peat machines are used to dig the
peat, but the product should not be
confused with machine peat" the
term used to designate peat that after
being dug has been subjected to / pro
cess of grinding or macerating and
pressing before it is fastened into
bricks.
Peat, when manufactured into tuel
by machinery, is sc efficient that it is
actually preferred 20 coal by many
residents of foreign countries. In Hol-
land, for instance, the best grade OF
nLchine peat sells a. prices ranging
from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton, and yet
rGsny Of the residents buy it for do
nestle use in preference to coal which
Is Obtainable at on'y 81 per ton. In
Holland, by the way, the trausporta-
ton of peat is carried on almost Who'll

subjected to rough handling.
It's employment as fuel by no means
exhausts the properties and useful
ness of peat. Only recently Denmark
and other countries have undertaken
experiments looking to the manufac-
ture of alcohol from peat, and in Ire
land and elsewhere, ammonia is made
from peat. Tanning materials have
been obtained in Europe from peat
as have likewise brown dyes, and
this versatile material is also being
employed as fertilizer.

LONDON MAY SOON
eEcoME sMoKELEss

LONDON, April 2O.-The conjunc-
ton of the coal strike with the hold
ings of the International Smoke and
Fog Abatement Exhibition has caused
great revival of interest in the cam
paign for a smokeless London.
In the matter of smokelessness Lon
don has made enormous strides in late
years. This has been due mainly to
the use of gas and electricity for fuel
and power, the stringent rules of the
metropolitan authorities and the In
creaslng use of steam heat with the
consequent reduction in waste smoke.
Some of the experts at the exhibition
are predicting that within twenty
years London will become as clear
as rural England.

GIRL WILL
BE HARPoONER OF WHALES

CHRISTIANIA, April 2O.-When the
pioneers of womep's freedom started
out to win sex equality they did not
reckon whale hunting among the pur-
suits suitable for feminine aspirants
to independence. That is why Miss
Hjordis Jugebrigtsen is ahead of the
feminist game.
She was born by the sea, and her
father has been a whale hunter since
1866. His record of captures runs to
close on $4,000 whales, and his name
is known among hunting men from
the North Cape to Portuguese South
Africa.
She has passed her apprenticeship
for several times she has accompanied
the boats and has become an expert
shot. She is only twenty years old
and despite her daring pursuits she
remains a tender-hearted and gentle
girl.

board.
While the Agricultural Board has
been looking around, considering the
practicability of the proposal, the
captain, in conjunction with his friend,
Sir Gilbert Greenall, has decided to
start breeding establishments and
has settled on one of the most pleas
and picturesque spots in the whole of
Ireland-Mount Coote, near Kilmal-
lock. in County Limerick.
This is another reason for the
pleasing reflection that while Irish
landlords are deserving Ireland quite
a number of American and English
business men are taking their place,
whose operations, it is hoped, will
have different effect on the temper
of the people and the national pros
perity of the country. Captain Spend
er-Clay's experiences of the South
African war taught him that Irish
horses were superior to any others
for military purposes.

HELSINGFORS, April 2O.-Every

on the part of Russian officials
charged with the justification Of Fin

steady succession OF dismissals and

DELICATE OPERATIONS BY
SURGEONS OF ANCIENT TIME

LONDON, April 20.-There is no
doubt that some rough form of surg.
cry must have existed from very an.
cient times, but It is strange to find
that SO complex and delicate an oper-
alton as trepanning is one Of the old
est. So far as actual records go, Hip
pocrates gives us the earliest account.
He wrote treatises on fractures, dis
locations and wounds of the head, In
which he described the method OF pro
cedure to be followed in the case OF
a fractured skull. His direction was to
cut away a piece OF bone 30 that the
pressure on the brain might be re-
lieved. There are also records about

used for this purpose, which at time
