BIG PEAT BoGs IN CANADA.
Many Thousand Acres to supply Fuel
In the Province of
Ontario.

The best authorities say there are
100000 acres of undeveloped peat bog
in Ontario, principally in the counties
of Perth, Welland and Essex. The
largest area lies in the county of
Perth, eight miles north of the city of
Stratfbrd, on the Grand Trunk rail-
way. Here is swamp of 10000 acres,
with a depth Of peat bog that varies
from foot to 20 feet About year
ago the Canadian Peat Fuel company
was organized, and early in the sum
mer active operations TO put the fuel
on the market began.
The process Of manufacture is as fol-
lows: The peat IS cut and air-dried,
after which it is pulverized by being
pressed through a picker, and auto
matically deposited in a hopper, which
feeds steel tube about two inches in
diameter and Is inches long. The pull
verized peat is forced through this
tube by pressure, and formed into cyl
indricai blocks three inches in length
and almost equal in density TO anthra-
cite coal. The fuel is nonfriable and
weatherproof by reason of its solid
fly and the extreme glaze impaired to
It by frictional contact with forming
dies. The inherent moisture of the
peat is reduced to y per cent. OF the
mass. In weight, it compa5es with
coal as follows: Eighfy-three pounds
per cubic foot Of peat equal 7s pounds
Of bituminous or % pounds Of anthra-
cite coal.
It is claimed for peat that it is SUI

from sulphur and the absence Of

cooking ranges and furnaces, giving a
long, bright fame and intense heat al
most from the moment Of ignition. It
has been tested in locomotives with ex-
ceDent results, showing that the
thermal value of 100 pounds of peat is
equal to 95.15 pounds of coal. 1t was
also tried at the power house Of the
Metropolitan street railway, Toronto,
and gave great satisfaction. The heat
produced was much greater than that
Of coal, but it was eight per cent. de-
fcient in lasting power. 1t requires
but little draught, and yburps best in
a shallow~tffe6ox.
The~iflachinery used in manufacture
ing peat fuel is not expensive, and re-
qRires but little attention when in OPP

when these works are fairly started it
can produce compressed peat fuel for

The Red-Eieaded Girl.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
Some OF the Requirements of the
Liquor Traffic.

The liquor traffic requires the
grain and fruit of the land to be
transformed in the brewerie, while
India suffers with famine. ~
1t requires large eweffgS.yhich
represept IMMENSE wealth. while
o-.r iarge cities swarm with home

1t requires license, which, high
or low, gives she liquor traffic the
semblance of respectability and
benefcence. The revenue i'm
proves the cities. Temptation is
placed in the way of the weak.
Mothers grow anxious and sad /.
Homes are broken and lives are
ruined.
The liquor traffic requires sa-

tiveness more complete they have
music rooms, card rooms, private
suites, ladies' apartments, etc.
The furnishings are beautiful, the
license is high = but there are

nance election met last night, but ad-
1ourned after a five-minute session,

there was no evidence Of fraud, and in
It's opinion recount was unnecessary.

at It's next meeting.
OF the eight members Of the commit

Messrs. List and Bloomfield, those
present being Messrs. Baird. Fair,
Healey, stroebel. Miller and Wa

man. After a general discussion, no
evidence OF fraud being presented, the
committe decided to report to council
to that effect, and adjournment fol-
lowed.
The. committee was unanimous in this
decision, and 1t was the only thing that
could be done, under the circumstances.
