A TEN MILE HOLE.
The ragtime ditty persists in the
statement that there's a hole in sthe
bottom Of the sea-"
There may be or not, but
Some day there may be hole into
the very heart of the earth.
England, you know, is asking the
question, "What shall we do for coal
when natures supply is exhaustedl"
That is a vital problem in that country
Of deep mines Sir William Ramsay
says the way to get a limitless supply
Of light, heat and power is to tap the
molten or semimolten interior Sof the
earth.
Big thing.
And the discussion Of it has' brought
out the fact that governments have
made some costly experiments, in Dor.
ing deep holes.
For instance.
The German government has pierced
the earth's crust in Silesia to the depth
Of about 10000 feet. nearly two miles
At La Chapelle France has made a
bore Of about the same depth for ex
perimental purposes, and the Russian
government has gone to about the same
depth ct Stavropol.
1t costs money to probe into the
earth's vitals.
Turbine" Parsons, the eminent en-.
gineer, says that TO drill hole ten
miles deep into the crust of the earth
would require an expenditure Of S25..
OOO.OOC
However
That sum Of money is small in com.
parison with the millions the United
States will pay for the Panama canal.
American ingenuity and capital could
easily bore the ten mile hole.
OF course it is hot down that deep,
and there would be danger in poking
around in the hidden fires of old earth.
The probe might make a vent that
would develop an unwacome volcano.
However that might be. the discus.
sion of the big projects raises some in-
teresting reflections.
The earth is big. Man is bigger.
That is to say, man has attributes of
supremacy that earth never can have.
Mind is ever lord Of matter and must
be. When man was given the earth to
subdue it no limitations were imposed
upon him. The whole realm Of nature
IS his.
He will not rest until he has dug
down to the furnace fires that are un.
der his feet and is able to navigate
the upper air like bird.
And when he has done that he win
go on investigating the rest of the rni
verse.

that the damage done by the frost will

whose chief dependence was upon the
varieties which suffered the most on

loss.
The estimate is that 20 per cent Of
the strawberry crop expected in Caro-

Late frosts are said to have practically
destroyed the peach crop in this coun-

Apple-Rrowing is yearly assuming

What the Street Liahts Cost.

Tn an article in The Republican a few days ago. suggesting the advan- tage of maintaining at least a part of the street lights used during the fair. there was such a loose state ment of a fact that it has been mis- understood. It was stated that though the decorations for the fair week had cost subscribers along the decorated streets 40 cents a foot for the week, the electric light company would probably make better terms if the lights were used for longer period, especially as all the wires were already in place. It was not meant that the lights had cost 40 cents a foot; as matter of fact the writer had not been informed as to the proportion of their cost to the whole cost per foot of the decora shows that $500 feet of streets were shows that $500 feet of street were lighted. the total frontage. including the wire on cross streets, being 11.600 feet. The cost of this was $500 for the week. so that the cost per front foot was .O577 cents.
 Whether or not that figure might have been reduced If any part Of the electric decorations had been con- tinued we do not know. but it may might have been secured, since the equipment for that extra street light ing involved s1,s50 worth of material for which the company will have no use until a similar occasion calls for it.
