TESTING THE EARTHS AGE.
Why the Temperature Does Not Steadily Rise as One De-
ScendS Below the Surface.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 23.-In the
geological laboratory of Harvard uni
versity an interesting series of expert
ments is being carried on to determine
the age of the earth. The question is
an old one and many guesses of more
or less scientific exactness have been
made in the past endeavors to solve it.
These have been based for the most
part on the situation and formation of
rock and earth deposits or the decay
of vegetable matter. Professor B. O.
Pierce and r. w. Wilson, who are car
rying on the present tests, are work
ing by a new process which involves
the use of mechanism for testing the
conductivity of different 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 levels and other
questions of deep shafting. 1t 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
accuracy.
The Investigations are being carried
on under the auspices of the Runford
fund, and the professors who are

colors emulating the tints of precious
stones and the hues of the rainbow.
darting hither and thither, combine to
form a most enchanting aquarium of
nature.
The naturalist, Poey, says there are
GAL distinct species of fish in the Cuban
waters. Among those that delight the
sportsman are red snapper, lista,
manta, gallego, cubera, surela and gar
fish. The sierra, which weighs from
40 to 60 pounds, is extremely game, as
is the romeo, so-called because it shores
when brought out of the water. For
heavy sport, fishing for sharks, which
are good for nothing, or the gusa,
which weighs from 400 to 600 pounds
and is excellent eating, offer abundant
exercise. 1t is a daily occurrence to
see schools of fish numbering from hun
dreds to many thousands, each fish
weighing from one to four pounds,
swimming around the bays and har-
borS waiting for a bait. Any Amer
lean boy who enjoys good fishing can
find his fondest dreams more than
satisfied in Cuba.
Delicious shrimDs, crabs and lob
sters, oysters and CLAIMS abound. The
Holsters have no claws and weigh from
two to eight pounds. They are caught
at night in shallow places along the
sandy beach, a torch, harpoon and net
being the necessary outfit. Some of the
rivers abound in alligators, but few
hunt them.

| non ball the earth is cooling off from
the surface towards its center but the
general pressure on all sides prevents
the conffagration from raging within.
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 except in the Calumet and Hecla
mine.
In well which is over 5000 feet deep
near Pittsburg, Pa, Professor Hallock
of Columbia college found that the
temperature rose one degree for every
so feet the thermometer was lowered
At 5000 feet the temperature was
found to be 1905 degrees FIJI. AT
$500 the temperature was 12S degrees.
In another deep well near Wheeling,
Pa, the temperature at 1850 feet is 10
degrees. In the Sperenberg salt wen
near Berlin, Germany, the temperature
at 4,170 feet is 10 degrees. The Schal-
adabach salt well near Leipsic has a.
temperature of 1855 degrees at $40
feet. Yet these temperatures are sur
passed as far as rapid rise is con-
cerned, in holes bored in geyser re-
gions. In the Sutro tunnel which does
not go far beneath the surface the
heat is so intense that the men en-
ployed therein are compelled to work
in 20 minute shifts.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

| through would depend directly on the
| conductivity of the slabs. In its pas
/ sage through the slabs the heat would
encounter the thermo-couples and in
warming them would cause them to
produce a small current of electricity
the strength of which would depend
directly on the amount of heat. Thus
the exact conductivity of the rock can
easily be determined. The apparatus
standing on its table in Jefferson ply
steal laboratory in Cambridge is I'M
notwithstanding enough. The steam
which sometimes escapes from the
jacketed cylinders rises and mixes with
the steam of the ice. The recording
instruments are on another table. Near
by are the boilers in which the steam is
made and small motor attached by
belts to a paddle in the ice tray keeps
the ice-moving constantly in its COM
partment. This is necessary, for if the
ice were allowed to rest its cooling
effect would not be nearly so great. A
great many marbles have been tested
in this machine and test of the Calu-
met rock is now going on. This rock
appears to be a poor quality of sand
stone and strange as 1t may seem, in
addition to its low conducting quality
it is so very brittle that the very great
est care has to be exercised in placing
it in and taking it out of the apparatus.
It's human interest for the spectator
becomes paramount when he thinks
that this rock approximately once lay
nearer the earth's center than any
other brought to the surface within
memory of man.
BY testing the conductivity of all
the rock on the globe an approximate
idea may be gained concerning the
length of time it has taken the earth
to cool. Thus an approximate state
ment of its age, other things consid-
ered,. may be made. The immediate
utility of the experiments, however,
consists in the ultimate calculation of
the conductivities and hence the tenn
peratures of rocks and sub-surfaces of
mining regions. In some places, notably
in South Africa. the rise of tempera-
ture below ground is very rapid If the
true gradient for all parts of the world
can be stated definitely much unneces-
sary- local experimentation can be
saved. A miner would know then
whether or not it was feasible to carry
on extended operations far under
ground. Professors Pierce and Will
son expect soon to do this.

with material for the research by Pro-
lessor Alexander A.gassiz. Professor
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 continues as plentiful
as ever. Immense fortunes have been
taken out of this great hole, and it is
of value to scientists because the shaft
being now nearly a mile deep has per
mitted examination of the interior of
the earth, such as has not been had
before. It has been agreed among
scientists generally that raging fires
no longer exist in the interior of the
earth. They believe that the center of
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 fallen can

system Of ventilation. Seventy degrees
is the natural temperature at the bot
tom OF The mine. Professor Agassiz
has made some elaborate experiments
IN testing the general temperature of
the mine. He caused to be placed at
regular depths a number of thermome-
tiers. He had them walled up in inches
in the rock, and left them there months
at time. These thermometers were
self-registering. That is, the mercury
would ascend to the point of the highest
temperature which acted upon them
during their stay in the rock. but a.
crookin the mercury tube prevented
the mercury from ever descending. 1t
