INSIDE THE EARTH.
A scientists Idss Of What Might Be
Discovers.


A Scientists Idss Of Whist Might Be
Discovers.
Il have had the idea for some time
past" writes Camille Flammarion In
the London Strand Magazine. of sink
ing a shaft into the earth for the ex-
press purpose OF scientific exploration.
descending as far below the surface
as the utmost resources OF modern
science would permit
The first result would be to obtain
an inexbaustibIe source Of heat which
might be distributed and applied to In
dustrfsI purposes. According to the
most authentic estimates. the boiling
point viii be found at depth OF about
two miles.
without doubt we should also dis
cover springs of hot water. like those
which were found during the construc-
tion of the Simplon tunnel In 1908.
with a temperature of 4S to 50 de-
grees centigrade. We should also come
upon subterranean rivers and cascades.
which might be employed az q motive
power.
The second result would be the ex-
ploration of this unknown world Il
self. Who knows what curiosities Of
geology and paleontology might be
revealed By this investigation into
these dark abysses Of the earth-what
mines Of iron. Of copper. OF precious
metals such as gold. platinum. silver.
radium and of elements hitherto un-
known and unsupported?
This idea has been forcibly recalled
to my attention In consequence OF the
recent earthquakes and the extremely
contradictory opinions Of biologists
upon the interior state Of the globe
L. this globe liquid or solid? From the
most ancient times scientific men have
considered the problem under all its
bearings without having succeeded in
lighting upon any satisfactory solu-
ton.
The railway tunnels which pierce
the mountains have done no more than
traverse the inequalities Of the crust
Of the earth. The deepest shaft which
penetrates the earth was constructed
between 1898 and 1902 at Paruscho-
witt. near Rybnik. and Is about a mile
and a quarter IN depth. scarcely more
than an Insignificant scratch upon the
surface Of our globe"

Daming Juniper Canon

OF the many irrigation and power
projects now under foot in Rio Blsnco
and Routt counties, the Steamboat
Springs Pilot notes the following:
''One of the newest OF the projects,
which is said to have reached n basis
where construction Is certain, IL the
great dam at Juniper canon, which
will be l75 feet high and will provide
water for $1,000 acres Of land in the
famous Maybell valley. 1t will gen.
crate more than twice the electricity
of the Gore canon plant OH Grand
river. The backed up water will
make lake Of over "a square miles.
The company which has taken hold
of the project expect to construct an
electric line to connect with the Rio
Grande and Colorado Midland at
New Castle.
1.-THE lake will furnish navigation
for boats and electric launches and
will greatly aid the building up Of a
splendid resort at Juniper Springs.
1t will be surrounded by the finest
fruit and vegetable growing country
in Colorado and the experience Of
other fruit growing sections will
bring this region into favor and
prominence in = very short time.
There are vast possibilities planned
and will be carried out by the
Chicago capitalists who have inter-
ested themselves in the project and
that desert will certainly be trans
formed into n paradise In the next
few years"

cab that Chief Bains of Windsor had
waiting for them. I'D like TO take a
farewell drink there" added the pris-
oner to Murray, and the latter nodded
assent and ordered the cabman to
drive to the barroom in question.
Phipps' friends gathered there in full
force and crowded around him, shak.

pressions of sympathy. Finally Muir
ray delivered himself of a short speech
TO the crowd that was trenchant and
,, very much to the point.
Its all very well to be sorry,

Phipps needs something more than
that. What he wants is money for his
defense and I'm ready to start col.

his statement by making a handsome
donation and the crowd, growing en-.

given TO the prisoner. That done Muir.

gled savagely, desperately, and finally
tore himself loose with a wrench so
powerful that the momentum hurled
him over the wall, and he fell heav.
lily to the ground below There he lay
for some time, severely bruised and
only half conscious. He was aroused
by hearing voices In the jail, and stag
gering to his feet dragged himself
away in search of hiding place.
He came to a graveyard. and as he
crawled along in the darkness, fell
head foremost into newly dug grave.
Silent he lay without moving. with
fast-closed eyes and rigid body. He
heard creaking and humping and
family, as though far away. he heard
the harsh rattle of earth falling on
the casket. Yet no weight seemed to
press upon him, but this did not sur.
prise him, for he was long past the
stage of establishment 1t was the end,
and nothing mattered now. He heard
the rumble of wheels as the carriages
departed and the footsteps of the
, mourners died away,
His awakening came suddenly ac-
companied by a cold thrill of horror,
as his eyes opened upon the utter
darkness. He tried to move, but his
entire frame seemed to be paralyzed.
With a rush of recollection there
crossed his mind the memory of the
burial, the prayer and singing, He
moved his head feebly and through
the hay caught sight of the twinkling
stars. Slowly and with great pain he
managed TO rise to sitting posture.
| Where was the coffin, where the six
feet of earth underneath which II lay?
He staggered to his feet and saw that
the grave he occupied was empty. His
brain whirled madly in maze OF tor
turing conjectures. What did II all
mean? He tried to Chamber out, but
fell back exhausted. He lay back on
the hay, rested and tried again. II
was the work of an hour for him Ia
drag his feeble limbs over the edge OF
the pit, but at last he succeeded. Then
the mystery was solved. Close beside
the open grave from which he had
emerged a new-made mound stood
darkly in the moonlight. The buria

His progress was very slow. His
destination was the river, which he
reached an hour after midnight, and
where he found an old boat, half full
OF water He discovered piece of
board. crawled into the boat, showed
off and began to paddle. When dawn
was breaking he reached the American
