United States District Court this

pressing automobile tires. Six of
these machines we're shipped and
paid for. The other four were held
pending instructions from the Per-
fection Company, and the action is
brought to recover the value OF the
four machines, S12,00 and the costs
for storage, amounting to approxi-
mately $3.50 additional
The defense, it is understood. will
make the claim that after the de-

The problem Of cooking by the
suns rays seems easier than the
problem Of getting power from
them.
In the operation Of cooking one
has only to raise the temperature
of the food to the proper point and
hold il there in order to accomplish
the results. The problem then is to
collect the suns rays. apply them
to the ovens or other cooking uten-
sils and prevent the loss of heat.
About six years ago, solor cook
ing experiments were begun at the
Smithsonian solar observing station
on Mt. Wilson in California. The
project was to collect the suns rays
by means Of a large mirror, bring
them TO focus on a tube containing
oil Of high boiling point, and cause
the oil to flow around the cooking
ovens which we're to be enclosed in
a reservoir maintained at high tenn
perature by the oil circulation.
II was proposed to make the all
reservoir so large that once hot it
would remain hot all the night and,
indeed keep at a fairly high tenn
perature even il there should be
some cloudiness.
In order to make the construction
as cheap as possible, the mirror was
made up in sections which could be
fastened together, as many as de-
sired, much the same as a sectional
book case can be built up OF its
units.
Each section was made OF steel
with a concave, cylindrical backing

Deepest Well In the
World Taps Earth s Heat
BY ARTHR DE CHEsPIGNY.

IL is a matter Of everyday knowl-
edge that the interior of our globe
is hot Concerning the temperatures
that prevail much more than a mile
below the surface we have no direct
evidence, but on the other hand, a
great deal OF information has been
collected showing how fast the tenn
perature increases with descent down
to depths OF several thousand feet in
various parts Of the world.
The data have been obtained from
mines and from deep borings, in
cluding artesian wells. oil wells, etc.
For more than so years a perma-
nent committee of the British Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of Sci
ence has been gathering and dis
cussing information of this charac-
ter.
In this country the leading au-
thority on underground tempera-
lures is G. Il. Van Orstrapd of the
U. S. Geological Survey. who has done
more work in the measurement of
deep well temperatures than any
body else in the world, and who is
preparing to publish a complete ac-
count Of such measurements made in
all countries.
At depth of so or 60 feet under
ground the temperature remains
constant through the year, and is
about the same as the average an
nual temperature of the air for the
region in question.
Heat Increases.
AT greater depths the temperature
increases more or less regularly as
we go downward.
The rate of increase is. however
different in different parts of the
world. There are regions where an
increase as rapid as one degree
Fahrenheit in 20 feet has been noted,
while elsewhere IL is as slow as one
degree in 10 feet. The average for
the world is one degree in so to 60
feet
The recent drilling OF some re-
markably deep wells in the Appa-
lachian oil fields of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia has enabled Van Or
strand to take temperatures at
depths hitherto unexplored.
In 1916 the Hope Natural Gas
Company began drilling for gas or
oil near Clarksburg, w. Va, and sue
ceeded in reaching a depth Of 1886
feet in March, 1918, when the break
ing of the cable put a stop to the
work.
This drilling. known as the NJ. o.
Goff we'll, was soon afterward
eclipsed by another we'll drilled by
the same company near Fairmount.
w. Va, the l. II. Lake well, which
Evening journal., 1921-05-11

now holds the worlds record, with a
depth Of 1879 feet. reached June IS,
1919. As in the previous case, the
well had to be abandoned on account
Of a broken cable.
Although no oil or gas OF CONNER
cial value was located in either Of
these enterprises, the two deep wells
have furnished much interesting
geological information, which has
been published by the United states
Geological Survey and the West Nir-
ginia Geological Survey.
In the Lake wen temperature
measurements were made down to a
depth Of 1900 feet. where a reading
of 1877 degrees Fahrenheit was re-
corded.
Van Orstrand estimates that the
boiling point Of water would be
reached at somewhere near 10000
feet below the surface.

when she learnst hat he rs unfaithful.
At the samet ine news comes of his
