SlTRTLINO PROJECT
ENQ| ISHMAN WOULD Diqf HOLE
VwELVE MILES DEEP.
Would Solve Mauy Questions Un
knowa to the Scientific World
Estimated Cost $25,000,000
and to Take 85 Years.
Experiments to be tried in the Wash
ington monument by officers o£ the geo
logical survey to try to determine th«
compressiveness of the earth's mass,
has awakened widespread interest i.u
scientific circles. Coming as it does ou
ihe heels of a project broached by
Charles Algernon Parsons, of England,
to bore a hole 12 miles into the earth,
the scientific world has much food for
speculation.
Prof. Parsons estimates that to sink
a shaft lb miles deep would cost $25,000,
000, and that it would require 85 years
to accomplish it. This shaft, cut down
into the earth, would represent the
equivalent of a hole one foot deep in a
mass 666 feet thick. It would solve
many questions that the scientific knowl
edge of the world has left unanswered,
yet it wrould investigate only the crust
and leave thousands 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 is formed, it is argued that
the great mass of the i nterior of the earth
is solid. Against the contention that
the planet, under a crust 25 miles thick,
is a mass of fiery liquid is arrayed th*
fact of the known deusity 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 the sur
face.
me assumption or a comparatively
thin crust requires, according to Sir
William Thompson, that this crust
should have a rigidity possessed by no
known substance. The sun exerts such a
strain upon the substance o' ' * earth
that the planet could not maintain its
shape as it does, he maintains, unies3the
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 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 3,065 feet, water ha3
a temperature of 170 degrees, Fahren
heit. 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 the tempera
ture endurable in the lower levels. Ali
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 in the
temperature in penetratingtheearth.the
heat at the depth suggested by Mr. Par
sons, 12 miles down, would be 800 de
grees Fahrenheit. This heat, though far
from the fusing point of wrought iron
(3,280 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
it the interest of scientific knowledge.
ODD WILL OF RICH MAN.
Nephew Will Inherit Fortune from
Uncle After Serving Three
Years as a Soldier.
“That he shall serve at least one full
term of not less than three years in
the ranks of the United States army,
ht the expiration of which, if his dis
charge shall read: ‘Service honest and
faithful, character excellent,’and shall
have reached the grade of a noncommis
sioned officer and bring to the executors
1 herewith appoint a letter of com
mendation from the officer under whom
he served. I bequeath to the said George
O. Travis the sum of $130,000, knowing
that, after such service, lie 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
late S. Houston, a wealthy man of Chi
cago, made to his nephew, George O
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 for the purpose of carrying out
the dying request of his uncle.
Mr. Houston was an old soldier, hav
ing served in the civil war in the Fourth
United States artillery. Unable to con
tinue an army career. Houston, having
no sons of his own, was determined that
his next of kin, his nephew, should be
come a soldier.
Young Travis said it was not neces
sary for his uncle to make that clause
(n his will which makes service in the
United States army compulsory for him
is he had always intended to enter the
iriny as soon as he was 21.
A Hole with a Future.
An English engineer proposes to flat
out what Is in the interior of the earth
He will do this by digging a hole 12 milei
deep, pro vided with air locks and cool

35 years and cost $5,000,000. What pa
tience and effort those foreigners do ex
