VOLCANIC JPOWER
Industrial Italy, forced bv
the enormous prices for im-|
ported coal, is turning atten-;
tion toward the utilization of!
the latent power of the coun-1
try’s volcanic area, according;
to advices received by the!
Italian embassy at Washing
ton. |
This idea of exploiting the
natural heat emitted from
the soil Th the volcanic re
gions seemed a dream at first
thought, but already it has j
been developed to consider-;
able importance. Successful!
experiments have been con-j
ducted in the past and today j
at Larderello in Tuscany a!
heating plant of 16,000 horse’
power is operating without'
interruption and distributing;
electric current to Florence, j
Livorno and Grosseto. Its
capacity, it is planned, will
ue increased.
First experiments with
volcanic power were made
some years before the war
by Prince Ginori-Conti at
Larderello. near the salt
mines of Volteerra, a region
extensively covered with vol
canic vents emitting power
ful jets of hot steam contain
ing boric salts and various
gases used in the extraction
of boracic acid.
Instead of limiting the use
of these steam-jets to ex
tracting the salts contained
in the exalations of these1
natural vapor-vents, the ejec-.
tion of the steam is simulat-;
ed by boring holes. In this:
way it has been possible to
obtain jets at a pressure of;
30 to 45 pounds per square
inch and in some instances
at 75 pounds a square inch,
the temperature varying,
from 150 to 165 degrees cen
tigrade.
In 1905, rince Ginori-Conti
applied this natural steam to
a 404iorsepower engine, us
ing only a small section of i
the Nenella fissure, the
ejected steam from which
has a pressure of 75 pounds'
per square inch. Seven years
later another experiment was!
successful with a 300-horse-j
power turbine-alternater, and
later the Larderello heating j
plarfc was started with three;
turbine-alternaters of 3,000
kilowatts each, these being
fed by boilers at low pres
sure heated b” the natural
steam, superheated to 165 de
grees centigrade.
The natural steam has
been used thus far only for
heating because it contains
phuric acid, which corrodes
substances amonp them sub-i
metals, particularly iron.
FISH PIRATES
According to the “scare
head article” printed in a
Seattle paper, “fish pirates”
were responsible last year be
cause the canneries did not
put up their "contract pack."
The "pirates" have been
blamed, says the Juneau
capital, for a lot of things,
but this is the first time
they are responsible for the
light run of salmon last year.
Sometimes a person wonders
if a "propaganda" is being
carried on outside to keep
capital from making invest*
ments in Alaska.
REPUBLICAN PLAT
FORM
For many years Alaska
has been declared to be “the
promised land” in national
political convention p 1 a t
forms, and then forgotten.
Although Alaska was not
mentioned by the republican
national convention platform
it is possible, suggests the
Seattle Alaska Dispatch, that
it is the intention of the
Harding administration to
“cut out the bull” and inject
a common sense administra
tion in Alaska. .The Alaska
Dispatch will wait for a de
claration on Alaska from
Harding, and if it comes, be
lieves it will be a sincere
declaration of what the
people of Alaska and their
voting friends in the States
can expect.”
