ALCOHOL AS FUEL,
A CHILEAN PROJECT
Producers Point to Good Use
of Commodity.

VALPARAISO, July 26.-In an effort to
solve the anti-alcoholio problem without
endangering the industry IN this country
the Society de Fomento Fabril has pre-
sented a proposal to the Minister of the
interior suggesting the use of alcoholic
products for manufacturing and other
Industrial purposes.
The Society de Fomento Fabril IL a
strong Chilean organization dedicated to
the development OF manufacturing and
commerce in this country. In its COM
munication the society says:
alcohol 10 not now only used In
liquors but in heating and lighting, as
well as in the generation of motive
power. Annually there Is shipped to
this country great quantities of benzine
and naphtha, which clearly suggests the
substitution OF a combustible of national
origin whose cost may be equal to or less
than that charged for products original
ing In foreign countries.
The Royal Automobile Club of Lon
don has experimental on a mixture OF
alcohol, ether, ammonia gas and arsenic
acid ana found that the resultant pro-
duces the sano effect as benzine. Sue
cessful experiments on automobile mo-
tors have been made in Santiago by
using a mixture composed Of e5 per cent.
Of alcohol. 10 per cent OF ether and Is
per cent OF benzine.
"In the use OF the above named FORM
ula a reduction OF rs per cent. in the
importation of benzine and naphtha
would be effected. The production OF
alcohol in Chile Is about s,s54,l2s litres
but with protective tariff this quantity
could easily be Implicated"

COLOMBIA OIL
TO BE DEVELOPED
Government Favorable to
Outside Capital.

Announcement has been made that the
Emerald Oil Company has leased 2,000,-
600 acres Of oil land In Colombia from
the American.Colom Company Of
Utah. This acreage is stated to be in
one tract between two navigable rivers
and to contain several billion feet of
valuable lumber. Drilling will commence
next winter. following a thorough study
to be made by a reconnaissance party
This should be a forerunner OF other

GRAFTON for some time, prosecution Of

Colombia, as is not generally known. has
a very bright future for petroleum de-
velopment. The Caribbean district en-
braces three fields. The first and more
easily accessible consists os strip Of
country 800 miles long and fifty miles
wide, extending on the east from Rio
Hacha, on the west of the Goajira Pc
ninsufa. to the Cuffs of Darien and
Urabia in the east. 1t contains
900 square miles Of probable productive
territory. one square mile Of which is
already proved.
The two largest pools are the Tubare,
twenty miles east OF Cartagena, where
the only natural gas In South America Is
to be found. and the Turbaco pool. from
twelve to fifteen miles south OF Carta-
gena- The second is the Magdalena-
SantandeH held, situated in the southern
part Of the Departments of Magdalena
and Santander, the western edge of
Boyaca, and the southeastern part OF
Bolivar. II Is q strip 200 miles long and
fifty miles wide, containing 900 square
miles, 200 of which are estimated to be
productive. The third field is the To-
lima, situated In the upper Magdalena
basin. in the Departments of Cundina-
marca and Tolirna, and on the edge Of
the San Martin and Casanare plains.
1t contains only 1000 square miles. 100
of which are estimated to be productive.
and In addition is rather difficult of
access.
The Pacific district Is in the Depart
ment Of Cauca. 1t is belt from sixty
to seventy miles long running along the
Pacific coast, north OF Buenaventura to
the Baudo River and reaching inland
to the Atrato at Quibdo and as far south
as Cali on the Cauca. It contains 1900
square miles, some eighteen OF which are
probably productive. although none has
as yet been proven.
With the increasing demand for oil
and with the petroliferous fields OF Mex
leo so endangered by the hostile atti-
tude OF the Mexican Government. It is
expected that the fields OF Colombia will
soon be very active, especially as the
attitude of the Colombian Government Is
very favorable to foreign capital which
desires to undertake operations.

MUSEUM ATTRACTS
100000 VISITORS
Agricultural Exhibits in Bue-

BuENos AYREs, July 27.-The names
OF over 100000 visitors were registered
and answers to over 10000 inquiries
were recorded last year by the officials
of the National Agricultural Museum
of Argentina, which occupies a magnii-
cent building in the city OF Buenos
Ayres. The spacious quarters of one
OF Argentina's most interesting and val
liable show places were constructed by
the Rural Society in 1910 for the
centenary exposition and were later
converted into a permanent exhibition
place in which the innumerable collec-
tons peculiar to the natural resources
of the republic were shown to the gen
eral public.
The immense size of the museum is
the wonder OF visitors. In one section
alone, dedicated to farm products, the
exhibits tabulated number more than
10000 specimens Although many Of
the exhibits collected for the exposition
are OF a permanent character, there
are thousands OF others that require
constant changing owing to their perish
able nature. For this reason a large

In Bolivia can be estimated at $50 kllo-

the Brazilian, Paraguayan, Uruguayan

vicuna. These lines, however. are not
on the logical route OF the Pan-Amerl-
lean line, which would pass through
Argentina or the central part Of South
America.
"The principal branch lines are: First,
two international connections in Brazil,
one northward from La Paz to Puerto
Pando on the Boni, and Villa Bella on
the Mamore. connecting with the Ma
deira Railway to Puerto Para on the
Atlantic. and the other continuation
of the branch line from Oruro, Cocha-

eastward. would connect with the main
line TO Rio Janeiro second, connections
with Paraguay would be made by con-

Mulato to Potosi along the valley of
the Rio Pilcomayo to Asuncion third,
the railway from Asuncion would con-
meet with the Central Railway of Par
aguay. which reaches Mislones, in Ar

the lines of the Alto Uruguay to Mon

to Rio Janeiro by direct train; fourth,
two railways in Chile could advantage
ously connect with the Pan-American,
one from La Pez to africa and the other
