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-
ative as to their find, like all other
government scientists, they have adj
mitted 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. DR..
David T. Day, the expert in charge
of the petroleum Investigations of the
geological survey, has designed 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 tests ranged from ten gallons
to the ton of shale to 81 gallons, the
average for all the tests being 80
gallons. Some Of the beds of shale
mined were too thin to be prof1tably
exploited under present commercial
conditions and it was determined to
disregard the run of oil from all shale
less than three feet thick. The aver
age from the thicker shale was 221s
gallons Of oil to the ton of shale. In
regard to this the Investigators say:

COINS OF FOREIGN LANDS.

Among the foreign coins and medals
in the National Museum is fine Sc
ries from Great Britain and another
from France, while Austria, Belgium,
Italy, the Netherland, Norway, Por-
tugal, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland,
Porto Rico and the Philippines are
represented. The coinage of Spain
and the Spanish possessions is well
shown, and from Africa and Asia there
are many interesting specimens of
ancient and modern money.
The coin collection of the United
States is incomplete, but contains nu'
merous particularly interesting spec1.
mems. Some Of the recalled 2 and g.
cent copper pieces and the 8, 10 and
20-cent pieces of silver are included
Samples of the American coinage OF
the island possessions are also on ex'
hibition. AS a whole, though not com
plete so far as issues Of coins are
concerned, this collection Is excer
tionally interesting and valuable, IN
Guiding, as it does, examples from sc
many countries and localities.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1914-08-12

AS 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 long
time. However, the full extent of 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
river formation of the Uinta basin in
northwestern Colorado and northeast
ern Utah.

WIRELESS TORPEDO.

Peculiar interest attaches at this
time to the announcement that both
the war and navy departments are
watching closely a mechanical play
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 Hammond of a mechanism
for operating torpedo by "non-inter-
ferable radio impulses" from land
station. Hitherto it has been posi-
BILE to operate a 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,
a hostile battleship against which
land-operated torpedo might be di-
rected could, with it's own wireless
radio impulses, interfere with and
negative those of the land station.
Mr.. Hammond's invention is cred
tied with making such interference a
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 it's 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.

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 it 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, if it has something
of value for the people, it ought to
illustrate this itself by way of ex-
ample
The bureau of mines has for 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 or
furnace If the coal is to be burned
economically and without smoke. By
using an experimental furnace the ex-
perts have discovered a number OF
carQlnaI principles CHdC Ih0y 0oJ
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 NJ. D. Foster, chairman of the
house committee on mines and min
ing, introduced a 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
tions 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.
