ALASKA If USE PEAT FOR FUEL
I Washington, July 7 ? (Special.) ?
i The geological survey has become in
J U rested in the possibilities of Alaska
peat as a fuel for the camps and cit-j
ies of the territory. It is conducting
investigations along this Hue and the
following notice of the work is given!
in the survey bulletin of this week:
"The high price of coal and other'
fuels in Alaska, due to the fact that
they have to be taken from a distance)
lo the more remote regions away from
water transportation routes, makes it
advisable to consider the possibility of
utilizing peat, great areas of which art'
common in the territory. More than!
10 0C9 tons of ibis fuel are prepared!
and used annually in the countries of1
! Northern Europe, wink- in the United
I States and Ala-ka mt 1,001 tons were
used in K">S
"Peat is partly iecomjtosgd vege
j table matter that is intermediate in
i character and fuetvalue between wood
' and coal. When properly prepared
! and air dried, it burns freely and

The August Magazines ai? full of
good reading. Look them over at
Boughton's, Fifth and Broadway, tf
gives off more beat than the best
wood, but not so much a& bituminous
coal of good quality. The chief dif
ficulty in uttiug it for fuel Is that It
is- always saturated with water as It
is found In the beds and has to be
dried before it can be burned. The
drying can be done cheaply by expos
ure to the wind and sun. Machines
for drying and shaping It into bricks
are in common use in Europe, and
peat thus prepared makes a more de
sirable fuel than cut peat, though it
Is somewhat more expensive.
"In the expectation that the great
sores of fuel In the peat beflq of Alas
ka may be used to some extent, C. A.
Davis of the United States geological
survey, has written a paper describing
the different processes of preparing
pe-t for fuel (so far as they are appli
ccb'e) and stating the cost of these
processes. This paper forms a chap
ter of Bulletin 379, which may be ob
tained free by applying to the direc
tor of the survey, Washington, D. C."
The Arm of tb? Law.
In a certain Canadian city a lady
was defending an action for a large
sum of money which she felt she was
not morally entitled to j>ay. When It
looked us If the case would go against
her she sold all her real estate and put
the proceeds, some $15,000 or more, In
her pocketbook? ' which In her case, as
Is the custom with soipe women, was
her stocking. The Judgment was given
against her, and becuuap she would not
pay nor tell where the money was she
was sent to Jull for u year Her coun
sel tried to get her released. The fol
lowing conversation formed part of
the proceedings:

"Yon admit," said the Judge, "tlmt

"Yes, your honor," said the counsel.
"And you admit that she sold the

"Yes, my lord."
