PEAT AS COAL SUBSTITUTE
Coming Much Into Favor in European
Countries Where Fuel Supply
10 Limited.

Europeans, paying unusually high
brices for coal, are turning to peat
as a substitute. Germany has beef
Sweden's principal source of supply,
and that source being cut off the state
railways in that country have been
forced to curtail their schedules.
Peat is notoriously one of the cheap
est-as 1t is one of the most abundant
6f fuels. Lack of suitable furnaces
For its consumption has hattibered its
use as 1t did for a 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 a proper burner.
A Maine man q few years ago Sc
cured patents for turning peat into
brlquettes which would produce a heat
MS intense as that Of charcoal und
e6Gld be produced as cheaplt DIS bl'
luminous coal, while the by-prOducts
of manufacture would further reduce
the cost. The great advantage of the
fuel thus produced is that 1t burns
with little ash or smoke, that 1t is
clean to handle and can be used in a
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.

GREAT DAM IN ANTIPODES
New South Wales Structure Has
catchment Area Of 5000
sdu6re Miles

"The first large scheme for water
conservation purposes in New South
Wales is now nearing completion"
says a Canadian department of com
merce report "Burrinjuck, Dam, as it
Is named, IS being constructed Of ce-
hient of which 10000 tohs--mangfac,
tured in New South tShles-has tehd
used up to date. The dam is being
placed in a narrow, rock gorge be-
tween hills 1000 feet high It will
hold up the Murrumbidgee river for
d1 miles and the GOodradigbee and
Yass rivers for 15 and 20 miles, ro-
speetively. Ali these rivers were sub
leet t6 foods 5nd running dry brevi-
btslY, but NOW b tOftsthfit supply Is
assured.
"The catchment area is 5000 squire
miles in extent, and some of the peaks
in the mountain ranges are 5000 feet
high and are covered with sh0# III the
winter. The average rainfall is 60 to
20 inches
"The dam will be 240 feet high and
1GS feet thick az the base, tnpering to
IS feet thick At the top. The length

The water will be allowed to reach 4
top storage level of 232 feet against
the dam, and it will be possible to
store 33,3S0,000,O0O gallons Of wafer.
Although the lain is not yet finished,
the water has been used extensively
for some time at the main area for
which 1t was principally Intended and
which Is known as the Yanko afea,
This area is situated 200 miles away
from the dam, and the water finds its
way there by the old bed 6t tie Mir

are now occupied, and 1t Is estimated
that when the areas are fully settled
there will be about 1000 farms and the
population will be about 100000, GOV;
