nine times the size Of the Trinidad
lake. This larger area, however, does
not indicate 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 1t is in
Trinidad, although it is softer. Its
composition differs considerably from
that of Pitch lake. The water which 1t
contains is present as mixture and
not as an emulsion.
Another asphalt which Is coming into
general use in the United States is
found in California. 1t is called Alca-
traz, which is trade name rather than
that of specific kind of asphalt. It
occurs quite differently from the South
American product There are no as
phalt lakes in California. 1t is 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 off the lighter oils
from the crude oil found in California
and elsewhere.
There are many aspha1tfc deposits in
California but they have not been de-
veloped. AS rule, the material must
be mined like coal and afterward f1uxed
with liquid asphalt. In Indian Terri
tory, Texas and Kentucky are to be
found abundant deposits of rock as
phalt, which have been used success
fully in laying payements. Owing to
freight charges, however, these mate
rails can be used only at nearby points.
There are springs of asphalt in Mexico
which resemble those In South Amer
lea, only that the substance is rather
softer. WILLIAM GRIFFITH.

Nervousness
A Prompt and Permanent Cure by
New Method.

NEW M0eu00s
Nervousness is condition not easy
to define, but the commons everyday,
use Of the term indicates its prevail
ence.
Nervousness marks a lack OF nerve
force, lowering of vital energy, and
is the starting point Of prostration Of
the nerves, brain and vital organs.
Nervousness is not disease, but
condition caused by exhaustion Of
some of the vital elements OF nerve;
matter. Wheeler'e Nerve VitaHzer
contains all the chemical parts that
make nerves strong and powerful, and
when taken into the stomach they are
liberated in the form of gases which
are taken up by the blood and from It
absorbed by the nerves. This absorp-
ton continues until all the elements
lacking are supplied and health re-
store.
There is positively no form of nerve.
or organic weakness, even Of the most
advanced forms, that will not yield to
the influence Of this medicine. Write
today for free book containing proof Of
this statement.

tropical sun the asphalt becomes quite
mobile, and one begins to sink slowly.
Owing to the large amount of water
which it contains it does not become
sticky.
When asphalt is dug from any por-
ton of the lake the hole is filled again
in the course of a 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
The crude Pitch lake asphalt is an
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 large percentage is mineral mat
ter Both Of these are essential to
good pavement. The water, however,
is Objectionable. and to get rid of it
the process called refining is employed.
1t is in reality nothing but drying. The
crude material is ground fine and then
subjected to heat.
