Will Greet Eyes ot Elks in Denver Next
July Says Recent Traveler Erom
That City.
“Colorado Elks intend to have
the most unique entertainment
at the great Elks' reunion to be
held in Denver next July that
has ever been given on the
American continent,” said a well
knpwn traveling man to a re
porter at one of the hotels yes
terday. “I have just come
from Denver, and preparations
are being made to give a mon
ster parade which will have many
unique features. There will be
a delegation of Elks from Hono
lulu, the most distant lodge in
the werld from the scene of the
* reunion. There will be several
tribes of Indians marching in
the parade, and it has been ar
* ranged to bring down from the
.J^^^jnountains along the new ‘ ‘Moffat
several carloads of snow
which will be hauled in floats in
the line of march under the July
sun. The snow is found 60 miles
from Denver at an altitude of
11,000 feet, beside the railway
track, and its appearance in the
parade, will stamp the pageant
as one of the most novel and re
markable that has ever been
known in the history of u*->
country. The EiKs of Cdi .rado
V have raised the sumo Jibu
to K penci in tne ent rainment of
the visiting Elks, and the city
wiil be magnificaatly decorated
and open handed hospitality will
prevail. The city council have
agreed to revoke the license of
anyone overcharging an Elk
Ifc, i J
while he is in the city, and the
residents of Colorado seem to be
desirous that every Elk in the
country come there and have a
good time. The meeting begins
July 15th. and will probably be
the most memorable fraternal
gathering ever held on this con
tinent."

ExporlatoaU to ba triad tk tka Wash
ington aMo«Bwt by ottoan of tka geo
logical survey to try to determine tka
oompreaslveness of the earth's mesa
has awakeaM widespread interest la
scientific circle*. Coming as it does oa
the heels oi s project broached by
Charles Algernon Parsons, of England,
to bore a hole 12 miles into tkn earth,
the scientific world has much food Cor
•peculation.
Prof. Paraona eattmafcss that to stak
a shaft 12 miles deep would cost 125,00#,
000, and that it would require «5 years
to accomplish It. This shaft, cut down
into the earth, would represent the
aquivalent of a hole one foot denp In a
mass 666 test thick. It would solve
many questions that the scientific knowl
edge of the world has left unanswered,
yet It would Investigate only the crust
and leave thousand! of miles of the in
terior mass still untouched.
The amount of compression at the
globe's center should, to some extent at
least, define the character of the mass
of which It la formed. It la argued that
the great mass of the Interior of the earth
Is solid. Against the contention that
the planet, under a crust 25 miles thick,
is a mass of fiery liquid la arrayed the
fact of the known density of the globe.
That density In the earth’s entirety Is
about 5.5 times the density of the water
that covers three-quarters of tha sur
race.
The assumption of a comparatively
thin crust requires, according to Sir
William Thompson, that this crust j
should have a rigidity possessed by no
known substance. The sun exerts such a
strain upon the substance of the earth
that^bbe planet could not maintain its
shape as It does, he maintains, unless the
supposed crust were at least 2,000 or
2,500'miles in thickness.
There is a gradual increase in the tem -
perature while penetrating the surface
of the crust. This increase in some lo
calities ih as rapid as one degree for each I
56 feet of descent; in others one degree |
for 75 to 85 feet.
In the Comstock silver mines of Ne
vada, at a depth of 3,065 feet, water has
a temperature of 170 degrees, Fahren
heit. The deepest excavations in the
earth are at the Calumet and Hecla cep
per mines in Michigan, where the longest
perpendicular shaft goes down 4,900
feet, while one of the standing shafts
Is more than 8,000 feet in length.
There are in these mines 250 miles of
latenpl galleries. Colossal engines are
required to ventilate the immense sub
terranean city and to keep the tempera
tune endurable in the lower levels. All
deep mine borings prove how stupend
ously difficult would be the task of de
scending below the mile level.
At the lowest rate of increase tn the
temperature in penetrating the earth, the
heat at the depth suggested by Mr. Par
sons, 12 mites down, would be 800 de
crees Fahrenheit. Vis beat, though far
from the fusing point of wrought Iron,
($.280 degrees), would render the use
of tools, even If the lower borings of the
shaft were constructed as they are In oil
wells, a difficult process. It, would defy
the most colossal scheme of artificial re
frigeration to render such depths avail*
able for entrance by human beings.
No considerations of commercial ben
efit enter Into the plans of Mr. Parsons
In suggesting the 12-mile boring into the
crust of the earth. It is a scheme purely
