NINE FIRE BURNED I'll YEARS.
Put Out After Consuming $25,OOO,OOO
Worth OF Coal.

Summit Hill, Pa, Jan. 3O.-After de-
stroying about $25,000,000 worth OF
good anthracite coal, a mine fire that
started 5l years ago near this village
in Northeastern Pennsylvania, has
lust been checked. If this latest at
tempt had not been successful the
subterranean fire would have spread
into the Lansford Valley and endan-
gered 400,000,000 tons OF coal, about
81 900, 900, 900 worth.
Tt was on February Is, 1859, two
years before the Civil War began, that
the blaze was discovered in some
abandoned workings in the Mammoth
vein, near the east end of the Summit
Hill basin This basin may b. COM
pared to the thumb ot mans hand.
The fire started near the end OF the
thumb" which is 900 feet wide at
the narrowest and 1,5OO feet wide at
it, broadcast point, and worked IT, way
toward the main part OF the hand. "
If it once got there the chance or con-
quering it would be small.
Almost from the time IT was dis
covered, attempts were made TO put
out the fire. In the sixties there was
plan to dig a great open cut, with
| SlOping sides, across It's pain, the
theory being that when the fire reach
ed this break in the coal 1t would &C
no further. The project was found tc
be so expensive, however, that it could
i not be carried out.
Many years later the attempt was
made to fill a broad area with culm
washed down through holes borec
from the surface, and thus block the
course of the fire. This, too, proved
failure; the fire went straight OF
past the barrier.
After much study w. A. Lathrop
president of the Lehigh Coal and Navi
cation Company, which owns the prop
erty, decided that the only way tt
stop the fire and prevent the destruc
ton of millions of tons of coal was t.
build clay barrier across the basin
extending down to water level. Th'
barrier would have to be approximate
ly 900 feet long.
This plan has been prosecuted will
entire success, though under the great
est difficulties.

Electric motors car be applied to all

The ad%aptability Of electrical energy
is only limited by human imagination
to devise new ways to put it to work.
New methods of applying it are invent

The General Electric Company has
perfected the new tungsten lamps for
200 and $50 volt circuits. This was
formerly thought to be too high a volt
age for the new lamps.
Germany used 300, 900 horse power

The city of Naples will soon be light
