THE EVENING REPUBLICAN- IND.

FIND MANY USES FOR PEAT

Wartorn Industry Gives Promise of Great Development in the Years to Come. The output of pent in the United States last ybar far exceeded that of any preceding , year and the general Increase, which was stimulated by the war, was shared by practically all branches of the industry. Though extensively used as fuel in Europe and widely known Jn the United Slates as a potential source of heat and power, peat has been unable to compete with Coal and many peat operators have directed their attention to the utilization of peat in agriculture with gratifying results. Peat fertilizer was first marketed in commercial quantities in 1908. and there is still some prejudice against Its use the agricultural branch of the dustry has been successful and the quantity of fertilizer and stock-food peat annually produced is Increasing. Large quantities of these products were made last year, but the most striking development was the production of more peat in the New EnglandStates than has been manufactured in the entire United States in dll preced ; ing years. Almost equally striking was the widespread Interest manifested in peat resources which lr«d been generally regarded as of doubtful value. Large quantities of peat or sphagnum moss were produced and utilized for stable litter; packing material, and surgical dressing, and several hundred thousand acres of peat soils were used for the growth of crops. The peat litter was produced by the owners of small hogs for their own use. but the packing material was sold to florists for $25 a ton. According to J. W. Hotson of the Red Cross more than half a million peat pads were prepared in this country for that organization. Most of the moss was gathered by volunteers from bogs in Washington, Oregon and Maine, and the pads were used in military hospitals at home and abroad.

TOWNS NOT FATED TO LIVE

Communities East and West, Founded In High Hopes, Are Now Practically Things Forgotten. Western papers tell their readers that the town of Emerson, pkla., is shortly to be a thing forgotten, remarks the Hartford Courant. It was "mapped out as ~a" town site shortly after the territory was opened for settlement, and the promoters had dreams of a metropolis. In 1907 the plan was abandoned, and now the district court has been asked to vacate the land for town Bite purposes, when what might have been a town will become farm land. The story of Emerson suggests what came near happening to a Connecticut town in the beginnings of the colony. Those interested in It showed rare sense in their choice of a site, and in their dreams planned not for a town but for a city. Hampden and Cromwell were to be among its citizens; the cream of England, so its promoters hoped, were to become Its citizens. Fate ordered otherwise, and the early days of this dream town are remembered now largely through Lion Gardiner’s, account of his struggle to hqld the site against the attacks of the Indians. Other states, notably the raining pllcate the story from Oklahoma, but few can equal the romance of the Connecticut settlement.

Village Proud of War Record.

The little Norfolk village of Old Buckingham is proud of Its war record. Its total male population between the ages of eighteen and fifty in 1014 was 264. Of that number no fewer than 170 served with the forces and 89 have given their lives for their country. In their honor a memorial cross has been erected on the village green, an exact reproduction of the “cross of sacrifice” designed by Sir Reginald Bloomfield, R. A., for all British military cemeteries abroad. Tne total height from the ground line to the top of the cross is 24 feet 8 Inches. It Is built of stone and the names of those men, of the village who fell In the war are Incised In gilt on the drum below the base of the cross. The sacrifice of. Old Buckingham Is typical of every British village.

Long-Lived Superstition.

We wonder whether the Turkish prisoner who foretold the end of the war by means of the shoulder* blade of a sheep had ever read “Glraldus Cambrensis’ Itinerary Through Wales,” made in the year *IBB. If so, he would have read in Chapter XI “that these people (the Flemings of Pembrokeshire), from the inspection of the right shoulders of rams which have been stripped of their flesh, and not roasted but boiled, can discover future events, or those which have passed and remained long unknown.” A footnote tells us that “this curious superstition Is still preserved In a debased form among the descendants of the Flemish population of this district, where the young women practice a sort of divination with the bliade bone qf a shoulder of mutton to discover who will be their sweetheart. is still more curious that William de Rubruquis, In the thirteenth century, found the same superstition existing among the Tartars.” Now, In the twentieth century, we find tt Among the Turks.—London Chronicle.

