Types of Peat and Its Uses in Fuel
Peat varies from turf to slime as it decomposes. Dark colors reflect older peat with little plant texture. Formation types include bog, moss, heath, meadow, forest, and sea peat. Dried and compressed peat serves as fuel but its bulk water and ash limit coal competition. Lantern-slide term first appeared in 1909.
Modesty and mischief in the modern mind
Ed Howe reflects on modesty as a civilizing habit, contrasts it with boasting, and notes how public scrutiny shapes behavior. He cites personal vignettes about a family with a fourteen year old daughter Frances, and critiques medical ideals of perfect babies, questioning perfection in humanity.
