THE HEAT AT EAnTa's CENTER
Prof. Hallock's Interesting 0bserva.
tions About Tenn psrature.

Philadelphia Record: In the course
Of his experiments. mnde with tho view
Of endeavoring 10 utilise the heat Of
the earth for commercial purposes,
Prof. William Hallock has discovered
that there is no hxed rule governing the
Increase Of the temperature az progress
Ii made toward the center.
Prof. Hallock has lowered thermome-
ters into the wells near Pittsburg and
Wheeling and found an increase OF one
degree for every 80 feet. The tempera-
ture OF the PittsburE we'll at the bottom
In 129 degrees. Other experiments else
where yield very different results. The
temperature at the bottom Of the Calu-
met and Hecla mine, Mt Houghton,
Mich. 1000 feet below the surface, 10
not more than 100 degrees. The heat
of the 2.500-foot level In the Comstock
lode Is las degrees. However. though
the increase varies In different locaii-
ties. the fact is clearly demonstrated
that the heat Of the earth's crust grows
gradually greater from the surface In
ward. Prof. Hallock says:
There would be not the nligh test
difficulty In obtaining steam from the
earth's interior. because that involves
merely little extra labor In boring
down into the very hot area. and Il Is
AZ easy. comparatively. TO bore 10000
feet as II Is to bore 5000: but. In order
To give the steam commercial value, a
method must be provided for dropping
the water to the hot area, allowing II
time TO heat. and yet having Il returned
10 the surface as steam, without for q
moment interrupting the now."

THE PRESERVATION OF WOOD.
Many Ingenious Methods by which
Timber Is Kept from Decay.

rev YORK Evening Post: On South
street are several concerns whose buoi-
ness Ia the preservation OF wood. Each
has lts own favorite method and each
experiments more or less toward OBJ
taining better and cheaper system. The
problem In very involved. and In full OF
rich reward for successful Inventors
II have been In the business 20 years."
said member Of one of these houses.
"and although In that time the trade
has progressed considerably. yet still
much remains to be done and whoever
does Il efficiently will make large for
tune. In spite OF the substitution Of
Iron and steel for wood In house and
bodybuilding. and In the construction
Of ships. piers and other structures, the
consumption OF wood increases yearly.
All wood decays. and It's value depends
chiefly upon Its durability. The ele-
ment OF decay Is only one factor In the
durability. Beside decay, there Is the
destruction os wood by teredos and
other marine creatures, and In tropical
countries by the white ants and other
forms Of insect life. The simplest
method OF preservation In charring.
Every old farmer knows that II he burns
the end OF chestnut post In the FIRE
until Il IL covered with thing coat of
charcoal. II will last from 10 to 30 years
longer when set up In the ground than
II put there In It's normal condition.
Next to this nre the points which do
excellent work IN cold and temperate
climates. A piece OF wood painted
every two or three years will last cen
turtles. but this does not apply to wood
employed on ships or In the piles Of
wharves and bridges. Marine animals
bore through the paint and attack the
wood beneath II. The paint acts On q
protector. but the protection In small
and limited. In this field the best re-
suits have been obtained by the use Of
coal tnr. copper paint. arsenic paint
and mercurial paint. When you reach
the tropics paint IL almost worthless so
far as preventing the attacks of white
ants Ia concerned. They bore q hole
through the paint. 90 into the interior
Of the log or timber. and eat out all the
tissue without disturbing the paint skin
on the outside. The only process which
seems absolutely efficient Is to charge
the wood with some poisonous fipid,
which Ia antiseptic. non-volatile, and
permanent. Solutions of sinc. iron. cop
per. arsenic. and mercury have been
tried. and have all given good results.
The best were obtained by forcing
through the pores of the wood strong
solution OF the double chloride OF am
monia and mercury. After the wood was
charged It was laid aside To dry. during
which operation the ammonia and the
water evaporated, leaving the corro.
sive sublimate uniformly distributed
through the ligneous tissue. This made
the lumber proof against any form OF
animal life.
why Is Il not universally usedp The
cost Il requires a heavy pressure and
expensive apparatus. and the mercury
itself is worth something like hail
