DAYLIGHT and Sleep.

Opponents of the daylight saving
bill in England are not likely to go
as far as did those of the alteration
of the calendar, which took place in
the eighteenth century, This change
was made to bring England into line
with most other European countries
who had calculated leap-year differ
emily from them. The result was an
apparent loss of II days at the begin
ming of September, and in certain parts
of the country riots took place, dur
ing which the war cry of the insur-
gents was "Give us back our eleven
days." Theirs, of course, was a per-
manent loss, whereas those who now
object to being deprived of an hours
sleep on May 21 have the consolation
of knowing that they will get their
own back again in October.-Londor

START FERTILIZER
PLANT AT ARNHEIM

A new industry for the copper coun-
cry is to grow up in the Sturgeon
swamp between Bnraga and Hougbton
counties. The Fertile Chemical COM
pany of Cleveland, o., is to build q
fertilizer factory there.
A. M. Schoield of Cleveland. repre-
senting the Atlas Engineering company
of that city, arrived in Houghton We'd
nesday to begin preparations for the
construction work, for which his COM
pany has a contract. Work on the
building Of siding into the camp site,
two and half miles north Of Arnheim
has already been begun.
The object of this plant is to dig the
peat from the Sturgeon swamp, and to
turn it into a material that will be the
base Of mechanical fertilizer. The
swamp has an area of 6, 700 acres over
which the peat lies to depth of four
TO six feet, material enough to keep
the factory going night and day for
100 years.
The peat is composed almost wholly
of decayed vegetable matter, with q
small admixture of clay, sand or other
minerals. The factory dries the peat,
which is excavated with steam shovels,
brushes it and pulverizes it, the finished
material being in texture similar to
-four. The plant will turn out so to
100 tons day the year around. The
material goes to fertilizer factories,
which use it to mix.with actual ferti.
liking material.
The engineering company will employ
rs to 100 men on construction work,
which will be begun within two weeks.
The building to be erected includes the
factory proper and Incidental buildings,
large boarding house and number
of smaller dwellings,. A camp for the
construction crew will at first be cree
ted. .......
After the construction work is COM
pleted manufacturing will start at once
as the material is in great demand.
A force of 80 to 40 men will be en-
ployed constantly.
c.. F. Hancock, of Chassell, will be
the local manager for the chemical
company and he is now engaged in en-
ploying men for the construction work.
