CHEAP FUEL IN GERMANY.
Briquettes Made of Peat and the Dust
and Waste OF Coal Mines
Generally Used.

: Among the several branches of
German industry which deserve the
attention of Americans by reason of
their economy, their recovery or util-
ization of some raw material which
exists unused in this country, or be-
cause they invoke the most intelli
gent application of scientific knowl-
edge to technical processes, may be
reckoned the manufacture of bril-
quettes from brown coal, peat and
the dust and waste of coal mines.
Briquettes form the principal do
nestle fuel of Berlin and other cities
and districts in Germany; they are
used for locomotive and other steam
firing, and are employed for heating
in various processes of manufac ture.
For all these uses they have three
tangible advantages: They are clean
and convenient to handle; they light
easily and quickly, and burn with
clear, intense flame; they make prac-
tically no smoke, and are, withal, the
cheapest form of fuel for most pur-
poses.
Like most other important German
industries, the briquette manufac-
ture is controlled by IA syndicate
which includes among its members
thirty-one firms and companies. or
more than nine-tenths of all the pro-
ducers in the country, and regulates
the output and prices for each year.
From the official report of the syndi-
cate for 1901. which has recently APP
peared, it is learned that the tntal
output during last year was l,566,3s5
tons, to which is to be added the
product of makers outside the syn
dictate, consumed at works, small re-
tail sales, etc, making grand total
of 1,643,416 tons.
The average selling price in large
quantities was $3.l6 ton,
