ENGLISH MAM WOULD diq Hoi_
TWELVE MILES DEEP.
Would Solve Many Questions Un
known to th/ Scientific World
Estimated Cost $25,000,000
and to Take 85 Years,
Experiments to be triod in the Wash
ington monument by officers of the geo
logical survey to try to determine the
compressivenesa at the earth s mass,
has awakened widespread interest la
scientific circles. Coming w It does ja
the heels of a project broached by
Charles Algernon Parsoas of England,
to bore a hole 12 mile® into the earth,
tfcs scientific world ha# »ucfa food for
speculation.
Prof. Parson* esttmat*® that to sink
a shaft 12 mites deep would coat 123,000,.
000, and that It would ®®n«alr» $5 year*
to accomplish it. This abaft, cut down
into the earth, would represent the
equivalent of a hole one foot deep in x
mass 65$ feet thick. It wouid soiv*
many questions that the scientific knowl •
edge of the world has left unanswered,
yet it would Investigate only the crust
and leave thousands of miles of the in-1
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 1# formed. It is 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,
la a mass of fiery liquid la arrayed the
fact of the known density of the globe.
That density in the earth's entirety Is j
about 5.5 times the density of the water
that covers three-quarters of the sur
face.
The assumption of a comparatively
thin crust requires, according to 3fr
William Thompson, that this crust i
should have a rigidity possessed by no j
k nosvn substance. The sun exerts such x
Itrain upon the substance of the earth
that the planet could not maintain its
shape a3 It does, he maintains, unless the
supposed crust, were at least 2,900 or
2,500 miles In thickneea.
There is a gradual increase In the tern -;
psrature white penetrating the surfaea !
of the crust. This increase in some lo-j
■alities is as rapid as one degree for each .
56 fret of descent; in others one degree ,
for 75 to 43 feet.

belt. The deepest excavations in the'
earth are at the Calumet and Hecla cop
per mines in Michigan, where thelonges*
perpendicular shaft goes down 4.900
feet, while one of the standing shaft*
is more than 4.000 feet in length.
There are in these mines 250 miles of,
lateral galleries. Colossal engines arc!
required to ventilate the immense sub-;
^erranean city and to keep the tempera-!
lure endurable in the lower levels. At •

ous'y difficult would be the task of ds-j

At the lowest, rate of Increase in th* i
'•emperature in penetrating the^arth.tb ■ \

son-. ’2 miles down, would be 400 i ■

Nephew Will Inherit Fortune from 1
Uncle After Serving Three

I herewith appoint a letter of com- j
meudation from the officer under whom ;
he served. I bequeath 10 rhe said George
O Travis the sum of $120,000, knowing
that., after aufh service, he will have
had enough experience of the world and
disciplinary , training to insure the
proper disposal of what has taken me a
lifetime to accumulate."
Such are the terms of the will of the
iate S. Houston, a wealthy man of Chi
cago. made to his nephew, George Q
Travis, a telegraph operator of Okla
homa The other day the young man
became of age and appeared at the Unit
ed States army recruiting office and en
listed far the purpose of carrying ou
the dying request of his uncle.
Mr Houston was ar, old soldier, hav
:i:g served in trie civil war in the Fourth
United States artillery. Unable to con
tinne an army career. Houston, having
no sons of his own was determined tha
his next of kin. his nephew, should be
come a soldier.
Young Travis-?%;d it was not neces
?ary for his un de to make that clause
in his will which makes service in the
United State? arm oinpulsory for him,
as he had alw ays intended to enter the
army as soon as ha w as 21.

An English engineer proposes to find
out what is in the interior of the earth
He will do this by digging a hole 12 mile*
deep, provided with air locks and cool

85 years and cost $5,000,000. What pa

When the hose company from fire head
quarters arrived a large water moccasin
about five feet long had wrapped itsell
about the horse’s neck ar.d had bitten
the animal several tlnw.
The snake w*u> an ugly looking reptile,
and for a few moments the firemen hesi
tated about going down in the well. Vol

climbed down on a ladder and with s
large stick killed the snak*. The hors*
was ■ hen lifted from the cistern and ■

for the snake’s bite. Although the horse
suffered considerably from the com
