New Use for the Potato.


The use Of potato alcohol to furnish

developed very rapidly, and to a very
high degree in Germany. Germany
produces about IS, 00O, 900 tons Of pota-
toes a year. and uses for human food,
stock food and starch only about 49,
100000 tons. The remainder Is con
verted into, alcohol, and used as q
power generator for both land and wa
ter motors. and for cooking. heating
and lighting. The alcohol vapor is
burnt like gas IL chandeliers and street
lamps. and gives very bright light.
In districts distant from mines 1t is
cheaper than coal. It Is claimed that
q ton Of potatoes will generate as much
candle power or horse power as q ton
