The FIRST session Of the fifty
seventh congress Of the United
States has adjourned.
This session has accomplished
much important work, despite the
fact that much wrangling has
marked the deliberations. The
Isthmian canal bill was passed
and has received the signature Of
the president. This involves the
purchase Of the Panama canal
and its completion at an enormous
cost, that the United States may
have a waterway across the 18TH
mus of Panama. This bill carries
an appropriation Of 100000.
This represents an expenditure far
greater than any single business
enterprise ever attempted by the
government and will take years
to complete, and will give the
United States a most commanding
position upon the high seas.
The repeal Of the war tax. in
volving the payment Of az, 900, 900
taxes was an important matter,
and relieves the country Of a great
burden.

chimes of small capacity-one worked
by hand, the other by power-have

'Of the processes actually employed,
the value of which has been fully es-
tablished by experience, one of the
most interesting is that invented by
G. Schlickeysen, of Rixdorf-Be

Turf briquettes ordinarily contain
about sc per cent. of infammable ele-
ments, the remainder being made up
of inorganic ash and water. They are
thus inferior as fuel to briquettes
made from brown coal, which average
70 per cent. or more of inflammable
matter. Both represent in their
present form the utmost that science
has been able to do in utilizing inferior
and otherwise almost worthless ma
terials to supplement and exc out the

air out of the drying chamber and con-

air out of the drying chamber and con-
denses it in the conduit pipes, thus
greatly stimulating the process of
evaporation by which the peat is dried.
Peat in its raw state contains from 70
to IS per cent. of water and an the
humid climate of northern Europe is
usually very difficult material to dry.
1t is claimed for the Stauber method
that it reduces the moisture to IS or
20 per cent. quickly, effectively and,
what is, important, without changing
the chemical composition of the peat
or in any way adding to it. The drying
machine is in the boiler form (cylin-
dricaD and of size to conveniently
produce five tons of dried peat per day.
In large plant this unit would be sim
ply repeated, as a number of machines
can be worked with air currents gem
Grated by the same engine. The peat
coal can be used for locomotive or
other fuel raw, or it can be cooked, and
produces colse wholly free from sui
plrur and as valuable as charcoal for
certain industrial purposes.

pany give the cost Of a plant capable of
turning out so tons of peat briquettes

GA second process is that invented by
f. Schulke of Bach strasse. Hamburg,
the salient feature of which is that
the turf or peat used is cleaned of
roots, stones. ETC., then liquehel by
water and pumped through pipe
several miles to the works, where, as
claimed by the inventor, it is leached
and converted by heat and pressure
into briquettes at net cost of $2a ton,
or into artificial coal having thermal
value of 6,25O calories at cost of
$3.50 per ton. 1t is understood that a
large plant is in process of erection on
the northern coast of Germany for the
utilization of this method, but as to
the actual condition of the enterprise
or the practical value of the process
! on an industrial scale, no exact infor-
nation is at hand.

worth while by certain OF them to
bring over two carloads of Connells-
vile coal to be cooked as test by the
German process. The complete success
of that experiment decided the intro
duction of the standard German type OF
coking over into the United States.
Something similar, it would seem,
might proftably be done with the
materials which Americans have not
vet succeeded in converting into salts
factory briquettes. There are expert
enced engineers and dozen manufac-
turers of briquette-making machinery
who would gladly cooperate IN these
tests and would furnish machinery
adapted to working the material thus
technically defined. Upon basis OF
such tests, plans and estimates could
be obtained for the erection of plants
IN the United States with specified daily
capacity. Among the builders OF bri-
quette-making machinery in Germany

late report sent to the state depart
ment by Frank FL. Mason, consul gen
eral to Berlin, which deals with the
use of briquettes, made from brown
coal, carbonized peat, coal dust and so
forth, used as domestic and steam fuel
in Berlin and other German cities, and
the wholesome effect of such fuel, to-
gether with coke and fuel gas, in pre-
serving towns and cities from the
smoke nuisance and at the same time
affording a fuel cheaper than the hard
coal.
Mr.. Mason says there are in opera
ion in Germany SO manufactures of
fuel briquettes and he goes on to say:
eff Americans are really interested in
the subject there is no need that they
should risk any large sums of money
in uncertain experiments. They have
only to study the machinery and meth
DDS employed in European countries,
compare their crude materials with
those found and used here, and they
can thus start at the point of technical
knowledge which Europeans have
reached after many years of expert
ence. When, some ten years ago, the
attention of American ironmakers
was called to the German system OF
making blast furnace coke in retort
ovens, which saves the valuable volatile
elements of the coal, it was thought
