some interesting facts, particularly re-
lating to the estimated receipts for
the general fund of the current bien-

when a comparison is made with a

penditures, possibly gaining little.

BilIiOnS-Will Take the
Place of Coal.

Experiments with bog peat by ex-
perts of the Cnhed States geological
survey are expected to produce from
the marshes of the United States a
new fuel to take the place of the
rapidly disappearing coal supply.
Peat is utilized in Europe for de-
velpoinG light. heat and power, but
no serious attempt has ever been
made in this country to take ad-
vantage of the vast deposits that dot
the country. These deposits, on a
basis of 50 ton, are estimated 10
have a valuation of more than $685.
0OO, 900, 000-a greater sum than is
represented by all the property. stock,
implements and buildings owned by
the farmers OF the United States.
The Government has been aroused
by the wasteful manner in which the
coal OF the country has been used,
and thorough investigation is be-
ing mace to discover other means of
developing power. The Department of
tie Interior only few days ago an
ncunced the withdrawal from entry
of several hundred thousand acres Of
