Mr.. Peter Ballet of Wauchula, is
in the city for a few days on visit
to relatives. He has just returned
from a trip to Stanton and other
points in Pennsylvania, to visit the
scenes of his young manhood. Mr.
Ballet went west some thirty years
ago and has now been resident OF
Florida for two years, this being his
first return to the old keystone
state since leaving there is the
eighties. While in the north Mr.
Ballet did not overlook the oppor-
tunity of telling his former neigh
bors that Florida is the best state in
the Union for a man of moderate
means, and he is expecting a NUM-
Der of them to visit him this fall
and winter to look over Marion
county properties, which he consid-
ers the best in the state.

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT

Walter Scott, a white lad, ten
years old, fell out of a tree at his
home in Oxford last week and in
catching himself on his hands broke
both bones in his arms at the wrist.
One of the breaks was so severe as
to drive the broken bones into the
ground. The boy was brought to
the hospital Saturday where the ply
sicians are giving him every atten-
ton and hope to save the use of his
arms.

Using Peat In Germany.

Peat coke in Germany is proving
serviceable in many ways. 1t is not
only valuable for generating cleo
tricity at moorIand stations, but is
much used by blacksmiths and for va
rious metallurgical purposes, espe-
cially as a substitute for charcoal
in producing high-grade iron. A new
turf-cooking plant at Elizabeth-Fehn,
Oldenburg, converts 80 tons of peat
into nine of coke, with gas and tar
as by-products. Specially-designed
ovens are used and the gas generated
is made to heat the retorts and to
generate electric current to drive
the peat dredging machines. The
tar yields creosote oil, gas oil, par
atm, sulphuric acid and ammonia

Chinese As EnaIneers.

1t was for years supposed that
when China was once opened to rail-
way construction many opportunities
for profitable employment would oc-
cur there for European and American
engineers But these opportunities
are fast dwindling away, China has
followed the example of japan, and
in carrying out the works of western
civilization which il is so rapidly
adopting, it is as far as possible put
ting the work in charge Of Chinese
engineers, many of whom have been
educated in the best schools of Europe
and the United States.-Engineering
