The United States geological sur
vey has newly completed a study of
earth crust temperatures all over the
country and has found quite a num-
Der of hot spots where volcanic heat
is manifestly accountable for records
obtained in deep mines and by low
ering thermometers into artesian
wells.
Nor is this at all surprising when
it is considered that not so very long
ago much of our far western coun-
try was fairly afiame with eruptive
'1res-a fact evidenced by numerous
'cinder cones" and volcanoes rather
recently eXtinguisked and by sheets
of lava thousands of feet thick which
are spread over thousands of square
miles. These evidences of dead VOL
canoes are frequent.
For instance, in the mines of the
Comstock lode. in Nevada. the tenn
perature at depth Of only 300 feet
is 145 degrees-undoubted due to
hot volcanic material down below.
At a depth of five miles there must
be veritable furnace of molten
rocks. No wonder that toiers in
the deeper levels of the Comstock
have to be continually sprayed with
cold water to enable them to do
their digging!
Taking an average all over, the
temperature of the earth's crust
rises one degree in going down for
every GO feet of depth. But in places
it rises much faster. At Leadville
the rise is one degree for every II
feet and at Swede Corners. Col. it
is one degree for every eight feet
owing. as Is supposed, to a volcanic
cause.
In the Snake River valley of Ida
no there are numerous hot springs
where water comes up boiling from
the depths through assures in the
rocky strata. Many wells in Owyhee
county yield warm water. plainly
owing to lava flows the region being
activity.
AS everybody knows. in the yell
lowstone National Park the flames Of
literal hell are not far below the
surface of the ground. In the Fire
Hole district the whole country
country seems to be on fire. The
high-temperature phenomena are
merely exhibitions of a volcanic ac-
tivity formerly much more ire
mendous.
The first white person that ever
saw the Yellowstone Park-its dis
coverer. in fact-was a man named
Golfer. an employee of the North
western Fur Company. When. in
1911. he returned to st. Louis and
told about the marvels of the region,
nobody would believe him. After
ward on some maps it appeared as
Golfers He'll. Some time later Jim
Bridger. a famous scout, saw that
wonderland of nature but his ac-
counts of the petrified forest. the
mountain OF glass, the lakes of boil
Ing water. etc. though strictly true.
were regarded as Munchausen tales
and he could not persuade any news
paper to print them, SO obviously abb
surd and impossible did they seem.

washington, Feb. 2o-Chief JUS
tice Taft of the United States
supreme court in an address
at today's session of the national
conference of Bar associations, ex-
pressed the opinion that the country
today has about all the lawyers it
needs.
The chief justice. discussing the
proposal of the American Bar asso-
citation that future applicants for ad-
mission to the bar be required to
have two years college training in
addition to a three-year course in a
law school. declared not only HIS ap-
prevail of this plan, but went further
and said he hoped in the future a
complete college course, instead of
two years, would be required Of all
applicants.
IF a man cannot secure the prep
aration an average man should have
to be a lawyer" said Mr.. Taft. then
he should seek some other avenue of
livelihood. We have all the lawyers
we need now, and there is likely to
be no dearth of them. however. the
preparation insisted upon"
