PEAT BOGS TO BE UTILIZED Commercial Value of Immense Deposits in Northwest Germany Has Not Hitherto Been Realized. The more or less successful Instal lations In northwest (iertnany for the Utilization of the immense peat bogs that exist there has led to the sug gestion in England that the huge bog of Allen In Ireland may next become a great center of Industry. The (Jer nian undertaking bus contemplated the bringing of a large part of the bogs under cultivation, together with thy conversion of the peat into fitel, to be employed in the development of electrical energy for agricultural purposes, as well as for supplying light and power to a number of towns situated within a ritdius of II ft y miles. A. network of canals Is, it is reported, In process of formation to drain the ground, and the peat dredged out Is to be utilized in the way just de scribed. It Is estimated that the gas produced from the peat will furnish work to the amount of (KM) horse power hours'for eaeh ton, and a large quantity of ammonia will be recovered for use as fertilizer. ? Washington Star. ' Steel Has Great Cutting Power. "High-speed steel" for cutting tools lias been well known for years, ami nn improved form of this material has been introduced In Sheffield* England. It Is reported that this steel has four times the cutting power of any other In use. The composition is, it appears, still a secret, but it is said to be the first "high-speed steel" that can be hardened in cold Water without dan ger. It can also be hardened with oil or in a cold blast. Tools made of It wear out much .less rapidly and require much less grinding than those of the older kinds of steel. fThey will also go on working at high temperature longer. Hut the makers themselves say that this steel does nf>t by fyny means mark the final develop ment of "high-speed steel." ? Washing ton Star. Imperfection at a Premium. It was not so long ago that brick "second?*" sold* cheaply and were used only In foundations and low-grade work which the eye never found. They were the misshapen, distorted part of each baking and the manufacturers^ were glad to dispose of them. Hut finally a builder with nfii eye for the artistic noticed their colors, which ran from the natural red to odd browns and blues. He experimented and found they had nn ancient appearance even when newly laid and, when capped by a rough roof of off-colored slate, carried a distinct atmosphere of antiquity. As a result, strange, queer ly attractive houses are appearing all throng'* the country and brick "sec onds" are quoted far above their per fect mates. ? Wall Street Journal. He Had Help.

Mining Methods. In the construct ion of the Tieton dam of the Yaklm^ nro.fe< t In Wash ington the I'nlte I States reclamation service, will have added another note* worthy achievement to its* already long list. The di'in Itself will be one of the largest eaNh dams hi the I'nlt ed States, having a visible height of 2.'{o feet jind a length along the crest of J.M H i feet, with a, top width of twen ty-rive feet. A heavy concrete corow&ll will ex tend through the full lengih'of the dam and from Its crest into the bedrock. The excavation for and placing of the corewjjll Is one Of the features of the work. The following method is being used : Three shafts arc being sunk from (lie surface of the ground into the bedrock. Drifts six foot high and five feet wide are then driven in both dire? i iCms along tin line of the core wall. After the lower drive i.s com pleted. n ?ecoi)d drift Is driven Imme diately above It. The material from this second drift is broken down into mine cars placed 1 ri the lower drift 'and from there N , taken to the shaft ami Insisted to the surface. After tin two drifts are Completed the lower drift Is filled with concrete from cars running In the second drift. A third drift Immediately above the second drift Is then driven, and the process In repented until the surface Is reached. Gifts Doubly Useful.
