In slugging match IN which the

went down in ignominious defeat TO

were credited to the Tulsa Oilers and

Artificial Wood From Peat.

FROM fhe ScientiHc aHeAASoA.
Frequent attempts have been made to
use peat as raw material for the manufac-
ture of artificial wood. The material must,
for this purpose. be fully reduced to a
fbrous condition. SO as to produce hbrous

with an emulsion of two parts by measure
Of plaster OF Paris and ten to twelve of
water; and is subjected for considerable

A more simple process is to WASH the
peat. without destroying its natural nbrous
state. and to mix the resulting moist mass
with a mixture OF hydrated lime and an
aluminium compound las, for instance.
aluminium sulphate) and press 1t In moids
for a short time in the moist state, after
which the resulting plates are allowed 10
harden In the air. The resultant product
needs only a comparatively low pressure
and this for only short time; and Is then
set out to dry in the air. The resulting
artificial wood is not microscopic, and IN
order to use 1t for open-air work needs no
painting or further impregnation. In
view OF the fact that the pressing opera
ton takes only few minutes, consider
able quantities can be manufactured in
comparatively small space and time.
