Peruvian Petroleum.

Efforts are being made to develop
more extensively the petroleum re-
sources of Peru. The known depos-
its Of oil occur on very narrow strip
Of land between the foothills of the
Andees and the shore of the Pacific,
and much of this is flooded at high
tide. Piles Of railroad iron driven in
the pure ocean sand, which varies in
depth from five to fifty feet, are used
as foundations for the derrcks. The
shallowest of the driven wells is 1SO
feet, and the deepest 1,76O feet in
depth. There is very little gas, and
the oil is very heavy, so that 1t can
be put into buckets with shovels, and
1t is carried direct to the furnaces
to serve as fuel.

Mango in Porto Rico.

1t is reported that the climate of
Porto Rico is favorable for the cultiva-
tion OF what has sometimes been called
the finest of tropical fruits, the mango.
but although mangoes abound in the
island they are Seeding trees, and
the fruit Is inferior to that OF the
famous bombay mango, which is a
grated tree. 1t is believed that fine
mangoes could be grown in abundance
IN Porto Rico by importing the best
grafts' and that the industry can be
developed into an important one as
soon as the excellence of the fruit be-
comes known in the United States.

AUTOMOBILE TIRE DOPE

RDo you know the story Of how
Iodyear engineers have made a re-
|ction from 40 to SO per cent in the
ernal heat generated in Goodyear
res asks Fl. L. Blythe, Factory
|perintendent Of the Goodyear Tire
Rubber Company Of California.
Everybody knows that any auto
bile tire as it rolls along, gener-
Is internal heat, which has a highly
|tructive tendency inside the cas-
! FOR years since Goodyear began
Hiding cord tires back in 1903, the
kodyear engineers endeavored to de-
te some means Of overcoming this
ernal heat-and now Goodyear Pa
ted Group Ply Construction is the
built of their labor.
1Originally, in tire building, the
= es of cord fabric were cut on the
j. and additional strength was
ght by having the alternate plies
in opposite directions. But the
ction between the plies caused
! 1t to be generated and threatened
separation.
Finally after q long period of ex-
timentation, they hit upon the idea
[running the plies of cord fabric in
tlps. This meant that in a 6-ply
two layers of fabric would be
down with the cords running in
\ opposite direction. Then one
re layer with the cords running in
! first direction and the other layer
/ h the cords running in the other
Bection.
fThis gave three points of contact
Ivcen the plies as against five points
contact in the old method. In
i er words. it reduced the heating
dency 40 per cent.
PSimilarly, in an S-ply tire, the
ps were laid in pairs. each pair
king the cords running in the op-
Ute direction from the other pair
result, points of contact were re-
bed from seven to three. or a re-
ton in the heating tendency of So
! cent.
fThis discovery proved the solution
ahe problem OF internal friction and
idea was Immediately patented

lction of all Goodyear Cords.
