[The method adopted by the present exhibitor to pre-pare peat for economic use as fuel is altogether differentfrom that adopted generally. He mixes the peat with alarge quantity of water, reducing it to an impalpableniud, and then, by getting rid of the water, obtains acompact mass of considerable density. The mechanicalmeans adopted are simple, and take advantage of centri-fugal force—the water being thrown off during rapid
revolution.—D. T. A.]

[Warlich’s patent fuel consists of bricks measuring 9inches by 6 J and 5, and weighing about 12 lbs. They aredense and well made, require breaking before use, andwhen burning, give off little smoke, but they take sometime to light. They contain carbon 90*02, hydrogen5*56, sulphur 1*62, ash 2*91.

Thethickness is very variable, averaging as much as seven feet,but sometimes diminishing to a few inches, and sometimesbeing 12 or 14 feet. To the depth of 8 or 10 fathoms its M2
