Frozen Fish Live for Years.

A live fish gradually frozen in cake
of ice does not die: ii merely suspends
all life processes When the ice meltS,
If it does so slowly the fish takes up
its vital activities again as If nothing
had happened This phenomenon. says
the University Of Washington News
Letter. was described by Prof +. Vic
tor Smith of the department Of 20
ology, in discussing Il recent announce
ment that q Swiss naturalist had re-
viyed frozen fish. There Is no reason
why q fish. If frozen in a cake of ice.
should not be revived even at the end
of ten years" said Professor Smith.
Gases Of frozen cold-blooded animals
are not uncommon. Frogs are many
times frozen for long periods of time,
and turtles will live even under ordi-
nary circumstances for year without
food" The process of freezing FISH
must be accompanied with the great
est care, he said. The temperature Of
the water must be reduced slowly in
the freezing process and must b. grad

experiment.

PEAT AS COAL SUBSTITUTE
Coming Much into Favor IN European
Countries Where Fuel Supply
Is Limited.

Europeans, paying unusually high
as Il substitute Germany has been
Swe,lens principal source Of supply,
and that source being cut of the state
railways IN that country have been
forced 70 curtail their schedules.
Peat is VIGOROUSLY one Of the cheap
est-as IT is one OF the most abundant
Of fuels. Lack Of suitable furnaces
for its consumption has hampered lis
use as ii did for long time that OF
the crude oil from the American Pc
troleum fields. Recent experiments IN
Sweden have proved that peat can be
made into cakes and used with econ
omy in Il proper burner.
A Maine man few years ago Sc
cured patents for turning peat into
briquettes which would produce a heat
as intense as that Of charcoal and
could be produced as cheaply as BIZ
luminous coal. while the by-prOductS
of manufacture would further reduce
the cost. The great advantage OF the
fuel thus produced is that it burns
with little ash or smoke, that Ii is
clean 10 handle and can be used in q
stove or furnace about as wood Is.
There are extensive peat beds all
over New England, and If this process
were put In operation the saving In
freight rates would make the peat
briquettes an economical form Of fuel.
