along the line of the work women
might do to improve the conditions OF
our streets and parks. Also repeats
the poem we published some weeks

taken up by the ladies and put into
practice. From our observation of the

In the discussion now going on ali
over the state in regard to the rights
and privileges of teachers it might be
well to look into the matter of their
relation to other occupations. The
position of a teacher is au honorable
one with grave responsibilities, and
the average pay is greater than that
OF almost any other occupation. The
TACT that it affords opportunity for
college students, or persons preparing
for the professions, to make more
money than they could in anv other
way, affects the relation of supply and
demand, and doubtless prevents a
monopoly of the business by profes
sional teachers, while the young ladies
who teach with the expectation of
giving it up when the right man an
pears make constant change in the
teacher force of any large school. The
average pay of male teachers in this
state is 1895 per annum, that of fe-
male teachers 1864. In this county
the average for males is 1862 and of fe-
males S554. The average of male
teachers in the country at large is
about 81 900, about double the average
OF ministers of the gospel and taking
twenty years from their start in ac-
tive business would exceed the average
OF the profession of law or medicine.
The state aids in the education of
teachers and it is a question whether
it should do.any more.

Utilizing It For Fuel.
Colonel John Jacob Aston, who has
appeared frequently on the patent Of
fee records as an inventor of practical
devices, has applied for patent for
an invention which, 1t is expected, will
utilize the vast deposits of peat found
in the United States and other parts
of the world. Peat has been used with
fair success as fuel, but because of
tile amount of water contained in 1t
a long season of drying is necessary
before it can be burned.
The vibrator disintegrator which has
been invented by Colonel Astor will,
commercial manufacture of gas from
peat. The disintegrator utilities the
expansive force of the air and gases
within the porous peat to disrupt and
disintegrate the latter and to permit
it to be thoroughly and uniformly
heated. The disintegrator will be
tested in peat fuel producer gas
plant which Colonel Aston is now
erecting at his country place at Rhine
cliff-on-the- Hudson, N. Y. The plant
will run a stone crusher and is to be
of 100 horsepower.
If the patent is allowed Colonel
Aston intends to present it to the pub
lie in the hope that it may prove Of
general use.
In the peat invention the gas gen
Grated may be supplied to an ordinary
internal combustion engine, the engine
muller being placed inside the gas
producer. The inventor recommends
a slow speed engine, so that the sue
cessive charges of exhaust gas Will
have time to produce the desired ex
pansion in the muffier. The engine