PRODIGIES PROVE A PUZZLE

Psychological Exports Unablo to Account for Their Amazing Prova- ~ mience in England. Infant prodigies are being discovered in England almost daily. Some connect this with the psychology of war. One of the youthful marvels’ is Pamela Bianco, a thirteen-year-old girl artist, whose drawings were given the place of honor in an exhibition at one of the principal London galleries. Critics dealt with them quite seriously and said that the work was suggestive of Botticelli and some of the other old masters. Pamela Is an Italian girl who was born in England and never had taken any drawing lessons. Ronnie Routledge, four, little more than a baby ; whose parents know nothing of music, has enjoyed six" months of tuition on the violin. At the Grimsby College of Violinists recently he outranked 43 competitors, most of them in the twenties, and scored 119 points in a possible 120. Professor Danton describes him as a miracle. Little Robbie Day, aged seven, of Brighton, son of a motor mechanic, has wonderful powers of clairvoyance, according to the Weekly Dispatch. Blindfolded, he described a number of articles. These included a treasury note (giving its color, numbers and writing on the back), the color and texture of a piece of fabric he had never seen, the correct answer to a complicated sum in mental arithmetic and figures written down atferandom. After five —minutes’ —test he complained of feeling icy cold. “I just see little pictures and I just say them,” is Bobbie’s explanation.

AMERICANS WILL BE THERE

Opportunities Offered in Abyssinia Are by No Means Likely to Be Long - ~ > After his visit to the United States one of the Abyssinian visitors admitted that he knew now why there were no Americans in Abyssinia. As he had seen him at home, the American, so the stranger from Abyssinia decided, Is not given to slow and tedious traveling. He wants to get about quickly, and Abyssinia, with nothing faster than a pack mule, offers no inducements of rapid transportation. “That, It seems,” said the Abyssinian, “has kept the American man out of our country. It is too bad. We need bridges like youra r we need streets like yours, and we need men like yours to direct the building of them.” Commercially and Industrially, however, the truth probably Is that Abyssinia has not been “discovered," and when That happens the American man will come and build his own rapid transportation. The mere statement that the capital, Addis Abbeba, Is a city of some 40,000 inhabitants and no rallvray connection with the outside world f* a temntatlon.—Christian Science Monitor.

Birds Have Right of Way.

Fowl have the right of way In air, warns the director of military aeronautics. This Is justice Indeed, since birds flew first. But' this Is not all. Recently many towns along the Atlantic coast have been visited with dead bird showers. Aviators flying by a town would see a flock of wild fowl coming their way. They would set their machine guns and Let the bullets fly. Presently a prominent citizen walk-; Ing below would be hit with a large, bloody bird. He complained to the town, and the town complained to the department of agriculture. Then the federal migratory bird law between the United States and Great Britain was referred to, and it was found that shooting birds from airplanes Is unlawful.

The Wrong Man.

When I was an eighteen-year-old I girl I was keeping house In my motlir er’s absence and received word from an old friend of the family, of whom ; I was very fond, that he was to be our guest for a day or two. Toward evening when the doorbell rang I “told, our little colored maid to. answer it and show Mr. Blank Into the' living room. *1 rushed into the room which was half dark, some minutes later and threw my arms around the gentleman who rose to greet me and kissed him soundly only to hear a strange voice say,< “I called to see If I could Interest you In a wonderful set of books I am showing today.” I backed to the light and turned It en to view a perfect stranger —a book agent. But Mr. Blank’s timely arrival just thep saved a little of my embar- 1 rasslng explanation. —Chicago Tribune.

Triple Tone Electric Bell.

_ Three separate 4nd distinct sounds •ro given by an electric bell which operates on ordinary lighting current by means of a transformer. In the home the bell can be connected with pushbuttons installed at three different doors—front, kitchen and side, for example. When one button is pressed a dear ring results, when the second Is operated a buzz Is produced, and when the third button is pushed a combination buz* and ring results. In the office or shop this bell will prove most useful, since it can be used to call three different persons without necessitating them to count the number of rings, as imust often be done when the customary signaling is employed. This bell has no contact potato to burn out and ae batteries te replace.
