The Trinidad Asphalt Lake

The asphalt found in the well-known
pitch lakes in the island of Trinidad,
British West Indies, is supposed to have
been formed from petroleum oil be-
coming mixed with clay at a consider
able distance from the surface.
The deposit lies in a bowl like de-
preston. evidently the crater of an
old mud spring or volcano, covering
a superficial area of about 141 acres
and having a depth of more than 1876
feet, as shown by "a boring made by
a wash drill. The boring was neces-
sarily continued at this depth, as, owing
to the movement of the pitch, the pipe
so far departed from the perpendicular
as to prevent further work. This move
ment is due to the evolution of gas
on the release of the pressure. to which
1t has been subjected, OH reaching the
surface, which is an original compon-
ent of the petroleum as 1t is found in
the oil sand" The entire surface of
the deposit is in constant motion. 1t is
sufficiently solid to permit of driving
horse and cart over IT, and to support
with constant attention, railroad ira ok
for gathering and shipping the asphalt.
From it's form and environment 1T is
known as a lake. 1t lies about half
a mile from the sea at an elevation of
1873 feet above allurgical and
Chemical Engineering.

MARKET SQUARE TRAFFIC

TN consideration of traffic provisions
for Market Square the objection to
closing any main highway ought to
have the best thought of the architects
and city authorities. Philadelphia has
never ceased to regret the placing of
its City Hall in the center of Broad
street, and as Harrisburg grows 1t is
becoming more and more evident that
the monument at the intersection of
State and Second streets must be re-
moved to another location. In short,
the blocking of highways by any
structure must be avoided.
Most persons will agree that Market
Square is susceptible of improvement
in more ways than one, but in the
correction of present traffic difficulties
care should be exercised that our last
estate is not worse than the first.
Nobody will contend for a moment
that present conditions are satisfac-
tory. The street railway service is
constantly interrupted by the effort of
the city and 'cross-river systems to
utilize the same sections of track. 1t
Is py reason or theSe factS that the
problem in Market Square must be
solved by those who have had prac-
teal experience in the operation of
street railway lines.
Headway in the matter is possible
after the selection of an engineer who
will study all phases of the subject
and devise plan that shall be accept
able to the people. 1t is pointed out
by the municipal authorities that there
is no provision in either of the ordi-
nances relating to the Market Square
matter for the placing of a public
comfort station IN the Square. Drop
| ping this feature of the controversy,
we have no doubt some practical So
luton of the problem might be
reached.

LET ALL COOPERATE

HlTY ELECTRICIAN DIEHL, who
~ has given much study to the
underground wire movement of
recent years, is hopeful that with the
completion of the underground sys-
tenn provided in the merger ordinance
OF the electric light companies this
year there will be a still further de-
Velopment in this direction through
the cooperation of other corporations
whose poles and wires are still above
ground in the business district.
We can see no reason why CITY
Council should not at once give at
tention to this matter to the end that
the unsightly poles and menacing net
work of wires along Walnut and other
streets shall be removed within
the year. 1t is hardly fair to expect
one or more corporations to place
their wires underground and allow
others 20 maintain overhead systems,
Considerable headway having been
made in this direction there should be
no cessation of activity, especially
when public interest and expectation
have been aroused by the creditable
work already accomplished.

CAPITOL PARK ZONE

IN an interview with representa-
tive of the Telegraph concerning
the treatment of the Capitol Park
zone, Arnold W. Drummer, the distin-
guished planning expert, points out
how necessary is a careful study of
all the matters affecting the develop
ment of the public grounds in this
city. He shows that intimate and
thorough analysis of every aspect of
this important development will be
necessary to obtain the best results.
1t is not a matter for a day; it is a
work which will endure for gen.
erations.
All who are interested in this great
improvement will agree with Mr..
ming, that nothing is too good for this
great Commonwealth in the way of
Rdornment of the grounds which sur
round the magnificent State House.
Broad vision, a clear conception of
the relation of the city tc the State
and practical knowledge of the vari-
Dus features entering into the prob
lem will be necessary to a satisfactory
solution that will be approved by the
people.
Political controversy and all the
things which divert public attention
from the constructive matters which
should engage the attention of the
Legislature ought not to be permitted
in any way to interfere with the proper
designing and final treatment of the
Capitol Park zone.
We can see no reason, however, why
the one problem of wider streets
around the park should not be deter
mined at once. Wider highways are
obviously necessary, and as they are
inevitable the State should be able at
the present session to authorize such
work in this direction as is necessary
70 the ultimate solution of the problem.

Now For High School Boys /!

Captain Steever, who comes to insti-
tute military training in the high
schools, will have no doubt as to the
success of his plan after the reception
given by the boys to his outline of what
the drill would mean to them.
The three thousand boys in the high
schools have no doubt either. They
want the drill. Military drill is better
than any gymnasium work, and is far
more fun. Not every boy who takes
the drill will be a soldier. but those who
do become soldiers will be better ones
for ii and all will be better men and
citizens. Captain Steever will find n n

By BRIGGS

in thrift from the war-stricken nations.
France has appointed a National Board
of Supervisors, presided over by Ar
mond Falliers, former president of the
French Republic. This board, which is
nothing more or less than thrift
cabinet, will be invested with large
powers in an effort to stop waste, and
compel people to economize. Shops will
begin closing at p. nj. and restau-
rants and cafes. which are now COM
PEELED to close at 1890, will have to
close their doors an hour earlier. The
aters and operas will be closed on
Mondays, moving pictures on Tuesdays
and music halls on Wednesdays. The
board of supervision may name ad.
ditional closing days to reduce the
consumption of coal and lighting.
These facts should be extremely sig
nificant to Americans.
OF course. these are extreme war
time measures, but they show what a
powerful factor thrift can be made in
the routine of daily life.
The material resources of America
could be materially enhanced by the
application of thrift principles. without
in any way injurlng legitimate bust
I ness enterprises.
