ELECTRICAL POWER FROM PEAT,
Ireland's Boys Likely to Prove Source
Of Vast Wealth.

From peat TO electrical power is the
story OF a new enterprise In Ireland.
The scheme Is TO erect central sta
ton upon the Grand canal -phnnt- -
miles from Dublin. 10 produce blast fur.
mace gas from the peat which will drive
huge gas engines. these IN turn pro.
pellipg electric generators OF sufficient
capacity to furnish electrical energy
over Kings county and kildare. The
process 20 be exploited Is that OF a
German inventor. whose large factory
near Munich has been operating sue.
cessfully for about two years. Peat
containing as much as 30 per cent.
moisture can be used satisfactorily.
the moisture becoming an essential
ingredient OF the water gas and pre-
venting too rapid combustion. An
elaborate plant is TO be Installed for
by-produots, such as sulphate of am
monia, tars, and tar oils. etc, which
In themselves are Of appreciate
commercial value. In the German fac
tory the process Is OF & dual nature.
Peat from which 75 per cent. Of the
moisture can be eyaporated is con
yerted into peat coke, which is used
as fuel IN the German navy and
many industrial concerns, while the
raw material, which retains half its
moisture, is for producing the gas
from which the by-products are ex-
tracted

NATURE AS A FAkER.
Sometimes Deeeives Even the Trained
Eye Of the Scientist.

On the so-called Table Mounds OF
Iowa are numerous Impressions OF
what look exactly like cloven feet II
is not surprising that superstitious
people should attribute them to the
devil, taking his walks abroad. though
as a matter OF fact, they are not foot.
prints OF any kind whatsoever. but
merely weather.won impressions left
by species of mollusk-like animal
known to science as pentamerus.
To the Smithsonian institution not
long ago somebody sent from the Bad
Lands OF Nebraska what purported to
be fossil ham. II did In very truth
look like ham. and, to render the
verlsimilitude complete. the bone was
actually sticking out at one end OF II.
Nevertheless, an investigation showed
that the alleged bone was In reality
"vacullte"-an extinct mollusk' s
shell, rodlike in form-and the rest
OF the ham" was a mere accidental
agglomeration of stony stun.
One day, quite recently, young
man walked into the National museum
at Washington and presented to the
anthropologist In charge a petrified
foot. 1t was received with many
thanks, though recognized at a glance
as waterworn fragment OF rock
which had accidentally assumed O
shape resembling a foot.
Such chance limitations as these fire.
quently occur in nature. Another one
deposited In the same institution, was
supposed by the finder to be a petrlfled
oyster. II looks as II on the hall
