Advantage Of the Pipe Over othsr
systems Employed
The importance Of u good signal sys.
TEN at shaft and slope mines has often
failed to receive the attention 1t de-
serves. says the Coal Age. The CON-
mon method formerly employed for
transmitting signals between the en-
CINE room and the shaft or slope bot
tom or from the mine opening to the
inside workings was that by which a
gong was sounded by pulling q wire
or by making an electrical connection
through a wire conductor.
The defects and petty annoyances
arising from these systems are nu
merous. Wires are broken or false
signals are given by falling material
coming in contact with the wire or by
some one meddling with the wire by
which the signal Is transmitted. The
spirit Of mischief. always prevalent
among irresponsible men and boys in
mines. has resulted. in some instances.
in serious accident due to the meddling
with signal wires. which Is possible in
both Of the old systems Of signaling.
The pneumatic signaling system is
devoid Of all these defects and pos
sesses the further advantage that the
pipe line through which the signals are
transmitted can be made to serve as
a speaking tube. The system permits
Of no interruption or meddling at in
termediate points. except as the pipe
line may be broken by a heavy fall.
A pneumatic system Of signals proper
ly installed is practically free from
any expense for maintenance during
the life of the mine.

position. allowing air to remain in the
bucket.
When the water freezes the extra
pressure that would otherwise BE- ex-
erted on the walls Of the tank instead
acts on the air in the bucket. which is
compressed. and thus the tank is re-
lieved. An iron or tin bucket would
rust out in the water. and for this
it is best to use a copper bucket.

USE OF PEAT IN CANADA.
Experiments Indicate lts Value 40
Coal Substitute.

Coal Substitute.
The experimental work conducted by
the Canadian government in regard to
the manufacture of peat proved so sue
cessful that there are now two private
concerns producing peat, one at Alfred,
Ont. and the other at Farnham. Que
bee. 1t Is said that the peat manufac-
tured by the Canadian government and
used by private persons is satisfactory
for CRATES and also good for cooking.
The government commission which
was sent to various European peat
using countries reported that the most
successful way to treat the peat was
to let the sun and wind evaporate the
moisture. After the government had
shown the practicability of producing
a good quality Of peat at a salable
price it was left to private enterprise
to continue the work. The peat is sold
in Ottawa at S. a ton or So a ton on
the cars at Alfred.
The Canadian government in connec
ton with the peat industry will expert
ment in the production Of gas and cleo
trical energy from peat. At the fuel
testing plant in Toronto the govern
ment has a sixty horsepower gas pro-
Queer engine that Is operated from the
peat. Should the present experiments
be successful sections of the central
peat producing districts Of Canada
where water power is not available
will be able to obtain power from a
series of these gas producer engines

That just TO her made me glad:
She spoke in accents sweet and rare.
And praised the talent that I had;
The admiration in her look
Awoke my pride and made me strut:
I gave to her my latest book.
Its precious pages still uncut
She took II with such pure delight
That pleasure fingered in my breast:
thanked the gods that I could write
And that the book contained my best;
She held IL as precious thing
Indeed, she pressed It to her heart.
And set my own heart nuttering
By sweetiy dwelling on my art
She was so graceful. so sublime
That was filled with sudden Joy;
Ny cares took flight and for time
was again blushing boy;
She sweetly spoke about the glee
That presently should be her own
In coming my brave lines when she
Could be unhindered and alone.
