poses, and it is equally sse'rrieeable for
stove-, grate's, ranges and furnaces,
giving as long bt ight flange and intense
heat almost from tine moment of igni-
tion. It is elaimed that it can he sold
with profit, at 00 cents as ton. •If this
and all other flood things said, about it
are true, the problem of cheap and
good fuel will be solved in the prepar-
ations and !marketing of peat.
A Belgian inventor has introduced
a new feel product which the ealis
"vesUve." It is a compound of peat
and pitch.. and i, So intiauminatllle that
it may be ignited with a. match, It is
designed to serve not only foe Manning
brit as as regular fuel as well, for it
limns a long time and gives out in-
Vele() heat. The inventor claims fork
the merit of cheapness es well as the
highest fuel properties.
But the theist startling announce-
ment we have heard of lately in the
fuel line comes frons (,erimany, The
Berlin journals are uow discussing the
invention ef one Herr.1ontag, of Mann -
helm. This praaeticaal cheuzist has it is
reported, suee'eeded in producing an
artifle•ial coal whip]) is preferable to the
ordinary coati, as it does not develope
poisonous gases, creates but little soot,
aand leaves un skate and but a small
amount of esti, the latter resembling
wood or cigar ash; further there is no
danger of explosion or conflagration
The fuel is compared of 92.91 per cent.
of ordinary earth, and 8 to 10 per cent.
of chemical ingredients, and is cheaper
and better than coal. Any piece of
land, even if unfit for agriculture can
be used to produce this fuel. The cost
of the necessary plant is very low, the
price of a machine being only $3,750..
Patents for the invention have been
taken nut in seventeen countries.
And the conclusion of the whole mat-
ter is that for some time to corse there
won't he much -danger of mankind go-
ing cold for lack of fuel.
