Weald Solve Mauy Question* Un
known to the Scientific World
Estimated Cost $35,000,000
and to Take 85 Year*.
Experiments to be tried lu the Wash
ington monument by officers ot the geo
logical survey to try to determine the
compressivsness of the earth's mass,
has aw akened widespread interest in
scientific circle*. Coming aa it does on
the heels of a project broached by
Charles Algernon Pars —g of England,
to bor j a hole 12 mllen into tha earth,
the scientific worM hee «uoh food for
•peculation.
Prof. Parson* **«malM Chat to sink
a than 12 mile* deep would eoet $25,000,
000, and that it wouM re«ulr» $5 year*
to accomplish it. ThU <*aft» eat down
Into th8 earth, would represent tb»
iquivalent of a hole one foot deep In a
rnaae feet 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 thousands of miles of the in
tarior mass still untouched.
The amount of compreaaton at the
globe's center should, to some extent at
ieaat., define the character of the mass
of which it is formed. It is argued thaA
the great mats of the interior of the earth
is solid Against the contention that
the planet under a crust 25 miles thick,
! te a maes of fiery liquid is arrayed the
fact of the known density of the globe,
i That density in the earth's entirety U
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 Sir
William Thompson, that thin crust
should have a rigidity possessed by bo
known substance. The sub exerts such a
strain upon the substance of the earth
that the planet could not maintain its
shape as it does, be maintains, unless tbs
supposed crust were at least 2,900 or
2,500 miles in thickness
There is a gradual increase In the tem
perature while penetrating the surface
of the crust. This inorease in some lo
calities is as rapid as one degree for each
! 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 5,065 feet, water ha?
; a temperature of 170 degrees, Fahren
! belt. The deepest excavations in the
earth are at the Calumet and Hecla cop
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
lateral galleries. Colossal engines are
required to ventilate the immense sub
terranean city and to keep thetempera
I ture endurable in the lower levels. A”
i deep mine boring? prove how stupend
ously difficult would be the task of de
scending below the mile level,
At the lowest rate of increase in the
temperature in p-’r.e'raf ingt.be earth, tb-5
heat at the depth suggested by Mr. Par
sons, 12 mile? down, would be 80b de
grees Fahrenheit. This heat, though fir
from the fusing point of wrought iron
13.280 degrees*, would render the m»
of tools, even if the lower borings of th-'
shaft- were const-ucred as they are In oil
•a ells, a dlflicii!1- j-r-- •'? ?. It would defy
•V' most colossi, sc,lem*’ of artificial re
frigeration to render m; eh depths avail*
able for entrance by human beings.
Mo consideration? of commercial ben
efit enter into the plans of Mr. Parson?
in suggesting the ■ i-'tiile boring into the
crust of the earth. It ■;? a, scheme purely
lx the interest of scientific knowledge.

t>f the southern states oi
Is periodically a cause cl com
ment and <v>neern to some who
think they see therein a sinister
scheme of imperial conquest,
For two or three strong reasons,
says the New York Tribune, such j
fears seem to us to be not well
founded. One such reason ia
that the number of Germans tn
Brazil ia not, after all, ominous
ly large. The total population of
Brazil, according to the census
of 1890, was 14,333,915- No later !
census returns are available, bnt:
careful estimates now place the
total at more than 17,000,000, of
which number l^ss than 3,000,000
fire Indians and negroes, leaving
certainly more than 14,000,000
whites. Of these, in 1901, only
2,700,000 were immigrants, and
of the latter number only 300,000
were Germans. j
The latest and highest esti
mate of the number of Germans
in Brazil is only 439,000, or a lit
tle over three per cent, of the
whole. Really, we cannot regard
that as a dangerous percentage.
Nor does it represent the largest
foreign element, by any means.
Portuguese immigrants into Bra
Itll art? iwitT us uumciu'ju, rum
Italians three times as numer
ous, as the German*. Nor yet
are these Germans so massed ia
certain states as to form a. ma
jority of their population, «*
some hove imagined. Germans
are most numerous in Rio:
Grande do Sul, whore there are ;
200,000 of them, but the whole
population of the state is 000,000,
so that the Germans are less
than one-fourth. In Santa Catha
rina the Germans are 100,000 in a
total of 300,000, or one-third,
the largest proportion in any
state. I a Parana they are 47,000 ■
in 280,000, and ia Sao Paulo 30,
<300 in 1,430,000.
It is pointed oat as ominous
that these Germans continue to
ase their own language, to pub
lish newspapers in German and
to demand the official use of that
language in courts and school*
Well, the same may be said ot
: Germans in New York, and ia
| Milwaukee, and Itt many othei
: parts of the United States.
The conquest which Germany
! hopes for in Brazil is not polit
leal, but commercial. The profit
she looks for in this migration of
her subjects ia to be found in ia
creased commerce. In that Ger
many reckons shrewdly. Every
shipload of Germans landed fa
Brazil creates a demand for
many shiploads of German man
ufactured goods. Every so-called
German colony in Brazil means
a market for German trade.
Upon this feature of the case too
much stress cannot easily be laid.

There is a tree which grows la
Sumatra, Algeria and China which
is known as the vegetable tallow
tree. From its fruit large quanti
ties of oil and tallow are extract
ed, and the fruit Is gathered in
Novt?mber or December, when all
the leaves have fallen. Excellent
candles are made from the berries
of a tree which grows in some
I parts of South Africa and the
' Azores. At Sierra Leone is found
, the cream fruit tree, the fruit of
; which is very agreeable in taste.
! In Ceylon there is the breadfruit
! tree, from which a food is made in
j the same way that we make bread.
' It is said to be equally good and no
tritious. In South America we

Curtaus Incident.
A man on Twenty-third street
furnished roach amusement to a
number of people on a recent
windy afternoon by a predicament
he fell into, or rather that fell
onto him A large gunny sack
dropped from the roof of one of
the buildings, and, as it descend
ed, filled with air, coming dowu
! with mouth wide open, like a bal
iooc. It struck the unfortunate
: man squarely over the head, cov
eriag him completely down be
low the shoulders, and pinioning
hit arms so that he had difficulty
la extricating himself. He atrng
gled as if he thought he was being
kidnaped until he managed to get
Oc ism off hi* hoed.—N. Y. Pool
