Demand for Typewriters.
New York Commercial.

New York Commercial.
The enormous demand for typewriters
which Is growing steadily from week 10
week, is only another demonstration of the
fact that a full supply for a recognized
human need Is often difficult of production
The old days, when business men and au-
thors struggled with the pen, cramping
their fingers and wearying their brains.
have practically passed away To-day
court records, manuscript copy and busi-
ness documents are nearly all produced by
the typewriter, and machines capable Of
doing the work required of them can be
secured at all prices. from $40 up to 800.
The result is that demand has arisen that
the manufacturers find IL difficult to sun
ply. and their business Is more than BOOM
ing" Not only is the domestic demand
overwhelming, but the call for American
machines from abroad is enormous and
constantly increasing. One of the leading
manufacturers announces that, while IL has
been making weekly five hundred machines
for shipment abroad, the demand has be-
come SO great that he will be Obliged to
enlarge his plant In order to meet IL. and
that II In now three thousand machines be-
hind In the fulfllment OF its contracts
This is the record Of only one manufac-
turer. and Ii is said to be representative OF
the condition OF all the large firms engaged
In the business. The manufacture of type
writers. like nearly every large industry
In the land, Is feeling the effects OF the
wonderful prosperity that Is sweeping over
US. with no sign OF any nearly approaching
change In the course OF Its progress.

DENVER, Oct. 4.-Thomas f. Walsh,

deliver the opening address at the session

Monday. Asked for his views as to the at

The first duty of the men who are inter-
ested in the result of this movement should
be TO eliminate sectionalsm. The question
of the reclamation of arid lands should be
kept a national one. The congress should
urge that the first reservoir site should be
wisely chosen. Future success and the fu-
ture good opinion of the East will depend
upon the beginning, and We shall bend our
efforts TO securing an auspicious start

the suangest part of the tale After a

that at least three members Of the con-

PEAT MAY TAKE PLACE OF coal
University Of Michigan Professors
See Great Things in New Invention.
New York Trihune1

New York Tribune.)
Ann Arbor, Mich.-Professors Cooley
and Sadler and Messrs. Allen and An
derson of the University of Michigan
are at work on q new peat drying
process, and if it proves a success.
which seems likely, it contains great
possibilities. Professor Cooley makes
the following statement:
Peat is one Of the most abundant and
accessible Of the earth's products. The
extent Of the peat boys in this country
alone is measured in millions Of acres
Now, 100 pounds of peat from the bog
contains eighty to eighty-fve pounds OF
water Our problem is TO get rid of
the water with the least possible ex-
pense. By passing it through rollers,
or by using centrifugal or hydraulic
presses the eighty-five pounds Of water
can be reduced TO forty-fve or nifty.
Tt is to remove the remainder that our
process is devised.
The apparatus, which We call a cas-
cade dryer consists of a series OF
trays, over which the peat, previously
ground, passes. The trays are kept at
a high heat. and as the peat passes
over them. blasts Of hot air are driven
through the pulp. readily absorbing the
water contained therein.
After the peat is dried and is in a
fine PUPPY condition, il is fed into bri-
quoting machines. where il is sub
jected TO a pressure of from FIVE 10
ten pounds a square inch. and delivered
in solid blocks or briquettes Of nearly
or quite the density of bituminous
coal The peat is then ready for use
as a fuel 1t is clear and free from all
foreign material burns readily. and
holds its fire much ike coal. A pound
OF dry peat gives the same amount of
heat as three-quarters Of a pound Of
coal. but there is not a Clinker or stone
or o>her refuse. except ashes.
By this process the cost Of manufac-
turing peat fuel viii be reduced TO
such an extent that it can be bought
at considerably less than hard coal
and viii be an acceptable substitute
therefor.
