Natural steam Power.

HARVESTING the winds and tides and
currents has done SO much to increase
mans ability that II Is natural for In
ventors to think Of still further tapping
the natural forces OF the universe to
make machinery 60 With gas and oil
shooting up from internal reservoirs
under perfect control, the possibility
OF utilizing the earth's internal heat ia
cre8te steam. which may be piped to
the surface, does not seem a physical
absurdIty. On this point the American
Inventor OF recent date says:
IT Is not merely question Of Eettins
steam, but a question OF the quantity OF
steam to be had. The great difficulty ls
not In obtaining steam from the interior
OF the earth, because that involves mere
ly n little extra labor In boring down
into the hot area, and II IL comparatively
a. easy TO bore down 10000 feet as 5000,
but IN order % give the steam CONNER

V|RGIN|A'S FUNDS
FOR RIFLE RANGE
State Has Sufficient Sum Avail
able to Establish One
or More.
T,mes-Dispatch Bureau,

Washington. D. c.. Sept. s. 1907.
There is now in the Treasury or the
United States, subject to the, order OF
the Governor Of Virginia. s15,146.40, to
be used for rifle practice purposes.
This includes the construction of a rifle
range, If the State authorities shall
see fit to do so. Besides this, there Is
an additional amount. $3s,905s6. avail
able for arms. equipment and camp
purposes, the same payable upon the
order Of the Governor of the State.
Every year Congress makes an ap-
propriation for the volunteer soldiery
or militia of the country. This money
Is divided by the number OF Represent
tatives and Senator'S in Congress. and
each State is given portion In the
proportion that It's number of Senators
and Representatives bears to the whole
number of Senators and Representa-
tives. This money is then available
until used.
Last year the total appropriation for
this, s1.5O0,o00 was set aside hytr the
War Department for arms. equipment
and for camp purposes, and 100000 for
rifle practice. Virginia's share of this
appropriation amounted to s39,905.S6
for arms, equipments, etc, and SILL
9S6.S2 for rifle practice. The regula-
lions of the War Department provide
that as much of the former amount
as is desired by the State officials may.
be transferred to the fund for rif1o
practice, but that no part of the ritic
practice fund may be used for equip
ment, etc. Therefore, there Is APP
proxlmateiy $4,000 which may beused
for rifle range and rifle practice. II
the State authorities see tit to expend
ii in this way. There is several thou
sand dollars left over from former APP.
preparations, so that the State now
has approximately $4,000 available for
militia purposes from congressional APP
propriations, of which not less than
S15,l4641 is to be expended in rifle
practice, and any amount in addition
thereto that the State authorities may
deem Wise to take from the fund for
arms, equipments and camp purposes. 4
