~ THE COMING FUEL. PEATQ TURNED INTO CANNEL COAL IN THIRTY MINUTES,

Long-v¥exed Problem Solved at Last—- ~ 'The Railroads After the New Prodngt—lt is Promised in Abund- | ance at %35 a Ton. [From the New York World.] A letter which recently appeared in the World detailing a new process for the conversion of peat into fuel in forty-¢ight hours has attrgeted general attention,and brought to light another invention of a still more remarkable character, which completes the process in thinty minutes. The last takes the spongy,wet,sticky bog earth and changes it into a dry fuel,hard enough to take a poligh, and dry as cannel coal. Peat, everybody knows, is coal soft and unbaked.! In some slowly drying lakes moss gnd turf have grown, layer above layer, tree-trunks have sunk into the mass, and the whole is slowly thickened and increased year by year till the lake is gone, and a quaking bog is left injits place, on whose surface the moss gnd grass and sedge spread and thicken. till it has grown above . the old level of the lake, spread up the hillside, risen twenty, thirty, forty feet, drowing out whole forests with a steady rise. - Meanwhile the old layers are- gradually changing, the plant stems [turn black as the carbon separates from the hydro-carbons of organic growth till at last the sticky black clay is the best fuel known—if it will burn. All the curious chain of chemical compounds that make a fuel worth something \in the manufacture of gas are there—enough of carbon to equal the best coal; none, or: thelmerest trace, of phosphorus and silicon, that make fuel worthless in iron manufacture; less einder and less ash than any other natural fuel known; no smokeé and no slag, more volatile products -and more carbon|; all this—and with it 30, 40, 50, 60 per cent. of water, and water does not burn. In time nature can be trusted to dry the peat and give in place coal, draining the water with sudden! tilts of strata, squeezing it out with great masses of overlying rock or ocean, baking it with internal fires, and at|last —in a few million years more or less—the result is coal. The new machine takes the peat and drops it out in hard ecylinders, dry and solid in half an hour more or less. Men have tried to dry peat time out of mind. Irishmen take it now as they did a thousand years ago, cut into square blocks and dry it in the sun. Half of the water leaves it and half stays, and a loose, light, fibrous mass is left with no cohesion, which cannot be handled for transportation or burnt in any furnace more elaborate than a cotter’s hearth., It will not “stand” blast, men say. In all temperate climates the peat even to get this product can be dried only four or five months in the yeéar. If a large supply is wanted it must be done under covor. The first frost leaves a worthless, disintegrated mass, aiid the manufacture takes from two to ffour weeks, a long while in a shiort season: It is:some fifty years since men began to'improve on the rude process. Peat has been squeezed in cones fitting into each other,rammed into cylindrical moulds with heavy pistons, whirled in centrifugal drying machines, stamped into square, smooth blocks, stirred and puddled in the hope that it| would set; but stamped, or whirled, or puddled it still takes days;. perhaps weeks, todry. Heat, artificial or natural, must be applied to compléte the work,and the resulting product has too much water and too little cohesion. The new process ig the result of years of experiment in a secluded nook on the Hudson at an expense of some $50,000. Three things must be done. The peat must be dried, i}t must be left in a solid mass, and it must be unnecessarily handled. It costs something to pick up a block of peat and carry it ten feet even. A combination of two previous processes is used in the new; machine. The peat is %l‘ied by the direct application of furnace heat and solidified by the blows of an iron plunger. To these is added the novel feature of the new machine—drying by utilizing the latent heat of steagf 'The peat is fed into an ordinary pug-thill vat where the semifluid mpass is stirred—very much as the cream “in a freezer is kept in motion—and partly dried by a steam jacket whic?\ surrounds the vat. Into the peat aipipe communicating with a ‘high-pressure boiler is led,and just opposite t:te mouth/of this pipe another opens, which runs on out of thé vat and.thrtugh the furnace which heats the boiler just mentioned: When the machine is in motion the sueccessive jets of superheated steam in their leap lfrgtm pipe to pipe force along a steady steam of peat, and by successive blows push it on its way through the fux;:iace. “Here it might become ‘hardened and stick if it were not for another pro?ert possed by peat that under high emgeratu”re ltf tarrg and pyroligneous particles melt and the ~whole becomes a plastic yielding mass ~which slides along under repeated im_peat is discha géé;;,,;in*g;e;'cx;,.’!}&?i@&l, ‘chamber, while the steam rises to the ‘surface of the chamber and is conveyed to the swamga&%ﬁmtmﬂiﬁﬁ% ‘peat vat. Freed from the steam the o St

