BIG PEAT BED is
UNCOVERED BY SEA
Find Expected to Cut Cape
Cod Fuel Bills.

Boston. - Cape Cod folks have
solved the fuel problem for "a hard
winter" If successful, the coal bar
ons and middlemen, who have been re-
ceiving $40 the ton for the poor quail
ity of coal, will get jolt likely to
be long remembered.
In word, Cape Codders are to re-
turn to the peat-burning days of their
forefathers. utilizing recently discov-
cred peat deposit, estimated to yield
$4,000 tons, uncovered by the sea surf
on Nauset beach in Eastman.
The peat deposit is the greatest nat
ural wonder on Cape Cod. The peat
bed is within 800 feet of the ocean,
separated at low tide by the white,
sandy beach and frequently dashed by
breakers. The deposit has been COM
pletely covered for $50 years or more
by 80 feet of white beach sand.
Gunsold, who visited these shores
long before the pilgrims left a map
of Cape Cod which shows that at
Eastman and also at Chatham long
points of land containing hundreds Of
acres extended miles into the Atlantic.
The Eastman point was named Point
Car and the other Point Gilbert.
They entirely disappeared years ago.
To this day, however, vessels and fish
ermen have fouled anchors and lines
on roots Of trees, pieces of which have
been brought to the surface, these
roots giving positive evidence that
land once extended from Chatham to
Georges banks, 20 miles east-south-
east from Chatham Light.
Capt. Abbott Walker, veteran Of
coast guard station No. 80, says he
first observed evidence of a peat de-
post near that point ten years ago.
In that short interval the sea has adj
vanced inland many feet.
The great deposit, which crops out
at the foot of the bluff, extends some
distance underground, and probably
runs back under the coast guard sta
ton 500 feet. Inland, beyond the sta
ton, is a large swamp, which is
about on level with the peat bed
and may form part Of it.
A portion so feet wide facing the
sea and 40 feet in depth to the bluff
behind it has been uncovered by the
surf.
In appearance the peat is rich
dark brown Of purely vegetable mat
ter such as decayed leaves and sticks.
It crumbles easily, burns freely when
dry, but holds fire well and gives OF
a great heat. The smoke has the
pleasant odor Of burning cedar.

THINGS
UNUS UAL
CHICAGO'S UNDERGROUND
RAILROAD
By T. T. MAxEY
stern Newspaper Union.

The main retail and skyscraper dis
trict of Chicago is jammed into what
has been aptly termed the dreaded
mile square" and known as "The
Loop" The traffic congestion which
naturally resulted and steadily grows
worse as business increases, produces
myriads of vexatious delays which re-
suit in costs beyond computation. nu,
merOus mishaps and the unnecessary
use of countless swear words.
In so large city, the incessant
traffic necessary to move supplies
from rail depOts to stores and fac
tories, shipments from salesrooms and
factories to freight terminals, mail,
coal to boiler rooms, ashes and exca-
waited material for new buildings to
dumps, etc., reaches a startling mag
nitude and becomes an increasingly
serious problem-the corner of State
and Madison streets, for instance, is
said to be the busiest corner in the
world.
To relieve the congestion and cut
down the delay, far-sighted corpora
ton constructed an intricate system
of underground tunnels through which
a railroad operates. Now much of this
traffic is economically, quickly and
conveniently trundled through this I'M
foreground artery of commerce-dur-
ing recent year about 611,OOC tons
of freight, $4,000 tons of coal and 219,-
600 wagonloads of excavated material
and cinders.
Six feet wide and III feet high, and
surrounded by a Pinch wall of solid
concrete, these tunnels are from AZ to
45 feet below the street surface. The
method of construction left no chance
for cave-ins or settling and has not
interfered with the foundations of
buildings. There is little water seep-
age, the average temperature Is So de-
grees, winter and summer, and the
frequent passage Of trains provides a
natural and adequate ventilation.
There are 81 miles of these horse
shoe-shaped tunnels, in which there
are 40 crossings, 652 intersections,
and 1884 switches. The equipment
includes 1872 electric motors and 5000
cars, each feet wide, II feet long,
and holding from 1 to 6 tons, depend
ing on the nature Of the load. The
track gauge Is 2 feet. The tunnel and
its equipment represents an invest
ment of about $4O,OOO,OOO. The opera
ton requires about $40 people.
Train movements are controlled by
telephone system Of signals operat-
ing to avoid collisions at street inter
sections. In case of fire, deluge Of
water is prevented by heavy tight-fit-
ted iron doors over all shafts leading
to the tunnel.
There are connections with univer-
sal notwithstanding stations, railroad
depots, freight terminals, business
houses, Office buildings, etc.

Bones of Elotherium,
Tertiary Beast, Found

Portland, Ore.-Fossils of another
strange animal which used to roam
the wilds of eastern Oregon years ago
have been discovered. A group Of
University of California biologists
have found the skull, tooth and sew
eral bones of an elotherium, a squat,
piglike creature which probably exist
ed in the tertiary age. The skull was
about the size Of that of horse, ex-
cept that 1t was flatter. One Of the
teeth was about two inches in diam
eter and about three inches long.
