Big Battle To-day.


CHICAGO. June 25.-with opinions APP
rarently hopelesly irreconcilible. Progress
sive leaders from all parts OF the country
assembled in Chicago to-day gor the
meeting OF the Progressive National Com
mittee in the Auditorium Hotel at IL
O'Clock tomorrow morning.
In one camp is George W. Perkins OF
New York and william Finn of Penn

Most OF the insurgeuts-those who will
not follow the Coloucl's lead I'm indorsing

Mr. Perkins. Mr.. McGrath and their
associates have little TO say. Mr.. Per
kins admitted that he hoped to "smooth
things out a l'tle" In a number OF con-
fercnces preceding the meeting OF the
committee, but would make no predlc-
ons az to the mai outcome OF the rue
ton.
Il don't know anything was all tina:
Mr. McGra'h would say except TO con
f"ss himself in possession of the Colonies

The rebels however. were more
communicative. col Parker led the
way with a declaration that he favors
a third party ticket. 10 matter what
Col. Rooeevelt's letter recommends.
James NJ. lngersoll. national committee
man from Idaho. says he will support
neither Mr.. Hughes nor Mr.. Wilson.
With these two leading the way the
other rebels" are ready 20 20 into the
meeting and defeat the wishes ~ those
who favor following Col. lloOscvcl's in

The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1916-01-08

The model reproduces III every de-

bbean Sea Just off the coast OF Nene'
zuela Trinidad has no gold but is a
yeritable gold mine to the British
crown. lust the same, and a most
significant little patch of land to the
civilized world as we'll; for however
isolate and insignificant it may be
otherwise, it does afford lake OF as
phalt, Just such asphalt as that OF he
city street. and practically every
large city in III, country has reason
TO be thankful for its existence.
Asphalt Lake, or Pitch Lake as 1t is
moro commonly designated, covers an
are. { about 1870 acres, with depth
of aboa ~ hit feet, and is q veritable
lake. Tor il s fed by underground
springs ana has its outlet just like
the ordina Ike, only that OF course
both feed ard outlet are asphaltic.
Quite naturally it does not bubble up
like spring of water, nor does II is
sue forth along its outlet in a babbl-
ing brook. In fact, its consistency IS
not unlike that OF an asphalt pave
ment on an extremely warm midsum-
mer day. but nevertheless it is re-
plenished by asphalt springs below,
and the lake is in constant, even il
not directly perceptible, motion.
Every year about $4,000 tons OF as
phalt are removed and shipped to this
country, and an approximately equal
amount to all other countries com
bined, without affecting the volume
of the lake to any great extent
The model is masterpiece OF real
ism. Standing alongside and looking
down at it, one readily projects his
Imagination into the realms of an ac-
tual aeroplane view of the island with
its weird black lake of asphalt in the
centre, its sections of green sward
its homes and refining plant, and the
tramway along which the asphalt is
brought to the water for shipment,
all basking in lazy realism in the trop
ical sun, while the tiny trees seem to
culver in the gentle breeze, and the
waves from the ocean of vivid blue
break on the broad beach and coral
cliffs that rim the margin of the is

surface of the asphalt lake, and here

For a complete explanation OF the
unique lake OF asphalt scientists are
somewhat at loss. After refining
certain crude oils. or petroleum. and
thus removing the lighter oils such
as gasoline and kerosene, there is left
a black pitchy substance composed
chemically of hydrogen and carbon
This hydrocarbon is IS h1.t identi
cal excepting as to impurities with
that of Asphale Lake. Moreover
Trinidad, in addition to the asphalt
OF its unique lake, yields crude oil
So it would seem that Nature herself

tural refinery wherein the process oil

in crude oil is done, and then in a
manner hardly more readily compre'
hensible her asphalt residuum is put
at the disposal of man.
There are a number OF natural solid
