decay of vegetable matter. Prof. B. o.
Pierce and r. w. Wilson, who are carry
ing on the present tests, are working by
a new process, which involves the use of
mechanism for testing grades of rock
taken from different places, including the
deepest hole that has ever been sunk into
the earth. incidentally, the process also
involves interesting mining problems,
namely, the getting Of gold from very deep
ing. It will probably settle the question
of why certain parts of the interior of the
earth are hotter or colder than other
parts, laying down rules of scientific ac-
curacy.
The investigations are being carried on
under the auspices of the Rumford fund,
and the professors who are conducting
them are being supplied with material for
the research by Prof. Agassiz. Prof.
Agassiz is chief owner of the Calumet
and Hecla mine the deepest in the world.
The upper levels of this mine have been
worked out, but as the shafts have been
driven deeper and deeper, the ore contin-
ues as plentiful as ever. Immense fortunes
have been taken out of the great holes,
and II is Of value TO scientists because
the shaft, being now nearly a mile deep,
has permitted examination of the interior
of the earth, such as has not been had be
fore. II has been agreed upon among sell
entists generally that raging fires no long
er exist in the interior of the earth. They
believe that the center of the earth is
very hot, but that this latent heat is what
remains of the cooling process which has
been going on for millions of years. Like
a fallen cannon ball, the earth is cooling
off from the surface towards its center,
but the general pressure on all sides pre-
vents the conhagration from raging with
in. According TO this hypothesis the tenn
perature ought to increase gradually but
surely as the earth IS penetrated. This
has proved to be the case in every deep
hole which has been dug in the earth ex-
cept in the Calumet and Hecla mine.
Five Thousand Feet Underground.
In a well, which is over 5000 feet deep,
near Pittsburg, Pa, Prof. Hallock of Co
lumba College found that the tempera-
ture rose one degree for every fifty feet
the thermometer was lowered. Al 5000
feet the temperature was found to be 1903
degrees Fahrenheit. At 5,502 the tempera-
ture was 12S degrees. In another deep well
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-10-02

near Wheeling, Pa, the temperature at
400 feet is 10 degrees. In the Sperenburg
salt well, near Berlin, Germany, the tenn
perature at 4,170 feet is 10 degrees. The
Schaladabach salt well near Leipsic has
a temperature Of 1855 degrees at $40 feet.
Yet these temperatures are surpassed as
far as rapid rise is concerned, in holes
bored In geyser regions. In the Sutro tun-
mel which does not go far beneath the
surface the heat Is so intense that the
men employed therein are compelled to
work in twenty minute shifts.
Now ali this is directly in contradis-
tinction 10 what has been found to exist
in the Calumet and Hecla mine. AT
depth of mile the iaborers work all Gay
in a temperature of 10 degrees, which con-
dillon il must be added is not brought
about by any elaborate system of venIila-
ton. Seventy degrees is the natural tenn
perature at the bottom of the mine. Prof.
Agassiz has made some elaborate expert
ments in testing the general temperature
of the mine. He caused 10 be placed at
regular depths a number of thermometers.
He had them walled up in inches in the
rock and left them there months at time.
These thermometers were self-registering

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 2s.-In the geo

an interesting series Of experiments Is be-

many guesses Of more or less scientific

deavors to solve it. These have been based
for the most part on the situation and for

the lower platform supports beneath 1t
a jacketed cylinder In which live steam
is kept flowing constantly. These plat
forms are not solid, that is, they are like
frames with holes in the middle, so that
the ice above and the steam below can
come into absolute contact with the slabs
of rock to be tested Thus 1t will be seen
that the top OF the pile of slabs is freez-
ing cold while the bottom is very hot
How is the passage of heat and cold
through the slabs to be measured?
An Interesting Process.
This process involves one of the princi-
pies of thermo-electricity. 1t must be ex-
planned that If two metals of dissimilar
conductive capacity are submitted TO the
action of heat a current of electricity VIII
be a result. For instance. if a short piece
of German-silver wire and an equal length
of copper wire are soldeTed together at
one end and then If this sodered joint is
held in the flame of a candle very small
ele trio current can be detected It the
free ends of the wires. Inc two wires
naturally form V, and IL several of these
VS. are soldered together the current gem
Grated will be stronger, just as win a bat
terry when extra cells are added TO it,.
Wires arranged in this manner are called
thermo- couples. There are other metals,
however, which, when combined
in thermo-couples are more een-
sitive, and hence produce strong
er currents than German-silver
and copper. In Harvard College it was
proposed to place a small thermo-couple
between the slabs of rock being tested.
The couples in this case were made of thin
fiat strips Of platinoid and copper. so that
the slabs could be pressed tightly together
Wires led out from the thermo-couples
and connected with a very delicate re-
cording apparatus. 1t viii be remembered
that the under side of the rock slabs was
not While the upper side was cold There
lore, the heat would endeayor constantly
to pass through the slabs toward their
cold side. The facility with which it pass
ed through would depend directly on the
-Onductivity of the slabs. In its passage
through the slabs the heat would encoun-
ter the thermo-cOuples and in warming
them would cause the m 10 produce a small
current of electricity, the strength of

prevented the mercury from ever descend
ing. 1t could always rise, but it could
never run back So it was compelled to
stay al the point of greatest temperature
When Prof. Agassiz unearthed his instru-
ments however, he found a great uni
formity in the. general temperature of his
mine. Evidently the gradual rise in tenn
perature did not hold in the Lake Superior
district, in which the mine is located, as
it did elsewhere.
Earth and Rock rs Conductors.
The question now arose. 'sWhy was
this sop Did 1t not have a strong hear
ing on the manner in which the earth
cooled during geological ages?" Could
not the condition be experimental upon
and the results be utilized in some eco
monte manner?" Clearly the condition
surrounding the copper mines in Michi-
gan was the result of the very low con-
ductivity of the surrounding rock. Evil
IDENTIFY this rock mad not the power of
conducting heat and cold to the degree
manifested by rock in other parts of the
earth. The internal heat of the earth
does not rise up through it as easily for
instance as does in the rock surrounding
the we'll upon which Prof. Hallock expert
mented near PIttsburg, Pa. Just what
is the difference, however, is not so easy
TO determine and this really is what Prof
Pierce and Wilson of Harvard are trying
10 mo out. w nSn tnSy nave done so
they viii have established a basis of cal
culatiou from which some new facts may
be cleaned and upon which some startling
theories may be built.
The apparatus in use In its way Is as
curious as the information ii is intended
TO discover. As it stands it is a growth
as various forms were tried before this
one was produced. The experimentors first
procured several slabs of rock from the
very bottom of the Calumet and Hecla
mine. Their idea was to cool a slab on
one side to the freezing point; to heat it
on the other side at the same time to the
boiling point, that is to say, to the en-
