XIV:2.) 5. In view of tho fact that prior this they had been saying he was the Christ, why were they not now say ing so? (See John 1:41; IV:42; Mark 111:11-12; V:7.) G. Why did Jesus publicly declare himself as the Christ, and why did he refuse to let them make him king? (See John VI: lr?.) 7. If Jesus at this time was not fulfilling the national expectations of the people concerning the Messiah what effect would that have upon tho opinions tho people had of him? 8.

How did Peter know that Jesus .was Christ? (See Matt. XVI: 15-17.) 10.

Nov. 7.-Barbara Gladys Arnold, an 18-year-old nurse girl, was arrested Wednesday and charged with having set fire last Fri day night to the Berlin Hotel, In which three persons lost their lives. According to the police she confessed that she started the lire for the "love of excitement." Her arrest followed tho discovery of a fire in the Widemere Hotel early to-day. Her employer, Rev. \V. J. Williamson, had moved his family and the girl to the Widemere after the Berlin Hotel was destroyed. The girl said, according to the po lice, that she tired the Berlin by scat tering papers through tho Balls of the second and third floors and ig niting thora. The girl later made a written con fession in which sin1 said her name was Barbara Gladys Arnold. She confessed that she started a lire in the Widemere by throwing a lighted towel over the transom of her room. The Hame was extinguished by Mrs. Williamson, whose husband later called tho police.

PEAT PLENTEOUS ABOUT BOSTON Areas of Valuable Fuel Which Wo Aro Too Careless te Use. This month people bogia talking about tho rise in coal, says the Bos ton Transcript, but former State ge ologists have said there ls peat I enough in Eastern Massachusetts to ?supply fuel for all tho manufactories and households for a century, with ? out ono ton of coal. Evidently it is a strain on the Boston mind to be j Hove that you can go out to Hyde I.Park, say, and dig peat with a trowel, fifty feet from the trolley line, fetch it home in a newspaper, dry it on tho extension roof for a fortnight and set it blazing In tho range or the parlor grate. The truth is that a large and lovely mine of wealth exists within a 10 cent fare of the State House, begin ning at Paul's Bridge, at the foot of Blue Hill, lying under Hoadville race track, up where Purgatory Brook has I hold its way and its bad name for two hundred years, skirting Norwood, to Canton and Sharon, a long inlet of lovel green, a river of grass be twcen low banks, tranquil, lonely and silent, a field of bliss for those who love silence and sweet air, and large green wildernesses. It. Is not plushy growth like the Lynn marshes or tho New Jersey coast, but a stretch ot' low grass and Howers, which grow on the bog with a richness of color, height and perfection nowhere found off it. Little low families of trees and bushes cluster in islets, on this grassy stream, which carries so much Wealth under tho roots of its meadow plants. Follow Neponset street a milo from the trolley, along the quietest of country roads, past tho greenhouses and the flower crops of well-to-do florists and farmers, a com fortable, restful Yankee neighbor hood, with not a pretence Of a Colo nial mansion or a pergola all tho way, and only one motor passing In the afternoon. After a leisurely walk of a mlle there appears on the bog, al the foot of the sloping meadow banks, a small wooden factory gone to decay. Various shelters and dry ing platforms aro left of what was ten years ago an ambitions attempt to work the bog for a financial suc cess. Barrels of specimen briquettes were made, enough to show tn State street offices and In New York, very high names in business were quoted as managers and stockholders, civil engineers of reputo were coining and going over tho bog, while an enhanc ing secrecy and mystery were pre served about tho working of tho small factory on Its edge. Head by tho light of later experi ence, lt ls plain that just enough briquettes wore made to supply sam ples for Stnto street and Hartford of fices, with which a valiant effort was I made to soil, not peat fuel, but pout stock. Tho briquettes burned beau tifully in the oifico grates, whore tho H to ck was held, hut you uever could buy a barrel or a bushel to burn In your own house and people who were hoping for a cheap fuel were told of high-class hotel keepers who stood ready to order the pressed peat at $12 a ton, to burn In select guest chambers. It came round years af ter that the eminent civil and mining engineers who were consulted de clared the peat along Purgatory Brook was first rate, and plenty of lt, but ii was a manufacture for tho fu ture To-day the strain is to save every farthing possible on fires, whether of coal, gas or keron.no stove. This bog, which begins with Purgatory Brook, contains 3,500 acres of tho finest fuel in nature, and this bed of peat runs from four feet deep at tho horders .to thirty feet deep In the middle, over which farmers cut hay and drive loaded wagons. And lhere are few townships in IOastern Massa chusetts which have not enough of such peat beds to serve their people for generations. Peat is a democratic fuel, and it is easier to cut it out of the hog and dry lt than to cut trees from your own wood lot, season and split the wood. A good peat bod cuts like cheese and works enough easier than trenching garden beds. A man's work digging peat averages ten tons a day o? the wet stuff. Then all that is necessary to fit lt for firing ls to dry it on the bank for three weeks, or six, according to weather, turning lt one or more times in tho process, and piling lt V-shape to let the air pass through freely. Tho dry peat wants less kindling than a wood fire. A coal grate 1B the better for a piece of thick wire net ting laid inside the bars, to keep the turf from falling through, just as lt ls needed when you undertake to have a little wood fire, early autumn evenings. Set two pieces of peat to gether, tent shape, with a few pine bits under it, and it burns like wood dipped in kerosene, only it doesn't go out so soon. Miss Mann, for a generation town librarian in Bed ham, used to tell how good families in ber girlhood always laid In moss peat for invalids' and old folks' fires, because lt kept such steady, mellow heal til-night long. The good houses in England pile peat turves, not the briquettes, with the beech and oak billets and logs in the splendid old carved fireplaces of stately drawing rooms, because the peat makes a softer, moro lasting heat, than wood or coal. And one hears of the rich est folk In New York or, Indeed, In all American society, who import their peat by shipload from the other side to burn In Fifth avenuo chateaus. Peat, burning, sends an aroma like campfires through the house. Hence the common peat ls the fuel for stu dio fires and household grates, with people who know things. Up in Ver mont, when a farmer wants money, ho takes a load of dry peat to the next market town and sells it off hand, to housekeepers and the stray artists and author folk who linger In the hill-towns till December. One and four fifths of a ton of dry peat ls estimated to equal a ton of coal for heat, with this difference, that one-fifth to one-third of a ton of coal is ash and cinders, vhicb waste ao much heating power, while good peat does not allow a singlo clinker from an evening's fire. Four years ago the abandoned works on this same Purgatory bog were set going by a firm of father and son, who made briquettes and sold them by wagon up and down, from Norwood to Hyde Park, at a cost of less than $5 a ton, people wanting moro and over more of Ibem for house use. Then ono of tho steam hollers exploded, and the busi ness was abandoned again. Still there is tho bog with millions of tons of blessed fuel under its herbage, and, incidentally, millions of money for those who send the firing to those who sorely want and need it.
