Now that It Is possible to convert Inferior fuels, such as peat and brown coal, with a relatively high degree of efficiency Into gas by generators and to make practical use of them as sources of power, the Interest In them Is In creasing. In northern Germany, where water power Is not easily available, the high and low bogs are destined to urnlsh the fuel needed for the gen eration of electricity. The experiences of the ovorlnnd power plant In the Aurlcher Wlesmoor have proved that with a pent consumption of 2 kilos (4.4 pounds) per kilowatt hour the peat bogs are nn economically useful source of power of groat extent and duration.
