home
in the Protestant heaven. He said that I
might, so I went there and looked In,
Rabbi"
"Yah, yah," said the Rabbi, in his
charming broken English, as he delightedly
rubbed his hands, and q benevolent smile
overspread his face; "yah, Bishop? Und
vot did you see, Bishop"
"Well, Rabbi, saw great host. Of OLD
men with long, gray boards, walking solemn
ly around in grave silence and with sad
faces, but no women, Rabbi, no womenl
You know there are no women in your re-
ligion!" said the Bishop.
The Rabbi bowed his head refectively,
kept silence for a moment and then said:
''That vos very queer, Bishop, but I had q
dream like dot mineself"
"Ah, indeed" remarked the Bishop, in
terested at once.
s'Yah, I died und vent to heaven, yoost
as you did, Bishop, und Peter he say my
home vos ready for me in the Hebrew
heaven, und it struck me SO queer I wanted
to know if there vos anodder heaven, und
he say yes, dere vos der Protestant heaven,
und asked him if could take squint in
der Protestant heaven, und he says yes, und
so goes dere-"
Eyes, Rabbi" interrupted the Bishop,
impatiently, land what did you see,
Rabbi?"
''vot did I see?" answered the Rabbi,
gravely. "Vot did I see? I saw holdings,
Bishop-der blace vos empty"

The General Situation.
There is hardly anything new in the gen.
eral baseball situation. There are still lots
of rumorsregarding the 12-club league. and
/ am free to admit that 1t looks less like a
consolidation now than it did short time
ago. That efforts are being made to effect a
settlement is true, but everybody wants SO
much that nobody can agree with anybody
else on the matter. There is plenty of time
to arrange a settlement Before next April to
be sure, but in the meantime the trench is
widening by the jumping and rejumping of
players. This stealing" of players will
not mend matters, and it cannot be stopped
until q final settlement is made.
Blow at Baseball.
One of the most amusing and I might say
audacious spectacles of late years is the sp-
pearance of Councilman Wertheimer, of
Allegheny, before the public as an opponent
of the national game. Whether he be an.
opponent in spirit does not matter, because
he is publicly posing as baseball enemy
when he tries to persuade the Allegheny
Councils to exact license fee of SIS per
game from the local club. All the sophistry
and reasoning in the world cannot down the
fact that this is direct blow to the game in
this section, and were there any sound rea-