peat comes under the blows of the heavy iron plunger, worked by an eccentric, which forces out a eoil of solid peat, anywhere from two to eight /inches in diameter, according to the sizeyf the machine. To travel from | the "vat to the plunger, and to pass from wet peat to «ry fuel has taken .abouti thirty minutes.. This machine ‘turns out an article ready for fuel; it loses none of its volatile products, and it is turned into a solid, homogeneous ‘body by the cementing effect of the half-melted pitch. The. same furnace drives the engine used in running the machine, . furnishes. the super-heated steam, drives the peat in its passage, &e. The latent heat of the super-heat-ed steam which puits the peat’in motion is. utilized in the steam-jacket around<the vat.- One of these machines with a two! inch aperture, bas been in sucés‘sful'-opei‘:ttioh ‘during an entire season. A fragment of its product has been analyzed by chemists and found to be an ideal fuel. Practical men, like the managers of the New York Central and the Hudson River Railroad - Companies and the New York and New Haven ‘Rrailroads, stand ready- to.take “it at the rate of 50,000 tons a year, or more at the rate of &5 aton. A fuel for locométives which has no slag or cinder and handles easily is simply invaluablé. One of-the -largest blast furnaces in the country has alse made an attempt to obtain the use of thisnew fuel. Asto the practical working lof the process on a large scale, the plans and drawings for large machines have been exhaustively examined by Mr, Bromley, of the Quintard Iron-works, and he pronounces it “theoretically and practically perfect”in-a written opinion which hie prepared -after a longconférence with the inventer. - Those familiar with the product of the ordinary peat machine are aware that it is: a light or dark _brown produet, shading almost to Dblack, spengy, lighter than water and-apt to crumble, and al:most invariably requiring an exposure to the gir or furnace heat Dbefore it is sufficiently dry for fuel. A fragment of the new peat fuel is a jet black cylinder, not easily cuit with a knife, hard enough to take a polish, showing a clearly defined cleavage, weighing sev-enty-five pounds to the cubie foot, and containg lessthan's per cent.of water. The best Irish peat chatcoal has 20 per cent. more heating’ power than the best Néwcastle eoal, and 100 per cent. more than German coal; and it is the opinion of experts that tle new fuel, from its weight and the preservation ~of the volatile.compounds in peat, will Dbe of equal value, inflammable gases playing an important part in the reduction of refractory oves. The wuse of peat in the manufacture of gas has been limited by the same difficulties which have prevented its use as fuel. There seems to be no reason why the, new product should not furnjshchcap{ 'illuminntil}g_ gas. I e 5

Geographically peat is one of. the most widely extended of modern deposits;. Every State of the Union has more or less extensive peatbeds. ' The manufacture of ‘the new fuel can be carred. on at a rate which permits its supply at a large’ profit at $5 a ton.— The new invention has been'patented in this country as well as in France, Germany, and Great, Britain,yand a company has been formed in shis city to begin manufacturing d uriré{wthé ensuing summer. g et

L Cruel Retrénchment.’ “Retrenehment”™ i§ the watchword to-day. All[classes exeept the poor are talking of retrenchment. 1? isthe politieian’s hobby and the rich'man’s religion. The merchant, the manufacturer, the railroad superintendent, the professional man, the ‘banker, all talk “retrenchment,”-and. ven fast young .men are echoing the song. . . - . “Times are hard.” “Money is tight.” “Business is dull.” These are the phrases that greét the ear on every cor--ner. And why don’t the poor man sing the retrenchment song? Simply: because he is the victim of the popular retrenchment theory. - = - - . The rich man-goes to his. home and tells his wife she must retrench. She assents. Thep “put. their heads together” and consult. . She can’t economize in her styleof dress. Her silver service must be of thelatest and most expensive pattern. Her: carpets and furniture must be elegant. She must entertain like a princeéss.. She can save nothing in the quality of her wines, or the rich viands with which her table is spread. Her ices must be of the very. best, and all the delicaeies of the season -must be served with criminal lavishment. “Society” demands this at her hands—“only this, and nothing more.” But she can reduce the wages of her servants. 'Spe tells her. washer-woman—the mother of half a dozen fatherless children--that she must “retrench.” The poor, tired: mother must hereaftér dothe washing for a miserable pittance or look elsewhere for work. She cannot repress the tears as she thinks of Johnny’s bare feet; of little Annie’s scanty clothing; and Lillie, her first born, wasting away on a rude pallet in her hovel—dying, perhaps,for want of sun- . shine, pure air and -healthful food.— With trembling lips she tellg ler sad tale, and pleads as none but a ‘mother can plead, for her little ones; but the heartless} woman' of fashion is inexor able. She must “retrench.” ‘Her c‘]{ii;’l;, dren are warmly clad and bountifully fed. ler selfish heart is not- moved by the tale of suffering-she has heard. Why did God make her a mother? Why did not He ' curse her with sterility 2. Why let her experience the ho1y joys of maternity # Why intrustto such a woman the welfare of an immortal soul ? e S R S S B

