GETTING OIL FROM SHALE.

Getting oil from a stone is one of
the most recent accomplishments OF
the mineral experts of the United
States geological survey. While the
survey men are cautious and conserv-
alive as to their find, like all other
government scientists, they have ad-
United enough to indicate that in the
bituminous shales of Utah and Colora-
do there is large reserve supply of
oil that will soon become an impor-
tant commercial factor to the nation.
The oil experts not only tramped
over the entire district to get an idea
OF the extent and thickness of the
shales, but they also set up a plant
right on the ground to determine the
amount of oil and other distillation
products that should be obtained. DIR.
David t. Day, the expert In charge
of the petroleum investigations of the
geological survey, has designed a port
able still which was set up at various
places accessible to the railroad
where an abundant supply OF the best
shale could be procured The basic
principle of the operation was to heat
the shale, thus vaporizing the vola-
tile hydrocarbons and destructively
distilling the other forms OF organic
matter In the shale.
The amount of oil obtained In the
various tess ranged from ten gallons
TO the ton of shale to 81 gallons. the
average for all the tests being so
gallons. Some of the beds Of shale
mined were too thin to Ee probably
exploited under present commercial
conditions and 1t was determined to
disregard the run OF oil from all shale
less than three feet thick. The aver
age from the thicker shale was 22h
gallons OF oil to the ton of shale. In
regard 10 this the investigators say:

SOLVING THE SMOKE EVIL.

The federal government does not
like the idea of preaching to the pub
lie that smoke Is unnecessary In burn
ing coal while 1t has federal build
ings throughout the country that In
some instances violate all the ordl-
nances there are on the smoke prob
lem. 1t believes that wherever and
whenever possible, IL it has something
of value for the people, 1t ought TO
illustrate this itself by way or ex-
ample.
The bureau of mines has for a num-
Der of years been investigating the
proper burning of coal and has all the
time been maintaining in smoky
Pittsburgh an experiment station that
has been operated without objection
able smoke. In these experiments
the bureaus experts have found that
different Goals from different parts or
the country require different types OF
furnace If the coal is to be burned
economically and without smoke by
using an experimental furnace the ex-
perts have discovered number OF
cardinal principles that they say
ought to be put in operation In every
municipality in the United States
The first step in this direction was
taken the other day when Representa-
tive M. D. Foster, chairman OF the
house committee on mines and min
ing. introduced bill which provides
that all wood, coal, oil, gas or other
fuel to be purchased and used by any
executive department or Independent
establishment at the seat OF govern
ment or elsewhere shall be purchased
in accordance with the recommends
lions of and under specifications pre-
pared by the bureau of mines.
The bill also gives the bureau the
right to investigate the furnaces now
in use. the manner of handling, stor-
ing and using of coal and to recon-
mend such changes as will result In
the greatest economy to the govern
ment. 1t still further provides that
all the coal used by the government
shall be bought on what is known as
the heating unit basis, the govern
ment by this method buying heat
rather than coal as coal.

WIRELESS TORPEDO.

Peculiar interest attaches at this
time to the announcement that both

thing that has been invented by John
Hays Hammond, Jr., son of the fam
GUS mining engineer who made his
millions in South Africa. Young
Hammond several years ago took up
a study of wireless telegraphy, and
got along so we'll that his father,
money being no object, established at
Gloucester, Mass, what today is
known as the Hammond radio re-
search laboratory.
The result of this has been the in
vention by HamUond of a mechanism
for operating a torpedo by "non-inter-
ferable radio impulses" from a land
station. Hitherto 1t has been posi-
BILE to operate torpedo from shore
at an eight-mile speed, but the con-
troll has always lacked the fundamen-
tai essential of immunity from inter
ference by an enemy. In other words.
hostile battleship against which a
land-operated torpedo might be di-
rected could, with its own wireless
radio impulses, interfere with and
negative those of the land station.
Mr.. Hammond's invention is cred
tied with making such interference
boomerang for an enemy, for with his
new device. in case interference is
attempted, the radio forces impelling
the projectile, instead of losing their
efficiency. are strengthened and the
torpedo is drawn toward its mark at
an increased rate of speed. The war
and navy departments are so much In
terested in Hammond's device that
they are now cooperating with him
In the work of his laboratory.

las this average will compare ia
vorably with the yield of the Scotch
oil shale, it seems probable that the
shale of Utah and Colorado may at
the lowest estimate equal in value
that of the well-known shale of Scot
land, from which petroleum has been
successfully manufactured for a long
time. However, the full extent or the
distribution Of the shale and the
amount of petroleum in it have not
been adequately determined, and much
additional work must be done before
these facts can be fully and satisfac-
torily known"
The territory in which this oil shale
is found is described as. the Green

BOOST FARMING

In circular issued by Mr.. f. L.
Brown, vice president Of the Denver
L Rio Grande railroad, announcement
is made of the appointment, effective
April lst, of Prof. W. H. Olin as com.
missioner Of agriculture for the Denver
L Rio Grande.
This is an entirely new departure
for the Rio Grande and marks the be-
development in the territory served by
that line.
Professor Oiin will devote his entire
time to the work, the major portion
being employed in visiting the agri-
cultural districts, holding meetings
with farmers, giving advice and sug-
gestions Is to seed selections, produc-
tion and markets, and At all times e.
operating with persons engaged in az
riculture.
Professor Olin is 4 practical as well
as a scientific farmer. He is a native
Of California, was raised on . farm in
Kansas, and graduated from the State
Agricultural college of Kansas in 1882.
He was principal of high schools and
superintendent of city schools at va
rious points in Kansas until 1902. In
l902-4 he was instructor in farm crops
at the Iowa State Agricultural college,
Ames, Iowa, and there had charge Of
experimental crop work of Iowa sta
ton. In l9O4-7 he was professor of
Agronomy in Colorado Agricultural col
lege, Fort Collins, and in 1909 vice
dean of agriculture in the same insti-
tuition. He had general supervision of
the field station crop work of Colorado
station in l9O4-9. In l9O9-11 he was
industrial commissioner of the Denver,
Laramie L Northwestern railway.
From 1911 to the present time he has
been director of agricultural extension
work in the University of Idaho, Boise.
Since 1901 Professor Olin has been
contributor to the leading agricui-
tural journals, and in 1912 wrote for
the irrigation farmers of the west
Manual Of Irrigation Farming" He
has also written many station bullet
ins for farm practice, and now has
numerous treatises on agricultural sub
jects under way.
In his new work Professor Olin will
cooperate with the U. g. Department
Of Agriculture, the county agricultural
agents and all others engaged in prae-
tical and scientific agriculture, fruit
growing and stock raising. The Den
yer L Ria Grande considers itself for
tunate in having secured the service
Of SO experienced . man, and It ID con
fidently believed that the results Of
his work will be mutually beneficial
to the farming communities and the
railroad.

can send 4 message along this wire.
straight from here to Stamboul."
The villagers were incredulous
That is impossible. How can = mes
sage run along . wire!"
The headman thought awhile; then
he hit upon the proper explanation.
Imagine" he said. "A dog that IL ter.
ribly long. and whose tail 10 stretched
like the wire on these poles: Imagine
that his tail 10 20 long that he reaches
from here to Stamboul. Now, suppose
We pinched his tail here. Wouldn't
he howl IN Stamboul?"
