In an article by Dr.. Monaco in the
Atti del Lincei on the action of q~uinine
on the parasite of malaria 1t is shown
that certain strengths of the drug
cause the expulsion Of the parasites
from the red blood corpuscles when
the parasites are in their second or
adult stage. There seems to be still
some doubt as to the exact dose Of
quinine which ought to be administer
ed to effect cure Of spring fever, and
the amount seems to vary with the pc
culiarities Of various patients. From
these experiments, however, 1t would
appear that the doses usually given are
excessive, and that a more rational
dose would lie between half a gramme
and a gramme of the bisulphate Of
quinine. Too strong solutions seem to
cause paralysis of the parasites and to
prevent their expulsion from the blood
corpuscles.

The peat-bed is the embryo coal
field. If peat-beds could remain I'M
disturbed, they would, in time, be
transformed into mineral coal. They
are composed of the roots Of plants
which grow very rapidly, in~terlacing
and mating themselves until they are
almost like a solid mass. These roots
die out below, but the top layers are
the crowns from which the new growth
springs every year. Naturally, when
they have remained for a long time I'M
molested, the layer of roots becomes
enormously thick. Peat is used in al
most all of the countries of Europe for
fuel. Investigations by the department
of state assure us that the cultivation
of this plant and it's utilization would
be of the greatest advantage to the
poor who have to depend upon coal
for heating purposes. When peat Is
dug by those who understand it's value,
the top layer is taken off and care
fully put aside. The root growth is
then cut out and the sod is replaced
and pressed down to be ready for
growth the next season. It is often
the case that under the top layers
there will be found a quantity of root
stalks, leaves and sometimes trunks of
trees. This becomes quite solid, and is
called peat fiber. Below this there is
a black. pitchy compound hat in some
instances, when it has long been in po-
%sition, may be cut smoothly, showing
a surface almost like wax. This is the
most valuable part of the peat, and
gives out a tremendous heat and a
good deal OF black smoke. Peat boys
must be drained and carefully man
aged in order to yield the best results.
