Utilization OF Peat Boys,

The peat boys Of Great Britain and Ire
land are estimated at 6,O00 900 acres, hay
Ing an average depth of 12 feet and being
capable of yielding 3, 500 tons Of dried peat
per acre. In Ireland there are 9, $50, 900
acres or nearly one-seventh of the entire
area OF the island More than half of the
Irish peat is of the best quality and reck-
oned at one-sixth the value of coal. The to-
tai supply In Ireland is thought to be
equivalents to 40, 900, 900. tons of coal.
This is a vast store of energy, which, like
the power of Niagara, might be converted
into electricity and applied to many in

SCRIBNER's MAGAZINE. = Much of
Robert Louis Stevenson's best work
appeared for the first time in Scribner's
Magazine, the only periodical to which
he was an habtual contributor during
the last ten years; and it is therefore
peculiarly appropriate that the first ac
count of his home-life at Vailima, writ
by member of his household-his
stepson and co-worker, Lloyd Osbourne
should appear in Scribner's pages.
Mr.. Osbourne's account of the home
which Stevenson created, Of his ex-
traordinary influence throughout Samoa,
and the interesting household Of Samoan
servants and dependents which he bull
up around him, is most picturesque and
| entertaining.

Metals That Kill Microbes,

Microbes have assumed SO much impor-

following out experiments previously be-
gun by Others has shown that there are
certain metals which are capable of de-
stroying microbes in contact with them.
The microbes experimental with were
cultivated for the purpose in jelly, spread
on plate, and bits of metal were dropped
upon the jelly while it was still moist.
Any metal that had the property of ar
resting the development of the microbes
destroyed them, not only just under tho
place where 1t lay, but for narrow space
around 1t. The width of this space varied
both with the kind of metal and the kind

FURNISHED, had no effect on the microbes.
Pure nickel and platinum, and few other
metals, also failed to affect tho organisms.
But cadmium, copper, brass, zinc and sill

DIR. Bolton observed that tho metals
which affected the microbes were those
that are readily attacked by chemical re
agents, while those that resist such re-

this fact he concluded that the action upon
the organisms was due to solution of the
metals taking place in the jelly.-Youth' s

NORTHERN CITY ON SOUTHERN SOIL.
Objects OF interest to the visitor are
too numerous for even brief mention
here. To sum up all, Richmond is a
beautiful, growing and thriving city,
and has great future before it. 1t is
not too much to ascribe its greatness to
the infusion of northern blood, energy
and money, one evidence of which is
the fact that in this city was made the
first practical application of electricity
AS a means of propelling street cars.
1t is almost northern city on southern
soil. That which disenchants one Of
the illusion that he is in a northern
city is the presence of large colored
population. Almost every second per-
son one meets is colored. Indeed, the
census shows very nearly as many
blacks as whites. Some conclusions
drawn from this fact are reserved for
the final article of this series.

Found by the Needle.

Science has demonstrated that there lies

gion, BUT Investigation also makes it prob
able that this mass is about seven miles
below the surface-a fact calculated to cool
the ardor of spectators for some time to
come. We translate from Gaea. Leipsic,
an account of the discovery of this inacces-
sible ore bed, which human eye has never
seen:
"When recently, for the first time in so
years, new Sriangulation of European
Russia has been begun, the remarkable
fact was discovered that in the neighbor-
hood Of Moscow the plumb line suffered
very notable deviation from the vertical.
This deviation appeared greatest with

while farther south the lower end of the
line is deviated about five seconds toward
the south. So noteworthy deviation Of
the line in a level region seems to indicate
that heavy masses Of considerable thick
ness must be situated there under the
earths surface Great masses of iron were
naturally thought of first, and an attempt
was made to demonstrate the existence Of
such masses by means of measurements Of
terrestrial magnetism. The scientist H.
Fritsche, so well known on account of his
researches in terrestrial magnetism, made
In June, 1893, q magnetic survey Of the
neighborhood of Moscow for so kilometers
600 miles) around. The terrestrial mag
netic elements were precisely measured for
81 localities, and indicated cartographical-
ly on a map. 1t was shown that In a zone

north to south and 100 (93 miles) long
from east to west, including Moscow, the

"a chart of the anomalies of magnetic
inclination shows that the deviation of the
magnetic needle from the horizontal is
greater than the normal north Of Moscow
and smaller to the south, and the chart OF
the anomalies of declination deviation
from true north) shows similar irregulari-
ties. These researches lead to the 0onclu-
sion that where the local attraction was
observed, in the neighborhood Of Moscow,
huge masses Of iron lie buried under
ground, and that they possess north mag
netism in q middle zone and south mag
netism in two subsidiary zones stretching
north and south therefrom. The question
how deep this mass lies cannot certainly
be answered, but, according to Fritschc's
estimate, 1t may be assumed that the mid
die zone lies scarcely less than 95, 600 feet
below the surface. An exploration Of this
immense mass of ore Is therefore impossi-
BILE, owing to the depth at which it is stu
