harnessinu GeYsers.

With the possibility Of development
of 2,O0O,OO0 horse power from a
source hitherto never considered, Pa
cif1c coast railroads soon may be able
to electrify their entire systems.
The new power, now under investi-
cation, is that of heat and pressure
of the internal earth itself and it will
be tapped at points where 1t already
penetrates to the surface in the form
of geysers.
In the geyser fields of Sonoma coun-
ty a test well recently was drilled
which has developed 1900 horse pow
er. The company making the expert
ment, said to be controlled largely by
the Southern Pacific, has leased a
tract of land ten miles long through
the geyser country on which could be
sunk 1000 wells capable of develop
ing a possible 100000 horse power,
or enough to run every train on the
coast, move the wheels In every fac.
tory, and still have a big surplus
without touching the water power or
oil resources.
The cost of geyser power would be
only the cost of transmission and the
supply is said to be practically mex
haustible.

Billions for Buildings.

Even though, during the war, we
grew accustomed to quoting enormous
figures, 1t is somewhat startling to see
big figures applied to matters of
peace One doesn't ordinarily speak
of the home in billions. 1t was ar
resting, then, to pick up recent re-
port from Roger Babson and read
makes. He says that the total amount
of new construction in the United
States this year probably will exceed
5000, 100000. Five billions, And Of
this sum 1t is estimated that half will
be spent in the building of residences.
Two and half billion dollars worth

INTERESTING NOTE ABOUT
THE PICTURE "KICk IN''

Call sheets at motion picture stu
dios are funny things. For instance
here's one for Kick In," a new George
Fitzmaurice Paramount picture, fea-
turing Betty Compson, Bert Lytell and
May McAvoy, which comes to the
Grantwood Theatre, on next Sunday,
March II. 1t calls for the following:
Flip girls, Typical Jewish
women, 10 Irish women, 20 women
all ages and sizes 60, broom peddler
with brooms, 1 ice-wagon, full, and
with driver, l street-car motorman, 1
typical Italian woman, able to carry
basket on head, 1 umbrella mender
1 Salvation Army lassie, etc., ad in
finitum. This motley group was gath
cred together to portray New York
Slum scene.

Washing Railroad Cars.

Specially adapted for washing rail-
way cars while they are in motion, a
machine, described In Popular Me-
chanics Magazine, is constructed with
long vertical rotating brush, and on
each side of it radially swinging
squeegees, all arranged so that they
move automatically out of the way of
protruding parts on the car Sides
One of these washers stands on each
side of the railway track, and, when
the train approaches, the operator
depresses lever handle and the
brush and squeegees Immediately
come into contact with the car side
and windows. The brush Is rotated
by an electric motor, and a cleansing
fluid Is discharged into the brush,
followed by jets of fresh water This
is then wiped off by the squeegees.

DIAMOND TOWN IN AFRICA
Luderitzbucht, Thoroughly Teutonic
in Every Way, Has Vast Store
of the Precious Gems.

Only diamonds account for the ex-
bucht. The workings have just been
reopened for the first time since 1914.
1t was characteristic of the Ger
mans to have built solid Teuton city
on barren coast. They did every
thing. thoroughly. Luderitzbucht has
electric light, splendid government
buildings and u cinema theater.
The shops are crammed with goods
imported direct from Germany
Prices are far cheaper than in the
neighboring Union of South Africa,
and you can buy anything you want
on the spot-with British money, of
course. Marks are laughed at.
Yet not blade of grass nor tree
Will grow within hundred miles of
the place. Every drop of fresh water
has to be distilled. The citizens do
not drink much water. They make
excellent beer.
The brown sandhills of the coastal
belt, where LuderitZbucht stands, are
rich in diamonds. Only the other day
a woman picked up valuable gem in
front Of her home In the main street
Of the city. By law she was COM
PEELED to hand 1t over.
Just outside the city are the dia-
mond fields-verboten areas where
notices warn the visitor against tres
passing. Here thousands of natives
will soon be at work Sitting the sur
face gravel. Diamonds are found in
these parts without much digging.
No taxicabs ply for hire in the
sandy streets Of Luderitzbucht All
transport Is by trolleys drawn by
mules and running on narrow-gauge
lines. Every home has Its own little
branch line running into the back
yard.
