nine times the size Of the Trinidad
lake. This larger area, however. does
not indicate q larger deposit Of the as
phalt, for in some places the substance
is not over ten feet in depth. There
are many springs OF soft asphalt, one
of them extending over seven acres.
The asphalt is handled much as it is in
Trinidad, although 1t is softer. It's
composition differs considerably from
that of Pitch lake. The water which It
contains is present as a mixture and
not as an emulsion.
Another asphalt which is coming into
general use in the United States is
found in California. It is called Alca-
trazs which is trade name rather than
that OF a specific kind Of asphalt. It
occurs quite differently from the South
American product There are no as
phalt lakes in California It 81 found
in veins similar to coal or mixed in
sand, from which the asphalt must be
extracted. A kind Of asphalt is also
produced by driving or the lighter oils
from the crude oil found in California
and elsewhere.
There are many asphaltfc deposits in
California. but they have not been de-
veloped. As a rule. the material must
be mined like coal and afterward duxed
with liquid asphalt. In Indian TERI
tory, Texas and Kentucky are 10 he
found abundant deposits Of rock as
phaIt, which have been used success
fully in laying pavements. Owing to
freight charges. however, these mate
rails can be used only at nearby points
There are springs Of asphalt In HFexico
which resemble those in South Amer
lea. only that the substance Is rather
softer. WILLIAM GRIFFITH.

tropical sun the asphalt becomes quite
mobile, and one begins to sink slowly.
Owing to the large amount OF water
which it contains it sSes not become
sticky.
When asphalt is dug from any por-
ton Of the lake the hole is filed again
in the course Of few days by new ma
terial rising from underneath. If a
good deal is taken from the excavation
the whole area of the lake is lowered in
consequence. This shows that the
mass is actually liquid. but much less
mobile than water. The composition of
the asphalt is the same no matter from
what part Of the lake the samples are
taken. Several islands from so to
$50 feet in diameter are found floating
on the surface of the lake. These do
not differ practically from ordinary is
lands, some of them containing trees
forty or fifty feet in height and being
covered with dense underground. One
of these islands has moved twenty-five
feet in one year.
In Trinidad the asphalt is dug with
picks just before dawn, when it has
cooled and is comparatively brittle.
The crude Pitch lake asphalt is an
emulsion Of water, bitumen, mineral
matter and some organic substance not
soluble in carbon disulphide. the SOL
vent for bitumen. An analysis shows
that less than half of the substance as
it comes from the lake Is bitumen and
that a large percentage is mineral mat
ter. Both Of these are essential to a
good pavement. The water. however
is Objectionable, and to get rid Of it
the process called refining is employed.
It is in reality nothing but drying. The
crude material is ground fine and then
subjected to heat.
Next to Trinidad, Venezuela has fur
nished during recent years the largest
amount of commercial asphalt About
los miles due west of Pitch lake lies
the Bermudez asphalt lake. situated in
the state Of Bermudez. Venezuela It
is about twenty miles from the sea as
the bird flies. but by the San Juan and
Guanoco rivers it is nearer forty. The
lake covers an area Of 1000 acres. being

To Record Burbank's Work.

In order to preserve an accurate record
Of the results of Luther Burbank's expert
ments in plant breeding, the Carnegie In
stitution has decided to send skilled bot
anist to Santa Rosa to remain perma-
nently. He will act as recording secre-
tary to Mr.. Burbank, and keep an account
of his failures well as his trumphs Thus
far Mr. Burbank S achievements are merely
matter of memory. He has never had
time to keep any record of what he has
done or of what he has been unable to do
or the reasons for it. The methods and
processes he has used are known only to
himself and the people to whom he has
incidentally described them. Thus a great
part of their value has been lost The fact
that he has improved the prune and made
1t ten times more valuable than it was in
former years, as source of wealth to Cal
norma, is known to everybody; but there
is no record of the process by which this
improvement was accomplished.
The same is true of all of Mr.. Burbank's
experiments. He has been at work for
twelve or fifteen years, doing wonders in
me plant Kingdom, the value and impor-
tance of which would be enhanced many
fold II he had kept an exact history of
each step and the result of each expert
ment. Such thing would have been al
a very busy man. He works from day
light until dark in his gardens in Santa
Rosa, and on his farm few miles from
that pretty little town. He has fifty to a
hundred visitors every day and is com
PEELED to deny himself to most OF them
He has a very large correspondence with
people all over the world. His postage bill
alone is over fifty dollars month. There
fore 1t has been impossible for him to
make notes of his daily labors.
To assist him in this work; to record fol-
the benefit of science the various steps in
the experiments in which he is now
gagged, failures and triumphs alike, the
executive committee of the Carnegie Insti-
tuition will send accomplished botanist,
whose reports will be given to the public
from time to time. This decision is of
especial Importance, because Of the many
sensational and ridiculous stories that have
been published concerning Mr. Burbank.
He is the habitual victim of yellow journal
ism and of gushing admirers who credit him
with all sorts of impossible and absurd dis
coveries A group of newspaper CORE
spondents in Santa Rosa and San Francisco
have sent out many sensational reports
about his work which have been accepted
as true. Hereafter it is proposed to pro-
tect Mr.. Burbank against such misrepresen-
tatlons by furnishing authorized statements
to the press whenever he has done any
thing of public interest
