Curious Fire Enqine,

What might be described as a dou-
ble-tandem bicycle, with four wheels ar
ranged like those of a wagon, and four
seats for riders, two in front and two
behind, and carrying a hose reel, ro-
tary pump, etc, was exhibited recently
in Paris. The machine is intended as
a fire engine in small towns. When
the scene of fire is reached the pedals
are thrown into gear with the pump,
the hose is unrolled, and the riders, re-
suming their seats, work the pump by
means of the pedals. 1t is claimed
that this machine can outstrip any fire
engine drawn by horses on the way to
d con1agration, and that its pump is
ut least as effective as those of the
hand engines used in many towns.

The Best Club.

A golfer dropped into a New York
store to buy a driver. "This club is
off balance" he remarked to the clerk
as he juggled a nice-looking brassie.
"That is splendid club. Let me
have it, please" said the clerk nerv.

shopper The manager, an old frienu
Of the golfer, happened along just
then.
Bill" asked the customer, what
the deuce is the matter with this
club? Just heft the darned thing.
It's all off balance"
Bill looked wise and he looked all
around carefully, then he replied in a
stage whisper: "Pete, that is the best
club in the bag. 1t holds just two
drinks Of hooch. See, here, how the
handle is followed out"
And Scotland was indicated.

2. The designation OF a competent,

to do research work in the eXamina-
ton and analysis of the data from
which the estimates are evolved.
g. The proper Correlating of weather

By JAMES P. HoRNADAY

( Washington,-The United States ge-
| illogical survey, the bureau of mines
and the bureau Of standards are watch
Ing with keen interest the development
Of process by persons not connected
with the government service for utiliz-
ing raw or wet peat for power pur-
/ poses. The process, it is asserted, has
| been developed to a point where sue
cess is reasonably assured. The I'M
dertaking Is to convert the moisture
content and the cOmbustible content
Of peat into steam and gas by means
of pressure engine.
Reports have recently been made to
the three government bureaus above
| mentioned that engineers appear to
have discovered: % That peat Of a
high water content can be burned in
definitely as q fuel and used for all the
power processes of a manufacturing
plant; (2) that water in the peat is an
asset and not liability; (3) that 80
cents worth Of peat will produce as
much power as n ton of bituminOus
coal; "a that the process would re-
cover large per cent of by-products,
including coke ammonia, light and
heavy oils and tar for dye base !;
(5) that other carbOnaCeOus fuels
might be employed The same as peat
The government experts in the geo
logical survey, the bureau of mines
and the bureau of standards say that
if the process that is being developed
turns out successfully, the effect will
he 10 turn to commercial uses the i'm
mense peat beads which are TO be
found in some twenty states. The larg-
est of these beds, according to the geo
logical survey are in Minnesota, Wis
consn, the Dakotas, Michigan and In
diana. The lake beds in northern Indi.
ana are nearly all composed of peat.
Vast Quantities of Peat.
1t Is estimated by the bureau of
mines that the peat available in the
United States is approximately 1900
100000 tons, and that about half of
this amount is in Minnesota. 1t has
also been estimated that there are be-
tween two and three billion tons of
peat available in the state of Wiscon-
sin. The total swamp area of the
United States, exclusive of Alaska, is
about 1880 square miles. The geo.
logical survey estimates that 8 per
cent of this area has peat beds of good
quality The depth of peat over this
vast area is assumed to average at
least nine feet, giving 200 tons of dry
fuel per acre for each foot of depth.
The geological survey has for many
years been calling attention to the
enormous supply of peat--a supply
that thus far has practically remained
untouched-and has all along main
tanned that the time would come when
this supply would be utilized as a sub
stitute for coal and fuel oil. From time
to time the survey has asked the con-
gress for money with which to expert
ment with the use of wet peat as we'll
rs dry peat, but the legislative body
has never shown any interest in these
requests, and 80 1t remained for engi-
nccrs in their private capacities to
Take UP the work.

Present Methods Revised.

At the Department of Agriculture 1t
was stated that the committee had re-
ported favOrably upon the methods
employed by the government report
ing system in determining the acreage
under cultivation and the probable
yield. The system was said to be
Thoroughly sound and the bureau
was generally commended. However,
the statisticians, after personally re-
viewing the data upon which the pre-
! liminary estimates of the condition Of
the crop were based suggested that
there should be additional clerical as
| siStance and lifting Of certain duties
| from the shoulders of those who are
charged with making the broader sur.
veyS
1t was suggested that the field Of
| fees should he strengthened by afford
ing additional help for the statisti-
clans, who are responsible for the est.
mates as to the yield in their respec-
tive states Il was pointed out that
the one clerical assistant did not seem
to provide adequate help in handling
the stream of reports and other in
formation which flows into the office
1t was recommended that there
should be at least one experienced
statistician, who might devote his en-
tire time to the supervision of these
crop reports without being required
to undertake any administrative work.
Mr. Estabrook stated that the COM
mittee expressed the belief that
more substantial travel allowance
should he afforded to permit the field
statisticianS to get first-hand Informal
ton from observing the growing crops
Financial Deficiency Overcome.
on July l an appropriation of 500,
600 became available for the develop
ment of the live stock reporting sys-
TEN. While this money will be spent
to insure a more dependable estimate
of live stock, it will be of some indi
rect aid to the crop reporting service.
With these new funds each field
statisticlan will have two clerical as
sistants instead of one. The same
field statistician will be utilized, how
ever Sufficient funds have been pro-
vided to make it possible for the field
agents to travel over the territory i'm
their states, it was added. so that this
I deficiency, which was assigned as the
/ principal cause for the 1921 crop
blunder, has been overcome.
1t is planned to bring one or more
Of the most expert field Statistlcians
TO Washington to serve in the central
office. The department will insist that
! they spend the entire time in develop
/ ing the technique or the finer points,
/ Of the system. There is to be mt least
/ one research statistician, who will not
be concerned with anything other than
the examination ana analysis Of the
, data.
1t is recognized, the head of the
crop reporting system said, that not
enough has been done TO work out
what the effect of weather is upon
crop yields. A technical statistlcian
is to be assigned to the task of cor
relating the effect of this and other
factors upon the results that ulti-
mately obtain. This IL precise study,
according to the official view, and of
fers perhaps the most interesting pos
s'bilities Of the various refnements
suggested.
