THE LAND OF HOPE
Happy and free, fair Iowa,
Dreaming meath autumn's gaze,
How oft you lead my eye to stray
And hold my love.lit gaze
1t seems eternal life is near,
/ doubt the power of death
When you are whispering in my ear
With flower-scented breath.
MAN WAS MADE TO MOURN, was sung
10 the fumes of dying ale
A poor life with despair was stung
And sent forth this sad wall.
For who among these fields of corn
And flocks of happy kline
Does not feel sure that he is borne
Along by arms Divine?
Man was made to drink in Joy,
Else why, amid these scenes,
For happiness without alloy
Did God place ample means?
We're climbing up sunny slope.
High up on which is seen
Sweet amaranthine blooms of hope \
Meath skies calm and serene.

PEAT AS FUEL.
New York Sun.

ANtW IOlh gun.
Germany has vast fields of peat
containing q large proportion of com.
bustible material and it has worried
the economists and scientists of the
empire FOR years that the use of turf
as fuel was steadily declining. This
has been due, of course. to the supe-
rior qualities OF coal, and especially u
the troublesome process of drying the
peat to fit il for fuel after il had
been cut.
Now. it is believed all the draw
backs have been overcome and there
Is going to be serious boom in the
use of turf for fuel for industrial pur-
poses Frof. A. Frank of Charlotten.
burg made the first step.
He proposed to utilize the peat by
converting 1t into gas. and he demon
strated that for this purpose it was en-.
tirely unnecessary to dry it, water
being in fact principle ingredient
i'll the up-to-date manufacture OF gas
for Illuminating purposes.
Next came DR.. N. Caro-, a colleague
of Prof. Frank. He greatly improved
the type OF generator by which the
gas is produced. He brought these to
such perfection that in some expert,
ments made with his apparatus at
Stockton. England, coaldust, sawdusi
and peat containing 90 To SO per cent
in weight OF water was turned into
commercial gas, while valuable by
products, including large percentage
of sulpbate OF amonia, were secured
from the peat.
The experiments to date indicate
that from about 1900 pounds of turf
as cut about $500 feet of gas can be
distilled, capable OF developing 600
theoretical horse power hours when
used for mechanical purposes through
the medium OF u gas engine. The
cost of cutting the turf is, OF course,
small, and If power plants are set up
near the peat bogs the cost of moving
the weight of water 1t contains is neg.
ligible. The ammonian byproducts can
be utilized in the manufacture OF fer.
tilixers.
Several considerable plants are said
to be contemplated In various parts OF
the country.
