which he could exercise with much his party had
not bitterly condemned his predecessor for the policy initiative
Any party needs strong and masteru leadership or else
Congress will be torn with the rival claims of factions sections
and will get nothing done.
The present Congress in its uneguated condition got
self into such ange that being seriously proposed to adj

1TAcTILIsM" THE LATEST ART
Pictures Can Be "seen" by Touch, 10
Declaration Made by inventor
Of New Fad.

Among the things that shave their
day and cease to be-" artistic extrav.
agances hold prominent place. The
wild vagaries Of impressionists, Gu.
bists and futurists one by one eclipse
what has gone before.
"Tactilism" Is the name Of q new
art invented by Signor Marinett, the
Italian futurist, who, recently, to q
large audience Of painters, art critics
and society people In Paris, explained
its principles. It Is a method Of con.
yeying impressions through the sense
Of touch, (which has hitherto been
neglected by the arts"
Marinetti told how he had tried to
establish a series Of conventions,
which could be easily learned, by
which different touches would bring
forth definite ideas. For instance,
something rough, .spiky and hot to the
touch would give the idea of the
Sahara. The seas would be conjured
up by something smooth and cold. like
silver paper, and Paris by mixture
Of silk and velvet. It is an evidence
Of the readiness Of the day to take
up anything new that this adventur-
Gus futurist pioneer Is now the lion Of
the season. He intends to be In Paris
for some weeks, but has already re-
ceived 30 many invitations to attend
fashionable receptions and evening
parties that he confesses that he hard
ly knows how to cram In all his ap-
pointments.

Use Of Peat - Fuel.

Few have realized that peat might
'eplace coal and break to a large ex.
tent the dependence Of some Of the
aorthern states upon distant coal
mines.
For several months q Minneapolis
company has been engaged In the prep
aration Of peat for fuel, said to be the
only enterprise Of Its kind In the coun-
ny. A machine has been perfected that
digs, macerates and spreads out to dry
700 tons Of wet peat in a day, or q
quantity sufficient to produce 100 tons
Of dry fuel. That's how much peat
contracts in the drying process. One
nan operates the machine.
During the summer the machine was
operated on bog near Minneapolis,
and peat, processed at the University
Of Minnesota, was burned with satls-
factory results In Minneapolis Office
building.
A crusher plant, with a capacity Of
500 tons Of peat a day, has been built
In Minneapolis during the winter to
produce powdered peat, and in the
spring ten peat digging machines are
to be started on the Minnesota bogs.
