PEAT CHANGED INTO ELECTRICITY
Germans Will Utilize Enormous Deposits
of Turf Fuel.

A scheme for the transmission
electric power and its distribution on an
enormous scale is to be tried in North
Germany. 1t is proposed to utilize the
great peat beds there for the manufac-
ture of currents that shall be distributed
to manufacturing centers.
IT is estimated that an acre OF turf
ten feet thick contains thousand pounds
of dry peat, and that this is equivalent
TO 10000 tons of coke. In the peat
valleys of North Germany there is an
area of a thousand square miles, which
should furnish the equivalent of 10000
600 tons of pit coal. That would be
more than the total production of Ger
manv for three years. 1t is proposed to
burn this turf at central stations, each
of which will have engines with 10000
horse power capacity, consuming an
n,,allv 100000 tons of turf, the product
of 200 acres of the beds.
These power stations will gihd Out
electricity that will be conveyed by wire
TO the consumers. One application Of
the power is to be to boat traction or
the canal now in course OF constructor
to connect Dostmund with the peat re
gion. :. :.
Another very interesting application o
the power will be in the manufacture o
acetvlene. the materials of which can b
obtained easily and cheaply in the neigh
borhood. 1t is calculated that with
horse power of 10000 acetylene can b
produced daily in quantities equal t
10000 gallons of petroleum, or equs
in value in one year to 10000 tons 9
foreign imported petroleum.

Our Sponge Industry,

Study of the sponge fields of Florida is
to be taken up by the general govern
ment. with a view of developing the in
dustrv. which is now considered, to a
great extent, to be neglected, though it
EMPLOYS about $40 vessels and some two
thousand men.
Florida is the only portion of the
United States producing the better grade
of sponges. 1t is estimated that the pres
ent fishing year will supply about $780,
600 in commercial value, and the inten-
ton is to increase this very much in Z
year or two.
The sponge grounds of the Gulf Of
Mexico extend from Florida reefs to st
Marks, and for distance OF fifteen
miles from the shore. The best sponges
| in color, texture and size, are indigen'

Growth Of American Industries an 'mpoF'

Il
"One of the chief reasons for the
marked increase in the saloon travel be-
tween Europe and this country IS tnat
we are now sending goods to every cor
ner of the earth," said the American
agent Of one of the largest steamer lines.
Many Americans make SIX or i,'oie
| trips year to the other side, wneie
| formerly they did not cross at all. En-,
| plishmen and Germans who are engaged

and even food raising, visit US mucn
oftener now. Quite few come to look
around with an idea of asccrtaining now
we have made such gigantic commercial
strides in such short time, but the
great majority, realizing the necessity
for adopting American methods where
practicable, come here to purchase ma
chinery and the like without which It
would be impossible for them to copy
Yankee thrift and industry.

Fault of the Boots.

AS a sergeant was bawling out his
orders in a barracks in Dublin and
watching the line of feet as the new re-
cruits endeavored to obey the word of
command, he found, to his astonishment,
that one pair of feet, more noticeable on
account of their extra size, never turned.
Without taking his eyes off those feet
the sergeant bawled out second order
"About FACET He could see that all
the feet except those he watched turned
in obedience. Rushing up to the owner
little fellow, he seized him by the
shoulder, shouting:
"Why don't you turn with the restr
