PEAT AS FUEL.
The Extent to which 1t Is Used In Euro
pcnn Countries.

| pcRn Countries.
In Friesland and other parts Of Uol.
land the "blaclS turf" is made into fuel
for brick lSilns, litter for stables, and
mould for mixing with sewage. Some
of it is exported to Bremen, Bruins
wick and Belgium, and it is stated that
2So, 900 tons of the fuel, worth e133, 600,
are annually consumed throughout the
Netherlands. The Dutch canals facili-
tate the transport of the peat, and, as
the subsoil of the moors is always culti-
waited after the peat is lifted, the
barges that take away the peat bring
back manure for the ground. At Gro
ningen, for instance, all the sewage of
the city is applied to the reclamation
of the surrounding turf moors.
In Denmark, where there is no great
supply of peat, it is chiefly used by the
peasants as fuel, or as bedding in the
dairy farms. In Sweden, on the con-
trary, there are bogs extending for
hundreds of square miles, and of late
years over 600 600 acres of the moor
land have been brought under the
plow. The peat is prepared as fuel,
and largely consumed in making iron,
glass, or brick, either alone or mixed
with coal and fir cones. In southern
Sweden there are factories solely en-
gagged in manufacturing peat fuel for
sale, us its use is steadily increasing,
and some 10000 tons year are en-
ployed in metallurgical operations.
Insouthern and cen trail Sweden there
are some twenty factories for prepar-
ing peat-litter and mould, each factory
turning out from Is, 900 to 10000 bales
year, fetching about IS. piece. The
mould is used for gardening in Sweden,
while stuffing for mattresses or furni-
ture, and surgical bandages are made
from the white moss of the moors. In
France the peat is moulded into
"briquettes" with tar and resin, teased
into litter, or woven into fabrics, which
are used in the army, its barracks and
hospitals, as blankets, mattresses and
saddle cloths, or for stuffing cofferdams
and certain parts of machinery

ACCORDING to the American Ship
builder, the large shipbuilders, Har-
land & Wolff, Belfast, Ireland, who
built the Majestic and Teutonic, pay
riverters 1874 per week; pattern
makers, ss.27 per week; platers the
same, and filters S6.57 TO $500. More
than twice these sums are paid in this
country to the same trades, and it is
no wonder that merchant ships are
built abroad instead of in this country,
with such wide discrepancy in the
cost for labor.

NEARLY hundred schemes have
been devised for utilizing culm, the
name of the fine dust or refuse of coal
that is shipped from the mines. Many
of these schemes have proved useless.
1t is now suggested that electrical
power plants be established at all coal
mines where culm accumulates, and
that it be used as fuel for generating
power, which could then be conveyed
by wire to neighboring cities.
