To what end 7 That all mankind may be benefited hy knowledge of the sources of energy. Sir Chnrles A. Panama of England Is the man who makes the suggestion ubout financing the project. It would be an admirable thing," he we Bays, "If some American have few of them left In Great Britain now would donute the money for the work. Otherwise the work will have to be done through International effort because of the tremendous expense. What Is the expense? Well, something like 1100,000,000. llpw long will It tnke? Oh, something like SO years. Can it he done! Sir Chnrles ays he's made experiments that' prove It can. Given the money, tlie engineers will d the rest. Now, this man Parsons Is un engineer whose reputation makes It worth while to pay attention to what he saya. Hes Kir Charles Algernon Par-eon-s, K. C. R. (1911), II., M. A., D. Sc, F. R. 8, etc. He was born in 1854, the fourth eon of the third earl of Uosse. All the engineering world knows him aa the man who has probably had most to do with the adaptation of the steam turbine engine to commercial purposes on a large scale. He Is the head of several big engineering and elecand Is doubttrical works at Nowcast hvon-Tyn- e less able to contribute liberally to the project which has largely occupied his attention for twenty years or more. It's a fasdnntlng notion, this boring Into the crust of old earth to see what old Dame Nature is holding out on us. The scientific sharps hnve figured and figured until they now think Hint the whole mass composition of the whole envelope of the earth Is about like this: Tlie lithosphere or rocky portion nlout ten miles thick and forming about it3 per cent of whole: the hydrosphere or seas, nearly 7 per rent, and the atmosphere about 0.03 jier cent Now, nlumt 95 per cent of the surface rocks Is Igneous or volcnnlc. These preponderant rocks solidified from a fused condition and are evidence that the Interior of the earth whence they came la In a molten condition. 'IIow deep down Is this molten core? That's unknown of coarse, but volcanic activities in various parts suggest that It Is not many miles deep and also that the rocky crust Is not everywhere of the same thickness. The newest volcnnlc field Is the Kntmat National monument in southwestern Alnskn. In 1912 Mount Katinal blew off Its bond and covered a large pRrt of the world with ashes and dust The explosion created the Valley of Ten Thousand where the earth Is hot and snprrhented Smokes'-- ' itenm Issues In thousands of hissing columns.

Oil wells have been driven deeper than mine shafts. Tlie deepest I stated to be at Falmiount. W. Va, 7,579 feet. There sre othera over 7,000 feet deep In California, Pennsylvania and Germany.

In hla presidential the engineering section of the British association he said. In part: A most important Investigation needing attention is the exploration of the lower depths of the earth. At present the deepest shaft la, I believe, at the Cape, a little over a mile In depth, and the one made In Silesia by the deepest bore hole Is Austrian government, which Is nbout the same at greater depths Is depth. Wliut would tie found at present a matter for conjecture, founded on the observed at or near dip and thickness of strata the surface. Much money and valuable lives HAve lieen devoted to exploration of the polar regions, hpt there can he no comparison between the scientific Interest and the possible material results of deep eurth exploration and a great engineergeology. ing attack on deep-seate- d There would be some departure from ordinary engineering practice In sinking the proposed exsunk In a locality ploratory shaft It would bewater-bearinstrata to avoid as far aa possible and tbe necessity of pumping. It would he of similar slxe to that of a modem colliery shaft It would be sunk In stages of about half a mile In depth, anil at each stage there would be placed hauling and other machinery, to be worked electrically, for dealing with the operation In each stage. The depth of each slngo would be rosl rioted to half a mile. In order to avoid a disproportionate cost In the hauling machinery and the weight of rojio, as well as Increased cost on the cooling arrangements arising from excessive hydraulic pressures, At each second or third mile In depth there would be air locks to prevent air pressure from becoming excessive owing to the weight of the superincumbent air, which at from two to three miles would reach about double the atmospheric pressure at the surface. A greater rise In pressure than this would be objectionable for two reasons first, from the inconvenience to the workmen ; second, from the rise In temperature due to the adiabatic compression of the circulating air for ventilating purposes. The air pressure Immediately above each air lock would thus reach to about two atmospheres and beneath to one atmosphere.

Sir I Charles said British sclent lets, as well as officials of the Royal observatory at Greenwich, were greatly Interested In the scheme. IVe dont know wliut Is down there and we ought to; thnte the point," he said. I have been doing preliminary experimentation for eight years and I am certain that such a shaft la a practicable' engineering project and that the only thing necessary to make It a reality la the money. It might be possible to go deejier than 12 miles. "I would have the shaft 20 feet in diameter and lined with granite, which experiments have shown would not fall in. The shaft would be sunk to different levels, In the same way that mining shafts are sunk, and It would bw necessary, after we got down to a sufficient depth, to have the heat pumped out At 12 miles the temperature Is probably as high as 272 degrees Fahrenheit' Dr. Arthur Selwyn Brown discusses Blr Charles project at considerable length In tbe New York Herald-TribunHe says In part: "Engineers who have worked In mines candidly admit that a deep exploration shaft properly managed wonld be of Inestimable value to science.

A depth of about three miles Is the best they would admit, under present experience, to he possihle fur a shaft. There ore numerous difficulties In deep sinking which are cumulatively felt every foot that Is sunk when the hot rone la met at depth. Ventilation, water bailing, hauling would all present difficult problems at the depth of two miles and there would he the difficulty In blocks dowfl and getting the granite shaft-lininset in position. Nevertheless, the proposal la one that merits attention. A shaft properly sunk to tlie greatest attainable depth would be of fur greater scientific value than a large number of polar and equaWe desire to know more of torial explorations. our enrth's crust than we do, of Its physical composition, Its periodic changes. Its temperature, magnetic and radio variations and Its volcanic movements. We need a number of underground observatories to secure data for a number of unsolved problems of science and to shed further light upon geology, mineralogy and chemistry. The rost of sinking and equipping a number of deep shafts would be abundantly repaid by accurate studies tm the earth's magnetism and radio activities alone. These nre among our most powerful sources of energy. Little Is known about them, .here can be little doubt, however, that when they are fully understood they will become the most potent factors in onr industral and socIrI lives. "A thorough, systematic study of the interior of the earths crust Is one of the greatest and most pressing fields for exploration today. It will need the establishment of a number of deep underground scientific observatories where observations may be made every hour of the day and night over a series of years. There should be one of these on every continent. They need not he s.tnk to the great depth suggested by Sir Charles Fsrsona. That appears to be an Impossible depth. They should be as deep aa they can bo sunk. Subterranean observatories would be such valuable national assets when properly established that it eema only a question of time whan this la Ised by the world's governments." ! g nal , WHEN wat the groat pyramid of j Clxcpa built f HOW rnn you dUtfogulih a mtlirlil mosquito ?
