Nowadays everything that will burn

especial interest TO Massachusetts,
which is said to b. talking of opening
up its extensive peat beds The fac
tory at Stangfiorden is run by elec.
tricity generated by water power, and
has been in operation since 1898. The
chief difficulty in manufacturing fuel
from peat Is getting rid of the water
with which it is always soaked. About
eightyive per cent. by bulk is water.
and practically all OF this must be re.
moved before a satisfactory fuel is
obtained. Al Stangforden the wet
peat is brought TO tine factory in boats.
from which IL is removed by electric
conyeyers and submitted to Il prellm.
mary rough drying and pressing. The
briquertes thus formed are placed in
chambers. through which warm, dry
air is driven. and are finally placed in
electrically heated retots. where the
drying is completed.
The peat yields besides these brl.
quettes, TAR, charcoal. creosote, sui

from five eighty-kilowatt dynamos.

0eseral Trade Conditions.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says:
Lower prices for railway stocks than
at any time since last March do no,
necessarily indicate loss OF traffic nor
setback in business. There are nurner
ous evidences that manufacturing and
transporting interests have not sufficien,
facilities to meet demands, although
plants and equipments are Of create;
efficiency. Distribution of merchanhe
is fully maintained, preparations being
made for heavy holiday trade.
Prospects for continued activity arc
bright because of unprecedented har.
vests, prosperity in the agricultural sec.
tions assuring a good demand for other,
products. Railway earnings continue 70
advance. High temperature retards re.
tail trade in seasonable goods. Aside
from the expected decline in prices Of
pipes and tubes, there has been no evi.
dence of weakness.
Limited supplies in frsthands and with
jobbcrs have sustained cotton goods, de
spite the sharp decline in the raw ma
terial. 1t is between seasons in the mar.
ket for woolen goods.

speed Indicator, consists of a double
dial with index hands, which are
moved automatically from the running
gear Of the machine.
The indicator is applied at either
front or rear wheel between the wheel
and the body of the vehicle. The
double dials show the speed from
either side. The index hand travels
forward and recedes, keeping pace
with the present speed of the vehicle,
while behind the index hand Is an
other, which travels forward so long
as the speed continues on the increase,
but remains stationary when the ma
chine slows up or stops for three to
five minutes. when 1t Is released and
flies back to the present position of the
first named index hand.
The index hands are moved by CEN
trifugal expansion Of heavily weighted
arms in the mechanism. The devices
accuracy and reliability, it is claimed,
cannot be affected by dust. mud, mois-
ture or frost. 1t is easily adjusted to
different sized wheels.
The dial and figures are made large
enough to be easily seen by a person
standing at distance of several feet
away.

PRq2GREO

TO injure the tool Accordingly. water
or oil Is often used to prevent trouble.
An original and ingenious expedient Is
described by A. L. De Leeuw In the
American Machmist. Knowing that
the expansion of a compressed gas pro
duces cold, and that the principle is
utilized in wholesale refrigeration he
made an interesting experiment.
He began by finding short bit OF
metal tube, just big enough to sur.
round his cutting tool for a short dis
tance. In this eight holes were bored,
! 80 inch in diameter and focusing on
the tool about an inch from Its point
Then he provided a supply of com
pressed air, under pressure Of sew
enty pounds to the square inch, and led
this into the holes in such way that
the eight jets would concentrate at one
spot With little experiment he ad'
justed this apparatus so that the most
intense cold caused by it would come
at the very point of the tool. Mr.. De
Ieeuw thus concludes his story:
"The tool was lathe tool Of ordin
airy Mushet steel. The piece in the
lathe Ga slxteen-inch lathe, by the way
was nine inch ram of a hydraulic
press. which was condemned TO the
scrap heap on account of its hardness
The cut was 5-16 inch deep and With
1-32 inch feed. Gradually the speed
was Increased until n speed of 16S feet
minute was reached. This proved to
be the limit. but not because the tool
gave out. but because the lathe refused
to pull at "A higher speed. | then tried
piece of 3h-inch shaftlng, and rar
the speed up to 210 feet a minute,
when again the experiments had to be
stopped on account Of lack OF power
in the lathe. The chips coming from
the lathe were cold. and the tool, after
Its severe trial, was colder than wheR
started"

TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND TRADE.


The question of the influence of tech.
meal education upon trade has lately
been much discussed in England. Tht
President of the Society Of Chemical
Industry in Liverpool gives some Of
the reasons why Germany is now ad.
vancing so rapidly as follows: ]. Su
perior economy, thoroughness. atten.
tion TO detail. 2 The possession of q
large number of men trained not only
technically, but literally. 3. A close
alliance of legislation and Of science
with the interests of trade. 4. A ma
tlonnl system OF railways and canals
3. Cheap skilled labor working long
hours. 6. A large supply of unskilled
laborers already trained to habits of or
der and discipline by army service. 7.
Protective tariffs. 8. A good system
of patent laws. He proposes these rem
edles for England: |. The appoint
ment of a Minister of Commerce. II.
The NATURALIZATION. of railways and
canals. III. The extension and i'm
prOvement of secondary education.
". A reform of patent laws. The
question discussed is acute in England,
and 1t is not without interest in Amer.
lea. The remedies proposed are not
all needed here, and to some of them,

CHEMISTRY OF WOOD.

Varied and valuable work has al
ready been done by the Bureau OF
Chemistry in the Department Of Agrl-
culture, in Washington, but an exten-
sion Of its scope has recently been pro-
vided for at the suggestion of the chief
chemist, DIR. II. w. Wiley. A special
laboratory, the first of its kind In the
United States. has been opened, whose
object Is 10 study problems immediate
ly connected with wood. These are
more numerous and important than
one might suppose. but few OF Them
may here be specified
A bulletin from the Bureau OF For
cStry SAYS that plans have been formu.
lated for the study OF the availability
Of certain hitherto unused woods rs a
source OF wood pulp. Spruce ana pop
lar have So far been used for this pur-
pose. but the supply of these woods Is
falling rapidly. and other woods will
soon have 10 he used. The various
woods will be subjected to the usual
methods OF paper pulp manufacture
and the pulp produced viii be studied
with reference TO fits yield and quality,
and tested rs basis for papers. A
study has also bcen planned of the
composition and physical characieris-
ties OF the various papers. containing
either mechanical or chemical wood
pulp. which are found on the American
market The ultimate object of this
work Is the establishment OF a paper
testing laboratory similar to that now
being operated by the German Govern
ment at Berlin. The necessity OF such
laboratory is apparent when 1t is
considered that practically all official
publications are now printed on such
paper and that the life of wood pulp
papers Is, IN general. very brief. The
need OF certain standards Is self-evi-
dent, and it is hoped to establish and
enforce these for American papers, at
least where they are furnished TO the
Government.
A second line of investigation which
Is in contemplation relates TO the chem.
ical composition and physical proper.
ties OF American tanned sole leather
Another viii look into the adulteration
Of turpentine, which Is said TO be prac.
ticed extensively. with benzine and
rosin oil
In connection with the methods OF
kiln drying lumber which are now ex-
tenslvely practiced, the "dendro.chemi-
,ai' laboratory has been requested to
make study of the effect of dry and
moist heat on the physical properties
Of various woods. The information Sc.
cured In this investigation will be OF
practical value in connection with the
use Of lumber in buildings. This work
aas been held in allegiance until appro-
priate testing machines can be oh.
lalned, and it is then proposed 10 CO.

pllcation and effect Of wood preserya-
