Fuel oil is destined to accomplish

and most striking of which has just
been announced. Ii sounds like a
fairy tale. but S250.OOO in cash is to be
invested in carrying out the plan, and
the Southern Pacific railroad is sup
porting il. The plan has as its ohiec;
the turning of an unimportant Texas
county into thriving center of life
and activity, through the agency Of
electricity.
Harris county is the place selected,
and the industry to be developed, is
the raising of rice on an immense
scale, all the power to be supplied by
electricity. even TO the flooding of the
fields, harvesting the crop, milling the
rough rice, lighting and heating the
homes of farmers and citizens of near
by towns, supplying heat for their
cooking stoves, and supporting the
power for transporting the product
over network of trolley lines. Every
necessity and comfort of the people
will come through the agency of elec-
tricity.
Fuel oil will produce the steam which
will operate the big central power
plant, and through its use the cost
of operation will be just about half
what it would he were coal or other

sound Tra nsmissiOn

A curious instance of the trxnsmis-
sion of sound through the earth was
noticed by two French engineers at
Kef. On July % they happened to be
in an excavation in a volcano in the
Dyr mountains which has been extinct
from time immemorial. The altitude
of the excavation was about 1890
feet above the sea level. Suddenly
they heard the sounds of heavy can
nonading. the reports following at
regular intervals. Returning to Ksf
day or two later they read in the
papers that in the course of some
naval maneuvers the French feet on
the day and at the hour at which they
had heard the reports had been en-
gagged in bombarding Bizerta. The
sound. therefore, must have been
transmitted from Bizerta to Dyr. a
distance of somewhat over 100 miles.
