The Deepest Hole in the Ground.
From the London Engineering.

From the London Engineering.
The deepest borehole OF the earth is the
one at Poroschowitz, in the Rybulk dis
trict, Upper Silesia. 1t has been carried
TO a depth of something beyond 1000
meters about 500 feet, and the Diane
ter of the tube at the bottom is seven cen
timeters. Boring to such depth, and,
moreover. through solid rock, was almost
impossible prior TO the invention of the
Mannesmann tube; the greater strength
of this tube, as compared with others,
makes it possible to use tubes Of thinner
gauge IL is expected that a final depth
OF yet another 500 meters (some 1870
feet can be reached, and a number of in-
teresting observations on temperature,
etc, will be made.
