THE WAY OF A MAN. BY Thomas Dix
on. d. Appleton & Co. $3.50.
This is a romance of Goth cen
fury New York. A beautiful, cul-
tured woman, editor of radical
periodical devoted to the liberation
| of mankind from the slavery of con-
vention, believes that true happiness
for woman consists in absolute free
dom of action in whatever concerns
her. She falls in love with splendid
man who utterly refuses to accept
her views until she deliberately
breaks down his resistance. How
her alluring theories work out in
practice, and how her conception of
happiness and freedom is affected by
her own experience, form the sub
stance of this book.

When the Stew Burns.
A very youthful and inexperienced
little housekeeper called a domestic
science expert up the other after
noon by telephone She said she
had beautiful beef ragout" but
she forgot it and it had burned; it
was half an hour of dinner time, and
what should she do?
The first thing in any case of

of the pan into another container
Immediately. Never add water or
stir up scorched food. If lust the
gravy is slightly scorched the add
ton of a bit of brown sugar will
kill the scorched taste. If badly
scorched rescue all the meat possible
and make a new gravy we'll sea-

Upon questioning, the young
housewife said: why, yes, I have a
jar of extract of beef but only use
it for BROTH" SO taking chances
that only the gravy and not the
meat itself was burned. these are
the directions given:
Chop up another onion very fine

Drowned fat and onion until flour
is brown. Make a generous cup
full of beef boullion with the ex-
tract Of beef and boiling water and
add to it the Drowned flour, stirring
constantly; then heat the meat in
it. This is not to be recommended
as proper ragout, but it makes a
palatable dish and the housewife
saved the meat

EARLY SUNDAY HOURS
ARE BUSY TIME FOR

Beginning during the early morn
ing's dewey hours, at which time a
fight was reported to be in progress
somewhere in the northeast part or
the city. the city patrol wagon was a
busy barouche all day sunday, with the
result that the police headquarters had
about all the guests it would hold by
court time this morning.
The charges ranged from just PLAIN
drunk to assault with intent to Kill.
The major cases were turned over to
the county officials, but this only made
room for more, as the patrol wagon
continued to roll in, omnibus fashion.
Dud slaughter was severely cut by
some parties unknown to the police.
However, the officers have detained
three under suspicion, who have been
turned over to the COUNTY for further
investigation.

During the past few years the Hope

| two and one-half times as heavy
| as water, extends to a depth OF
| less than 1000 miles. Inside Of this

porature at the center of this nucleus
range from 1900 degrees to 10000 de-
grees T., but these figures have little
or no value, for mathematicians have
not yet found the law of the distrbu-
ton of temperature from the surface
to the center of the earth. The tenn
pcrature evidently increases with the
depth, Il fact again confirmed by an
elaborate series Of observations of tenn
pcrature made in each of the three
deep wells, the Geury. the Goff, and
the Lake, by c. T.. Van Ostrani, of
the United States Geological Survey,
Department Of the Interior In each
Of these wells the temperature at
depth of 100 feet is about 80 degrees
T.. and gradually rises with increase
in depth, reaching 142.O degrees f. in

feet, 1898 degrees +. in the Goff well
at a depth of 1910 feet, and 1856 de-
grees f.. in the Lake well, at a depth
Of $500 feet. The observation at a
depth of $500 feet in the Lake well
was made at the deepest point yet
reached by any observer.
Unexplained Enormous Heat
The source Cf the enormous guam
tity of heat stored in the interior of
the earth is not known. Some writ
ers think this heat is due to the dis
integration of radium in the rocks,
others think that the earth is cool
ing globe, radiating heat developed
during condensation from the original
nebula and others think that it is due
to various causes, such as radioactiv-
ity, chemical reactions. impacts from
meteorites. or condensation from neb-
ulous material
Interesting Results of Deep Drilling

Four Deep Wells in tie World

Four Deep Wells in tie World
Named in order Of depth, the four
deepest wells in the world are the
Lake, 1873 feet; the Goff, 1886;
well at Czuchow. Germany, 7,34S; and
the Geary, 7,24S. The two deepest
wells in the world are therefore the
Lake and the Golf, the Lake surpass'
ing the German well by the large mar
gin of 231 feet In comparison with
theIe great depths, other depths
reached by wells or mines sunk in the
crust of the earth are rather insignifi-
cant The deepest mine in the world
is shaft No. of the Tamarack mine
in Houghton county, Mich. which has
reached a depth of $500 feet. Other
shafts of the Tamarack Co of the
Calumet & Hecla mine, in the Lake
Superior region, reach depths between
1000 and 5000 feet. Three shafts in
the Prizbram silver mines, in Austria,
have reached depths Of about $500
feet. The Victoria quartz mine, at
Bendigo. Australia is 1890 feet deep.
A number of shafts in the Transvaal
gold region of South Africa have been
sunk to depths Of about 1000 feet.
Limits 10 Depths of Mines and Wells
The depth to which a mining shaft
can be sunk is limited by the heat
of the rocks, as the temperature at
depth of a mile in nearly all parts OF
the earth is so high that workmen can
not live in it, even with ventilation.
The depth to which a well inches IN
diameter can be drilled seems to be de-
pend chiefly on skill in drilling and
strength of cable. The cable itself is
heavy, and besides carrying its own
weight and the weight of a drill. which
weighs l or tons, it must bear strains
produced by vertical movements of the
Nrill. which may be so great as to
break it at any moment, so that the
drill and a part of the cable may be
lodged in the well in such way that
they can not be removed. Exceptional
skill is required. therefore. in operat-
ing the ponderous machinery used in
| drilling well. The drill, which Is i

column Of steel about inches in di-
ameter and 40 or so feet long beveed
to aN.shaped edge at the lower cable,
and at some other point, determined
by the driller, the cable is attached to
a long beam, which is operated in the
same manner as the walking beam Of
a steamboat. Merely to lift the drill
through the height determined by the
swing of the end of the walking beam
and to let it drop repeatedly would do
no drilling. In order to drill, oscilla-
tions must be induced in the cable,
such as those set up by attaching a
light weight to a suspended rubber
band. a slight oscillation properly
induced by a finger at the upper end
of the rubber band will produce a very
large oscillation of the weight attached
to its lower end. In some such way as
this the slillful driller produces oscil-
iations in the drill bit, which throw
the sharp believed dege of the drill on
to the rock with high velocity. The
only means that the driller has of
knowing the behavior of the drill is
the general behavior of the machinery
and the slight impulses of tremors in
the cable, which he detects by his hand
alone.
Deep Drilling is Instructive
The information obtained from drill
holes carried to great depths is of ex-
ceptional economic and scientific i'm
portance. Although the wells drilled
by the Hope Natural Gas Co. and the
Peoples Natural Gas Co. have not yet
reached the goal sought-a depth OF
5000 feet-they have, nevertheless,
come within 421 feet of the goal. and
incidentally they have established the
fact that no valuable deposits of oil
exist in the immediate vicinity of the
wells at depths somewhat greater than
1000 feet.
What's in the Interior of the Earth?
The materials and the conditions IN
the interior of the earth have long been

among scientific men. According 10
