HEAT IN EARTH'S INTERIOR
Official OF United States Geological
Survey Has Come Forward With
Sonte New Facts.

Lone-establi.hed theories regarding
the intense heat in the earth's interior
may have 70 be revised, if the incon-
elusive evidence adduced by tempera-
ture tesss in 10! deep wells in this
country by DR.. G. z. Van Orstrand Of
the United Stares geological survey
should be confirmed by further inres-
tigation. According to this expert.
the steady increase in temperature, so
great that q miner could NJ live at
depth OF. one mile, appears 20 be less
rapid little beyond that depth.
Combined with the fact that mathe-
maticiaps have not yet found the law
of distribution Of temperature from
the surface TO the center Of the earth.
this makes uncertain the estimate
of some scientists that the heat at the
center is as high as 10000 degrees
Fahrenheit. Observations at depth
of about 800 feet have been taken.
but Doctor Van Orstrand has not
been able to carry his investigations

Refrigerator Idea, Mere Than
Seventy-five Years Ago.

= Fifteen years before the Civil war
began. Darius Eddy. who was stage
carpenter at the cid Boston theatef,
completed the first refrigerator the
world had ever seen.
One day John Lodge father Of hen
nv Cabot Lodge, asked the young car
penter If there was not some way
that could be devised SO that 1000
products could be kept and used dar-
ing the hot summer months,
Eddy had an IDEA that if cold air
could be kept Inside container. IA
yorable conditions ought 20 prevail.
He experimental for days and weeks
until he conceived the idea OF an air
tight box which. could be cooled with
Ice and would maintain steady tenn
perature after 1t reached a certain
degree.
When the airtight box was finished
he showed it to Mr. lodge, and it was
put to the practical test. The results
were remarkable, and 50 far ahead Of
what Mr.. Lodge had expected that ne

liar boxes for his friends. Then Nr,
Eddy decided he would make refrig-

ONE THAT HE DIDN'T SHOW
Autograph Faker Probably Carefully
Put Away That Particular Copy
of MarIoWe's Works.

Senator Lodge at Boston dinner
party said, apropos Of an autograph
collector who had bought fake auto
s-aph of Marlowe, the Elizabethan
dramatist:
"That reminds me. There was once
a New York man who collected books
with autograph dedications. Most OF
these dedications were to himser.
Open his Longfellows, his Kiplings, his
Bernard Shaws, or his Maupassants,
and there would be his name in a
fiattering autograph deduction from
Ruddy or Guy, from Henry or George.
"Now, this mans friends had no
ticed, or thought they had noticed, a
certain similarity about the handWrit-
ing of all these dedieations. Probably
they were wrong. but anyhow, after he
had shown fine folio volume Of Mar
lowe to q festive gathering one even

hook the next morning the following
words:
ITO BiIl'-his name was William
From his faithful old friend and

'sKYsCRAPER BUILT ON sTILTs
New York Architects Are Putting Up
Big Structure With Seemingly
!. Slender Supports. ,

A great, complicated skyScraper is
being built in New York under unusual
conditions. directly above the railroad
tracks Of a busy terminal. The tracks
running beneath its walls in some
places are double-decked. so that trains
pass on two levels through the base
ment of the building The entire struc-
ture rests upon slender stills. extending
between the tracks down to bedrock.
A unique method has been found for
isolating these urrights So that the
constant rumbling of heavy trains on
both levels causes not the slightest
vibration in the building above
This construction including the dig
ging for the foundation and the cree
ton of the building. is being carried
on without affecting the movement Of
trains beneath. The entire weight Of
the skyscraper rests upon the sup
ports rising between the tracks which
are spacel in the usual way. Although
capable Of supporting 20 or more
stories, these stills seem surprisingly
slender Both track levels beneath
the building are remarkably free from
distractions, so that engineers have a
clear view oi other tracks to either
side.
1t was at first believed that only
structures Of six or eight stories could
be safely supported on such founda-
ti0ns. a series of tests. including the.
measurements of vibration caused by
the passing of trains, proved that
buildings could safely be raised to ~
stories on these supports. Excava-
tons for foundations have been car
ried down until the beams rest upon
solid rock The whole operation has
teen carried On witho@: upsetting train
schedules.
Each column supporting the building
is completely isolated. 1t is not enough
to keep it from touching the founda-
tions on which the tracks lie. 1t also
must be protected by vibration mats
from the rock on which it rests, so
that vibrations from passing trains
will not affect it.
