UNABLE TO FIND BOTTOM
IN LAKE OF ASPHALT
Behring'S Made at Trinidad to Depth
Of $50 Feet Without
Result.
According to a report from Henry

According to report from Henry
D. Baker, United States consul to
Trinidad. British west Indies. an
other attempt has just been made
to ascertain the depth of the famous
Trinidad asphalt lake. The latest at
tempt to find the bottom of the de-
post established a record for depth
of $50 feet. Previous borings made
in 1893 sunk a shaft to 1876 feet be-
fore being stopped.
The Trinidad asphalt lake is about
ia acres in diameter and this entire
mass is in SLOW. almost impercepti-
BILE motion, which is the cause of the
extreme difficulty in making sound
ings, as this motion bends and
breaks the sounding apparatus.
The latest horings were made in
the center of the lake by sinking a
two-inch pipe. The motion of the
asphalt was found to exist as deer
as 100 feet and at depth between
twenty-five and fifty feet the motion
seemed to be reversed. The core re-
| moved from the recent borings shows
the asphalt to be of uniform char
acter throughout.
1t is stated that another effort will
soon be made. with special appa.
ratus, to find the bottom of this great
asphalt deposit.

 INITIATION SCALE
Carless Driving and Bad Roads Not Only Cause
 of Tire Troubles

Despite the constant stress being placed by tire manufacturers on the importance of proper tire imitation, ! from the standpoint of long milea ge. l the vast majority of tire users continue very careless in this respect. according I to some of the tire makers in Akron.
 The tire users, as a body, don't seem l to realize that underinflation, and sometimes overinflation, are more in i furious to the tires than bad roads,
 careless driving and the other hfEdi- l caps that beset the average tre,S de clares F. c. Milhoff, general sales man ager of the Miller Rubber company. Its an old story. Nevertheless. in | f1ation trouble is so unnecessary that one cannot ignore the terrific abuse that pneumatic tires undergo in this respect. Manufacturers and dealers spend a great deal of money for litera- ture that will show the motorist the proper imitation required for his tires,
 but only a comparatively few of the
 motorists profit thereby. The others either lose the data or pay no atten-
 tion to it.
 While it is true that the proper de- gree of carrying capacity and imitation
 may vary slightly with different makes of tires, standard scale carefully ar rived at could be used to advantage by all motorists. One of the best general scales for capacity and imitation is that
 recently adopted by the tire and rim di = vision of the Society of Automotive en-
 gineers."
 The scale referred to by MT Millhoff follows:
