According to figures gathered
by the survey there are in this
country peat boys aggregating
100000 acres and averaging
nine feet deep. In Ohio, in Trum-
bull, Summit. Shelby, Darke and
other counties. there are extensive
Dogs that produce excellent fuel
peat; in Michigan there are boys
yielding 2400 tons of peat to the
acre, while in Florida and eIse-
where there are other great
stretches of bog suitable for fuel.
Europe uses 100000 tons of
peat annually. mostly for domes-
tic purposes. There they are be-
ginning. however. to use it for
supplying power for electric
plants. II is especially fitted for
supplying fuel for gas producing
internal combustion power plants.
and It is this way the future of
peat lies. American peat won't be
sun dried at home. as is the peat
OF the Irish cotter, but it will be
scientifically dried and compress
ed into bricks and used for maxi
Ing gas. which in turn will be
used for driving motors which
VIII drive dynamos for the pro-
duetion Of power and heat for
distribution.
Prof. Davis of the geological
survey believes that the time is
near at hand when cities located
near peat boys win establish pow
er plants close to the boys and
use peat for city lighting and
heating. Already plans have been
drawn for such plant to supply
power to Jacksonville, Fla, ana
work on this plant will be begun
soon.

wanted to hurt her baby, so she
ran at him with lowered horns.
Quickly Randel stepped up and
speaking softly led her away. The
prince passed safely through the
field to the enchanted forest.
Here they slept, but in the morn
ing to their surprise, they found
they were surrounded by bramble
bushes. The prince tried to cut
his way out but could not. 1t was
Randel who seized the golden
sword and easily made path.
They went slowly, for the limbs of
the trees hindered them.
At last they came to very high
iron gate. The prince tried to open
it but could not, though RandeI
swung 1T open easily.
There was terrible roaring and
two lions jumped out at them.
But the cow came running from
the field and hit one of the lions
with her horns killing him, while
the other ran away with the prince
in his mouth. When the cow mooed
out of the castle tripped the prin-
cess and all the forest trees at
once became soldiers.
The princess kissed Randel and
called him prince and they had a
big wedding. They wanted to in
vite the other prince, but nobody
could find him.
