Concrete Tank For ON.

One of the mining companies in
Nevada develops power for operating
its drills and hosting machinery by
using petroleum as fuel. It wanted
to have a sufficiently large tank to
hold from three thousand to FIVE
thousand barrels of oil, but decided
that one of steel would be pretty ex-
pensive. It's engineers advised hav-
ing one Of concrete, a basin for it
being excavated in the earth The
walls are very sloping. The length
OF the finished reservoir is eighty
four and one-half feet, It's breadth
thirty-fiye, and its depth eight. Ex7
cept at the edge, where a thickness
of twelve inches was adopted, the
walls are nowhere more than four
inches thick. The mixture employed
in the concrete contains equal parts
OF cement, sand and broken stone
AS the tank has been in use only
short time, 1t does not seem pos
sible to say how perfect it will prove.
The capacity is put at 400 barrels,
and dirt is excluded by means of a
wooden cover. New York Tribune.

The odor of Metals.

Many persons are sensitive to the
characteristic odor of metals; others
deny that metals possess any odor,
and support their opinion with the
assertion that no substance can pos
sess an odor which does not give off
by volatilization invisible floating
particles. Recently series of ex-
periments has been made by G. Gruhn
which is regarded as proving the ex-
istence of doors emanating from all
metals. At ordinary temperatures
these odors are in many cases almost
imperceptible. But they becoAe
stronger when the metal is heated
Yet if the heating Is continued a
long time the odor disappears.
Gruhn's conclusion is that every
metal produces continually gaseous
matter, composed not Of the atoms
OF the metal, but of a product of
their chemical transformation. He
has even succeeded in isolating and
combining in vase the odorous
emanation from a metal.
