PEAT ESTABLISHED AS FUEL In Denmark It la Employed to Furniak Power for Many Llnea of Big Industrie*. -J In HMD pi';1. i i' ?< i ' > i >1 i shed Itself as * fuel i novo llnnly than over In Den mark. It Is uved now by nearly all Jhc Industries, by the private rail roads and in ibe couutry . dlstrlcta. where It Is practically the only fuel. 1 Volvo million peat bricks were taken from the marshes in the Odenae dis trict in 1018, and while figures are not available for 1()10, It Is estimated that the number was considerably larger. The electrical works of the town of Hvemlhcrg have successfully ufled peat gas instead of petroleum. As a locomotive fuel It prgved to have soint disadvantages, requiring a larger boll er and giving off many sparks. Peat producers have complained that (lie government's maximum price on this article has made its manufac ture difficult. There have been a num ber of failures. However, the quality of peat has been greatly Unproved during the last five years, and more has been learned of its possibilities. It will therefore undoubtedly figure much more than previously as an economic factor In, Denmark. ? New York Sun. Physique of Country and City Boys. Under the selective draft law, regls trants were given two physical exantU nations, one by the loeal draft boards and another by^thc army surgeons al ter the men who passed the local board examination rearing camp. Analysis of those records of physi cal examinations shows that the coun try boys made better records than those from the cities; the white regis trants better than the colored, and the native born better records than those of alien birth. These differ ences are so considerable that 100.000 country boys would furnish for the military service 4,700 more soldiers than would an equal number of city boys. Similarly, 100,000 whites would furnish 1.240 more soldiers than would an equal number ol' colored. Finally, 100,000 native born would yield 3,500 more soldiers than would a like num ber of foreign. The importance of these figures may be appreciated by noting that 3,600 men Is equivalent to tin infantry regiment -fg full war strength. Endurance Test. The setting for the tale is La Jolla, a small town near San Diego. It Is a place that boasts of great swimming and many other attractions, besides a museum. A little maiden, whom we will call Nellie, was passing (be mu seum with her mother. Both were newcomers In the town and wero tak ing their first sightseeing tour. Nellie glanced up at the sign in front of the museum?' "Man-eating shark. Fifteen cents admission." So the two passed on. Two or three hours later, mother and daughter came back by the same route, and again passed the museum. The sign, of course, was still there. Nelliu could not be silenced. "Is that man still eating the shark?" she asked. "I should think he would get tired." ? Pittsburgh Chronicle- Telegraph. Diplomats at Washington.
