IRELAND'S WEALTH IN PEAT

south or west of Ireland in the sum-
mer get a Whit OF the countryside in
their own drawing rooms in Dublin
during the winter by using turf IN
stead Of coal in their fires. There are
quite a number of houses OF which this
is true, not only in Bublin, but even
in so-called Orange Belfast.
However, all this consumption OF
peat is a mere trihe compared with
the consumption of coal. What is now
being discussed is the possibility OF
using peat as a substitute for coal.
Ireland would be the Weather by
thousands Of millions Of dollars II its
peat bogs could be turned to account
on a sound commercial basis. The
area of bog in Ireland is nearly 1,OOO,-
900 acres, or about per cent. of the
surface of the country. The Bog of
Allen stretches across the great CEN
tral plain, and in the west of Ireland
there are districts in which peat Gov
ers from 20 to 30 per cent of the en-
tire surface.
Most OF this peat area is at present
lying waste. Two or three companies
make peat moss litter in comparative
ly small quantities. and in very re-
mote districts the turf is cut and used

NATION SAVED BY A SPIDER
Scotland Prohted by the Lesson the
Insect Taught TO lts
Monarch.

Scotland has many legends that the
sheepherders and highland peasants
never get tired repeating. A long time
ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland
before that country became a part OF
England, and he learned lesson from
a spider that enabled him 10 succeed
when otherwise he would have failed.
King Bruce had lost many battles
He was discouraged. He had made
his final EFFORT against his enemies
and failed to vanqulsh them. Deep In
despair he went TO a lonely room In
his castle. Reclining on the couch
and thinking, he happened to notice
spider drop from the ceiling on a
single silken cord. He watched the
spider fascinatedly. It now began its
ascent It slipped Time and time
again 1t tried to mount, but each time
It failed. The king watched intently,
forgetful Of all else. An hour passed.
Finally the spider succeeded. 1t was
an inspiration for King Bruce. Why
should he get discouraged, having
tried only few times and failed? He
made one last grand rally against his
enemies and routed them, and from
this incident came the old saying, IF
at first you don't succeed try again" >"

al fuel by the farmers. With the ex'
coption of the more or less artificial
use OF turf already referred to, these
are the only uses to which peat is ap
piled in Ireland.
The methods of preparing peat for
fuel are very primitive and would
have to be changed completely to
make peat fuel real competitor with
coal. An attempt was made some
years ago to make turf briquettes, but
the scheme. though it promised we'll,
did not turn out as successfully as
was expected and the company, like
the turf itself, crumbled to pieces. The
moisture was squeezed out Of the peat
by compression and the briquettes
when fresh seemed to be Just the
thing that was wanted, but whatever
defect there was in the preparation OF
them they were not able to stand the
knocking about they got in the rail-
road wagons and canal boats.
The problem of making peat
briquettes that can travel by train
without falling to pieces has, however,
since been solved in Sweden and in
other countries and this fact has given
announcement to Irishmen to take
the matter up again. The coal strike
has brought the question within the
range of practical things as nothing
else could have done.

are anchovies; for Enkhuizen owed
a great part OF its prosperity TO the
anchovy fisheries.
II is generally supposed that the
anchovy is caught exclusively in the
Mediterranean sea, 30 II comes as a
surprise to most people to hear that
It Is so largely caught on the coasts
Of Holland. Dutch fishermen have
been familiar for ages with the fact
that the anchovy comes up in great
shoals at certain times OF the year
and enters the Zuyder zee 10 spawn.
There have, however. been consider
able lapses OF time when no anchovies
at all appeared, and when 1t was
feared that the Dutch fisher folk had
lost their means OF earning a liveli-
hood. then, suddenly. without any APP
parent reason, the shoals OF fish again
became regular visitors. These last
few years the anchovy has been par
ucularly plentiful Many a Zuyder zee
fisherman has made his living for the
whole year during the anchovy sea-
son, which lasts from six TO eight
weeks, and as much as 1000 forms
($400) worth have been known to be
taken in a single day.
Formerly the method OF capturing a
shoal Of anchovy consisted in stretch
ing an enormous net with small mesh
es between two boats. This net
touched the sea bottom. Then the
boats hoisted sail and the more wind
there was the better pleased were the
hshermsn. They sailed on for a while
and then when the net was lifted It
contained thousands Of silvery fishes
Later on they preferred to fish with
stationary nets, because more fish
could be caught in that way. Each
hsherman places his own nets in a
certain part OF the sea, and after a
while comes to see whether they have
been filled with fish.
Ihe anchovy brings plenty OF work
Tor many another category OF persons
than the regular fishermen. For the
hsh have to be cleaned, salted and
packed into casks. The cleaning is
done almost exclusively by women and
children, the sailing occupies the
"salter" and the making Of the many
casks employs a little army Of coop
ers. Then the packing is also done
by experienced hands in such a way
that the anchovy can be kept for many
years without spelling.
The herring fishers also often Sc
cure millions of anchovy near the
coasts OF Holland. For as soon as
they perceive a shoal coming their
way they will fix anchovy netting into
their herring nets, and so often Sc
cure almost miraculous hauIs.
The anchovy is a small fish. the full
grown specimen being only fifteen CEN
timeters (5.9 inches) long. The back
of this fish is blush and the under
parts are white, glistening like silver