The husband, too, is equally heartless and cruel in his “retrenchiment.”. He cannot forego any of the luxuries he has-indulged in, but he will zedace the wages of his wood-sawyer. 'True to his instinets, he will strike first at the poor laboring - man, He is not | magnanimous ‘enough to make any sacrifiee: for the benefit of suffering humanity. ©* With a soul too small to invoice when the devil takes an account of stock, he practices “cruel retrenchment.” - The poor have learned a bitter lesson, and it is not strange that they do not favor retrenchment. Thank God there are,in this as in all other communities, a few rich men who do mnot rob the poor under the specious plea of retrenchment; a few rich women who do not forget that the mother love is as strong and pure in a hovel as in a palace. They are manly men. and womanly women.— There are. times when they practice economy; but ‘that true economy ‘which makes them just to themselves and generous to the poor. It is not “cruel I'etrench%§ﬂb;"f~.:’—3 Wm. Nash, in. the Logansyort Pharos.

More Know-Nothingism,

-Here.is some pleasant reading for our foreign-born citizens. In the debate on the (so-called) Civil-Rights Bill, in the Senate, Mr. Pratt, of Indiang.saids « o

“It has seemed to®me a surprising ‘thing that people who declaim against what'they call negro-equality are nevs er heard to start any objection to admission to fullest rights of citizehship of the foreigner, though he be ignorant to the last degree, a pam?:ar, or a criminal, unaequainted with our laws, and not capable even of spe?king .our lahguage. Mote than the third of a million of emigrants from every country of Europe annually lapd on our shores, and are heartily welcomed to the privileges of -citizenship, with whom it is not unfair to say the negro population of this country will bear favorable comparison in all the ele--ments that go to make useful citizens.”

Mzr. Pratt is a United States Senator from Indiana. And he well knows that it was the German vote added to the radical vote in the State whigh gavethat' party the power to make him Senator. Now he turns upen them and denounces them as ignorant paupers-and criminals, and says the “negro population will bear favorable comparison in all the elements that go to make useful citizens.” -Is if possible -that one single German can be found mean enough to yote “any longer with that party? If there be one, the mark of Cajn should be placed upon his forehead as a warning to the rising generation. — New larmony Registers : e

Retiring Mutilated Curreney.

The Treasury Department is making extensive arrangementss to retire. the worn and ,utilated national bank and legal tender currency and replace it with eclean;, néwly printed” notes of the same kinds and of denom-" inations to suit. This is to/be accomplished under the provisions of the new currency bill.just passed by Con--gress. I:'ipder previous laws there was no practical method of renewing worn -and filthy national bank notes. L Under the new law sums of $l,OOO or upwardg; of miscellaneous tlotes, the issues of p single or of different banks, ‘can be sent to Treasurer Spinner, who “will send newly-printed greenbacks in © return of denominations to suit. - The b olil national bank notes are then destroyed and -new: ones of the same kind and denomination printed and ° distributed tothe banks that originally dssued them, with the demand that an equal - amount of greenbacks shall be returned o the United States Treasn--Iy. In this way the people get new greenbacks | for ragged and dirty national bank-notes, and the banks get Ftheir issue back again freshly printed for worn and mutikited greenbacks.— Jhe entire currency of the: country ; Avill in this way be renewed Within the -next twelve months, and afterward will be kept in good condition. .L s : © . The New Currency Act. o = Morton’s personal organ, the Indianapolis Joyrnal, d?ﬁnes the new cur.rency aettobe thig: = 70 . 4 The practical effects of the currency ffillhare now pretty well understoodi=— It takes from the President the power to withdraw the $26,000,000 of green- - backs which were issued last fall -du- . ring the panic, and fixes the greenback circulation at $382,000,000 permanent- ° ly. It releases the absurd reserve which the banks were required to keep on thieir circulation, and will set free, to be used in the business of the country, about $40,000,0007 of ~greenbacks, , which ~will. be éxpansion to that amount. . It will take from the Eastern States $55,000,000 of national bank currency, to be distribhuted to the West and South., The new notes are to be-. issued as fast as called for, without waiting for the Hew notes of thé East- | ern banks to be gathered in,so that in effect. there will be two sets of notes in circulation at the same time, whichwill be another elemient of expansion.
