There are peat hogs scattered all through the country, but those in- vestigated up to date are those con- sidered of greatest potential value in view of their extent, and proximi- ty to, transportation facilities and probable markets. On2 of these is at Alfred, Ont., and one at Ste. The- rese de Blainville, Quebec, At the first mentioned bog the operations haye been conducted by the Peat Committee, which was jointly ap- pointed by and financed by the Fed- eral Government and the Ontario Government; and the latter by Le Combustible National Limitee, with an authorized capital of $500,000. The Peat CHmmittee has spent on the Alfred /operations $298,716, ac- cording to/ a return presented to the House of Commons by Hon. Mr. Stewsrt on Monday last. Half of this smount has been paid by the Ppominion Government and half by the Ontario Government. The Peat Committee was created 1918 when the fuel situation was rave, with a view to devising a pro- eess for the commercial utilization of a raw fuel possessed in abundance by Canada, and the results to date are considered far in advance of those secured elsewhere, according to Hon. Mr. Stewart. The experi- ments are expected to be completed this year. d Should the experiments prove the success this year that it is hoped, the money . expended to date will be more than repaid. However, there is a growing feeling throughout the country that it is about time a halt was put to these experiments unless something concrete resuits. Back in 1919 the engineers had two ma- chines operating, and all that re- mained supposedly to be dome at that time was to make a few im- provements in the machines in use, and then try and get them made smaller and cheaply enough so as to be portable. The plan, as ex- plained to a party of newspapermen who visited the plant in the fall of 1919, was to have the machines available so that they couid be pri- vately owned and moved from bog to bog, preparing fuel, something afer the style of the portable saw- mill. \ It is results that count, and if the engineers don't get them this year there should be very careful consid- eration by the Governments and the Peat Committee before allowing fur- ther thousands of dollars to be spent on experiments.

Of course they do not, and can not, enter into compe- tition with the piano itself, much less displace it. but they can be of great use to the composition teacher in illustrating true lines of develop ment. Since the first pneumatic key- board was manufactured in 1868 remarkable progress has been made in the way of refinement and in the regulation of the desired effect, Re- cent inventions have made the suto- piano a most Ingenious ana respons- ive machine a triumpa of the adap- tation of means to an end. When it is understood that thy end is to bring music of the higher and more dificult kind under the notice of those who, for the most part, have no practical opportunity of becoming acquainted with it, one ean not but admit that the piano- player is an instrument of musieal culture and one that exerts a wide, if not deep, influence in musical edu~ cation. It brings home to the ordi: nary man in his own home the mas- terpfeces of the literature of music and enables him to become familiar with a whole range of artistic en- joyment otherwise denied to him. n-- ] il When He Puts the Knife into It Your husband will know that the steak you bought here is all right.
