 Peat =Boos in Ireland.

Ireland possesses 25,000,0OO acres sf neat boe-one-seventh the total area ef the island. Much of this peat ts concentrated in the center of the coU. try. in the Bog of Allen, but there ase also large tracts In other localities. To utilize this peat, not merely fer domestic use, but also for power pur' poses, is a problem which has exer- cised the minds of prominent Irishmss for many years, and the departmest of scientific and industrial research appointed a committee, with Sir Johs Griffiths of Dublin as chairman to la vestigate the whole question. Some successful attempts have already been made in Ireland to deal with the suA- stance on commercial basis, but any efforts to utilize the deposits must sl- ways have regard to three circun- stances-that peat contains and e- tains large amount of water that compared with other fuels, it has . low ealoric valLe, and that it is e.- tremely bulky, involving a high cset of carriage.

The intermittent method of sterill. zation calls for boiling vegetables in the water bath after they have been placed in the jars an hour each day for three days. This allows alternate periods of rest. in which the dormant resistance spores may lay off their heavy protective wall and begin active growths. In the growing state the bacteria are easily destroyed hy the next period of boiling. For quart and two-quart jars daily boiling of one and half to two hours is recom- mended.
