of steam power. In some places large
sums have been wasted in unwise at
tempts at development, as, for exam
pie, in deep drilling at points where a
careful study OF geologic conditions
proves that suitable supplies are to be
found at shallow depths or not at all.
Expensive and Useless Drilling.
Deep-well drilling should not be at.
tempted without some knowledge of the
natural conditions. The biologists and
engineers of the geological survey know
OF many wells that have been drilled
from 600 to 1000 feet in depth in places
where an expert could have foretold with
certainty that no water would result.
Not infrequently people write to the
survey that they have spent hundreds
or perhaps thousands of dollars in drill
ing to great depths and inquire whether
they shall go deeper. An examination
of the geologic maps or data at hand
has more than once brought the reply
that the formation being drilled was not
water bearing.

with the increasing pollution of surface
waters by industry, wastes, and grow

North-central Indiana not only in
cludes many closely settled farming and
manufacturing centers, but is an area in
which there has been extensive develop
ment of the oil and gas industries, and
hence particular demand has arisen
for reliable information upon which to
base a proper practice in water-supply
development. In such development in
the future ground waters will play an
important part, as they have in the past.
They are utilized for domestic supplies,
for manufacturing enterprises of various
sorts, and by railroads and other users

GENUINE GREENHEART.
Is Being Sought for Panama Canal
Work

CLAYTON D. Nell of the United States
forest service sailed to-day from New
York for British Guiana to inspect
greenheart timber to be used in the con-
struction of docks and other marine
works for the Panama canal. He goes
at the request of the isthmian canal
commission, in order that the engineers
may be sure that they are getting gen
uine greenheart timber, for which a
number of inferior substitutes are Of
fered.
Genuine greenheart has the reputa.
tion of being the most resistant wood
to the attack of marine borers and to
decay. Borers are especially bad in
tropical waters. The wood is, in addi-
ton, hard, heavy, and durable, and not
subject to damage from impact and
wear. Indisputable records show that
the best grades of this wood surpass
iron and steel as to lasting qualities in
contact with salt water. 1t has been
known and used since 1869. Logs have
remained intact under water for 100
years. Lock gates in English canals
have been made of it for years, and the
only limit of their durability so far has
been the length of service of their iron
bolts and fastenings, which usually can
be renewed without much trouble.
Greenheart in Liverpool lock gates built
in 1856, removed to allow deepening
and widening of the ship channel in 1894,
was used over again when the gates
were reconstructed. The stills and fend-
ers of the lock gates at Panama will be
made of greenheart, and much OF the
docks will be constructed of the same
material
Nansen's ship, the Fran, and the
antarctic vessels, Discovery, used by one
of the Scott expeditions, and the Gauss,
used by Drygalski, were all planked with
greenheart.
The exceedingly great durability of
the wood is said to be due, at least in
part, to the presence of an alkaloid,
which is used as a substitute for chin
chona, the basis of quinine.
A number of other woods which grow
with greenheart in the tropical forests
of the Guianas resemble it so closely
that they are likely to deceive even an
expert. They have many of the quail
ties of the genuine timber, but in les
ser degree. Some are quite inferior, and
it is essential that they should be avoid
ed. In order that the canal commission
may be sure of the right wood, it asked
the forest service to assist it in an in

THE SAFETY OF SAVINGS
BANKS


There are certain fundamen
tai principles governing the in
vestment of money which ar
well understood by every SAT,
banker.
Some banks are so exceeding
| ly careful in regard to their in
vestments that they come to b,
known as ultra conservative
Others, seeking to earn large
dividends for their stockholders
reach out for extra high rate!
at the possible sacrifice of abso
lutte safety of principal.
The Hyde Park Savings Banl
has very properly come to bt
classed among the ultra-conserv
atives, because it's management
has never yielded to the tempta
ton offered by high rates of in
terest, lest, in so doing, the ele.
ment of absolute safety be sac.
rificed.
No bank has any right ia
claim to be especially conserva.
tive unless the actual facts and
figures are Forthcoming to SUBJ
stantiate that claim.
The Hyde Park Savings Bank
offers depositors and the public
the following facts. They are
taken from it's books which are
at all times open to anyone wish
ing to verify them:
First. In its nearly twenty
five years of existence it has
never owned note upon which
it received more than six per
cent. interest.
Second. It's average rate of
interest on all it's assets is less
than 51a per cent.
Third. It's investments on the
first day of July last in United
States, state, county, city, town
and school district bonds and
notes and on notes with these as
collateral, none of them drawing
more than five per cent. interest,
was more than $380,000, prob
ably a much larger sum than is
carried by any other bank, with
equal assets, in Vermont. This
that every depositor is
morally certain to get his money
whenever he wants it, as upon
this class of collaterals the bank
can secure money with which to
meet any reasonable demands
upon it.
Fourth. On the first day of
July last, the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bank had in cash and on
deposit with banks, banking as
sociations and trust companies,
s279, 294.60. Very much the |
arger part of this was drawing

leal both to those depositors
Who have their money in the
Hyde Park Bank, and to the peo-
BE of Vermont as well. The de-
,ositors know that a bank which
:arries such liberal line of cash
an, with practical certainty,
meet any demands which theyl

NEW YORK LEADING.
Cities of the Country in Building OPP
erations.

In 1912, according to figures gath
cred by the United States geological
survey, l43 of the cities of the country
having a population of $4,000 or more
spent .$9l9,s09,054 in building operations.
The greatest amount was spent by New
York City-$l63.5 l9,362; Chicago came
second, with $s3,l75,9O0; Brooklyn third,
$4O,537, 1884; Philadelphia fourth, $780,
1902, 405; and Los Angeles fifth, $3l,-
367,995. Twenty cities expended $l0,-
100000, or more in 1912 in new build
ings, additions or repairs. In 4S of the
leading cities the greatest gain was in
New York City, $27,Sl5, 647 and Los
Angeles, Cal, second, SS,363,8l0.
OF the l43 cities reporting to the
geological survey, l05 were able to fur
nish sufficient detail to enable the seq
regation of the statistics by classes of
buildings. Operations in these cities on
brick building tnew buildings, additions,
alterations, and repairs) cost $3909l5,-
800, all other forms of fre-resisting
buildings cost S79,743,093, and the cost
of wooden buildings, repairs, etc, was
$3.50, 7sl ,sSl--the total cost for all class
es in these cities being $500 ,440,573. Los
Angeles reported the largest number of
new wooden buildings, 1852, costing
Sl6,442, 1852. Detroit was second, with
new buildings costing 81 l,S03,4l0.
New York City reported the greatest
cost of fire-resisting buildings, including
additions and alterations, for 1912
1852, l93, 1893, or 3446 per cent of the
total cost of buildings of this class in
los cities. The following cities showed
increase in structures of this class in
1912 over 1911: Atlanta, $3,36s,90s, or
1882 per cent; Boston, S5,767 1927, or
4l.90 per cent; Buffalo, $1,000 1868, or
37.4 per cent; Detroit, S4,0S5,255, or
1857 per cent; Indianapolis, $564,322, or
l4.34 per cent; Los Angeles, $4,s2l, 5l1,
or 54.sl per cent; Milwaukee, $2,27s,462,
or 391l per cent; Minneapolis, $6l0,305,
or s.04 per cent; Oakland, S939,26T, or
45.0l per cent; Rochester, Sl,729,69O, or
57.40 per cent. San Francisco, $2,O06,-
772, or 1851 per cent; Seattle, 1921, 45o,
or 1888 per cent; and Washington, 49,
