Abstract
PEAT is always an attractive subject for the investigator, and particularly for the inventor, as it seems to promise so much in return for so little effort. It lies on the surface and needs no expensive mining operations; it is often on the top of a hill and can be run down to the consumer by gravitation, and it is capable of yielding fuel, ammonia, and various oils by distillation or heating processes, for which it can itself provide the necessary energy.
