Wilmington, N. G. Reports from nearly all the
Northern States show wonderful awakening -
the value OF peat as fuel and have reports
from California, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and
Massachusetts as to It's daily increasing use and
value.
peat as steam, gas or domestic fuel will not only
displace coal and OIL but will prove greater
source OF wealth than naval stores to day, and
that In less than ten years. Can II be mOnop,p
lized? That Is the question every capitalist has
put to me that nave solicited for financial help
No then don't want It. In spite Of the fact that
nine out Of ten of the proposed monopoes collapse
before they are fairly launched and that the other
ten per cent are to day kept busy burning up their

What Is this peat? 1t Is q vegetable deposit or

OF decay and then the decay Is arrested and a new
growth apparently OF lower nature begins.
It's preservative powers have been proved by
the discovery of carcases OF animals swallowed ZIP

Late experiments with peat show Il to be far

James j. Hill, who Is supposed to know some

musical verse flows also from MS pen. his ap
pearance emphasizes the fact that this Is indeed
the day OF the young man, for he IS still some
years from thirty, Notwithstanding these notable
achievements.
OF his mission in Florida Mr.. Barry talks little
necessarily He has no feeling based upon Q per-
sOnai opinion of the question he is engaged IN In
vestigating having the real journalists gift OF
looking dispassionately and impersonally upon
the matter In hand seeing and seizng the heart Oh

give the truth and we do not, Intentionally, mis-
leau, but, not the play hut the story's' the

During the few days that Mr.. Barry spent In
Tallahassee he had several conferences with off,
cials at the State house and rather lengthy In
terview with the Governor as to the facts OF the
existence of peonage and the conditions OF labor
in the South and in FLORIDA particularly out Of
which this thing. II 1t does exist has grown.
Mr. Barrys last big story" was OF the San
Francisco earthquake. He reached San Francisco
the day after the fire and his story OF the great
disaster, especially OF the days succeeding the
calamity, was one OF the finest inspired by II,
though stories and descriptions innumerable were
sent out.
The thing that especially impresses one in con-
nection with Mr.. Barry's work Is the maturity of
It, the large grasp, the wide vision. the under
standing, shown by so young man. II the past
Is earnest OF the future then one may look for
wonderful work from this young Californian in
coming days. He has gone, In Ave years. from

into the prominent papers OF all OF The most I'M

London Times, Paris Figaro New York Herald,
and others. It was the story OF Port Arthur In
fullest detail, anu with 1t We're the records or his
four months with the Japanese army, the assaults,
the sieges the army resources.--all that had been
mysterious and unexplained was seen with most
observant eye and described with a most graphic
pen. Four hundred pictures and hundred thous-
and words OF description he had and this included
such evidently thorough knowledge of all phases
OF the subject that young Barry's reputation was
firmly established and Golfers Magazine sent
nim on trip round the world to see and to de-
scr..e for 1t the situation in each OF the European
countries with regard to. the possibilities or the
probabilities of war. Leaving the Japanese army
after his exhaustive study of It's engagement with
Russian arms, Mr.. Barry journeyed into the In
terror OF China, then to Hong.Kong, thence to
India. In India he accompanied the Prince of
Wales and his suite on their famous tour through
that deeply interesting and wonderful land. In
every part OF the globe that he visited he was
studying conditions with the trained eye OF the
professional observer and writing his Impressions
for Golfers Magazine and for syndicates that
made his work known wherever English is read
The Scientific American published his article on
the technical side OF the Japanese war in which
he analysed the very art of war, what methods
and what manner, what new inventions and what
use of old, were to be seen among this people
